What to play on April Fool’s Day: Xiaobian has a rest, no one has a title, and I recommend 5 games to watch for myself.

"What to play on weekends" is a weekly game recommendation from touch music editors. Every weekend, we will recommend a new game of the week (occasionally there will be old games), which may be PC or console games or mobile games for your reference and choice; It may also be a collective evaluation of a popular or distinctive game, providing readers with multiple perspectives of a game.

When you stay in bed at the weekend and don’t decide what to do next, let’s see if there is anything you are interested in in our choices. Readers and developers are also welcome to seek reports from us.

Keywords: open world, national characteristics, fairy tale style

One word recommendation: Enjoy a childlike adventure on a tropical island.

Tchia is an open-world adventure game developed by Awaceb, an independent game studio in France. It has been put on PC and PS platforms on March 21st, and this game has been introduced many times before Touch Music. The founder of the studio is from New Caledonia, an overseas dependency of France in Oceania and a beautiful tropical archipelago. Many of the stories of Chia are inspired by local legends.

The protagonist is an aboriginal girl, Chia, who takes risks to save her father kidnapped by a mysterious person and travels almost everywhere in the archipelago. The open world experience of the game is relatively standard, but fortunately there is no full map question mark. There are bird’s-eye points everywhere on the map, and you can see the nearby points of interest through "shouting". Traveling along the coast, you can also see the port from time to time. It is not only a fast travel point, but also a rafting in the offshore.

No one can resist the tropical blue sea and blue sky.

Chia can explore a wide range of places, and the scenery styles are different.

Chia’s unique "soul jumping" ability enables her to possess animals and apply their special skills in a short time, which adds a lot of fun to the journey. Especially when the journey is far away, turning into a bird and running a deer can greatly shorten the walking time, and at night, you can get night vision through the eyes of cats. Beautiful scenery and harmonious neighborhood and animal relations make life on this island very dreamy and full of fairy tales.

On the whole, the fighting part of the game is not much, mainly jumping, flying, racing and other activities, and there are also many small games and competitive content scattered in the open world. The collections on the map often introduce some local cultures and legends to players. Totems that need to be carved by hand and ukuleles that need to be played by hand will also make the play process like a cultural journey.

Cultural experience is a very rich part of play.

The game screen style is bright and beautiful, and the music is also very amorous feelings, which is very suitable for casual players who like to watch the scenery. The only trouble is that the PC version of the game is currently exclusive to Epic, and the date of Steam’s shelf has not yet been determined.

One word recommendation: when bad emotions invade reality.

Looking Up I See Only A Ceiling was put on the Steam platform on March 9. The game is about the fantasies of a girl who is tired of bad mood. This is a visual novel game with a process of less than an hour, and I can feel the developer’s strong desire to express himself behind it. The game gives me a strong impression: the developer doesn’t care whether the story itself is attractive or not, but whether her feelings can be conveyed, or whether it can resonate with players who are also tired of bad emotions. This kind of expression and resonance constitute the source power of developers’ creation.

I have this impression because the story structure of the game is relatively simple, and the final summary is slightly thin-this is what makes me dissatisfied with the game. In my opinion, the greatest advantage of the game comes from sincerity. Although the whole story is simple, the temperament of "I have really experienced it" from beginning to end must be able to impress some people.

Only you can help yourself out of bad mood.

Who hasn’t been breathless by a dead line?

By the way, the artistic style of the game is quite good, with a faint sense of melancholy, which fits the theme very well, and the heroine’s vertical painting is also great. It’s good to spare a little time to play this game on weekends-at least it’s better than brushing short videos.

The game currently sells for 11 yuan on Steam.

A word of recommendation: explore the long-buried secrets in the deep sea.

DREDGE is a fishing adventure game with Cthulhu style. Players will drive fishing boats to the mysterious islands to fish, learn about the difficulties encountered in each area in the process of trading catches with local people, and equip your boat with better equipment with the exchanged money so that you can fish in the deep sea. But pay attention to the time, at night, there may be mysterious creatures hidden in the darkness …

Players will start from their new home "Marrows" in the remote islands, and gradually upgrade the engine of the ship, so that they can sail to neighboring areas. Each area has its own unique fish, villagers full of personality and secrets hidden in the depths. In the game, someone will invite you to go to the sea to salvage your old treasure, which will be an additional source of income. However, what kind of danger will be hidden behind it, and players need to explore it themselves.

Sail a fishing boat to the island

Deliver the fish on the order in exchange for payment.

The game has worked hard on inventory management and adopted a visual inventory system. The inventory we can see is the inventory of the whole ship, including the area where the engine, lighting equipment and fishing equipment are placed. Players must strike a balance between security and revenue.

The engine can make the ship sail faster, the ship lights can see farther at night, and the advanced fishing tackle can catch more advanced fish resources in exchange for payment. But correspondingly, there are more grids for placing hull equipment, and fewer grids for placing fish resources. If you reduce the equipment, you need to bear certain risks.

Inventory of the whole ship

The freedom of the game is very high, and the main line and branch line can be done as you like, and you can get mechanical parts for upgrading ships. In the game, night is the most critical, and it is also the time period when the mysterious atmosphere and horror elements are concentrated in the game. In the vast sea, only the lighthouse on the island and the floating belt around it have a glimmer of light. Be careful of the strange fishing boats that appear in the deep sea at night.

"Fishing Sail Surge" has landed on several major platforms and supports Chinese. Steam is sold in 110 yuan.

Keywords: puzzle solving, science fiction, plot

One word recommendation: the plot of the remaining products of solving puzzles.

"Abby" is a domestic puzzle game on the mobile side, and won the Best Local Independent Game Award in the App Store in 2017.

What attracted me to download at first was its barren and sci-fi worldview setting: two robots, Abby and Didi, searched for white birds and traces of human beings in deserted cities. This setting reminds me of the movie Robot Story.

The doomsday wasteland painting style of Abby is very distinctive.

The game is played by manipulating two robots, Abby and Didi, and Jamie, a scientist with only brains, to explore maps, complete small tasks and solve puzzles step by step. Developers are friendly in the game system to give clues to solve puzzles, with the raiders, customs clearance is not difficult. The note on the map, the deserted city, the virtual projection of the big city and the monologue of the robot NPC "They don’t need me" suggest that the human beings in this world may have died, and Jamie in the form of robot is likely to be the last human being in the world.

Zach, who wrote the letter, didn’t come back

If we continue to dig deep into this virtual reality and the setting of a brain in a jar, it is possible to make a plot-oriented game like Thirteen Soldiers’ Defense Circle, but the developer of Abby hides the plot under props, screen background and dialogue, and the main line of the game is still to operate robots to solve puzzles. I can understand that this game is designed to play like this because of the limited volume of the game, but the story of NPC, the reason for the disappearance of human beings, Jamie’s future, etc., obviously can continue to talk, but they come to an abrupt end, which always makes me feel that the game is not over.

"Abby" has a double ending design. Comparatively speaking, I prefer the second one. Because there are companions, even if the journey is difficult, it is not lonely. Moreover, Jamie is very weak after returning to human form, and I am worried about whether he can survive in a decaying city without animals and plants.

The game is sold in 6 yuan on the App Store, and it takes about 3 hours to clear customs. Although it’s 2D, there are various ways of interaction, which, in the words of the developer, means "balancing between art and technology". The process of solving puzzles is also very interesting, which requires players to consider the size of two robots and complete various operations.

The game was released in 2016 and the DLC was completed in December 2022, so now is a good time to experience the whole body. Interested players should not miss it.

Keywords: visual novel, plot

One word recommendation: the long dream will come to an end.

Lao Han ran all his life in the mountains of western Hunan.

In order to deliver letters, he walked through the paths between fields, waded through muddy mountain roads and climbed the steepest fall in Ma Po. He never thought that he would be unable to walk one day, and he would be chained to this white building called "Mental Health Center". Who is this middle-aged woman who calls herself "Dad"? Why did the young man in his thirties say he was his grandson? Where did your old parcel go? Lao Han doesn’t understand. Lao Han can’t sit still. He has to go out to deliver letters. Without him, who should take the letters from those villages?

Also, where did his lover, Qi Mei, go?

His seventh sister and the peach tree in his dream

Long Dream tells the story of an old man suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. If you have played Bad Kids, also produced by Wild Monkey Studio, you should be familiar with the characters in Long Dream: Wang Han, the grandson of the protagonist Lao Han, is the protagonist of Bad Kids. More than ten years after the story of "Bad Kids" ended, Wang Han stepped into the team of "Ben Si" from an ignorant pupil. Wang Han, a 30-year-old mother, Han Kangmei, who is nearly 60 years old, and Lao Han, who is close to 90 years old, gathered in the hospital because of Lao Han’s illness, which inevitably produced various contradictions, conflicts and misunderstandings.

Compared with Bad Children, which is mainly from the perspective of Wang Han, Long Dream has made great progress in expression, narrative technique and performance. The player’s perspective is constantly switching between Wang Han and his grandfather Lao Han. From Wang Han’s perspective, you can see the mental health center. With the help of Lao Han’s perspective, you can understand his past in Lao Han’s memories. In the course of his story, Wang Han and Han Kangmei will also appear in these old scenes in an interesting way to evaluate Lao Han’s memories.

Wang Han and Han Kangmei "hidden" in the electric meter

The story of "Long Dream" also tells the misunderstanding between three generations and their respective difficulties: the contradiction between Han Kangmei and his father Lao Han, Wang Han’s nostalgia for his grandfather Lao Han, and the incomprehension between Wang Han and his mother Han Kangmei. If "Bad Kids" is composed of memories of the 1990s, "Long Dreams" adds more dilemmas faced by contemporary people. When mother Han Kangmei smoked a cigarette and asked Wang Han, "What if I am like your grandfather when I am old …", the unfinished half sentence eventually drifted away in the smoke.

Lao Han and Han’s Anti-American Past

At present, a free trial version of the game has been released, which lasts about 1 hour. The full version will be officially launched on April 11th.

Ensure the health needs of "one old and one young", increase the supply of medical services and do our best to meet the needs of diagnosis and treatment.

Video loading …

  CCTV News:Recently, the epidemic period of respiratory diseases in winter has been superimposed in many places across the country, and the demand for medical and health services for urban and rural residents, especially children, has increased significantly. The National Health and Wellness Commission recently issued a notice, requiring local grassroots medical and health institutions to provide health services for respiratory diseases in winter and spring, and do everything possible to tap resources to carry out pediatric diagnosis and treatment services.

  The "Notice" requires that grassroots medical and health institutions in all localities should be fully open to children, and should not refuse medical treatment, and timely release the list of grassroots medical and health institutions providing pediatric services in their jurisdictions. In urban community health service centers with large service demand, the pediatric diagnosis and treatment service will be delayed for 1-3 hours on weekdays, or the service hours will be increased on Saturdays and Sundays as appropriate. Township hospitals, community health service centers and community hospitals that meet the recommended standards of service capacity should take the lead in building independent pediatric clinics.

  All localities should establish cooperation, counterpart support and referral mechanisms between general hospitals and primary medical and health institutions under their jurisdiction, and determine the pediatric docking of a general hospital for community health service centers and township hospitals. Arrange doctors with intermediate or sub-high titles to visit primary medical and health institutions, strengthen the teaching training for primary medical staff, and especially help improve the service capabilities of pediatric emergency first aid, early identification of severe children, and pediatric venipuncture.

  General hospitals should reserve a certain proportion of outpatient number sources to give priority to primary medical and health institutions. Smooth referral channels, guide mild children to give priority to primary medical and health institutions, and refer them to primary medical and health institutions for follow-up treatment if there is a clear diagnosis and stable treatment in general hospitals. Guide the children to the nearest primary medical and health institutions for follow-up, and the general hospital will arrange special personnel to provide telemedicine or online consultation services.

  Give full play to the role of family doctors, do a good job in health management services for key populations, and ensure the health needs of "one old and one small". Grassroots medical and health institutions should keep the fever clinic "fully set up and fully open", equip the grassroots medical and health institutions with necessary facilities and equipment such as thermometers and children’s atomizing machines (children’s masks), and equip them with necessary drugs such as antibiotics, antiviral drugs, cough-relieving and expectorant drugs suitable for children.

After the most volume of "618", what is the background color of domestic beauty?

In the context of the overall recovery of the beauty industry, domestic brands blew the "charge number" in this year’s "618" promotion and took out extraordinary promotion efforts and resources.

The reason is not only that this "618" is the first real promotion activity in the post-epidemic era, but also that its results will be reflected in the semi-annual reports of major brand companies, which will directly test the business quality and have directive significance for the next market trend.

The industry bottomed out, and domestic beauty products were "ok" again.

"I feel that this year’s 618 merchants have given a discount on the reserve price, so I have re-stocked a lot of skin care products and tried new make-up products." After 95, interviewee Chen Yun told the interface fashion.

Judging from the comprehensive public information, although the cosmetics industry has not returned to the high-speed growth trend of previous years, it has taken the step of upward recovery.

According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to May, the total retail sales of cosmetics was 161.9 billion yuan, up 9.7% year-on-year, exceeding the growth rate of total social retail sales by 0.4 percentage points. Among them, the retail sales of cosmetics in May was 33 billion yuan, up 11.7% year-on-year.

On the one hand, this data performance is due to the low base in the same period last year, on the other hand, it benefits from the stimulus of tourism economy such as the May 1 holiday, and the 618 promotion of major e-commerce platforms began to build momentum and promote sales in the middle and late May.

According to the data from the special e-commerce Vipshop, the overall sales of beauty products increased by 11.5% year-on-year during the climax of the mid-sale festival in 618. Among them, beauty and skin care, cosmetics and perfumes, personal care and other categories all achieved double-digit growth; In terms of brands, the sales of international big brands and domestic brands increased by 11.4 and 11.1% respectively.

The cosmetics market has begun to step out of the "cold winter" gradually, and the change in the ranking of sub-categories also shows the new trend of the development of local cosmetics enterprises.

From the perfect diary of domestic beauty brands and the sudden emergence of Hua Xizi two years ago, many people in the beauty industry have seen the hope of the birth of the next L ‘Oreal in China.

The recurrence of the sudden COVID-19 epidemic in 2020 has lengthened the cycle of this vision, and many beauty brands have experienced a dark moment in 2022. However, judging from the ranking of beauty brands in this year’s 618, domestic cosmetics have a tendency to make a comeback.

Tmall official WeChat WeChat official account "Tmall Big Beauty" release list shows that on the first day of pre-sale payment from May 31 to June 1, in the top ten list of beauty industry turnover, Polaiya and Winona occupied the fourth and ninth place respectively. Among the top 20, there are rising stars such as Ke Fumei and amiro.

In the latest "618 Beauty Record List" released by Vipshop, domestic brands performed brilliantly, occupying 6 seats in the list, while Polaiya occupied the third place in the record list with a year-on-year increase in sales of more than 60%, and Winona, Marumi and Nature Hall ranked high.

The recognition of domestic brands by local consumers is closely related to the rising trend of the whole country in recent years. The prosperity of the country is the foundation, and the national self-confidence of local consumers is also rising.

Han Xiaoli, a post-90s interviewee, said that many domestic brands have done as well as international brands in terms of makeup quality and packaging design, and she is still trying and observing skin care products.

Since L ‘Oré al and other international beauty groups successively entered China around 2000, the beauty market in China has experienced more than 20 years of development. This is a short time compared with the development course of European and American cosmetic companies for hundreds of years, but the beauty market in China is crossing the time difference at a flying speed.

As a country with a large population, China’s beauty market has the opportunity of great national effect. No matter from the upstream supply chain to the terminal retail, the domestic cosmetics industry has large-scale development and innovation. One example is the rapid deployment of online e-commerce channels by major brands in China.

Moreover, with the improvement of local consumers’ awareness of beauty cosmetics, they are disenchanted with the aura of international brands and are increasingly pursuing differentiated and refined care. Minority brands and featured products still have the opportunity to fight for a world, which also provides rich soil for the growth of domestic brands.

The big single product strategy continues to be popular. How does "red-hot" become "Changhong"?

In the beauty industry, a brand often needs to rely on a single explosive product to achieve a breakthrough from 0 to 1, such as special care cream for Winona and anti-aging eye cream for Marubi.

The big single product strategy is the successful path verified by domestic beauty brands.

Take Polaiya as an example. As early as 2020, Polaiya put forward the "big single product strategy" in the financial report, and said that it was necessary to "create a star single product with brand mind and representativeness, thereby increasing the customer unit price and repurchase rate and enhancing brand stickiness". The ruby essence and double-antibody essence mentioned in it have become the most outstanding items of Polaiya at present.

Especially after the epidemic, many mass consumers turn to more rational consumption, and will comprehensively compare product information and evaluation from various channels. For brands, in the "618" with bundled promotion and fierce competition, marketing is of course important, but what is more important is product strength in order to win consumers’ attention and make them place an order for purchase.

According to the list of "one move fresh" single products released by Vipshop, in the sales performance of 618 functional single products, the top five products are Polaiya Ruby Day Cream, Winona Shuhu Xiumin Moisturizing Mask, Huanhuan Plant-by-Book Water Cleansing Oil, Huaxizi Xiaoyan Umbrella Sunscreen and HBN Early C Late A Anti-aging Water Emulsion Set, all of which are from domestic brands.

It is worth noting that under the situation of increasing awareness of domestic beauty consumption, some unique skin care formula concepts such as "early C late A" and "early P late R" have strengthened the synergistic effect of domestic brand product portfolio. For example, Polaiya double-antibody essence and ruby essence, HBN luminous water and double-A essence milk, and the combination of Yuze macromolecule golden shield sunscreen and Yuze essence milk.

In terms of marketing, in addition to catching up with the popular skin care concepts and making consumers know about the efficacy of "big items" and their combinations, domestic brands are still trying to continuously strengthen the traffic exposure of star products in many aspects and strive to make them become Changhong’s classic products.

Winona, for example, combined with the theme of Disney’s centenary, launched a Disney limited gift box including star products such as Shumin Water, Special Care Essence and Special Care Cream during Children’s Day on June 1st. At the same time, a number of online media platforms launched Qiyu Story TVC, which built an "amusement park-style" professional skin care experience pop-up shop around the characteristics of professional skin care brands and Disney’s children’s fun entertainment IP.

The creative measures of local beauty brands in sales mode and marketing mode are pushing the beauty industry to develop in a more professional, creative and diversified direction.

Research and development is to domestic beauty, as the city wall is to Rome.

The strategy of large single products should continue to shine, which is inseparable from the support of research and development.

In recent years, local listed cosmetics companies such as Polaiya, Shuiyang, Marubi and Betani have all invested in production R&D bases and other heavy assets projects after raising funds. For some brands that get goods from foundries and start with online marketing, in-depth cooperation with foundries has also become a path for overtaking in corners.

A cosmetics researcher told Interface Fashion that when the epidemic situation in the past three years led to poor transportation and logistics, the problem of "sticking the neck" of the main raw materials relying on overseas markets became more prominent. Typical basic raw materials such as surfactants were monopolized by a few foreign manufacturers, and the domestic quantity efficiency was not high, which brought many brands chain problems such as delayed listing of new products and increased development costs.

But this does not mean that domestic beauty will always fall behind. On the contrary, the industry has ushered in a new R&D window. Take ergothionine, a popular ingredient in skin care products market, for example. After domestic manufacturers use biosynthesis technology to increase the output of ergothionine, its cost and price have directly dropped by more than one time.

The technical realizability and broad application market prospect of these functional active ingredients undoubtedly bring new opportunities to local brands. Peptide compounds such as oriental plant components, peptides and oligopeptides are all hot research directions in the domestic cosmetic market at present.

However, at present, there are not many domestic beauty products featuring oriental plant ingredients that can rank in the forefront of the sales list, and their sound volume has not been fully opened. It can be said that at present, domestic brands have not yet run out of the real oriental plant big single product, which can be compared with the situation that the mushroom water from Yuemu once exploded.

This is also the space for the development of oriental plant components. Under the propaganda advantage of oriental plants with natural cultural and emotional attributes, how domestic brands can strengthen their efficacy credibility will become a breakthrough, which is embodied in studying the extraction and formula performance of their active ingredients, and scientifically verifying their mechanism and safety.

In addition to oriental plant ingredients, domestic beauty products are also trying to explore opportunities in many sub-sectors and open up a new blue ocean of growth for themselves, such as sun protection.

Chinese brand Baiqueling told interface fashion that their research found that Asian skin and western skin have different skin characteristics caused by ultraviolet and blue light and near infrared radiation. Based on thousands of skin samples and data comparison, Baiqueling developed and marketed a sun protection sunscreen lotion, which is designed to effectively resist light damage for oriental women.

The breakthrough of sunscreen category proves that domestic beauty cosmetics have perfect research and development capabilities, but their greater ambition lies in improving competitiveness and brand power and entering high-end fields.

It is a shortcut to buy more mature brands in the market. For example, Perfect Diary’s parent company, Yixian E-commerce, acquired international brands such as Galenic France Colanli, EVE LOM and DR.WU, many of which were priced at 1,000 yuan. The skin care sector composed of these newly added brands has become an indispensable revenue pillar of Yixian e-commerce.

Many local beauty companies are also trying to cut into the high-end market from anti-aging products, such as Bettini’s new brand "AOXMED". The in-station data of Vipshop also shows that the sales volume of functional products with anti-aging and firming effect has the best growth, with an increase of nearly 30% during the "618" period. This is because the strong efficacy of high-end anti-aging products often contributes to a high repurchase rate and a stronger user stickiness.

However, it should be noted that the cultivation cycle of high-end brands and products is very long, and a lot of market education is needed to obtain loyal consumers.

After three years of market downturn, this "618" is more like a new starting point for domestic beauty brands. From R&D to marketing, domestic beauty cosmetics still have a long way to go to become China’s L ‘Oreal, Shiseido or Amore Pacific, but there is no doubt that they are still making progress.

Don’t know anything about makeup? Understand these four beauty tips, and you will be as charming as going to the street.

As the saying goes, having a superb makeup artist can be called cosmetic surgery. Learning to make up can make you look more beautiful without pain. However, people in China are more interested in natural beauty, and they still want to sleep for a few more minutes every morning, so many people don’t spend too much energy on makeup or even don’t want to know how to do it at all. If you don’t know anything about makeup and want to have beautiful facial muscles, these four tips must be understood. Let’s learn together now ~

First, wash your face and skin care in the morning and evening

Washing your face is the most basic skin care work, no matter how lazy you are, you should do it well. Because if the dust and grease on the skin are not thoroughly cleaned for a long time, it will penetrate into the skin, causing the skin to become coarse and dark yellow, and it will also cause acne. Therefore, when we choose facial cleanser for daily use, we can give priority to those with amino acids, because it has stronger cleaning power and excellent oil control and acne removal effects, and it can be used by friends who often face computer phones.

Second, use plain cream to create a good complexion.

Everyone wants to have a good complexion, but incorrect and untimely skin care methods will cause many flaws on our faces. The most obvious thing is that the skin is dark yellow and dull. At this time, we can choose a practical plain cream to solve the problem of complexion.

Plain cream is also called lazy cream. Its texture is light and thin, and it can play a good role in moisturizing and whitening after being applied, making the whole person look full of vitality. When choosing a plain cream, you can pay attention to our domestic product-Yazhi’s Lady Cream. After a few simple smears, you can make your skin thoroughly and evenly bright, and you can easily have a plain makeup feeling without removing makeup. If you use it frequently, you will find that your skin becomes tender and white, and your complexion is better.

Third, learn to draw eyebrows

Eyebrows are the focus of makeup. Even if you can’t draw eye shadow and eyeliner, you should know how to draw eyebrows. Because whether the eyebrows look good or not is directly related to whether the whole face is clear or not. If your eyebrows are thick, you just need to modify the hair and draw the eyebrow shape. If your eyebrows are not pretty and you don’t know how to draw eyebrows, you can use the eyebrow card, just choose your favorite eyebrow card and draw the shape according to the model.

Fourth, learn to apply lipstick

Even if you don’t know anything about makeup, the basic thing of applying lipstick is to be done. If you really don’t want to spend too much time tidying yourself up at ordinary times, you can be beautiful as long as you apply a layer of plain cream and draw a lipstick and eyebrows. When choosing lipstick, you should choose according to your skin color: ① Choosing orange and positive red for yellow skin can brighten your skin color and make your skin shine more; 2 black skin can choose rose red and red light lipstick, which will look more attractive; 3 friends with white skin can control many red numbers, so it’s ok to choose what you like. The above are a few small beauty tips hidden by Xiaobian. Do the sisters understand it now?

Increase knowledge/beginners must see! What do you know about badminton rules?

Everyone who knows me knows that I have a hobby-badminton!

There are many friends who play ball around, and I will know some beginners of badminton, but the basic etiquette and rules of badminton are still unclear, so I hereby write an article to introduce some knowledge about badminton.

From two aspects, playing etiquette and rules.

I. Playing etiquette (amateur)

Why do you talk about this first? Because it will make people like playing ball with you more. At the same time, it is also one of the manifestations of the ball’s character, and character is more important than technology.

1. Trust your teammates and respect your opponents.

Most badminton courts are dominated by doubles, and partners may be randomly matched. No matter how strong the partners are, please don’t point fingers or even blame the bad face on the court. You can teach after the game. Please trust your teammates when you are on the court.

Ps: If you dislike being weak, make yourself stronger.

Respect for opponents comes from dressing up and playing seriously. Some beginners wear shoes, jeans, skirts (non-sports skirts) and other clothes that are not suitable for playing. One is that they are easy to get hurt, and the other is that they don’t respect their opponents’ performance. Now that you know that you are going to play ball today, you should prepare your playing equipment in advance (jerseys, sneakers and rackets).

Ps: These words refer to friends who really want to learn how to play and improve their skills. Friends play for fun, so happiness is the most important thing, and rules and etiquette can be ignored.

2. Whoever gets off the net will pick up the ball.

If you hit the ball in front of the net and don’t cross the net, please take the initiative to pick it up and serve it back to the opponent, especially when the ball falls on our court. Don’t turn your head and walk away when you are closer to the ball after it falls off the net. This is not good.

I know that many novices do it unconsciously, but unconsciously. If you know it, you can change it ~

3. Mainly the above two points, there are still some details that I won’t talk about, such as don’t dominate the court all the time, don’t press the net, don’t play football, don’t walk into the playing field, etc ~

Let me talk about the basic rules of badminton:

First, the service rules

1. Regardless of singles and doubles, you need to serve/receive the ball diagonally (see the diagram below for details). The server and receiver need to be in the specified area. When serving, the server must touch the ground with both feet and cannot step on the line.

2. When serving, the position of the ball is required to be lower than the waist (below the belly button) and wrist of the server, so you can’t throw the ball and kill it directly;

3. The server has only one chance to serve, and the service ends when the ball hits the server’s racket or falls to the ground (although it is not so harsh on novices when playing);

4. In doubles, there is no limit to the position where the server and receiver’s teammates stand. You can stand on the same side or stand on both sides separately.

Second, singles/doubles serve and hitting areas

[singles]

Calculate the side of the service station according to the score we have won: when our score is even (including 0), we will serve in the right half, and when the score is odd, we will serve in the left half; The winner serves as the server in the next round (whoever scores serves).

[doubles]:Serving and hitting area

The rules of doubles can be summarized in three sentences:

1. Serve in the right half when our score is even, and serve in the left half when our score is odd (same as singles);

2. The winning side serves as the server in the next round;

3. When the server (A) scores, the two players exchange positions, and the server (A) continues to serve, and the position remains unchanged in other cases.

Looking at the picture is more intuitive:

Third, scoring, changing sides, touching the net and crossing the net

[Scoring]

1. According to the 21-point system, the regular competition will be decided by two wins in three games;

2. If you win a goal, you will get 1 point. If you score 21 points first, one side will win a game.

3. If it is tied at 20, one side will win with 2 points in a row; Up to 30 points, the first 30 points to win;

4. The next game is served by the winner of the previous game.

[Changing sides]

1. After the first game, the two sides change sides;

2. If the score after the second game is 1: 1, the two sides change sides;

3. When the leader reaches 11 points in the third game, both sides change sides.

【 Touching the net and crossing the net 】

The racket and the body can’t touch the net, and touching the net is a loss of points. The racket can’t hit the ball through the opponent’s net, which counts as losing points.

Finally:

Badminton is a very interesting and great sport, I hope you can fall in love with it ~

The most classic "four RPG games" in the game hall, but anyone who has played one is a winner in life.

What? There are RPG games in arcade game?

That’s for sure!

It is found in almost every field, such as sparrow, puzzle, question and answer, action and adventure.

It’s just that the attributes of RPG are not so obvious.

In fact, the familiar Three Kingdoms, Dinosaur Fight, Knight of the Round Table and final fight are all action RPG games, but they are very different from the RPG model in our impression, so there is no association in this respect.

However, the arcade version of the quiz game is often interspersed with wonderful plots, becoming a unique RPG game.

CAPCOM and SNK launched two quiz games: Capcom World and king of fighters Quiz.

These two games involve all aspects of the game knowledge, and you must have a certain amount of knowledge to succeed.

The primary characters in the game are all familiar arcade characters. And each character has been redrawn.

Unfortunately, this kind of question-and-answer game is limited to the local area. Players in other places simply don’t understand. Of course, there are different predictions for different countries, which have not been published in China. The only thing we can play is the Republic of China Education Committee.

There have been some games in arcade game that are close to RPG, and the process of these games is often long, even if you can’t understand the description in the article, it will not affect the experience. Even if there are extra options, you only need to play once or twice to get familiar with them.

Arcade game has no archiving function, so it will only take one or two hours to clear customs!

The RPG games that appeared in those years often had a certain relationship with western magic legends, and there were equipment, level and magic settings.

In the era when CAPCOM has ruled the game hall, the appearance of Sword of the Golden Eagle undoubtedly set off a new upsurge.

The plot of the game is very simple. The king uses the dark power to summon the city of the sky to destroy the prince’s country. The Fire Warrior (Golden Eagle) tells him that he can only open the city of the sky with three keys and destroy the dark Lord.

The dark Lord is the dragon that the BOSS finally killed. After being killed, the fire warrior let the prince travel around the world to broaden his knowledge and benefit the people.

Arcade game can’t archive it, but it can renew it by password, and even get the strongest weapon directly.

The game is a relatively rare vertical game in that year. It is played from a overlooking angle, with pet system, magic and upgrade system added. Block is the most important operation. If you are not good at using block, the first three levels will be dead.

There are many feeder lines in the game, depending on whether the player has got this hidden "dragon key".

According to the normal game, it is difficult to reach the full level of 30.

Therefore, there is also a place to provide leveling in the game. There is a hidden fruit stall in the market, which can get unlimited energy for upgrading. But you must pinch the time, or there will be no one before you see the BOSS.

Once you get a super-high level here, your blood volume, attack power and defense will be improved, and the difficulty of the next few levels will be much smaller.

In the game, the plot branch will be selected according to the player’s operation. Although the ending is the same, the experience is completely different.

It can be understood that Dungeons and Dragons is the most perfect game type made by CAPCOM in the game hall period.

Unfortunately, such a fun game is not very popular in China. Xiaobian once saw a game hall put out in a big city, but there were also many people playing. That is, the shelf rate is relatively low, which is difficult to see in counties and towns.

I wonder if you still remember the BUG of choosing a name in those days? It’s the only way to get unlimited props!

In the later period, The Battle of the Three Kingdoms basically borrowed directly from the setting of Dungeons and Dragons, and added local characteristics to become a classic game we are familiar with. Even the BUG of "infinite props" is done almost the same.

Monsters will appear in the western wizarding world, and even those who have never played games can directly name them when they see them.

The biggest highlight of the game is naturally all kinds of props, equipment, magic and skills. A little more experienced in the game, you can play for an hour with one coin.

The trading system adds a lot of color to the game, and even the girl who sells things can interact with you.

Dungeons and Dragons has two works, both of which are relatively long, interspersed with various routes and feeder lines. Even if you don’t know English, it doesn’t matter much. Just play it twice.

The Lightbringer is a rare RPG game in the game hall. There are countless hidden props, hidden rooms and hidden weapons and equipment waiting for you to explore.

The biggest highlight of the game is the character’s career choice and weapon system. Every professional weapon is fixed. Swordsmen can only use swords, warriors can only use wristbands, elves can only use bows and arrows, and wizards use wands.

Weapons have different properties, and ordinary weapons with initial equipment will make a knowing blow under a certain chance.

Who would have thought that the protagonist wizard in the game is the master of the final BOSS? This setting is still relatively rare in the game. It is said that the master can easily hang his apprentice, but this is not the case in the game.

The four protagonists in the game all have reasons to fight, and the attack methods used are very different.

If a person plays this game on the simulator, he will basically give up after playing it once or twice. It has to be in the game hall, and everyone can discuss it together to discover all the secrets.

In the end, the plot of the game naturally made people happy, and the evil god and his puppet were eliminated.

The endings of several protagonists after passing the customs are all beautiful. Only the soldiers are a little overdressed.

The princess offered to marry the soldier and let him inherit the throne. As a result, the soldier said that he would build a kingdom by his own hands.

Many years later, the princess married the prince of another country, and this soldier was the captain of the prince’s guard.

This is the real RPG game in arcade game. No matter how to communicate with others, how to pass the customs, how to talk to NPC to get information and find clues, and how to set weapons stores and props stores and return to the town freely, it is the same as the familiar RPG game types.

The protagonists of the game are: warriors, magicians, monks and ninjas, and the attack methods and gameplay used are completely different. There are also subtle differences in the plot.

The plot of the game is also very simple. The devil kidnapped the princess and led the devil to attack the kingdom, and our warriors came out to stop all this.

How many young and ignorant teenagers were throbbed by this mermaid in those days!

After getting the mermaid scales, you can breathe in the water.

The protagonist has been killed from the worse gate to Penglai East Road without blinking. However, after returning to the castle, it was discovered that it had already been captured. Fortunately, the protagonist’s aura eventually turned the tide.

At one time, we were full of longing and longing for games, and always wanted to buy a game machine when we grew up.

When all the dust settled, we found that we had already lost the best and most carefree happy time.

Things have changed, and youth is gone. When we stare at the dusty game equipment at home, we are always thoughtful.

It seems that there is no spare mind except feeling youth.

Note: Some pictures in this article come from the Internet, such as intrusion and deletion.

Don’t want to be the second flower? Beauty brands accelerate "escape" from Li Jiaqi.

China Economic Weekly-Economic Net News (Reporter Hou Juan) "Where is it expensive? It has been this price for so many years, don’t talk nonsense with your eyes open. " Later, Li Jiaqi added: "Sometimes I find my own reasons. After so many years, my salary has not risen. Have you worked hard?" On September 10th, Li Jiaqi, the anchor, had an argument with netizens when he brought goods for the brand of Hua Xizi eyebrow pencil in the live broadcast room.

Soon, the topic "Li Jiaqi brings goods to netizens" and "Li Jiaqi Huaxizi" rushed to Weibo for hot search. Some netizens angered: "You earn the money of ordinary people, and in the end you ridicule the poverty of ordinary people." Some netizens said that this is "why not eat minced meat in the modern version".

On September 11th, although Li Jiaqi apologized for his inappropriate comments on the live broadcast in Weibo, saying that he had made inappropriate and uncomfortable remarks in response to product comments during the live broadcast, and sincerely accepted everyone’s criticism, Li Jiaqi may have encountered the biggest crisis in his career. That night, Li Jiaqi cried and apologized again during the live broadcast. In one day, she lost 1 million yuan.

Hua Xizi has a close relationship with Li Jiaqi. There have been rumors that "Li Jiaqi is a shareholder of Hua Xizi", but both Hua Xizi and Li Jiaqi denied it. The reporter inquired about Tianyancha APP and found that Li Jiaqi himself had no direct equity relationship with Huaxizi Company.

Although there seems to be no "blood relationship", Li Jiaqi’s influence on Hua Xizi is undeniable.

Hua Xizi, who was born in 2017, also put in a large number of KOL and KOC in the early days, but it didn’t promote the sales situation and brand volume qualitatively. Until March 2019, Hua Xizi first walked into the live broadcast room in Li Jiaqi, and the gear of fate began to turn.

According to the live broadcast forecast of Li Jiaqi live broadcast room, from August 12, 2023 to September 11, 2023, Huaxizi products appeared five times, with air honey powder twice in August, Shouwumei chalk in 79 yuan twice in September, and silk honey powder cake with a price of 159 yuan once. Three products were brought in five times.

According to ECdataway data, in January and February, 2020, 40% of the sales of Huaxizi flagship store came from the live broadcast room in Li Jiaqi, among which five products with a total sales of over one million, such as air loose powder, makeup remover wipes and carved lipstick, were frequent visitors to the live broadcast room in Li Jiaqi.

Not only Hua Xizi, but also in the beauty and skin care market, domestic brands have long relied on the head anchor. Take Li Jiaqi as an example. According to the battle report of Tmall double 11 Beauty Shop last year, among the sales of domestic brands Polaiya, Winona and Quady in the first seven days of pre-sale, the product revenue contributed by Li Jiaqi Live Room accounted for 39%, 49% and 52% respectively.

In the variety show "All Girls’ offer", Li Jiaqi showed his superb ability to bargain for the brand. When negotiating a bargain with Perfect Diary, Li Jiaqi persuaded, "For this time, all girls can make domestic products rush to the first place." "On the evening of October 20th, Xiaoxi doesn’t charge link fees" and proposed that "you can just give me this price on October 20th". After his strong "attack", the perfect diary brand finally agreed, "only for one night, plus 10 yuan later."

However, since international brands also used Li Jiaqi to bring goods, domestic products have been under great pressure. For example, in the Double Eleven in 2022, beauty brands must participate in the competition between the live broadcast rooms in Li Jiaqi, so as not to be forgotten. On the opening day of the pre-sale, all the top 10 members of Tmall’s pre-sale list participated in the live broadcast in Li Jiaqi. Among them, domestic brands account for three. In the past, dark horses, perfect diaries, etc., lost Li Jiaqi’s blessing and seemed quiet.

However, some people think that the head anchor has a large weight in the domestic beauty consumption, which makes the competition between brands too concentrated on the battlefield of live broadcast, or even on one person, which is extremely unfavorable to the whole domestic beauty industry and brand development. For the brand, the personal effect of the head anchor is greater than the brand effect, which is essentially the weakening of the brand. More dangerously, it may be destroyed by the anchor.

This time, Hua Xizi’s "high-end" filters were broken all over the floor, and many bloggers posted that the price of eyebrow pencils of well-known brands was lower than that of Hua Xizi.

For example, Shu Uemura’s eyebrow pencil with a net content of 3.5g costs 230 yuan, that is, 67.6 yuan per gram. Dior Eyebrow Pencil with a net content of 1.19 grams is sold in 260 yuan, and the price per gram is 218 yuan. The price of the eyebrow pencil with a net content of 0.25g of Yueshi Fengyin is 90 yuan, that is, 360 yuan per gram.

For domestic brands, the eyebrow pencil with a net content of 0.28g in Perfect Diary is sold in 39 yuan, that is, 139.28 yuan per gram. The eyebrow pencil with UNNY net content of 0.1g is priced at 34.9 yuan, that is, 349 yuan per gram.

The eyebrow pencil of Hua Xizi 69 yuan is 0.07g, and the price per gram is 985.71 yuan, equivalent to 1.5g of gold.

At present, the brand with a higher price than Huaxizi Eyebrow Pencil is Chanel. According to the official flagship store, the price of Chanel Eyebrow Pencil with a net content of 0.27 g is 390 yuan, that is, the price per gram is 1,444 yuan.

From the perspective of pricing, domestic brands are getting rid of the label of "low-end", but there is still a long way to go before pricing can be accepted by consumers.

The so-called domestic high-end cosmetics brand thought it had reached the age of weaning, but finally found that it was still a "young seedling" that needed to rely on online celebrity and anchor. If you don’t want to be the second flower, new domestic beauty products may need to "escape" from Li Jiaqi.

At present, savvy foreign brands no longer rely on Jiaqi, and big names in the circle, such as L ‘Oreal, also clearly want to take "offline" as their main strategy. Fei Borui, president of L ‘Oré al North Asia, said at the "Annual Communication Meeting of Development Strategy in 2023" a few months ago that consumers should be constantly exposed to L ‘Oré al products online and offline, "to create new consumption scenarios and to have interactive dialogues with consumers through offline channels, tourism and retail".

Others, such as Winona, a domestic brand, opened its first retail boutique in Shanghai early.

At present, accelerating the escape from "Li Jiaqi" has become a new topic for the beauty industry in 2023. On-line is extensive cultivation and thin harvest, while off-line is intensive cultivation. Who will succeed in solo flight?

Badminton footwork caught in one net (multiple pictures)

1, how to start

This is the most important step in badminton.

I’m here to prepare. I don’t know where the ball will go before the opponent hits the ball.

After my opponent hits the ball, I have to react in a short time.

Therefore, I must take a step to push my body to the ball as soon as possible.

With Figure 01, the first step is "starting step"

Second, how to stop

The second element of badminton pace is how to stop.

Stop, including two parts:

First, the toes should point to the ball.

In this way, you can have a stable posture and good balance.

Photo 02 Toe points to the ball.

But many people point their toes there (the midline), which is very dangerous

When your toes point to the ball, your knees can bear the weight of your body.

You can’t do this (toes pointing to the sideline), it will be worse.

Remember, your toes must point to the ball.

The second is how to get close to the ball.

You should keep an eye on your opponent when you are close to the ball.

Pay attention to the direction of my face so that I can have a better view.

Therefore, my approach to the ball should be like this.

Figure 03 The action of approaching the ball

Don’t just watch the ball, watch the opponent’s court at the same time.

Point your toes at the incoming ball, and look at your opponent’s court, not in other directions.

Third, how to return?

For example, after I hit the ball in the frontcourt, how can I return to my position and prepare for the next shot?

1. The first step of return

Photo 04 Return to the First Step

Hit the ball and get ready (with your feet back)

Hit the ball, get ready

Then come back slowly.

Photo 05 The frontcourt moves to the backcourt

Picture 06 Moving to the frontcourt is the same.

Picture 07 The same is true when moving to the side.

Photo 08 The same is true in front of the backhand net.

Without this first step of returning, it would be like this. My movement will die.

Photo 09 One-step return is wrong.

The important role of the first return step is to wait for the direction of the opponent’s ball.

Pay attention to the overall movement of the male student and focus on his legs.

After hitting the ball there, he didn’t know where his opponent’s next ball would go during the return.

Because of this, he must pause and pay attention to his overall movement rhythm.

Figure 10 The rhythm of returning to the net.

After hitting the ball, he immediately made the first step of returning, and then slowly returned.

2. The second step of return

After hitting the ball, he immediately made the first step of returning, and then slowly returned.

In the process of his return, when the opponent hits the ball, he can know where the ball is going and start it immediately.

As you can see, while he is slowly returning to his position, he is also waiting for the ball.

Photo 11 The second step of the female player slowly

If her opponent makes a fake move, if her return movement is done correctly, it is not easy to be cheated.

While she was still moving back in the air, she was also waiting for her opponent to hit the ball.

Let’s compare, if there is no first small step and a slow second step.

Figure 12: Slow second step can prevent cheating.

This small step will ensure that you keep moving.

The next move is a slower process to observe the opponent’s stroke.

This will ensure a good connection between the two shots.

Four, doubles before the net to save the ball footwork

The steps of throwing the ball in front of the net in doubles and mixed doubles can be divided into three steps:

Get ready, hit the ball, get ready;

Figure 13. Ball-saving footwork in front of doubles net

The key point here is the preparation after hitting the ball, and preparing the return ball in all directions.

The point is, get ready immediately after hitting the ball.

Fifth, the footwork of moving in front of the net in singles

If I put the net in front of the net, then I have to have the pace of returning.

Maybe four or five steps.

Take a look, in front of the forehand net

If the ball is far away, it is five steps.

If the ball is close, it is four steps.

Figure 14 Moving footwork in front of the net in singles

Photo 15 Female students hit the ball in front of forehand net

2. Hit the ball with backhand in front of the net

It can be four steps, and if it is a save, it is three steps.

Photo 16 Female students hit the ball in front of the backhand net

3. Forehand and backhand footwork

Pay attention to the pace of landing with both feet at the same time, which is the most important point.

Let’s do five forehand steps and four backhand steps on both sides

Pay attention to the timing of landing, just after the opponent hits the ball, not at the same time or in advance.

Figure 17 Forehand and Backhand Footwork

Six, doubles forehand net before picking the ball footwork

Key points to remember:

1. "Step One"

2. The pace of returning after picking the ball

3. Move before the next "first step" after returning to the middle.

Figure 18 Movement before "the first step"

Figure 19 Step 1

Figure 20 Footwork of Return

With Figure 21, pay attention to the "first step" to start moving.

Photo 22 The "first step" of the two men is simultaneous, just after the opponent hits the ball.

Figure 23 Footwork of Return

Seven, doubles backhand before the net to pick the ball footwork

According to the distance of the ball, it takes four or five steps to pick the ball in front of the backhand net.

Including starting, stopping and returning.

Photo 24: Picking the ball in front of the backhand net in doubles.

Eight, doubles forehand draw footwork.

There are five steps in forehand draw.

Photo 25 Footwork of Forehand Flat Draw in Doubles

⑴ Watching the ball: The first step is to start jumping.

⑵ Preparation: Step from left foot to right foot.

⑶ Hit the ball: Step out to the sideline with your right foot and hit the ball.

There are four steps in the backhand draw of doubles:

Watching the ball: the first step is to start jumping.

Hit the ball: hit the ball with your right foot on the ground.

Return: the first step of return

Ready: double jump return

Ten, doubles on both sides of the flat draw footwork.

Draw horizontally on both sides, one forehand step and four backhand steps.

The last step is also the "first step"

Figure 27: The footwork of flat draw on both sides of doubles

Eleven, the footwork of the single kill defense (right)

Take the kill step, five forehand steps and four backhand steps.

Sometimes, the backhand is three steps.

If the ball is close, you can use four steps.

If the ball is closer to the center of the field, you can use four steps.

Fig. 28 Footwork of Single Catch-and-Kill Defense (four steps on the right)

If the ball is far away, it takes five steps.

Photo 29 footwork of single-kill defense (five steps on the right)

Twelve, the footwork of the single-kill defense (left side)

If there is more time or the ball is close, use four steps.

When there is more time, almost 60% of the time is four steps.

Figure 30 footwork of single-player catch-and-kill defense (left four steps)

If there is not enough time, use three steps.

Sometimes you may be late. It takes three steps.

When the ball is close, four steps

Figure 31 footwork of single-player catch-kill defense (three steps on the left)

Thirteen, doubles defensive footwork (opponent’s net attack)

What is said here is the defensive footwork when the opponent saves the ball in front of the net.

Usually there are three steps: preparation, hitting the ball and preparation.

Photo 32 Catch the ball

Fourteen, the footwork of doubles catch defense (pick the high ball)

One look, two dozen, three times, four times, etc.

Photo 33 doubles catch and kill lob

When catching the lob, there are four steps because it is the backcourt ball and there is a certain time.

Look first, then hit the ball, then recover and return to the original position.

Then relax and wait for the next shot.

Photo 34 Catch, Kill and Pick the Golf

Fifteen, the footwork of the high ball (the first: basic footwork)

There are two kinds of high-ball paces in the backcourt.

Here is the first kind, the basic footwork.

There are seven steps. Let’s take a look:

Figure 35 footwork of high-distance ball (the first type: basic footwork)

One look, two aim, three lead, four strike, five look, six view, seven etc.

When the ball comes faster, the last seventh step is the "first step" of the next racket.

Starting from the "first step" and ending from the "first step", so that the next beat can be connected well.

16. Footwork of the high ball (the second type: advanced footwork)

When the opponent hits the backcourt flat and you take the initiative to fight back, then you have to change your footwork.

There are sideways movements and recovery footwork.

The step of recovery can make you return to China faster.

Fig. 36 Footwork of high-distance ball (second type: advanced footwork)

Seventeen, kill the ball footwork

There are basically six steps to kill the ball:

Photo 37 Ball Killing Footwork

When forehand kills the ball, sometimes there can be a slight recovery step.

Photo 38 Ball Killing Footwork

If you need a step to recover, this step must be fast.

If there is not enough time, don’t recover that small step.

After killing the ball, if you need a small step to recover, this step must be fast and small.

If time is not enough, don’t have this small step to recover.

50+ new beauty products are fighting fiercely, where is the "new"?

Judging from the new products, especially skin care products, launched by major brands at the beginning of the year, they focus on the efficacy types of "early C and late A", and there is no lack of the trend of clustering online celebrity concepts and ingredients to homogenize the production capacity.

On the one hand, it is difficult to put the new regulations on record; On the one hand, big-name beauty has opened a new racing competition.


According to the incomplete statistics of the reporter of Cosmetics Finance Online, in 2022, more than 30 brands have launched more than 50 new products, expecting to usher in a "good start".

Among these brands that have launched new products, there are not only international brands such as Estee Lauder, Lancome, Saint Laurent, Frestech and Guerlain, but also well-known domestic brands such as Nature Hall, Proya, Marie Daijia, herborist and Yiyi Herbal Medicine, as well as popular new brands such as Ximuyuan, Winona, Runbaiyan, Kuadi and Yiben.

What kind of "masterpieces" will different brands launch to capture the market? From these new products, what beauty products trends can we see and what pain points can we find?

01

The average price is close to 600 yuan per bottle.

The essence is still a gold mine.

Among the more than 30 new skin care products incompletely counted by the reporter of Cosmetic Finance Online, the products of "essence" and "essence" are still the focus of new products promoted by major brands, and 12 brands including Estee Lauder, herborist, la roche-posay and innisfree have launched this type of new products.


From the main efficacy, most of these new essences are mainly whitening and repairing, which is the same as the efficacy advocated by the concept of "early C and late A" that exploded in 2021. That is to say, the main products are VC and VA (including A aldehyde, A alcohol and A fat), which can effectively whiten and resist oxidation, and have the effects of anti-aging and repair.

In addition, in these new essences, in addition to the necessary components VC and VA and their derivatives, other components are mostly plant extracts, such as orchids, myrtle, Zhenye cherry seeds, Erigeron, sea lilies, Bai Lianhua, mirabilis jalapa, etc., and more attention is paid to green, moisturizing and moisturizing. Obviously, brands want to enter the consumer market in a green, healthy, efficient and safe way.

In terms of price, the average price of the new essence is 585 yuan/bottle. Among them, the prices of foreign brands such as Estee Lauder, Chanel and Ya Dun are close to 1,000 yuan, which is significantly higher than that of domestic brands, about twice as much.

Some insiders pointed out that nowadays, with the increasing demand of consumers for cosmetics, more efficient, more research and development strength, but also more expensive essence quickly occupied the minds of consumers. "For consumers, the higher the efficacy, the more popular it is; For brands, the higher the price, the more objective the profit, so it is not difficult to understand why cosmetics brands get together to launch elite products. "


02

Star products are upgraded again

"Classic single product" is a strategic consensus.

The continuous upgrading of star items is also a common "innovation" strategy for brands.

Among the new products launched in 2022, Runbaiyan, Estee Lauder, YSL Saint Laurent Beauty Cosmetics, and Book by Book are all upgraded in formula or packaging around star items, so as to meet the needs of consumers and expand the market with newer and more comprehensive values.

On the one hand, in the rapidly changing consumer market, various products emerge one after another, and the life cycle of products is getting shorter and shorter. It is not easy to create an enduring and attractive product. Once the same or similar products appear, the competitiveness of the original products will be greatly weakened. Therefore, we should explore from the aspects of product function, experience and personalization to create a moat of products.

On the other hand, the consumer demand is constantly changing, and products should be adjusted around the consumer demand in time to keep up with the pace of consumers. Even star items should enhance their product value and meet the needs of users so as not to be eliminated by users. In addition, the upgrade of classic items will not only help the brand to consolidate existing consumers, but also enable the brand to touch potential consumers in the promotion of new products and new functions.

03

"Box Set" is popular again.

Behind it is the change of new channels.

In parallel with the strategy of "big single product", the combination of "water, milk and frost" which prevailed in CS channel ten years ago has returned to the stage, but the beneficiaries of this channel have become Tik Tok, Aauto Quicker and major broadcast rooms.


This year, OLAY, Decker, Infusa, Yilian and other brands launched new products in the form of "water+milk" or "water+milk+cream".


Behind this is the change brought by brand layout new channels and catering to the sinking market.

The core components of sunscreen remain unchanged.

But the formula pays more attention to caring skin and nourishing skin.

In addition to essence and box, sunscreen is a skin care product that consumers focus on in spring. In this year, Nature Hall, Gaozi, Anjesha, and Deke launched new sunscreen products. Although the core components of the four sunscreens have not changed significantly, they all tend to be skin-friendly and nourishing in formula.

With the gradual enhancement of consumers’ awareness of sun protection and more professional functional demands, in recent years, the development of sun protection products has shown some development keywords such as "skin care", "anti-aging" and "multi-effect".

Lipstick comes out quickly.

Silk and water are two selling points.

Even under the influence of the epidemic, many brands said that lipstick sales showed a downward trend, but in 2022, the battle of new cosmetics had to look at "lipstick" first.

Among the 16 new make-up products counted by the reporter of Cosmetics Finance Online (except for the New Year’s limit), "lipstick" is the new keyword, and nearly half of the brands have introduced lipstick, followed by foundation/air cushion/isolation, followed by eyeliner and lipstick.

In the new lipstick, there are many colors and diverse textures, and softness and moisture are two outstanding characteristics respectively.

High-end brands continue to create "spire" makeup;

More expensive price, more skin-nourishing ingredients.

When makeup is becoming a common beauty product for a new generation of consumers, it is more like a skin care product for many consumers, which is different from high-frequency cosmetics such as lipstick. A good makeup product for a make-up brand is just like a good essence for a skin care brand. It is a "spire" product that can occupy consumers’ minds, thus driving the joint purchase of other products.

It is worth noting that among the new foundations launched by major brands this time, Lancome foundation cream costs 1050 yuan/bottle, which exceeds the price of most liquid foundations. "One bottle of powder cream, half bottle of essence", this product combines foundation and essence cream, and is suitable for before liquid foundation, which makes makeup tend to skin care and skin care.

Cold thinking:

When online celebrity’s concepts and components get together,

Is the new product really "new"?

Judging from the new products launched by major brands at the beginning of the year, especially skin care products, they focus on the efficacy types of "early C and late A", and there is no lack of suspicion that online celebrity’s concepts and ingredients are clustered together and the production capacity is homogenized. Is this new product really "new" for consumers?

In today’s diverse skin care market, there is a need for many types of new products. Only by studying consumer demand and producing more diversified products that meet the real needs of consumers can brands gain more voice in the fierce market competition.
