1905 movie network news On October 23, 2023, Taiwan, China, the director appeared at the press conference of the movie "The Mysterious God on the Roof". The film tells the story of the heroine Fu Yue (Ariel Lin, played) who had to leave the crew halfway to take care of her seriously ill father and accompany her family back to her hometown of Chiayi. During this period of time back to her hometown to accompany her father, Fu Yue traveled all over her grandfather’s footsteps, recalled her grandfather’s beliefs and inherited beliefs, and found her new strength.

In the film, Ariel Lin and Zhou Yumin have a lot of passionate scenes, and Ariel Lin is semi-naked for the first time. In this regard, Zhou Yumin, who worked with her after many years of absence, gave unreserved praise for Ariel Lin’s dedication: "She is very professional in this part of the play, but I rarely shoot such scenes, but I have shot a lot of kissing scenes, and the scene setting is relatively adult. I asked Ariel how far she can go and where she can kiss. She gave me a lot of space, and the scene was cleared, which is quite easy to invest in."

Ruan Jingtian plays a rich boss in the film. Hearing that Zhou Yumin and Ariel Lin have so many intimate scenes, he joked: "I played Xuan Tian God, and they played on the roof of the car." Ruan Jingtian revealed that he cooperated with Zhou Yumin for the first time, but there was no opposite scene at all, and the two could only meet in the makeup room; they were also between knowing and not knowing Ariel, and the relationship in the play was the same.

During the press conference interview, several creators also responded to the story of the film’s producer suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Zhou Yumin said that he did not know Director Hou at first, because the film had this rare opportunity. Last year, Director Hou came when the filming was started and completed. He is an elder who has no sense of distance and will share his outlook on life and acting with him. Zhou Yumin said: "He is different from the director Hou I imagined. I thought he would be very serious." Regarding Director Hou’s illness, Zhou Yumin said that it was a pity that he met Director Hou too late.

The movie "Xuan Tian God on the Roof", produced by Hou Hsiao-hsien and directed by Huang Wenying, starring Ariel Lin, Zhou Yumin, Ruan Jingtian, and others, will be released in Taiwan, China on November 17, 2023.

Abstract □ Li Kaizhou

First, the knives used by ancient Chinese soldiers in the early days were all straight

After the movie "Embroidery Spring Knife · Shura Battlefield" was released, it achieved good box office results.

Like its sister work Embroidered Spring Blade I three years ago, the core story of this martial arts film still revolves around Daming Jinyiwei.

According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty · Official Records", the brocade-clothed guards were the royal armed forces. In addition to guarding the safety of the emperor, they were also in charge of arrest and imprisonment. "The sun, the sunset moon, the plowing, and the viewing of animals, they would wear flying fish clothes and embroidered spring swords, and they would serve around." Every large-scale court meeting and other important events, the brocade-clothed guards wore flying fish clothes and embroidered spring swords, and followed the emperor around.

That is to say, flying fish clothes and embroidered spring knives are the standard equipment of Jinyiwei in formal settings. If we go back to the Ming Dynasty and see someone wearing flying fish clothes and pulling out embroidered spring knives, don’t ask, it must be Jinyiwei. There is no doubt that in order to avoid trouble, we should hurry up and throw a girl!

Now let’s talk about the weapons in "Embroidery Spring Sword Shura Battlefield".

So far, the embroidered spring knife has only been found in written records, and there is no picture in the historical materials to describe the specific shape of this knife. The waist knife worn by the brocade-clothed guards in the Ming court painting "Police Entry" is likely to be the embroidered spring knife mentioned in the "History of the Ming Dynasty: Official Records", but we dare not guarantee it.

The embroidered spring knife in the movie is exquisite in workmanship and beautiful in shape. The handle is very straight, the blade body is narrow, the back is thick, the blade is thin, and the tail is slightly upturned, with a wonderful arc. This kind of knife is straighter than the waist knife depicted in "The Map of the Police Entering", and is more like the long knife depicted in the "Practical Discipline of Training" written by Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in the Ming Dynasty.

The knives used by ancient Chinese soldiers in the early days were straight, and they began to become more and more curved after the Song Dynasty. For example, the knives used by the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were long and thick, with powerful chops and powerful stabs, but they were too heavy to hold. Soldiers controlled the horse with their left hand and held the knife with their right hand. If they were not strong enough, they would be unstable in holding the knife. Fortunately, there were many Central Asian Hu in the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, who were tall and big, and were suitable for using this kind of heavy weapon. In the Song Dynasty, there were many more infantry than cavalry. Bows and crossbows were used in long-distance combat, and white blades were used in close combat. The lighter scimitars were gradually popularized. The sabers used by the Mongolian cavalry in the Yuan In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the Japanese samurai swords were long, curved and sharp, forcing the Ming Dynasty military swords to continue to reform and gradually develop in the direction of Japanese swords.

Second, what is the advantage of the scimitar?

What is the advantage of the scimitar compared to the long knife? In fact, the main thing is that it is more durable – in the past, the steel forging technology was not advanced enough, and it was difficult to balance strength and flexibility. If a knife was thick and strong, it would often be very brittle. If the knife slashed into the enemy’s helmet, the enemy was stunned, and his own knife was also folded. If it was flexible, it was too easy to bend. In ancient Rome, soldiers used that kind of straight and heavy iron sword to fight against the Persian scimitar. Whenever an enemy was hacked to death, they had to put the sword on the ground and step on it with their feet, which was very troublesome and dangerous. If it was cast into a scimitar, the rigidity could be stronger, and it was not afraid of breaking. Because the blade is convex, the contact surface with the slashed object is small, which is easier to cut than a straight knife. At the same time, due to the bending of the blade body and the center of gravity away from the handle, the inertia increases during slashing, and the lethality will be stronger.

Qi Jiguang has been at war with Japanese pirates for many years and once lamented the terrible lethality of Japanese swords: "Our soldiers are difficult to pick up short weapons, and long weapons are not good, and those who suffer from them have two more cuts." The shape of the knife is not as scientific as the Japanese knife, and the forging method is not as refined as the Japanese. If you take a domestic knife to block a Japanese knife, it will be cut in two by the Japanese knife. Therefore, Qi Jiguang improved the style and forging method of the military knife, making the "Qi family knife" famous all over the world.

In the movie, Shen Lian fought with Ding Baiying, a master under King Xin, and the embroidered spring knife he used at first may have been a domestic knife issued by the unit, which was cut off by Ding Baiying. Later, he returned home and took out an embroidered spring knife left by his father, and when he met Ding Baiying, he was no longer afraid. The knife Shen Lian used later was either Qi Jiguang’s improved Qi Family knife or a high-priced imported Japanese knife. According to Qi Jiguang’s "New Book of Ji Xiao", at that time, the domestic knife was seven or eight hundred yuan, and the Japanese knife was five thousand yuan, which was very expensive.

Third, the flare gun: a firearm invented by the Chinese

Of course, the weapons that appeared in "Embroidered Chun Knife · Shura Battlefield" were not only Embroidered Chun Knife, but also the meteor hammer used by Dongchang Eunuch Zheng and the mace used by Ding Baiying’s male disciple.

Qi Jiguang’s military book and another military book in the late Ming Dynasty, "Military Weapons Illustration", did not mention the mace, probably because this weapon was too heavy, mainly the equipment of Jurchen cavalry, not suitable for Ming Dynasty soldiers who mainly focused on city defense and positional warfare. Qi Jiguang invented a weapon similar to the mace, named "Kuan", which was made of bamboo or steel. In fact, it was a long stick with many half-foot-long spikes on the yaya branch, which was much lighter than the mace, but its lethality was not inferior to the mace.

Eunuch Zheng’s meteor hammer is also not seen in the Ming Dynasty military book, because the radius of this weapon is too large and the direction is unknown, it is easy to accidentally injure comrades. However, the movie added a very good idea to this weapon: many small holes are cut in the meteor hammer, and fuel is placed in it. As long as you blow it lightly, sparks will splash out, which can not only burn the enemy, but also illuminate in the dark night.

We Chinese are no less ingenious than foreigners, and we have had many inventions in weapons since ancient times, such as the invention of gunpowder and the flare gun. The property rights belong to the Chinese. The flare gun was originally invented by the people of the Southern Song Dynasty: fill the bamboo tube with gunpowder, ignite the medicine thread, and spray flame on the enemy.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the flamethrower was improved, and the bamboo tube was replaced by a metal tube, which could be used for a long time, and was named "flamethrower". In the Ming Dynasty, we were lagging behind. Shen Lian was repeatedly attacked by the musket team in "Shura Battlefield". Those muskets that resembled modern rifles were not invented by the Chinese, but were learned from the Portuguese and Japanese.

Qi Jiguang’s "Practical Practice of Soldiers" contains muskets, with a note: "This weapon was not originally available in China, but was passed down from the Japanese pirates. It is different from various firearms. It can be used to cave armor, can hit the shot, and the bow and arrow can not be used." China has long had flaring muskets, but there are no such muskets with triggers and launchers. It was because of fighting against the Japanese pirates that they learned to make muskets.

In the late Ming Dynasty, a famous firearm inventor named Zhao Shizhen appeared. After observing the Portuguese musket and the Japanese shotgun many times, he spent his life developing the Chinese version of the musket, and finally developed the "combined gun", "Xuanyuan gun", "three long guns", "Xunlei gun", "electric switch gun" and other shooting weapons. The shapes of these muskets are roughly the same, all composed of metal barrel, wooden butt, sight and igniter, and they are all prebore guns loaded with lead bullets from the front chamber. Before firing, you need to fill the gunpowder, load the lead bullets, and light the fire rope, and then fire a shot at an interval of about one or two minutes. And because there is no rifling in the gun chamber, the direction of the bullet when it flies out is inaccurate, making it difficult to hit the target accurately.

Loading the front chamber, not rifling, and igniting with a fire rope were common to all muskets in the world at that time. Therefore, until two hundred years after the invention of the musket, the traditional cold weapon still did not withdraw from the stage of history. In the movie, Shen Lian fled on horseback and fought back with a handheld crossbow while running. Dozens of musketeers actually failed to hit him, not because his protagonist’s aura was working, but because the musket was still very backward.

Gao Weiguang plays Donghua Emperor in "Three Lives and Three Worlds Pillow Book"

Donghua Emperor played by Gao Weiguang in "Sansheng Sanshi Pillow Book" is very coquettish and jealous

Gao Weiguang also played Shen Ye in "Three Lives and Three Worlds Pillow Book"

Gao Weiguang photo

　　　　　　　 Recently, Gao Weiguang, who once again starred as Emperor Donghua in the "Sansheng III Pillow Book" series, recently accepted an exclusive interview with Sina Entertainment. In the interview, he complained that the emperor was all kinds of weak, coquettish and jealous in "Sansheng III Pillow Book". "Other heroes are trying to be injured, not to mention, Donghua is injured and crying out for pain, asking for care, attention, and kisses and hugs."

　　"But this side of him is only like this for Bai Fengjiu," Gao Weiguang said, "The emperor has experienced ups and downs and has looked down on everything. Suddenly Feng Jiu appeared, and he felt the heart, and he will be very persistent, very active, and very enthusiastic to fight for this love."

　　He also commented on "Feng Jiu" Di Lizheba’s coquettish skills, saying that Feng Jiu was the cutest when she played the fox in the human form in the play. Gao Weiguang, who reprised the role of Emperor Donghua two years later, admitted that he was very happy, "It can make up for the lack of the first performance, and the accumulation of two years can also give more characters in the performance. Next, I want to play some roles in biographical films. The characters have some great energy, or the emotional side, and I want to try them all."

　　Complaining that Donghua became a humming monster in front of Feng Jiu, please kiss and hug

　　Sina Entertainment: Are there any characteristics of Donghua in the play that you want to have? Are there any performances of him that you want to complain about?

　　Gao Weiguang: I want to have Donghua’s spell, hahahaha (laughs). After complaining about his attraction, Donghua, the male protagonist, has the potential to be a mudslide in the protagonist. Not to mention other heroes who are injured, Donghua is injured and cries out in pain, asking for care, attention, and kisses. Although it is the first time he and Feng Jiu are in love, it is not like he is inexperienced when he teases Feng Jiu, and once he confirms his intention, he is jealous and eats very badly.

　　Sina Entertainment: netizens said that Donghua became squeamish as soon as he fell in love, from the co-owner of heaven and earth to the princess of heaven and earth, all kinds of weak and coquettish love to be jealous, and there are no roundabout tactics when he encounters a rival in love, so he directly wants to make the other party disappear. Do you have anything to say?

　　Gao Weiguang: This is the first time I’ve heard the term "Princess of Heaven and Earth", and it sounds pretty good. I think this kind of relationship is quite interesting and aggressive. For Donghua, he only has this love and this side of Xiaobai, and only with Bai Fengjiu can he be like this.

　　But as the Emperor of Donghua and the co-lord of heaven and earth, he treats both the same sex and the opposite sex equally. He is the one who is always high above, the biggest in the world, and I am used to seeing life and death and seeing the world. It is precisely because he is used to seeing the world, he is used to seeing the love and desires of these people around him, so when Bai Fengjiu’s unique behavior appears in front of him, when his original intention is inspired, he may be very persistent, very active, and very enthusiastic to fight for this love.

　　Sina Entertainment: Donghua Emperor is cold on the surface, but fanatical in the heart. How do you understand the character Donghua Emperor? What designs are there in the performance to highlight Donghua’s indifference on the surface but actually fiery in the heart?

　　Gao Weiguang: As I understand Donghua, he has experienced ups and downs and has looked down on everything. His life has been like a day for hundreds of thousands of years. Suddenly Feng Jiu appeared, which made him feel moved. This change is subtle, so his changes are also little by little, starting with some subtle expressions, expressions, and eyes, and slowly changing to be noticed by others. Correspondingly, it is his emotions, his lines, and the differences in his actions and behaviors towards others other than Feng Jiu to highlight his indifference and contrast.

　　Feng Jiu humanoid is the cutest when playing the fox, and the three characters add up to a complete Dong Hua

　　Sina Entertainment: What do you think of the three characters of Donghua Emperor, Song Xuanren, and Shen Ye in "Pillow Book"? Are they the three sides of Donghua Emperor or do they add up to be a complete display of Donghua Emperor’s character?

　　Gao Weiguang: In fact, these three characters are all aspects of Donghua, to show their different sides of his personality. The three of them add up to a complete Donghua, like Shen Ye’s persistence and madness for love, Song Xuanren’s passion and his innocence for love, plus Donghua’s love for Feng Jiu as before, these add up to a complete character.

　　Sina Entertainment: Evaluate Feng Jiu’s coquettish skills of "Four Seas and Eight Wilderness Little Cute". When do you think Feng Jiu is the cutest in the play?

　　Gao Weiguang: Feng Jiu is the cutest when she plays the fox in the human form in the play. Sometimes in the play, Donghua reaches out and Feng Jiu thinks she is going to touch her face, so she will rub her face over. In fact, Donghua may want to pat her or stroke her hair. Feng Jiu’s reaction is especially cute when she wants to stick it on Donghua’s hand.

　　Sina Entertainment: The emperor has a lot of scenes hugging Xiao Jiu in the play, and netizens say that the emperor is "too difficult". In the bed-the-scene, I saw you exercising on site in order to shoot the scene of hugging Feng Jiu. What preparations did you make for filming "Book on the Pillow"?

　　Gao Weiguang: I have made many preparations. One is about the script. I have been thinking about the script with everyone before and during filming. The other is the shaping of the characters during the performance. In this play, I will play the roles of Donghua, Song Xuanren, and Shen Ye. Some of the characters are given by the script, and some are captured during the performance. Then I will set some details. I will design some details for each character.

　　Play Donghua again to make up for the shortcomings, and want to try a role with energy and feelings

　　Sina Entertainment: Unlike "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles Peach Blossom", "Three Lives Three Worlds Pillow Book" unfolds the emotional drama of Donghua Emperor and Feng Jiu in detail. What is the difference between appearing as Donghua Emperor again two years later? What changes and growth do you think you have made in your performance in the past two years?

　　Gao Weiguang: It is a very happy thing to be able to play Donghua again, because an actor can try the same role again during the performance, which will make up for many things that were not completed in the first performance, so I am very happy to be able to play Donghua again, and I also cherish this role very much.

　　In two years, I think it is a very long process for an actor. Whether it is the accumulation of life or the experience of life, it has been continuously enriched and precipitated, so in the process of shaping characters, it will be more conducive to the display of characters.

　　Sina Entertainment: Now the types of plays are diversifying, such as "Angry Qing Xiangxi", "Miss Aisi Detective Collection", "Born into the Sun", etc. Do you feel that the previous character types and the play are constrained, and have you considered challenging other richer plays?

　　Gao Weiguang: Acting in these plays is really my effort to try different types of things. If I always shoot one type of play, there will be constraints, which I agree with. For the audience, there will be a lack of novelty. If I can try different types of things, then I will have more accumulation in my performances, and I will bring more new things out, more interesting things, and I can also have more and richer content or nutrients for myself and the audience.

　　Sina Entertainment: What types of characters do you want to try?

　　Gao Weiguang: There are actually many types of challenges I want to challenge, but I also want to play a role in some biographical films. It is not necessarily a great person or an influential figure. It may be a small role in life. He has some big energy or a sentimental side, and I want to try it.

Deng Chao, the first person in the entertainment "abstract", has recently become popular on the Internet due to the clips in "Running Man". His eyes are as clear as a college student, and with inexplicable facial movements, he uttered an incomprehensible sentence of "Yabi < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk > < unk >. Even some netizens said that" I am funnier than his comedies ". The origin of Deng Chao’s name is also so funny, his birth is already very" dramatic ". On the variety show, he said that he was born in a divorced and reorganized family, because his parents had children before, and he was the fourth child in the family to belong to "Chaosheng", so he named him Deng Chao. Deng Chao had a lot of interesting things when he was young, and also a lot when he grew up, such as his love affair with Sun Li. The two became attached to each other because of the play, but they were not together when they were filming, so they were not very familiar. Once Sun Li sent him a message at night, "Are you asleep?", and then he began to fantasize about whether he was interested in her. Who would have thought that Sun Li went out and came back to find that the door where he lived was locked, and then saw that the light in his room was still on, so he wanted Deng Chao to do him a favor and call the security uncle to come down and open the door. There were many interesting things between Deng Chao and Sun Li, and they didn’t shy away from showing their love in public. When the two were on the show together, they were asked by the host if they were serious about being in love, and then they answered firmly "yes". You know that the two were popular at the time, and it was very brave to dare to say so. Getting married was also quite interesting. Some people said that it was Deng Chao’s most serious day, but Huo Jianhua, who attended the wedding, may not think so, because the people at the same table as him were all hosts. Huo Jianhua is famous for not being "social phobic", so sitting with the host must be more restless, right? He also talked about this when he was on the show later, saying that since Deng Chao, the first person to "abstract" in internal entertainment, he recently became popular on the Internet due to the clips in "Running Man". His eyes were as clear as a college student, and with inexplicable facial movements, he said an incomprehensible "Yabi embarrassed".

　　　　Danone claims that Zong Qinghou’s wife and daughter gave "perjury"

　　　　In contrast to the aggressive trend of pressing Danone step by step in the domestic judicial process, Wahaha’s litigation in the United States has suffered an unprecedented setback. The reporter learned yesterday that due to the suspicion of perjury by Zong Qinghou’s wife and daughter, the law firm Latham Watkin, which has been "fighting for nearly five months", resigned before the battle, Wahaha had to "change the general before the battle", and last Friday invited the US law firm Quinn Emanuel, which claims that the "winning ratio is as high as 92%".

　　　　The delivery of materials and the recording of statements were not smooth

　　　　In early June this year, Danone filed a lawsuit in the Los Angeles Superior Court of California, suing Hengfeng Trading, Hangzhou Hongsheng, Zong Fuli and Shi Youzhen (Zong Qinghou’s daughter and wife). According to US legal procedures, legal materials are served after filing a lawsuit, and then all parties respond to the lawsuit, investigate and collect evidence, and then go to trial.

　　　　However, in the process of handing over the materials to the defendant, the delivery of Zong Fuli and Shi Youzhen’s materials has been stalled because the "address is uninhabited". It was not until the end of September that the California court visited Shi Youzhen and Zong Fuli’s American home again with a try mentality. Shi Youzhen, who had not been seen for a long time, accidentally appeared in the house, and the court staff completed the delivery of her materials with Zong Fuli.

　　　　In mid-October, the Los Angeles Superior Court issued an order to take evidence in the case, "considering that many of the defendants are in China, the location of the evidence collection was set in Hong Kong," said Chen Dong, a lawyer representing Danone.

　　　　But the process was halted by repeated calls from lawyers on both sides to stop, Mr. Chen said. Wahaha’s lawyers repeatedly called to stop when the statement was taken because they found that the client had false facts and avoided answering questions. They "could not participate in the act of perjury, so they had to call to stop".

　　　　■ "Change of generals before the battle" or due to "perjury"

　　　　After recording the statement, on October 25, the lawyers of both parties returned to the United States to report the situation to the Los Angeles Superior Court. At this court meeting, the law firm of Latham Watkin, which represented Wahaha, suddenly proposed to withdraw from the lawsuit.

　　　　In this regard, the court gave him two weeks to make a final decision, the deadline is November 9. Two weeks later, Latham Watkin officially withdrew from Wahaha and Quinn Emanuel took over.

　　　　Regarding the withdrawal of Latham Watkin, Chen Dong said that it may be mainly due to "professional ethics considerations". Relevant people also gave a speculative explanation that because Latham Watkin had represented a case before, because the parties committed perjury, which eventually led to the court to increase the compensation amount from 60 million US dollars to 600 million US dollars, "eat a cut, grow a wisdom", Latham Watkin will also choose to withdraw.

　　　　However, Mr. Chen said that because of the sudden withdrawal of Latham Watkin, the hearing originally scheduled for January next year may be postponed by a week or two, and "changing the lawyer will not change the existing problems, and the whole process will not change much."

　　　　■ Wahaha responds to "everything speaks with the law"

　　　　Shan Qining, Wahaha’s spokesperson, said he would "not answer" the news of the change of lawyer. The reporter learned that due to Wahaha’s 20th anniversary celebration on November 18, dealers from all over the world have already gathered in Hangzhou, and the company’s management is busy preparing for related celebrations and future sales.

　　　　In fact, although Danone has the upper hand in the US lawsuit, Wahaha does not seem to be worried, not only saying that "everything is in the law", but also emphasizing that Danone has disrupted Wahaha’s normal order under various pretexts because it cannot win the lawsuit.

　　　　The reporter learned that, due to jurisdictional considerations, the prosecution in California may be limited to the defendant’s relevant activities in the United States, and the defendant’s series of activities in China are temporarily excluded. Accordingly, there may be two unfavorable factors for Zong Qinghou: First, Zong Fuli, who used to be the legal representative of Hengfeng Trading, was living in the United States when the company was registered, while Shi Youzhen had a US green card, and the two also owned real estate in California; second, they found the sale of Wahaha series products in Chinese areas in California and other places, and initially identified them as non-joint venture production.

Meituan, which went public in Hong Kong in 2018, is finally going to enter the Hong Kong market after five years of listing.

The First Financial Reporter logged in to Meituan’s relevant website to check and found that users can already fill in the relevant personal information to sign up for Meituan Hong Kong delivery staff. The reporter also noticed that Meituan opened the "Meituan delivery staff" channel on the instant message software Telegram in early February this year, and released the first message on the afternoon of February 20, giving the introduction of Meituan delivery staff and the recruitment registration link.

According to the introduction, Meituan divides the delivery staff into "riders" and "infantry". "Riders" need to be at least 18 years old, have a motorcycle, a valid driver’s license, a driving license and car liability insurance, and need to have safety equipment. "Infantry" can be at least 16 years old. Both require qualifications for life in Hong Kong and communication equipment. As of press time, the channel has more than 2,000 subscribers.

In addition, the first financial reporter checked on the Hong Kong talent recruitment website and found that Meituan has recently posted positions for business development personnel and key account managers related to takeout.

Regarding the entry into the Hong Kong takeaway market, the first financial reporter asked Meituan about this, but Meituan has not responded as of press time.

Hong Kong’s takeaway market is yet to be developed

According to local consumer feedback, Meituan has a lot of room to explore when entering Hong Kong.

A person who works on the main island of Hong Kong Island told First Financial Reporter that the takeaway market in Hong Kong currently mainly includes Deliveroo (household delivery) and Foodpanda two major platforms. Previously, Uber Eats, the Uber takeaway service, did not gain a foothold in the Hong Kong market and finally left the market. Among them, Deliveroo is a British food delivery platform. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the company’s orders in overseas regions fell by 5%, while orders in the UK and Ireland local markets rose. Foodpanda’s parent company is Delivery Hero in Germany. It is reported that it will achieve profitability in 2023. Delivery Hero is considering adjusting some markets, including South East Asia.

She concluded to reporters that the labor cost in Hong Kong is high, so the delivery fee of Hong Kong takeaway is high. In addition, there are pain points such as long delivery time, average user experience of takeaway packaging and distribution services, and insufficient coverage of cooperative merchants.

For example, in some takeaway packaging details, even some good merchants are often poorly packaged, unsealed, and often spilled. In addition, whether it is a large restaurant or a small restaurant, the delivery is slow, and the delivery takes more than 40 minutes. In case of bad weather such as rain, it takes 1-2 hours or even longer. In terms of delivery fees, even if the distance is very close, it costs about 35 yuan. Some restaurants need to spend 200-300 yuan at a time to enjoy free delivery. In addition, users can get certain discounts by buying a takeaway membership every month (about 100 Hong Kong dollars).

In addition to the delivery platform, there are also Hong Kong consumers who have reported to reporters that many restaurants will deliver their own goods. "According to the delivery fee, the delivery fee for the closer distance is about 8 Hong Kong dollars, and the freight for the farther distance ranges from more than 10 Hong Kong dollars to more than 40 Hong Kong dollars. Some restaurants will give free delivery if they hold events." Overall, consumers believe that the current delivery service in Hong Kong is not convenient.

In addition, Hong Kong consumers’ user habits are also different. In an interview with the First Financial Reporter, many Hong Kong consumers said that unlike mainland netizens who have become accustomed to ordering takeout on mobile phones, Hong Kong’s streets are close, restaurants are densely distributed, and it is very convenient for people to eat out. Therefore, the consumption habits and demand of takeout are relatively "mild". Therefore, it seems that the service of the takeaway industry is not advancing so fast, but I believe that the Hong Kong takeout market will be "rolled up" after more competitors enter, and it is expected that there may be a subsidy war. Delivery fees are also expected to decline.

Another consumer told reporters, "Most people like to go to restaurants to eat, fresh and cheap. There are also people who choose takeout. If there is a subsidy or it is cheaper, more people will definitely be willing to use it."

Income up to HK $35,000

From the salary given by Meituan’s official website, Meituan may not worry about finding riders after entering Hong Kong.

The reporter checked the information and saw that Meituan Hong Kong riders’ income is composed of three parts: delivery service fee, group reward (including delivery on time rate, order completion rate, order receiving rate and other indicators) and event reward. To encourage registration, Meituan gave a welcome reward. New deliverymen have "single prize activities" within 14 days after successful registration, and have the opportunity to earn an additional HK $2,500 during this period.

Some people calculate that based on the delivery of about two orders in one hour, assuming that the deliveryman has completed 500 orders and received all the rewards in the month, the maximum income can reach 35,000 Hong Kong dollars. In contrast, according to public data, the median monthly income of employed people in Hong Kong in the second quarter of last year was 20,000 yuan (excluding foreign domestic helpers).?

Judging from the delivery situation of mainland riders, a single rider can deliver more than 900 orders per month. Meituan rider at a site in Tongzhou District, Beijing told the First Financial Reporter that the average daily delivery order volume of riders at the site is about 30 orders, that is, a single rider can reach 900 orders per month. If during the peak period of holidays, the average daily delivery order volume of each delivery staff will reach 40 orders.

However, giving high income also means that the company needs to bear high rider expenses. Coupled with the price war and subsidy war when entering new markets, Meituan is expected to still burn money when entering the Hong Kong market. How much cake can be grabbed from Deliveroo (household delivery) and Foodpanda tests Meituan’s comprehensive operation ability, and Meituan’s performance in the Hong Kong market may also directly affect its Hong Kong investors.

In fact, from the perspective of time, Meituan has been planning to enter the relevant market for a long time. Previously, in the third quarter of 2022 earnings call, Wang Xing responded that Meituan will continue to explore the Chinese mainland market and will also go to other regions. At present, Meituan’s market test in Hong Kong is not large, and there are differences in services between the two places. The team also needs to adjust the existing business model to cope with the new market.

In October last year, Meituan’s official recruitment platform showed that many of the overseas business-related positions under recruitment were marked with Hong Kong in the base column, and the recruitment requirements indicated that "Cantonese and English can be used as working languages are preferred". Most of the business positions belong to the home business group, that is, the business group where the takeaway business is located.

However, from the financial report, Meituan has not yet achieved balance in the distribution part. Taking the third quarter of 2022 financial report as an example, Meituan’s distribution service revenue reached 20.10 billion yuan in the quarter, while the distribution-related costs reached 22.50 billion yuan.

From the perspective of competition, the competition in the takeaway market is intensifying. In February, Douyin said that the takeaway business in cooperation with Ele.me is currently being carried out in some pilot cities. At the same time, Douyin’s "group buying and distribution" project is still being piloted in Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu. Recently, merchants in these three cities have been opened to self-service. In the future, depending on the pilot situation, we will consider gradually expanding the pilot cities; not long ago, the WeChat platform also launched "store delivery" cut-in takeaway service in some cities, which means Meituan will face multi-party competition.
