"Ping Ping An An​​​​​​​" (平平安安)

“Architecture should speak of its time and place but yearn for timelessness.” – Frank Gehry

The Queen of the Orient, Paris of the East, The City of Shen (申城), our dear Shanghai goes by many eclectic names. No matter what you call it, the city on the sea attracts a certain type of energy that has the power to move you deeply. No matter where you come from, this is home. Here you’re safe and sound from whatever you were running from. Now it’s just living. And it’s easy in a scene where old meets new at every corner. Hungarian-Slovak architect László Hudec, commonly known as Shanghai’s master builder, designed over 60 buildings in the thirty years he lived here. His creativity resulted in many of the art deco architecture that still stands to this day. Hudec’s masterpiece was the tallest building in the metropolis, until the 1980s, the twenty-two story Park Hotel Shanghai on Nanjing Road. A walk down the bund might as well be a walk through time. Western-style buildings, Neoclassical to Beaux-Arts to Gothic to Baroque, sky high edifices, traditional Shikumen lane houses, It's all here. All you could ever ask for just a few blocks near Bao Ren Long (保仁弄). Although some say the street is already removed, the feelings evoked when walking past remain.

Celebrities + TV stations, Taobao Live plays the nostalgic card

After TVB started live streaming on Taobao, another TV station recently joined the Taobao live streaming camp.

At 12 noon on June 6, Dragon TV officially launched its live broadcast on Taobao, focusing on Shanghai-style live broadcasts. From the style of the live broadcast room to the products, Shanghai characteristics are reflected.

For example, the background of the live broadcast room is Shikumen "in the tomato". The anchors Mao Mengda and Wang Yaoqing HE Tuber are teaching the Shanghai nursery rhyme "Selling Sugar Porridge" and telling Shanghai stories on the spot. In addition, they also invited guests from Dragon TV's "My Style My Show" Popular artists such as Yuan Chengjie and Zhu Jie; the product selection is mainly based on old Shanghai domestic brands such as White Rabbit, Xinghualou, Fenghua, and Guangming.

Official data shows that during the 13-hour live broadcast, more than 10 million people watched the live broadcast. Sales on the day reached 10.7 million, and fans increased by 300,000 for the first show; of which Shanghai Sulfur Soap sold 100,000 yuan, Dabai 30,000 rabbit milk candies were sold, and nearly 5,000 bottles of Liushen toilet water were sold.

The model of celebrities + goods + emotions is hard not to remind people of TVB, which also launched live broadcasts on Taobao.

TVB, which launched its first live broadcast on Taobao in March this year, has always emphasized Hong Kong drama-style live broadcasts. So far, it has carried out a series of Hong Kong drama-themed TV series such as "Heartstorm", "Up to the Sky", "Multifunctional Wife" and "Forensic Pioneer". Hong Kong Exclusive. The live broadcast room is also full of Hong Kong flavor, from the anchor to the Cantonese delivery and the goods.

For example, in the live broadcast with the theme of "Up to the Sky", actors Ma Guoming, Chen Minzhi and Chen Ziyao from the show were invited to serve as anchors. The background of the live broadcast room restored the cabin shooting scene in the show. Chen Minzhi and Yoyo first introduced the product in Cantonese, and then used Mandarin is supplemented; the products include some Hong Kong-style milk tea, Jenny Bear cookies and other products with Hong Kong characteristics.

As TVB's live broadcast on Taobao becomes more and more comfortable, its performance is also rising.

On June 1, TVB's official public account announced that the ninth live broadcast of "TVB Knows Goods" held on Taobao on May 31, the total sales exceeded 100 million yuan, and the cumulative number of viewers was nearly 10 million, setting a record for TVB on Taobao. A new record since the live broadcast.

It is understood that the live broadcast of "TVB Knows Goods" on the evening of May 31 was themed "Miss Hong Kong" and invited Li Nuoyi, Chen Ziyao, Tang Luowen, Gao Haining, Zhu Chenli and He Yiting to participate in the e-commerce live broadcast, which lasted for 9 hours. .

Immediately afterwards, TVB's stock price also rose again. When the market opened on June 2, TVB's stock price once soared 50.31%, and was quoted at HK$7.29.

Coincidentally, another Hong Kong TV station, Asia Television, also recently announced that it will enter the e-commerce live broadcast business on June 6, 2023. The official said that it will use its own brand influence and celebrity resources to cooperate with major platforms such as Douyin. This move seems to the outside world to be imitating TVB live broadcast.

Although Asia Television’s official account on Douyin has not yet officially started broadcasting, it does not affect its popularity with capital. Affected by this news, on June 7, Asia Television Holdings opened sharply higher by nearly 14%, reporting at HK$0.082, with a total market value of HK$900 million.

Content transformation of Taobao Live

Whether it is TVB's Hong Kong drama-style live broadcast or Dragon TV's Shanghai-style live broadcast, behind the frequent use of sentimental cards is Taobao's urgent transformation of live broadcasts into content-based ones.

Since Wei Ya and Xue Li left the show one after another, and Li Jiaqi stopped broadcasting, Taobao Live, which was already lacking in traffic, has suffered a lot of damage.

According to Cass data, based on the experience of other platforms, if top anchors like Wei Ya and Li Jiaqi stop broadcasting, the traffic generated by these top anchors is expected to be dispersed to other live broadcast rooms, thus presenting a scene of "a hundred schools of thought contending." However, the reality is not like this. In the days without Wei Ya and Li Jiaqi, their fans did not enter other live broadcast rooms on Diantao (including celebrity live broadcast rooms), but were diverted to off-site platforms.

Taobao is not sitting still. In order to solve the traffic problem, in September last year, at the Taobao Live Ceremony, Taobao Live announced that it had entered a "new content era." Cheng Daofang, general manager of Taobao's live broadcast business group, explained, "Many people used to have the impression of e-commerce live broadcasts as 'hawking'. We have clearly defined the new value proposition of Taobao's content, which is 'professional and interesting people will guide you to buy'."

The logic behind Taobao Live's content transformation is that "Taobao Live is essentially an e-commerce company. The logic of e-commerce is not to generate traffic but to consume it. Once it is consumed, there must be a source of traffic." For the platform, good content can provide A steady stream of traffic is evident from the rapid rise of Douyin e-commerce, which relies on the huge traffic pool of short videos.

Under this decision, Taobao e-commerce made adjustments on the platform side. First, the platform traffic allocation mechanism was changed from "transaction" to "transaction + content" dual indicators, clarifying a new path from "content planting to transaction explosion". Live broadcast rooms with good content and high conversion rates will receive more public traffic.

The other is to realize the connection of all fields to the public domain, and officially connect live broadcast with first guess, shopping, search, good goods, and order shopping. This will not only expand the traffic of the platform, but also help merchants and brands reach more consumers.

Taobao Live’s efforts in content are also reflected in the competition for anchors with personal characteristics from other platforms.

A representative example is that last year's Double 11, Luo Yonghao and Yu Minhong led the team to Taobao, and "Make a Friend" and "Oriental Selection" both completed their live broadcast debuts on Douyin and gradually became the live broadcast benchmark on the Douyin platform. In addition, Douyin anchors Yili Xiaoshazi, Cheng Shian, Nian Gao Mama, etc. also chose to participate in Taobao live broadcast.

Not only that, this year, Taobao has launched fancy live broadcasts. In addition to introducing TVB's "Hong Kong drama-style live broadcast" and Dragon TV's "Shanghai-style live broadcast", there are also weird sayings such as "open bar live broadcast" and hip-hop "battle style delivery". ”, The Voice of China’s “concert style delivery”, etc.

Shanghai: A Melting Pot of Tradition and Modernity

Shanghai: A Melting Pot of Tradition and Modernity Shanghai, often referred to as the “Paris of the East,” is a city that beautifully blends tradition and modernity. This article explores how Shanghai’s rich history and rapid modernization coexist, creating a unique cultural landscape.To get more news about shanghai, you can visit citynewsservice.cn official website.

One of the most iconic symbols of Shanghai’s traditional culture is its architecture. The cityscape is dotted with ancient temples, traditional shikumen houses, and historic buildings that tell tales of the city’s past. Yet, these structures stand alongside modern skyscrapers and futuristic buildings, creating a striking contrast.

Shanghai’s culinary scene is another testament to this blend of old and new. The city is famous for its traditional street food, such as xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and shengjianbao (pan-fried buns). However, it also boasts a thriving fine dining scene, with numerous Michelin-starred restaurants offering international cuisines.

The city’s art scene also reflects this fusion of tradition and modernity. Traditional Chinese art forms like calligraphy, painting, and opera are celebrated and preserved in various museums and cultural institutions. Simultaneously, contemporary art galleries and events showcase the works of emerging artists, reflecting the city’s progressive artistic spirit.

Shanghai’s fashion industry is another area where tradition meets modernity. The city is home to numerous fashion designers who draw inspiration from traditional Chinese aesthetics while incorporating contemporary trends. This unique fashion sense has put Shanghai on the global fashion map.

Despite its rapid modernization, Shanghai has managed to preserve its cultural heritage. The city government has implemented various measures to protect historic buildings and promote traditional arts. These efforts ensure that Shanghai’s rich cultural heritage continues to thrive amidst its modern development.

However, this blend of tradition and modernity also presents challenges. Rapid urbanization has led to the displacement of residents in historic neighborhoods. Balancing development with preservation is a complex issue that the city continues to grapple with.

In conclusion, Shanghai is a city where tradition and modernity coexist in harmony. Its unique blend of ancient culture and modern development creates a vibrant and dynamic cityscape. As Shanghai continues to evolve, it remains committed to preserving its cultural heritage while embracing the opportunities of the future.
