2022 has come to an end, and the automakers’ annual rhetoric has also reached the moment of verification. As the saying goes, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, only by saying goodbye to the old can we live up to the new.

Tan Qing said that the AI team specially planned the annual inventory topic, and looked back at the car companies that had not completed the annual sales target KPI, hoping to be able to face shame and then move forward bravely in the new year.

In today’s issue, let’s talk about Lantu Automobile. In early 2022, Lantu Automobile CEO Lu Fang put forward the annual work goal at the company’s annual work meeting: annual sales of 46,000 vehicles and annual production of 48,000 vehicles. But on July 8, the company adjusted the annual sales target to: annual sales must reach 31,000 vehicles, challenging 37,000 vehicles.

Now that 2022 is coming to an end, Landmap only completed 17,700 sales in the first 11 months, with a completion rate of 56.94%. According to this trend, it is almost impossible to complete KPIs.

At the beginning of the Lantu project,Zhu Yanfeng, chairperson of the group, once said: "You have to run at the beginning, and you have to sprint at the beginning." Standing today from the perspective of Lantu’s sales, Lantu’s sales did not run, even if it started the sprint mode.

In the first half of 2022, Lantu’s monthly sales have been hovering around 1,000 units. In order to boost sales, Lantu Automobile held a cadre meeting in July 2022 and announced the largest senior personnel adjustment since its establishment.

It is reported that this job change involves a number of executives, including the top manager, Lu Fang, who will no longer serve as the chief technology officer (CTO) of Lantu Automotive and will be replaced by Wang Junjun, but Lu Fang will still serve as the CEO of Lantu.

At the personnel adjustment meeting of Lantu, Zhu Yanfeng, chairperson and party secretary of Dongfeng Company, and You Zheng, a member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of Dongfeng Company, deputy general manager and chairperson of Lantu Automobile, both made speeches and stated that they would go all out to achieve the annual business goals and achieve a rapid increase in sales.

It is not difficult to see that the long-term sluggish sales of Lantu have aroused the concern of Dongfeng executives. In fact, at the beginning of this year, Lantu set a sales target of 46,000 vehicles for the whole year, and only less than 15% were completed in the first half of the year.

In May, Lantu once again held a "100 million vehicles" mobilization meeting, clearly requiring that in the next 100 days, the sales target of 10,000 vehicles should be fought. But before the 100 days, at the mid-year work meeting in early July, Lantu lowered the annual sales target to 31,000 vehicles.

Even so, for Lantu, which only completed 17,700 vehicles in the first 11 months, only 56.94% of the target of 31,000 vehicles was completed. According to this tepid market performance, if Lantu wants to complete the target after the target adjustment, it is almost impossible to sell 13,300 vehicles in the last month.

After some personnel adjustments in July, from the month-on-month sales data, Lantu’s sales seem to have improved slightly. From July to October, monthly sales were 1793, 2429, 2519 and 2553 respectively.

Unfortunately, by November, the stamina for personnel adjustments seemed to have run out, and monthly sales fell again to 1,508 units, even lower than the 1,553 units in January.

It should be noted that during the period from July to October, there were still some "moisture" factors in the sales of Lantu. On July 16, Lantu Dreamer officially launched the delivery of the first batch of car owners. On the day of delivery, 97 central enterprises, state-owned enterprises, and major customers purchased and signed 6,000 Lantu Dreamers.

If the priority delivery is these large customers, during the July-November period, the 6,000 orders signed at that time are almost complete. In other words, B-end orders have contributed significantly to the increase in monthly sales in recent months.

However, automakers cannot survive in the long term by relying on the B-end market. Once this part of the market is saturated, it will have a huge impact on enterprises. BAIC New Energy is a precedent.

November’s sales have been falling at a rate visible to the naked eye. In the days to come, can Lantu still find the next batch of revered B-end customers?

The loneliness of the first two cars may be hopeless, but it cannot stop the new car released by Lantu. On the evening of December 15, Lantu Chasing Light officially debuted, priced between 30-400,000 yuan, intending to impact the high-end car market.

The release of the car chasing light means that starting from the launch of the first model, Lantu FREE, in June 2021, Lantu Auto has deployed three models in a year and a half, spanning the fields of SUVs, MPVs, and sedans.

Optimistically speaking, the product layout of Lantu is relatively complete. But compared with Li Auto, the latter has only sold the ideal ONE car for so long. So from another perspective, it may be helpless for Lantu to frequently layout new models in a short period of time.

Overall, looking at the performance in 2022, Lantu’s big moves can be described as one after another, but the sales volume has never been improved.

Poor sales directly affect Lantu’s profits. In 2021, Lantu Auto’s operating income was 1.77 billion yuan, and the annual net loss was 700 million yuan. In the first half of this year, Lantu Auto’s net loss reached 740 million yuan, and the cumulative loss in the past year and a half exceeded 1.40 billion yuan.

According to the sales volume and net loss in the first half of this year, the average net loss of each sold car is 130,000 yuan. It can be seen that Landscape urgently needs to rely on large sales to amortize the huge investment costs in the previous period, but this does not seem to be easy.

Although Lantu has a dream to benchmark BBA, in reality, Lantu is actually a fledgling waist brand. According to Tianyancha, Lantu Automobile was established in 2018. Even though it is backed by Dongfeng Motor Group, compared with the century-old BBA, there is still a big gap in cultural heritage and market foundation.

For consumers, if they want to persuade them to buy a luxury car, it is not enough to have product strength alone, but also the core selling points that can support the brand’s high-end image.

In terms of creating a sense of luxury, Lantu FREE is equipped with the world’s first one-piece liftable triple screen, as well as welcome modes VOYAH Moment, VOYAH Attention, and VOYAH Care to create a sense of exclusive atmosphere. This direction is indeed correct.

However, in terms of hardware configuration, Landscape used the backward NXP i. MX8 chip, which caused the fluency of the car and the software optimization ability to keep up in time, which attracted many car owners to complain. To remedy this, Landscape released a service package to upgrade the 8155 cockpit chip in May this year, which cost the owner 12,999 yuan to upgrade.

In contrast, Extreme Krypton, which is also a luxury new power brand, happily announced that it would upgrade the cockpit chip to Qualcomm 8155 for free after a similar car card appeared. This quickly reversed Extreme Krypton’s reputation and gradually increased its sales.

Therefore, Landscape has spent a lot of effort to create a sense of respect, but due to improper handling of the car and machine card problem, it has left a bad reputation.

On the surface, it seemed innocuous, but a glimpse of the whole leopard showed that the team of Lantu did not pay enough attention to the sense of technology, and seemed to follow the crowd to make some eye-catching flower work.

Little do they know that in the context of the intelligent era, creating a sense of technology is a shortcut for new power brands to improve high-end brand perception, and it is also a product highlight that is easier to shine. If there is a mistake in this part, how can we compete with BBA, which has a deep foundation in the brand, for the market?

In addition to the sense of technology, in terms of battery safety, Lantu also wants to come up with convincing self-developed technology. But under the test of ruthless high temperature, it is too difficult to make battery safety a product highlight.

In June this year, there was a video on the Internet showing that a Landmap FREE caught fire near the charging pile. In the hot summer weather, it is the season when the battery spontaneous combustion is high, and it is not a big deal.

But bad is bad. Before that, Lantu had always emphasized "battery safety" in its brand promotion. There have been many car review articles that have hyped Lantu’s battery safety, and many headlines have shown full confidence in battery safety technology.

For example, "Why did Xiaopeng, Tesla and other trams spontaneously ignite, but Lantu FREE did’no smoke or fire ‘", "New energy vehicles spontaneously ignited one after another, and Lantu finally cracked the battery security password and refreshed the industry record". These articles seem to tell users that other battery safety is almost meaningless, and only Lantu’s technology in battery safety is impeccable.

After the spontaneous combustion accident, the Lantu official said, "There was no loss of personnel or surrounding property, and we are actively investigating the cause of the accident together with the supplier." However, the specific cause of the spontaneous combustion has not been searched online for the official explanation of the Lantu official.

In fact, as early as when the Lantu brand released its proud mica and amber batteries, not catching fire was the advantage advertised by the manufacturer. But interestingly, after this spontaneous combustion accident, Lantu’s "non-burning golden body" has been broken. According to incomplete statistics, in terms of publicity, Lantu’s dissemination of battery safety technology does not seem to be as high as before.

Perhaps Lantu’s battery safety technology still needs to be strengthened, and before it is truly safe, battery safety is not enough to be a plus for Lantu’s product strength.

In general, for new luxury car brands, if they want to compete with first-tier brands in the market, they need to come up with their own core selling points and have their own differentiated competitiveness that is enough to impress users. Lantu is indeed working in this direction, but from the perspective of making up for the car’s machine card and battery safety, the degree of effort is not enough.

LANTU FREE has been benchmarking Ideal ONE since its inception. Both players on the extended range track have very different fates. Ideal relies on Ideal ONE to carry the banner of a brand, but LANTU FREE gradually disappears from everyone.

In fact, the range extension technology was not complicated. Lantu was backed by Dongfeng, a big tree, and never lacked the funds and resources needed to build a car. But why couldn’t Lantu learn the ideal ONE?

In the opinion of AI, compared with the ideal ONE, the biggest problem of Lantu is that the product positioning is not clear enough.

The positioning of Ideal ONE is quite accurate. In terms of market segmentation, Li Auto divides consumers in the Chinese auto market into family users and non-family users. With internal discussions and iterations, the final consensus is that for Li Auto, the concept of "family user" refers to family users with (one or more) children aged 0-14 at home.

Looking at Landmap again, when talking about the difference between the user population and Li Auto, Lei Xin, the former chief brand officer of Landmap, once said, "The target audience of Landmap FREE is a new backbone who is steady and enterprising, exploring and trying new things. Steady and enterprising, steady progress, not radical, not conservative." In the opinion of Zhu Yanfeng, chairperson of Dongfeng Company, Landmap’s target audience is a "new backbone" force with a good educational background. They respect dignity and friendship, pursue freedom and freedom, and hope to have a tasteful car life.

Therefore, from the perspective of product positioning, Ideal ONE has accurately considered the user’s family members compared to Landscape FREE, while the latter only knows that its users are "new backbone" groups without clear portraits.

If a model cannot establish a clear and perceptible product image in the minds of consumers, the decision-making cycle of consumers will be lengthened, and after a period of hesitation, other competing products may be selected. Therefore, Lantu’s claim to build a "user-oriented technology enterprise" is only a "self-moving" speech, not a closed loop.

One consequence of inaccurate positioning is not knowing where to spend the cost.

Ideal ONE can be recognized by the market because it captures the real demand of home users for cars: six-seat large space. At this time, there can be trade-offs in the resources invested in car building, such as ideal engines, motors, car systems, chips, etc. from suppliers.

When the policy determines that the pure electric battery life can enjoy subsidies above 50km, the pure electric battery life is 51km of the pressure line. By subtraction, the ideal not only meets the user request, but also reduces the cost.

In terms of displacement and structure, the Landscape FREE is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine (the ideal ONE is 1.2T three-cylinder). In terms of rated power generation, the Landscape FREE 60Kw is also higher than the ideal ONE of 45Kw; even in terms of ride comfort and NVH, the Landscape FREE is also better than the ideal ONE. On the contrary, on chips that should not save money, Landscape is slightly stingy when upgrading chips.

But unfortunately, users are not looking at parameters. In terms of parameters that are difficult for users to perceive, Lantu FREE seems to have given a lot of sincerity. In fact, it is doing useless work in places that users don’t care about at all, and it also eats part of the profit.

The root cause of entering such a misunderstanding is that the market positioning of the product is not clear enough, and the actual needs of the so-called "new backbone" group cannot be discerned.

Perhaps it was because Lan Tu was unable to differentiate its competitive advantage, so when it was disseminated to the outside world, Lan Tu had to emphasize its "national team" attribute.

"Lantu is positioned as a high-end new energy vehicle brand in the national team," said Liu Zhanshu, deputy general manager of Lantu Automotive Sales and Service Co., Ltd. "Our direct competitor is the BBA after full electrification."

At this year’s Chengdu auto show, Lantu launched the "official revision" of Lantu’s FREE DNA. According to Liu Zhanshu, "Tai Chi Black and Tai Chi White are two colors derived from the traditional Chinese Tai Chi culture, which can show the layered sense of Chinese ink and wash, creating a unique Chinese color."

In fact, for a waist brand, if the car has not sold much, but often endorses the product in the name of China and the country, I am afraid it will only give people a sense of "A Dou who can’t be helped".

China Net Automobile, August 16th (reporter, Wang Yidong) The problem of abnormal vehicle noises that are often ignored does not seem serious, but if it occurs frequently for a long time, it will not only cause trouble to the owner of the car and the passengers in the car, but also pose a dangerous hazard to the safety of the vehicle. Recently, China Net Automobile Complaint Platform received a complaint from a Dongfeng Peugeot owner that his 2022 508L had multiple abnormal noises shortly after buying it, and what made the owner unbearable was that "the maintenance staff of the 4S shop asked me to endure…". As of press time, the owner reported that the problem of the vehicle had not been properly resolved.

The new car has many creaking noises. The 4S store said that the more it is dismantled, the more abnormal noises it makes.

The reporter immediately contacted the owner of the complaint. According to the owner, Mr. Xing, his car (2022 508L 400THP PureTech driving version) was just purchased in June this year. In less than a month, the vehicle appeared "squeaky" abnormal noise during driving, including the central control, B pillar, sunroof and many other places. There are different degrees of abnormal noise problems, and the front and rear radars are also slow to respond. After inspection by the maintenance staff of the 4S shop, it was called "normal phenomenon".

After repeated communication with the owner and repeated inspections by the 4S shop, "they removed the B pillar, but there was no problem." The owner complained that "now the bumpy road section, the B pillar is still creaking," which made Mr. Xing unbearable.

Regarding the abnormal sound of the central control, the owner told the reporter: "If the 4S shop (maintenance staff) said that the central control is disassembled for inspection, the more abnormal sounds may be, and they do not recommend disassembling it." To this explanation, Mr. Xing said he could not accept it: "The new car has only been driven for more than 2,000 kilometers, and this kind of problem occurs. I hope Peugeot can help me solve the vehicle failure as soon as possible."

According to the reporter’s investigation, the problem of abnormal noise of the car is also common on other complaint platforms, involving abnormal steering noise, abnormal noise of the central control, abnormal noise of the chassis, etc. In response to the complaint, the reporter also contacted Dongfeng Peugeot, and the other party said that the owner would be contacted as soon as possible to solve the vehicle problem.

Dongfeng Peugeot’s brand reputation is declining day by day

When it comes to Dongfeng Peugeot, I have to mention Shenlong Automobile. It can be seen that in the past two years, Shenlong Automobile has indeed made a lot of efforts to return to the track, including accelerating the launch of new products, including Citroen 2021 Tianyi, Citroen Versailles C5X, and the new Peugeot 4008 and 2022 508L models are all regarded as "turning over".

According to the latest sales volume released by Shenlong Automobile, in July this year, the company delivered 10,636 vehicles, achieving 20 consecutive months of positive year-on-year growth. From January to July this year, the cumulative sales volume was 66395 vehicles, an increase of 39% year-on-year. From the data point of view, it is undeniable that Shenlong Automobile does show signs of recovery, but the monthly sales volume of about 10,000 vehicles is still different from its high-light era. It is understood that Shenlong Automobile’s annual sales target for this year is set at 150,000 vehicles, and it has achieved break-even. As of July, the cumulative sales volume of 66395 vehicles has completed 44.2% of the target sales volume.

Specific to the models of Dongfeng Peugeot, the data shows that, except for the three models of Peugeot 4008, 408, and 2008, the monthly sales of other models are only maintained at more than 100 vehicles.

And for the new energy field that major automakers have laid out, Dongfeng Peugeot has not achieved any success. The only new energy models on sale are the Peugeot 4008 PHEV and the Peugeot 508L PHEV. However, according to third-party sales statistics, the sales of the two vehicles in June were only more than ten vehicles.

There are many reasons for the poor market performance and poor sales. Poor quality control or one of the main factors of Dongfeng Peugeot. According to the statistics of the reporter, the quality problem of Dongfeng Peugeot has a long history. As early as 2016, the owners of its 408 models complained that the vehicles had serious oil burning problems. Subsequently, the problem occurred in many models including 308 and 4008, and it has not been solved for a long time. In 2019, the number of complaints about this problem reached its peak. In the face of more than 1,000 complaints, the resolution rate was quite low.

It was not until 2020 that Dongfeng Peugeot initiated a recall due to the defect of the timing belt. It recalled nearly 90,000 models equipped with 1.2T engines, involving Dongfeng Peugeot 2008, 308S, New 308, New 408 and other models. The reason for the recall is that the 1.2T engine wet oil-immersed timing belt is assembled. During use, due to chemical erosion of oil, additives, cleaning agents, etc. used in the vehicle, the material properties are degraded, causing the fabric on the surface of the timing belt to be damaged and fall off, which will clog the lubricating oil filter device, causing the oil pressure to decrease and the engine failure light to light up.

However, this behavior has also attracted doubts from owners, who believe that Dongfeng Peugeot knows that the engine is defective but takes an evasive attitude, does not take the recall as soon as possible, allowing the hidden danger of failure to continue to expand, putting consumers’ lives at risk, and confessed to Dongfeng Peugeot brand completely disappointed. What is even more unacceptable is that many owners later reported to reporters that the engine still had a serious oil burning problem after replacing the belt. In this regard, the reporter has also done a series of related reports before. (Event review: http://auto.china.com.cn/news/20200312/703570.shtml)

In fact, the quality problems of Dongfeng Peugeot’s models are not only that, but also the collective complaints of owners of the early Peugeot 408 due to abnormal transmission noise have attracted much attention. Now, the abnormal noise of the Peugeot 508L model has been criticized by owners again.

As mentioned above, although we can see that Shenlong Automobile is working hard to change, in the face of the rapidly changing domestic auto market, it is difficult to rebound and return to the track. For Dongfeng Peugeot, the weakening product power and the gradually disappearing user reputation are restricting the development of Dongfeng Peugeot.

Luo Ming, general manager of Dongfeng Peugeot’s brand department, said at this year’s dealer conference that in 2022, Dongfeng Peugeot will accelerate the transformation while maintaining the brand upward, stand firm, really open the development channel, and reshape the brand perception. At present, Dongfeng Peugeot’s new 408 has been pre-sold. Although the new car has undergone great changes in appearance design and interior layout, there has not been much improvement in power and body size. For the competitive advantage of the new car and future market performance, we maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

After all, his situation is different from some other artists. He has not been officially named and accused, nor has he been severely punished. Therefore, as long as he can continue to maintain his position in the idol circle and grasp the hearts of fans, he may still be able to "make a comeback" in the entertainment industry in the future.

The news of Qixi Festival’s comeback also seems to convey a kind of happy news, telling fans that "my husband is back". For fans, it is undoubtedly an excitement and excitement to see their idol return to the stage. Moreover, the timing of Cai Xukun’s comeback also coincides with the blue typhoon wave, which seems to conform to the emotions of some netizens.

It can be seen from this incident that the "comeback" of artists is not an overnight decision, and needs to be balanced in many aspects such as business, image and fan emotion. In any case, the future development of Cai Xukun and other artists is worth looking forward to. I just hope they can stick to their original aspirations and become better versions of themselves

On November 16, the BJ60 off-line ceremony opened in the cloud live broadcast at the BAIC off-road vehicle manufacturing base. As the BJ60 slowly drove out of the production line, the curtain of the end point of the new car’s off-line delivery also opened simultaneously. At the same time, a series of blockbuster information such as new car orders, IPO time, and behind-the-scenes stories of product birth were also released.

Chen Wei, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairperson of BAIC, Executive Director and General Manager of BAIC SUV Co., Ltd., attended the offline ceremony and delivered a speech. He believes that the offline ceremony of BJ60 is also a "hand-in" moment, and BJ60 has handed in three high-scoring answer sheets. At the meeting, Wang Zhang, Chief Scientist of BAIC Group, Chief Technical Officer of BAIC Research Institute, and Chief PM of BJ60 Project, gave a detailed interpretation of the story of the birth of BJ60.

It’s not a good idea.83 days of orders breaking 10,000

BJ60 started pre-sale from the Chengdu Auto Show, and a total of over 10,000 orders were received in 83 days. With the design sketches exposed on the whole network in March; in April, the BJ60 "pixel style" camouflage car was airborne in Chengdu, and the "chocolate invitation letter" of the "Home Play Conference" was mysteriously exposed, and the technical information of the "building block platform" was implied; in June, Beijing Off-Road released a new building block technology platform, a new 3.0 styling language and the BJ60 co-creator plan, and the BJ60 was officially unveiled; in July, the Chengdu Auto Show announced the pre-sale price and multiple pre-sale welfare policies of the BJ60 from 239,800.

It’s not a good idea.BJ60 sees quality with ingenuity

From "0" to "1": From product planning, development, testing to production and manufacturing, BJ60 has always adhered to the "home play" positioning direction, starting with the user and ending with the user.

In terms of durability test, BJ60 raised the standard to "five high" test, adding high humidity and high salt corrosion to ensure the global passability and adaptability of complex environments. Based on the basic verification system of Beijing off-road 3 million kilometers, BJ60 completed the durability test under extreme environments such as -41 ° C high cold, 80 ° C high temperature, high altitude above 5000 meters, nearly 100% humidity hot flashes, and salt spray corrosion exceeding 72 microns/year.

In addition, the BAIC off-road manufacturing base where the BJ60 is located has reached the domestic advanced level of intelligence and specialization. The stamping and painting processes are 100% automated, and all high-precision operations are completed by robots. Beijing off-road has also built a digital quality management system to accurately ensure the consistency of BJ60 quality control.

BJ60 not only has the commonality of luxury off-road vehicles, but also takes a new approach, linking the intimacy of home in a off-road way, adding some warmth to the hardcore off-road.

1905 movie network news In the film "Silent Witness" directed by Renee Haring, the three most national stars of "Three Gold Best Actor" Zhang Jiahui, "National Flower" Yang Zi, and "Uncrowned Best Actor" Ren Xianqi gathered together and started their first experience on the screen: Zhang Jiahui was not a detective as a forensic doctor, Yang Zi was not a cute girl as a beating girl, and Ren Xianqi subverted the image of a warm man with a "soft heart" and turned into the most ruthless gangster. The three "go out" challenged fresh themes and fresh characters, which brought great surprises and expectations to many audiences.

"Silent Witness" tells the story of a escape game played by the Forensic Medical Center on a rainy night. In order to protect the evidence and uncover the truth, the forensic doctor played by Zhang Jiahui and Yang Zi engaged in a fierce confrontation with the gangster gang led by Ren Xianqi. This "cat-and-mouse game" seems to have a great disparity in strength, and there is no suspense, but the forensic doctors are not willing to surrender the evidence and use their familiarity with the environment to engage in hand-to-hand and psychological offensive and defensive battles with the gangsters. The morgue, autopsy room, and laboratory of the forensic center have all become the scene of the confrontation between good and evil. In the confined space, the confrontation between physical strength, intelligence, and endurance quietly unfolds…

Zhang Jiahui, who bid farewell to his "undercover" identity, challenged the forensic doctor for the first time. After playing thousands of roles, he showed great freshness: "’For the living, for the right of the dead’ is the professional belief of the forensic doctor, and it is also something that my character has always believed in. His sense of belief is actually very strong. Without this sense of justice, I believe he cannot survive. At the same time, this role is very restrained, and he has to play a role of reassurance, so the performance of details in the performance is also very interesting and challenging." As the "main fighter" in hand-to-hand combat, Yang Zi said: "Brother Jiahui is in charge of intellectual combat, and I am in charge of martial combat. The two of us have a feeling of fighting together, because Brother Qi is not an ordinary gangster, his whole eyes revealed that kind of fierce feeling. In the end, we resisted all the time, and Brother Qi became more and more anxious. His state at that time really scared me." Ren Xianqi, the "culprit", also laughed: "I am very difficult to deal with, this is the most enjoyable role I have ever played. He is fierce, but at the same time very intelligent, not only tyrannical, but also a little anti-social personality."

The creators’ hard work also won praise and recognition from the audience. In the many advanced screenings held in the movie, many audiences showed great recognition for the actors’ performance. "Brother Jiahui is really too stable, calm and wise, and the role is very attractive; Brother Qi can be said to subvert the image. After watching it, I didn’t dare to listen to" The Heart is Too Soft "; the most surprising thing is actually Yang Zi. I didn’t expect that she, who is usually sweet, can fight so well in such extreme circumstances. It can be said that she is armed!" At the same time, in order to create a more realistic and tense environment, director Renee Haring also set up the Hong Kong Forensic Center with a sincere 1:1 restoration. After Xiao Qi broke the news and entered the scene, he immediately "cold to the point where his hair stood upright". It is inevitable that some viewers said after watching it, "The scene is really too real, there is a feeling of immersion, and he was forced to sweat several times in such hot weather."

"Silent Witness" tells the story of two forensic doctors, Chen Jiahao (Zhang Jiahui) and Qiao Lin (Yang Zi), in order to protect the evidence and uncover the truth, and the bandit leader SANTA (Ren Xianqi) and his gang, in the forensic center. Pre-sale of the film has opened and will be released nationwide on August 16.
