　　After filming for so many years, Jackie Chan has suffered countless injuries. According to Zhang Lanxin, he went to the hospital on crutches after filming, but his eldest brother went to the hospital in a wheelchair. Jackie Chan admitted that he couldn’t remember how many injuries he had suffered, but he was really helpless, "I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair, and I have also asked myself if I need to work so hard to make movies, but if I don’t work so hard, what can we do to compete with Hollywood? We do have a big gap with them in the stunts of science fiction movies, so we have to make this kind of real kung fu movie, fighting Hollywood with fists and meat. It is this environment that forces me to work hard." Regarding "Zodiac," he said, the play returned to "mediocrity", allowing people to see the previous Jackie Chan movies. "Some flying movies are unreasonable, and action movies have entered a dangerous period. I prefer to be like the original."

Interview with Hu Ge

　　　　　　 "The Most Beautiful Performance" meets Hu Ge again, four years later.

　　In 2015, several major dramas such as "The Pretender", "Langya Bang" and "Good Times" put him in the spotlight. That year, Hu Ge played a boxer in the "Best Performance" short film "Intermission", and went through a month-long fitness preparation for filming.

　　In 2019, the 37-year-old Hu Ge switched to the film industry, starring in the film "The Wild Goose Lake", which was shortlisted for the main competition of this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

　　Many people believe that acting in costume idol dramas in their 20s attracts countless fans; after the age of 35, they become movie actors, and their first films can be shortlisted for Cannes. Hu Ge’s transformation has been very successful.

　　And Hu Ge himself said that whether it succeeds or not remains to be tested by the audience after the release of "The Wild Goose Lake", but at least he has taken that step.

　　This year, he joined the most beautiful performance again. Hu Ge collaborated with director Diao Yinan for the second time to stage the extra part of "The Wild Goose Lake", and one person played the triangle.

　　The short film went through 8 hours of pre-scheduling preparation. According to director Diao Yinan, because it was a one-shot shooting, no mistakes could be made in all aspects. All the staff were nervous, and Hu Ge was the most relaxed one on the set.

　　This kind of ease and comfort is also the feeling Hu Ge gave us. Today, he is open to the transformation of male artists, fan fundraising, film and television winter and other topics, and has also contributed a lot of golden sentences.

　　Chat with Diao Yinan in the background of Double 11 about the script

　　Sina Entertainment: This time, one person plays the triangle. Which role are you most looking forward to?

　　Hu Ge: I treat all the roles I will play and have played equally, with no favorite or least favorite.

　　Sina Entertainment: Did you have any particular urge to act when you saw the script?

　　Hu Ge: Of course, because first of all it still has some relevance to our movie "The Wild Goose Lake". Then two new people were added, which didn’t seem to have much to do with the movie.

　　Sina Entertainment: So the character of the fugitive is Zhou Zenong, right?

　　Hu Ge: Yeah.

　　Sina Entertainment: This time I played a fugitive again, and I worked with director Diao Yinan again. Did it remind you of the filming of "The Wild Goose Lake" at that time?

　　Hu Ge: I don’t have to imagine it. When I got to that scene later, I thought I would go back. Because it was a big night again, we basically had more than 70% to 80% of the scenes were night scenes.

　　Sina Entertainment: How does it feel to work with director Diao Yinan?

　　Hu Ge: He is a very pure artistic film director. Working with him, my biggest feeling is that I can forget everything and let it go. Although I have been working with him for more than half a year, although there has been a lot of suffering and pressure, looking back now, I feel that every minute and every second is very memorable for me.

　　Sina Entertainment: Did you have any discussions and preparations with him in advance about this script?

　　Hu Ge: Yes, we had some discussions on the details of the script characters’ creation in the background of Double 11, including styling. When we set our makeup two days ago, we re-determined the tone of today’s performances of different characters.

　　Sina Entertainment: What’s your understanding of this script?

　　Hu Ge: I think it is equivalent to showing a certain scene in our movie, a condensed version of a bridge, on the most beautiful performance of Sina. Of course, on the basis of the original, some new content has also been filled, expanded and imagined.

　　Sina Entertainment: After reading the script, do you think the biggest challenge is the presentation of long shots?

　　Hu Ge: Indeed, the biggest difficulty for this part of me today lies in the operation of the long-shot technology, including the fact that I have to play three roles on this occasion, which is also very difficult.

　　Sina Entertainment: Have you had such relevant experience before?

　　Hu Ge: No. But there may be more forms of this in stage plays. For example, in stage plays, I play the role one minute, and then I quickly step down and change clothes, and then I come on stage to play another role. It is often seen on stage. But it is very rare in film and television dramas.

　　Sina Entertainment: So in the short film, you also need to change clothes very quickly.

　　Hu Ge: Yes, so when we set makeup, we actually have a lot of early design in technology, how can we go from clothing to makeup to styling in the fastest time?

　　A good actor can go to the sky as well as the earth

　　Sina Entertainment: In fact, this is also the second time that Mr. Hu Ge has participated in our most beautiful performance. The last time was in 2015. Do you remember the situation at that time? What’s new this time?

　　Hu Ge: I understand that the most beautiful performance of Sina is a stage for breakthroughs and challenges. The last role I played was also very far away from me, and for that performance, I also prepared for more than a month. At that time, I had to meet the director’s requirements to play a boxer. In more than a month, I built muscle and increased circumference. Although the time is short, I think whether it is a second or an hour, it should be remembered by the audience.

　　After 4 years, has your understanding of the words most beautiful performance changed?

　　Hu Ge: Last time, I also wrote down my understanding of the most beautiful performance on paper very carefully. This time, of course, I am also very serious. I am not lazy, but I did not write a word. I think it is difficult to define the performance in words, especially the most beautiful performance.

　　Sina Entertainment: So which play or moment brought you this change in thinking?

　　Hu Ge: It may be a feeling brought to me by so many years or so many characters and works. I feel that there is no standard for performance itself, and there is no standard for good or bad.

　　Sina Entertainment: What do you think is your most beautiful performance moment so far?

　　Hu Ge: When I’m not acting in life, I think it should be the most beautiful. You see, I just said that I can’t define it in words, I’ll define it casually now.

　　Sina Entertainment: Looking back on your long experience in the industry, what stages do you think your performance has gone through?

　　Hu Ge: It’s hard for me to summarize myself. Generally speaking, I used to be desperately learning tricks and routines, but now I’m desperately trying to hide these tricks and routines.

　　Sina Entertainment: What do you think is the key to being a good actor?

　　Hu Ge: If you can go to the sky, you can also go to the earth. Just when you are in the sky, don’t forget that you still have two legs. You can still come back and walk. Don’t forget that you have legs when you are in the sky.

　　Fans’ love should not be measured by the amount of funds raised

　　What do you think was the most beautiful moment in "The Wild Goose Lake"?

　　Hu Ge: After the movie is released, I will tell everyone that there are no spoilers, and the mystery must be kept until December 6th.

　　Sina Entertainment: What are your current expectations for this drama?

　　Hu Ge: I hope its performance can be worthy of everyone’s efforts, I mean the performance of the market.

　　Sina Entertainment: But you said some time ago that you don’t need fans to raise funds to support the box office.

　　Hu Ge: You may have some misunderstandings about my last comment. I’m not saying that you can’t buy tickets to support it. In fact, it’s impossible. I agree with everyone buying tickets to watch my movie or booking a group to watch the movie.

　　I don’t always agree with measuring or judging whether he is a senior fan or whether he is an excellent fan by the amount of fan funding. I think this is a completely wrong standard, so I don’t really want to see these things happen. Sina Entertainment: During your growth process, how did the relationship between fans and you change?

　　Hu Ge: I just celebrated the 15th anniversary of the establishment of the official website some time ago, and they have always been my motivation. I know their intentions are for my own good, so I am also very grateful. I used to say that I and my fans are like friends who don’t meet each other, and we have each other in our hearts. But maybe we met on the road, but we don’t know each other. It’s such a relationship.

　　I should play a role in guiding them correctly.

　　Sina Entertainment: In fact, it has become an industry phenomenon for fans to raise funds to support movies or buy endorsements. Do you think this way of fans helping idols help their careers is advisable?

　　Hu Ge: I am not qualified to comment on the fans of other artists. Everyone’s intentions are good, and they are all for the better development of their favorite artists in their careers. But at the level of execution and operation, everyone may have different ideas. According to my understanding and standards, I don’t want my fans to do such things.

　　I found the motivation to continue in the movie

　　Sina Entertainment: In the past two years, you have also participated in the shooting of some films and cooperated with some excellent directors. What do you think is your greatest achievement in these two years?

　　Hu Ge: Let me find the motivation to continue acting and the courage to return to life completely. In fact, what I think I am most afraid of is a state of being unable to rise. It is like a fallen leaf that is red, but it also falls. It floats in the wind, but it has no vitality.

　　Sina Entertainment: What does this mean? Does it mean that actors must transition at the age of 30 and 35?

　　Hu Ge: I mean creativity and artistic vitality. For example, if a leaf is red, it will fall off. For most people, they will be afraid and anxious. They always don’t want it to fall off, but you have to think about it falling and withering, it will rot in the soil again, and it can have new life.

　　Sina Entertainment: When did you lose your creative drive?

　　Hu Ge: There are often such things. Not just after the age of 30 or 35, but actually when I was in my 20s, I was thinking about this issue. Because once you are characterized as a certain type of actor, or when you are imprisoned in a certain type of film and television work, it is difficult to get out of this situation.

　　Sina Entertainment: Do you think your current transformation has been successful?

　　Hu Ge: At least I made it out. It can’t be said to be unsuccessful. It still needs to be tested by the audience and the market, but at least I made it out.

　　Sina Entertainment: Everyone knows that acting is a relatively passive chosen profession, so is it difficult to take this step? Hu Ge: Your mileage may vary, sometimes it is forced, sometimes it is active.

　　Sina Entertainment: Many people think that male actors between the ages of 30 and 35 have to transform. Do you think transformation is necessary?

　　Hu Ge: Not necessarily. Because if you can be an idol for a lifetime and have traffic and popularity for a lifetime, that is also a benefit. The key is how you see yourself.

　　If I become an idol for a lifetime, I will only enjoy the halo of an idol, maybe not myself; but if you become an idol for a lifetime, you can continuously bring positive energy to those who like you, which is a good thing.

　　Of course, some people prefer to immerse themselves in performance, and he prefers to be accomplished in art or creation, which is another way.

　　But I don’t think there is a comparison, because it’s probably easier to take the first path before you’re 30. And after the age of 30, the first path may become more and more accurate.

　　Sina Entertainment: As an actor, have you ever experienced the so-called midlife crisis?

　　Hu Ge: Not yet. Because now I feel that I may not have really reached the stage of middle age. Of course, when I choose roles, I will deliberately avoid some roles such as my father. Maybe after I reach a certain age, only characters like my father will come to me, and when no other young characters come to me, I may have a crisis because I have no life experience. I have not become a father in my own life, so it may be a difficult thing for me to play a father, or to have a family in the play.

　　Sina Entertainment: Now is the industry’s film and television winter, and many good actors will not be able to receive plays for a long time, including fewer and fewer better projects on the market. As a member of the industry, do you have any personal experience?

　　Hu Ge: When winter comes, there are still many things to do. I think if filming is not to solve the problem of food and clothing, it doesn’t mean that if I don’t film, I will have no food to eat, and I will not be able to pay the rent. If there are no worries and concerns in this regard, I think when the cold winter comes, it is also a good time to maintain health, right?

　　We can take the opportunity to let the original impulsive heart settle down. You can use this time to absorb and learn something new.

　　Sina Entertainment: But some people may worry that if they don’t come out to film for a long time, they will be forgotten by the industry and the market.

　　Hu Ge: Back to the topic just mentioned, which path do you choose? If you prefer the first path, there is indeed such a cruel reality. If you don’t appear in front of the public for a long time, your traffic popularity may drop significantly. But if you choose the second path, I don’t think it will have much impact.

　　Geely Automobile Group recently released the "Smart Geely 2025" strategy and the "Nine Dragon Bay Action" to fully promote the "Smart Geely 2025". Gan Jiayue, CEO of Geely Automobile Group, said that a number of new measures will promote electrification and intelligence through technological progress, create a smart travel experience that exceeds expectations for users, and create sustainable win-win value for partners.

　　From "Blue Geely" to "Smart Geely"

　　Full stack self-research to build core competitiveness

　　Geely’s new strategy places the development of smart cars in a prominent position, and regards cars as an important carrier of the Internet of Everything to meet users’ future intelligent and networked demands and create the ultimate driving experience.

　　Gan Jiayue announced at the new strategy conference that Geely will rely on the advantages of globalization system and resource coordination to build a "one network three systems" to promote the efficient implementation of the "Intelligent Geely 2025" strategy, and achieve the strategic mission and goal of "creating an intelligent travel experience that exceeds users’ expectations, building a technology-led global automobile enterprise, and becoming the most competitive and respected Chinese automobile brand".

　　According to the introduction, "One Network" is the "Intelligent Geely Technology Ecological Network". It is a "new infrastructure" based on intelligent architecture, building an end-to-end self-research system and ecological alliance around chips, software operating systems, data and satellite networks, driving users’ experience in intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit. As the only auto company in the world with satellite communication and positioning, high-precision mapping and navigation, and full-stack self-research from automotive chips to hardware and software, Geely will build the core competitiveness of future smart cars based on intelligent architecture, intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit.

　　"To form the Internet of Everything, the car is a very important mobile end point and carrier. We have long thought that the future car must be intelligent, so our future action strategy and intelligence must always be considered. Smart cars are the hard core to meet the ultimate travel experience of users."

　　Referring to the two blue Geely action plans released by Geely at the beginning of this year and the release of this strategy, both point to intelligence, Gan Jiayue said: "The first blue action plan is to focus on intelligent energy-saving and new energy vehicles, and the second is to focus on intelligent high-end pure electric vehicles. Therefore, the nine major actions announced today focus on the development of intelligence as the primary goal."

　　In order to ensure the full implementation of the "Smart Geely 2025" strategy, "Nine Dragon Bay Action", one of the actions proposed to realize the full-stack self-research of autonomous driving and accelerate the vision of "zero accidents and zero casualties" in intelligent travel. Relying on the smart Geely technology ecosystem, Geely wants to realize the full-stack self-research in core technology fields such as intelligent energy, autonomous driving, intelligent networking, and intelligent cockpit, and to create "the best, safest, and most responsible" autonomous car, so as to achieve "delivery is safe". By 2025, achieve the commercialization of L4-level autonomous driving, and fully master L5-level autonomous driving.

　　From "Domain Control" to "Super Brain"

　　Open and Win-Win Iterative Modular Architecture

　　In the trend of software accounting for an increasing proportion of automotive applications, Geely, which has significant advantages in vehicle manufacturing technology, will also form partnerships with an open mind to create a win-win space in the industry while efficiently providing users with excellent and iterative services.

　　"Geely will continue to open up in the future. From years of experience, I think the whole industry wastes a lot of resources. In the past, every new car had to be developed for five to seven years, and an architecture had to be developed. If the standards are the best, just like Apple’s ecology, the underlying architecture is done well, and everyone can develop on this underlying architecture, and then differentiate the upper-layer applications," said Mr. Gan. "It is based on this logic that Geely has spent a lot of money to build a modular architecture and open it up to the outside world. Unlike previous architectures, this modular architecture can be further iterated."

　　It is reported that intelligent architecture, as a new infrastructure project of science and technology, is the foundation of the science and technology ecological network. Geely’s BMA, CMA, SPA and SEA have four world-class intelligent architectures, which are not only fully compatible with diversified energy sources, but also have leading modular advantages. In the face of global differentiated standards and user requests, it can improve R & D efficiency by 30%. At the same time, Geely empowers world-class intelligent architectures with GEEA 2.0 electronic and electrical architecture, so that Geely’s current intelligent architecture not only has the advantages of comprehensive compatibility with diversified energy sources, leading modular advantages, and high R & D efficiency, but also has smart "brains" and high-speed and developed "neural networks". Geely’s new smart cars built with intelligent architecture will be equipped with GEEA 2.0 electronic and electrical architecture. In the future, Geely’s intelligent architecture will also evolve to the GEEA 3.0 central computing platform architecture, leading the evolution of smart cars from "domain control" to "central super brain".

　　It is worth mentioning that Geely Automobile Group recently released the global power technology brand – Raytheon Power and the world-class modular intelligent hybrid platform – Raytheon Zhiqing Hi · X, which can provide leading efficient and intelligent power solutions. According to Geely, as a world-class modular intelligent hybrid platform, Raytheon Zhiqing Hi · X has a global high-end power platform, an expansive hardware space design, an expansive electrified drive platform, and an evolutionary power platform. Five platform advantages such as power, economy, and intelligent leadership are presented on all major platforms. At the same time, it also has six ceiling technologies in the hybrid industry, which is superior to Japanese hybrid in core technology.

　　Relying on open technical cooperation, another action released by Geely is clear: launch more than 25 new intelligent new energy products within 5 years, leading the era of intelligent mobile end point. According to reports, Geely brand will launch more than 10 new products one after another, the main car series is fully intelligent and new energy, and launch long-range series-parallel, extended-range, direct-drive, and electric-driven Raytheon Super Hybrid. PHEV pure electric battery life can exceed 200 kilometers. Geometry brand will launch more than 5 star products newly built by pure electric architecture (including vast architecture) from 2022, covering the mainstream pure electric market. Lynk & Co brand will launch more than 5 new intelligent technology products one after another to continuously improve the market layout. In 2023, the first electric SUV product will be launched in Europe first, realizing the globalization and high-end of smart new energy products. The new technology new energy for electric travel brand will launch five smart pure electric products based on the exclusive architecture platform, providing users with efficient and intelligent travel services, and becoming a new force in the electric travel technology ecosystem.

　　In addition, Geely is committed to building an "end-to-end" vehicle software user experience, building a full-stack self-research system covering electronic and electrical architecture, vehicle basic software, intelligent cockpit software and autonomous driving software, and establishing a smart car software and hardware system. At the same time, Geely applies the SOA software service structure, opens more than 1,000 API interfaces, provides software tools and platforms to global developers, and creates active scenario services with more than 1,000 digital partners around the world. By 2025, Geely will achieve at least 1 to 2 OTA upgrades for the whole vehicle every quarter, so that smart cars can evolve from "manufacturer definition" to "user software co-creation", and fully enter the era of software-defined vehicles.

　　From "migrant worker" to "partner"

　　"Talent Forest" Supports Performance Imagination

　　Behind the technological innovation, Geely has a solid talent pool strategy and provides endless imagination for future performance.

　　Gan Jiayue makes it clear that Geely’s core competitiveness is talent. "The biggest asset of an enterprise is not how much cash it has, nor how much fixed assets it has. Those data are on-balance sheet assets, which will be reflected in financial statements. The biggest asset of an enterprise is off-balance sheet assets, and the most important off-balance sheet assets are talents, and off-balance sheet assets determine on-balance sheet assets. Because everything is created by talent, the core competitiveness is talent. This is a soil that mobilizes all the initiative of Geely Auto people, and this energy will be amazing." At the same time, Gan Jiayue also believes that everyone has the potential to become a talent, and how to unleash the potential of people is Geely’s core competitiveness.

　　According to the action goal released by Geely, 350 million shares will be allocated, and the first batch of shares has inspired 10,000 employees. According to reports, this is the "largest" employee Equity Incentive Plan in China’s automotive history, and it is also an important signal for Geely to embrace change and transform into a technology-based enterprise, so that more core employees can become "partners" from "migrant workers". Geely also has a unique "talent forest" system. So far, Geely has established 9 vocational and higher education institutions, cultivating more than 150,000 talents. The perfect talent training system and development channel have enabled the emergence of endogenous talents in the enterprise.

　　In addition, Geely also said that it will continue to maintain the first investment in R & D of Chinese auto brands. Within 5 years, it will invest 150 billion yuan in R & D. Relying on Geely’s global "5 R & D + 5 modeling centers" to build a leading international R & D system and fully transform into the intelligent era. By 2025, Geely strives to achieve the highest proportion of software talents and the highest efficiency in software development in the automotive industry. Geely will also deepen research in the field of basic science, build 10 world-class key laboratories, accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and continue to maintain Geely’s core technology leadership.

　　To achieve value creation through technology leadership, Geely’s performance target is to achieve EBIT (pre-interest and tax profit) of more than 8% in 2025. Geely will increase the scale effect through "comprehensive architecture car building", reduce the cost of model research and development and supply chain, and increase the R & D efficiency by 30%. At the same time, it will achieve full-link digital intelligent manufacturing, global technology output, maximize cost reduction and efficiency, and strive to achieve the goal of tripling the sales volume, ranking first in China in market share, and increasing the average revenue of bicycles by 30% by 2025.
