Andy Lau performs a different "killer"

When we interviewed Rao Xiaozhi, the director of "The Crowd", we asked him what the opportunity was to invite Andy Lau to play the killer Zhouquan. Rao said that when the character of Zhouquan became clearer and clearer in the book, he felt that it should be Andy Lau, and he did not need any foreshadowing. "He just stands there." The simple and straightforward answer, after thinking about it, felt extremely reasonable and appropriate. From Andy to Brother Hua, the growth is only age, hard work, self-discipline, seriousness, diligence, and consistency. Andy Lau did a lot for "The Crowd", connecting with various theaters by phone to request more film arrangements, opening a Douyin account to live stream with director Rao Xiaozhi… Due to work reasons, he could not accept face-to-face interviews in the mainland, and the Lau team returned to the video interview material extremely efficiently. Andy Lau answered all the questions in our interview outline, without avoiding or perfunctory. The team carefully used dual cameras to shoot this interview. Andy Lau occasionally looked at the camera, his eyes clear and bright, his words sincere, his state stretched, and his style of talking and laughing remained the same. After more than 40 years of filming, even though he is now an honorary person, he said that no matter what the script is, it is a challenge for me, and every movie is equally difficult.

Q

A

ICONSPRO: Can you introduce the movie "The Crowd" to everyone?

Andy Lau:The movie "Crowd" is actually about two different people who exchange their lives. I was a killer in the movie, and because of an accident, I exchanged lives with Xiao Yang, and I became an extra actor, which is a very wonderful movie.

ICONSPRO: Have you seen the previous works of Director Rao Xiaozhi? What are your thoughts on this collaboration?

Andy Lau:This time, in fact, this script has been coming down, and I have heard that this work is brewing in the market. I have never known that the director Rao did it. I have seen "Hello Crazy" and "No Name". I really appreciate that he has a different world in the movie, and I really want to enter his world to see it. Then this time it was very good, he found me to act in this play, and I was very happy. I quickly agreed to perform like this.

ICONSPRO: What motivated you to take on this film? What was the most appealing part of the script?

Andy Lau:I took this movie entirely because of his talent. Of course, I like Wan Qian, Xiao Yang, Xiao Lei, and many other actors, but if you want me to give a reason, it’s because of the director’s talent.

ICONSPRO: Zhou Quan is a killer who has lost his memory and switched identities with others. What do you think is the most challenging aspect of this role?

Andy Lau:I think no matter what the script is, it is a challenge for me, because we don’t care if I played Leiluo 25 years ago, and I play it again today, in fact, I can present a different role, so I’m not saying whether the script is difficult or not, but I think I can present a certain kind of Andy Lau under the director’s world. This is my biggest difficulty, but I think every movie has the same difficulty.

ICONSPRO: The biggest feature of a remake is that the audience will lose curiosity about the local version because they have seen the original. Would you consider adding some special designs to attract the audience?

Andy Lau:Each of us has been a parent, and there are many people in this world. He has also acted. He has also been a father, and he has also been a father. Then I watched the original Japanese ones, and I also watched the Korean ones. Their world, their family, are presented differently in different fields or in different countries. I think the director put a lot of local jokes this time, and it is the kind of taste that we are very Chinese. I think this is completely. I don’t know why the director will present this world. I think it is different from anything except the plot. There is no way to say which part of it we have borrowed from. It is either Japanese or Korean. Now a completely new world is presented in front of all the audiences.

ICONSPRO: Xiao Yang said in an interview that Andy Lau can give people a sense of security. What do you think of this evaluation? Where does the sense of security between actors and actresses come from?

Andy Lau:First of all, I think Xiao Yang, thank you for your evaluation of me, security, I think this is your trust, found in me, in fact, as long as you believe in people, no matter who the other party is, as long as you believe, the world will be safe. So you will choose some people you believe in, work together or live together. This kind of security is not given to him by me, but if you believe in me, I have it. If you don’t believe in me, I don’t have it.

ICONSPRO: It’s the first time to work with Vance, but how can you break the ice quickly if you want to shoot an emotional scene?

Andy Lau:I have been acting for 40 years, and every play will have a heroine, and then every play will have a relationship. Every time I do it, I have found many ways to tell myself what is good about her and what moves me before filming, so no matter which movie it is, when the heroine appears, I will naturally communicate with him or fall in love. It is completely natural, but there is no way, just love with your heart.

ICONSPRO: Collaborating with the mainland creative team again, do you think your Mandarin has improved again?

Andy Lau:First of all, I think everyone really misunderstood a little bit. In the past, from "Ambush on All Sides", many of my movies were made with my voice, and I performed them in Mandarin, so I don’t know why everyone thought this time, wow, that’s weird, why? In fact, three or four years ago, I played "The Bomb Locker", and the people who were released thought that my Mandarin was not so worth using my voice, so I replaced my voice and found someone else to do it. That may be due to those distribution habits, such as "Lost Orphan" is also my voice. (In "The Bomb Locker") I played with Ni Ni and I spoke Mandarin, so this will not affect my performance. There may be some pronunciations in the middle that are mine, especially one of Andy Lau’s Mandarin, but I basically use my voice in many movies, and I rarely match it. "The Great Wall" is mine in English and Mandarin, and Mandarin is mine.

ICONSPRO: Xiao Yang said that she was slapped 33 times in the face and 11 times in the face. Do you have any pressure to shoot similar scenes?

Andy Lau:Of course there will be. Before I filmed this scene, I already told the director that because of his scene, I can’t have a single word wrong in all the dialogue, because he was talking about the dialogue written in the whole book, so I can’t be wrong, not a single word wrong. The reason why there are so many (slaps) in the middle is because I may not be used to it. For example, I have used "character". I have been talking about "character" for more than 50 years, and now I suddenly changed "character", so I am not used to it. In fact, I am quite stressed. This is the scene I feel the most guilty about in the whole scene. Really Xiao Yang, I really shouldn’t have been beaten so much, but my command of Mandarin is not so flexible, so I’m sorry.

ICONSPRO: You have won the best actor in the heavyweight film festival many times. In the field of film, are there any awards you want to work hard to win?

Andy Lau:I am a very casual actor. From the very first day, everyone may think that Andy Lau needs any awards or whatever. In fact, I am the most indifferent. Whether I play well or not, I understand it myself. With it, I won’t feel how good I am, and without it, I won’t feel that I am not good at acting, so I feel that I am responsible in the world. Maybe if I want to participate in those awards in different parts of the world, or some film festivals, I just hope to bring Chinese films to the world and let the world know. In addition to some art films and action films, we can also have some commercial blockbusters in the market, and we can also make everyone feel that in addition to business, it contains the most traditional Chinese wisdom. I hope to bring our Chinese films to every corner of the world, not really. I want to win awards in different parts of the world.

ICONSPRO: And finally, a word for the Amway audience coming into the theater to watch "The Crowd."

Andy Lau:First of all, let me tell you that "The Crowd" is a very good movie, and it is a movie with its own character and image. I hope you go in and feel that as long as you work hard, no one can beat you. This is the most important point of our play. Hope you enjoy "The Crowd".

　　Recently, the military movie "Wolf Warriors 2" starring the famous actor Jason Wu was released simultaneously in China and the United States. When the film was "a great success" in the China film market, and the box office revenue was "leaping forward" and became a hot topic at present, American film audiences, especially Chinese audiences and film professionals, also gave a wide-ranging discussion and praise to this China film.

　　1. Being sought after has a high attendance rate.

　　During the production of Wolf Warriors 2, many American actors and producers joined in, so the film producer specially held a film premiere conference in Los Angeles, USA. The father of Celina Jade, the leading actress of the film, also made a special trip to the scene to attend the film premiere, and expressed his pride in his daughter’s performance in Wolf Warriors 2.

　　According to media reports here, "Wolf Warriors 2" was shown in 53 cinemas in the United States, which attracted many audiences, most of whom were Chinese. No matter in Washington, new york in the east, or in Los Angeles, San Francisco and other areas with more Chinese residents in the west, Wolf Warriors 2 is sought after and has a high attendance rate. Most of the audience who saw the film expressed their appreciation for it. Due to the limited number of cinemas and screenings, many cinemas are full, and the phenomenon of "one ticket is hard to find" in popular hours also appears from time to time.

　　According to the reporter’s understanding, when "Wolf Warriors 2" was shown in an AMC cinema in gaithersburg, Maryland, the auditorium was almost full of audiences, most of whom were Chinese, but also some American audiences. Many Chinese audiences praised the excellent production level of China films at present, and were moved to tears by the scenes of China passport at the end of the film. Some even took out their mobile phones to shoot the picture of China passport at the end of the film. After the film, many people applauded. Some old overseas Chinese said that the more you are overseas, the more you can understand the meaning of patriotism. Such films provide a good opportunity for overseas Chinese to enhance their national pride.

　　On social media, there is no lack of hot discussion about Wolf Warriors 2. China Universal Television Network, a subsidiary of CCTV, reported in English that "Wolf Warriors 2" won $127 million in the first week of its release and became the global box office champion. The reporter noted that the official Twitter of the East Asia and Pacific Affairs Bureau in the State Council, USA, paid attention to the news. Even many American scholars, who usually pay attention to observing the political and economic relations between China and the United States, are interested in this phenomenal film in China.

　　Among the netizens who leave messages on social media, there are both Chinese viewers and many American netizens. An American netizen said that it was a "China Rambo" film and it was a success. The netizen also affirmed the performances of the film starring Jason Wu and Celina Jade, and thought that the role played by Jason Wu had extraordinary charm, and Celina Jade also better interpreted the image of a hero doctor.

　　2. American media are scrambling to report.

　　Wolf Warriors 2 has become the most popular movie in China at present, which naturally attracts the attention of American media. On August 8th, CNN published an article entitled "Patriotic War Films Break China Box Office Record", focusing on the patriotic feelings shown in the film. The article said that in 2015, Jason Wu directed and starred in Wolf Warriors 1, which earned 80 million dollars at the box office. In contrast, Wolf Warriors 2 is more successful because it captures the patriotic complex of the audience. The article also quoted Jason Wu as saying in an interview with CCTV: "People all know Tom Cruise and Arnold Schwarzenegger, why can’t we have an actor representing China?" The article especially mentions the China passport and subtitles displayed at the end of the film — — "People’s Republic of China (PRC) citizens, when you are in danger overseas, don’t give up! Please remember that behind you, there is a strong motherland! "

　　美国主流媒体《洛杉矶时报》近日刊载名为《〈战狼2〉将成为中国最卖座的电影》的文章，对该片进行了点评。文章开头写道：中国爱国主义动作电影《战狼2》在中国的票房总收入已经超越了美国好莱坞电影《速度与激情8》，成为中国本年度最卖座的电影。该文指出，《战狼2》在票房上取得的巨大成功是罕见的，因为中国电影通常在年末或中国春节档期才会出现“票房大卖”的局面。

　　《洛杉矶时报》的另一篇文章则从社会文化的角度对《战狼2》进行了分析。文章指出，相比于娱乐元素，该影片表现出的中美之间的文化差异，或许更能够成为吸引美国观众的重要原因。对于美国观众来说，从一个相反的社会政治视角审视这部类似好莱坞式制作的影片是有趣的事情。文章进一步说，尽管《战狼2》这部影片并无特别之处，但它在爱国情结上却令人振奋。在其情节设定中，中国竭尽全力维护贫穷弱小国家的利益，而世界上其他国家却只是在利用这些贫穷弱小国家。该文强调，这部影片对美国观众有启发意义的是，观众必须承认，过去他们从好莱坞大片中经常能看到类似的人物设定，只不过这一次英雄和反派的位置作了交换，美国人并不永远都是美国队长那样的正面形象。

　　The Hollywood Reporter, a professional film media, wrote in its review of Wolf Warriors 2: Compared with Wolf Warriors 1, Wolf Warriors 2 has more grand production and bolder innovation. Although this is not always beneficial to the film, for fans who like this type of film, the well-designed scene arrangement and shocking effect of the film will definitely leave a deep impression on them. In addition, many American media affirmed the grand scenes and special effects of such an adventure film as Wolf Warriors 2. Not only that, the American media also believe that the strong interest is also a major feature of the film.

　　3. Patriotism is the common ground of movies in different countries.

　　Analyzing the success of "Wolf Warriors 2", what attracts the audience most is the patriotic feelings shown in the film, among which Maotai, the national wine, and the bridge section of Beijing Jeep are most talked about by the audience. The China passport and touching subtitles at the end of the film make every Chinese son and daughter excited.

　　While the audience applauded, the film was a hit, and the media praised it, some foreign media also made a strange argument, saying that the popularity of Wolf Warriors 2 was due to promoting patriotism and catering to the current wave of nationalism in China. Obviously, this argument is an overreaction with "colored glasses". Anyone who knows or has seen the film knows that the story is similar to China’s evacuation of overseas Chinese in a certain place in Africa in recent years, showing the elegance and patriotic feelings of China soldiers. What’s more, promoting patriotism is not the unique feature of Wolf Warriors 2 or China films. In contrast, Hollywood films in the United States have a longer history and are more skillful in promoting American patriotism.

　　As early as World War II, professionals in the American army began to study the role of military films in boosting soldiers’ morale. Commercial films specific to the United States seem to be far from political reality. In fact, many Hollywood blockbusters preach the "American spirit" to the whole world from different angles. American classic films, such as Pearl Harbor, Top Gun, Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down and Hacksaw Ridge, which are familiar to the audience, all promote American patriotism. In addition to promoting patriotism, American military movies also highlight the heroic, affectionate and righteous American soldiers, and shape their image of bravely fighting evil forces and saving all the people from fire and water. Many films even acted as "propaganda films" of the US military.

　　One of the most typical examples is the inspirational film Top Gun, which was all the rage in 1980s and starred by Tom Cruise. This film, called "American Recruitment Propaganda Film", was strongly supported by the US military behind the scenes. The US Navy provided F-14 fighters used by several squadrons and several active pilots for the film. In addition to advanced fighters, aircraft carriers such as the US carl vinson also appeared in the film. Such a powerful hardware lineup is also costly. We must know that the flight cost of the F-14 fighter is not low. At that time, the cost of aviation fuel alone was as high as $7,000 per hour. This shows that the US military spared no effort in shooting this film. Through the interpretation of the film, the audience can enjoy the magnificent scene of first-class fighters galloping in the blue sky and white clouds and pilots chasing each other in the "eagle". This film not only makes military fans and ordinary audiences addicted, but also makes great contributions to the conscription work in the United States. According to statistics, after the film was broadcast, the US Navy ushered in the highest enlistment rate after World War II.

　　In recent years, Hollywood sci-fi military films have become the "new favorites" of the US military to promote patriotism and display new weapons. "Transformers" series movies have been a great success at the box office, and behind its light, it is inseparable from the help of the US military. "I am the only director who is allowed to make a film in the Pentagon." "Transformers" director michael bay once said in an interview with the media. In fact, since the filming of Transformed king kong 2, michael bay has been working closely with the Pentagon. Michael bay needs equipment such as large military transport planes, fighter planes and even aircraft carriers to make films, which is impossible without military support. The American army needs to work with Hollywood to promote the latest weapons and the image of the army, and both sides need what they want. When Transformers 5 arrives, the scene shown in the movie is almost a "joint military exercise" of the three armed forces of the United States. In the film, the cool American military equipment all appeared, and V-22 Osprey transport aircraft, MH-53 heavy helicopter, F-22 Raptor fighter, Ali Burke-class destroyer, etc., made a splash. In addition, in "Transformers 5", the superior combat capability of American soldiers and the global combat concept of the US military have also been fully exerted.

　　Some film critics pointed out that while the audience was addicted to their eyes, their goodwill towards the US military and their pride in the country were invisibly improved. Facts have proved that the films produced by the "strong alliance" between Hollywood and the US military not only captured the market, but also captured the hearts of fans. In this regard, those foreign media wearing "colored glasses" kept their mouths shut, but they just didn’t like Wolf Warriors 2. Perhaps this explains the success of Wolf Warriors 2 from one side. In fact, advocating patriotism is the common tone of many national films. Wolf Warriors 2 is just the latest phenomenal film in China, and its success in the American film market shows that the audience recognizes the China story it tells.

Analysis of Business Model of Beauty Collection Store

Market development background of beauty cosmetics collection store

Under the background of Yan value economy, the market scale of cosmetics industry has grown steadily.

The "14th Five-Year Plan" defined the brand creation action of China, and proposed to protect and develop Chinese time-honored brands, enhance the influence and competitiveness of independent brands, and take the lead in cultivating high-end brands belonging to China in the consumer fields such as cosmetics, clothing, home textiles and electronic products. The future development prospects of the cosmetics industry can be expected. In 2020, China’s cosmetics market will reach 430.3 billion yuan. In the next three years, the overall market size is expected to maintain a stable and sustained growth of about 10% after the epidemic is repaired, and it will reach 600 billion yuan in 2023. As the largest category in the cosmetics industry, skin care products will account for about 55% of the market in 2020, and the growth rate will tend to be stable; In contrast, cosmetics, perfumes, men’s cosmetics and other sub-categories have greater growth potential.

The domestic cosmetics supply chain has gradually matured.

The upstream of the cosmetics industry chain mainly includes raw material suppliers and cosmetics manufacturers who produce cosmetics raw materials and packaging materials. Cosmetic manufacturers mainly adopt two modes: independent production and OEM production. Most cosmetics companies don’t have independent production lines, and usually entrust foundries to produce finished cosmetics. Among them, new domestic brands adopt OEM mode for the sake of cost and new product listing efficiency. The rapid expansion of the cosmetics market and the rise of local brands have promoted the development of the domestic cosmetics OEM market. In recent years, with the gradual maturity of China’s cosmetics supply chain, head cosmetics foundries such as Northbell, Cosmeishi China and Shanghai Zhenchen have cooperated closely with many brands at home and abroad, and the market entry threshold of cutting-edge cosmetics brands has continued to decline.

Domestic cosmetics retail online and offline show a trend of integration, promoting the development of beauty collection stores.

In 1990s, international high-end cosmetics brands represented by L ‘Oré al and Lancome entered the China market, taking department store counters as the main channel, which gradually cultivated domestic residents’ awareness of cosmetics consumption and promoted the establishment of marketing awareness of domestic cosmetics industry. Around 2000, a group of regional distributors of foreign brands familiar with cosmetics operation skills began to establish their own domestic brands, and the embryonic forms of classic domestic products such as Marubi, Zirantang and Polaiya were born, which led to the development of traditional beauty collection stores with lower threshold and wider distribution. Around 2012, the growth rate of cosmetics industry was dragged down by weak macro demand, and the competition in offline channels intensified. Domestic and international brands touched the net one after another, and they developed with the help of two waves of dividends from traditional e-commerce and new media e-commerce. However, in recent years, with the high operating cost of e-commerce, the online traffic dividend has declined, high-end products have driven the counter-cyclical growth of the cosmetics industry, and the value of offline channels in terms of user experience and brand building has once again been valued. The channels have shown a trend of online and offline integration, and new beauty collection stores have emerged, driving the beauty collection store channel generate to show new growth vitality.

The Driving Force for the Development of New Beauty Collection Store: Client

Consumer demand of new generation beauty users: pursuing scene experience

The business areas of offline channels such as beauty collection stores are mainly large business districts, which provide consumers with comprehensive and diverse cosmetic products through rich brand structure and product levels while satisfying convenience. On-site trial can help consumers fully feel the products in a one-stop shopping scene, and make purchase decisions that best meet their personal needs, and its strong experience attributes far exceed online channels. According to the survey data, nearly 70% of consumers choose to buy cosmetic products offline because they want to try them on the spot. Specifically, in terms of product categories, cosmetic tools, cosmetics and skin care products have the highest willingness to buy offline, and more than 90% of consumers have tried and bought these products offline. In addition, the offline purchase intention of perfume fragrance and sunscreen products has reached more than 80%.

Consumer demand of new generation beauty users: high acceptance of domestic products

Multiple factors, such as consumption upgrading and the rise of national tide, have jointly promoted the rise of local beauty brands. Many new brands have opened the market with product innovation and diversified marketing models, and achieved breakthroughs under the long-term strong brand effect of international brands. The new generation of beauty consumers, mainly young people, have a higher acceptance of new things, have a more personalized evaluation system in the choice of beauty consumption, are not obsessed with big names, and pay more attention to face value, efficacy, reputation and cost performance. According to the survey data, consumers have a high acceptance of domestic brands, and the proportion of consumers who tend to buy domestic traditional brands and emerging brands is over 40%. Another 34.3% of consumers have no obvious preference for domestic and foreign brands, and pay more attention to whether the products themselves are suitable for them.

Consumer demand of new generation beauty users: market gap of "sample economy"

Beauty product samples can make consumers invest lower trial and error costs when fully trying new brands or new products, and it is easier to make purchase decisions, so they can play a greater role in attracting new users and promoting formal dress purchase, and become an important marketing contact for brands. Samples usually reach consumers in the form of brand gifts and holiday suits, and there are few formal channels to sell samples separately in the market. The new beauty collection store captures the demand of the new generation of beauty users for sample products, and sells them as independent products in the store, which can not only attract passengers, but also generate revenue. According to the survey data, users who spend 300-500 yuan per month on cosmetics are most likely to be attracted by the samples, and then go to the new beauty collection store for consumption.

The driving factor of the development of new beauty collection store: brand end

Demand for offline channel expansion of emerging beauty brands: high operating cost of online traffic

The domestic e-commerce industry has entered a stage of rapid growth since 2010. With the mature development of e-commerce, more and more businesses are pouring into the online market, traffic competition is becoming increasingly fierce, e-commerce dividends are gradually declining, and market growth is slowing down. At present, the online platform channels are diversified, and the distribution of consumers is decentralized and the e-commerce traffic is fragmented, which makes it more difficult to obtain customers. Beauty brands, especially domestic emerging beauty brands, have been able to rise rapidly through online channels in recent years, but at the same time, they are faced with the problems of high online traffic cost and continuous increase in marketing and promotion expenses. Expanding offline sales channels and reaching consumers in multiple dimensions will become a breakthrough for beauty brands to achieve long-term development. The new beauty collection store provides a tonal matching channel for emerging beauty brands, which increases brand exposure. At the same time, on the basis of sales, it empowers the brand operation value of the channel. For example, H.E.A.T likes to provide data feedback for the brand, helping the brand to intuitively understand the consumer’s preferences and needs.

Demand for offline channel expansion of emerging beauty brands: the cost of opening independent stores offline is high.

With the rising real estate prices and labor costs in recent years, the cost of facade rent and employee expenses of single-brand beauty stores has increased, and domestic emerging beauty brands have taken on higher operational risks, especially in the initial stage of development and market grabbing. The channel model of beauty collection stores is conducive to reducing the pressure on funds, inventory and operation of emerging beauty brands. For overseas brands, the sales of brands in China are mainly based on the distribution agent model, and department stores or independent stores are mostly located in first-and second-tier cities. The distribution of offline channels in low-tier cities requires fixed costs and labor costs borne by dealers. The model of brand counters or independent stores is risky in the sinking market, and it is relatively difficult to reach. The model of beauty collection stores can alleviate the account period and inventory pressure of dealers to a certain extent, and at the same time meet the demand of consumers for overseas brands in the sinking market.

Demand for offline channel expansion of emerging beauty brands: traditional beauty collection stores have high entry barriers.

The purchasing mode of traditional beauty collection stores in China mainly includes consignment and distribution: under the consignment mode, the beauty collection stores adopt actual sales and settlement, and the goods are delivered directly by the brand; Under the distribution mode, the beauty collection store signed a batch sales order with the brand, and the ownership of the goods actually transferred. The traditional beauty collection store has obvious advantages in supply chain, stable channel sales, strong voice, high proportion of consignment mode, sales risk borne by the brand, and relatively long account period. At the same time, the traditional beauty collection store has a certain threshold for the purchase choice of emerging beauty brands because of the consideration of marketing. The purchase mode of new beauty collection stores is mainly one-time buyout, and the account period and supply discount are more friendly to the new brands of the country. On the other hand, the entry of new explosive products attracts consumers to the store, and also brings passenger flow to the new beauty collection store, realizing two-way empowerment.

The Driving Force for the Development of New Beauty Collection Store: Capital End

Players in the new beauty collection store have been favored by capital many times.

The format of the new beauty collection store keeps up with the changes in the new offline retail scene, and has become a "flow harvester" in major business districts with its strong appeal to young consumers. Therefore, it has received great attention from capital and has been frequently financed in recent years. Among them, Colorist, Plum Blossom and WOWCOLOUR have received several rounds of financing, and the financing scale has reached several hundred million yuan; In addition, rising stars such as NoisyBeauty, Hi Burning and Black Hole have also won the favor of well-known investment institutions such as Gaochun Venture Capital and Zhenge Fund. With the help of capital, the new beauty collection store industry has entered the stage of staking.

Market scale of beauty cosmetics collection store

The overall scale of the industry has grown steadily, and the proportion of new beauty collection stores has increased.

With the advantages of multi-brand operation and location close to consumers, the beauty collection store channel can help cooperative brands to effectively explore the market. Watsons, which is positioned in the mass market, and Sephora, which is positioned in the middle and high-end market, have gradually become the mainstream of domestic traditional beauty collection stores after years of deep cultivation, and their chain stores in China have driven the growth of the market scale of traditional beauty collection stores. Since 2019, domestic new beauty collection stores have started to develop, and innovative brands represented by colorists and plum blossoms have emerged one after another, which has had a certain impact on traditional beauty collection stores. At present, the new beauty collection store industry is in transition from the embryonic stage to the stable development stage. In 2020, the domestic new beauty collection store will account for 7.6% of the total beauty collection store market, and its market share is expected to increase to 15.8% in 2023, and the market size is expected to reach 13 billion yuan.

Industry atlas of beauty cosmetics collection shop

The beauty collection store industry is scattered and there are many players.

The head players of traditional beauty collection stores mainly include Watsons, a chain brand of beauty cosmetics and daily chemicals, and Sephora, which focuses on high-end selected brands in Europe and America and its own brands. The new beauty collection store is represented by the colorist under KK Group, WOWCOLOUR under the famous products and the plum originated from online. Colorists and WOWCOLOUR focus on cost-effective domestic and foreign beauty brands, opening hundreds of stores all over the country; Huamei and Heikong mainly sell overseas big-name and niche brands, positioning high-end, and mainly opening street stores in first-tier and new first-tier cities. Other players’ stores are more regional and smaller in scale, and their brand positioning is different. NOISYBeauty, Dongdian West Point and other players cut into the track from the sinking market.

Beauty cosmetics jihe branch industry concentration degree

Many players in beauty collection stores adopt differentiated strategies to cut into the market, and the industry tends to be integrated.

Players in the beauty collection store industry can be divided according to players’ background, brand positioning and store area. In the background of players, it can be divided into independent new brands, retail brand incubation and department store incubation, and the beauty collection stores incubated by the group may be supported in terms of capital and supply chain; In terms of brand positioning and store area, the brand stores located in the high-end niche are mainly large stores, while the players located in the cost-effective and sinking market mainly operate medium-sized stores. In terms of industry structure, the traditional beauty collection store industry developed earlier and the market concentration was higher, while the new beauty collection store is still in a period of rapid development. In the future, head players are expected to gradually increase their market share through industry integration.

Core competitive elements of new beauty cosmetics collection store

The core competitive advantages of the new beauty collection store are embodied in three aspects: people, goods and market

In order to maintain benign operation and enhance differentiated advantages, the new beauty collection store needs to optimize the service quality and professionalism of the store BA in terms of "people", and requires the management team to be forward-looking in important decisions such as selecting products and opening stores. In terms of "goods", the new beauty collection store needs to match the consumer’s demand preferences to the greatest extent in brand selection, and enhance the interaction with consumers through diversified marketing activities; Improve the supply chain capacity and quality, ensure the regularity of goods, improve the turnover efficiency and control the inventory water level. In terms of "field", new beauty collection stores are usually located in popular areas with dense traffic in key cities, while paying attention to convenient transportation and location in business districts, such as subway floors, escalators or the most conspicuous places near entrances and exits; The decoration style in the store has a strong sense of design, and at the same time, the long-term appeal to consumers is enhanced through regular adjustment of decoration and shelves.

Prospect of the future trend of beauty cosmetics collection store

Long-term challenge of new beauty cosmetics collection store

The long-term profit model needs to be verified: low customer unit price and low efficiency.

At the same time of large-scale expansion, the long-term profitability of the new beauty collection store still needs to be verified by the market, and its uncertainty is reflected in many aspects: in terms of passenger flow scale, the new beauty collection store attracts the first batch of young consumers in the city to punch in with its design-conscious store decoration and novel scene experience, but after the novelty gradually ebbs, it still needs stores to give full play to their advantages in product selection to maintain the sustainability of passenger flow; In terms of pallet structure, stores may optimize the store model by increasing the proportion of high-margin products such as cosmetics, niche brands and exclusive agency brands, but it is still uncertain whether the low-margin products and the passenger flow attracted by samples can be converted into the purchasing power of high-margin products; In terms of expenses, the location of new beauty collection stores is usually located at no cost to attract passengers and make positioning. The high rental cost for this purpose is also one of the main reasons for the low efficiency and difficulty in making profits.

Price advantage impact of other channels such as online and duty-free shops.

According to the survey data, 42.2% of the consumers who choose to shop in the new beauty collection store said that one of the main reasons is that the product prices of the new beauty collection store are cheaper than those of department stores and online official stores. Compared with the official channels where there are few discounts except shopping festivals and live broadcast rooms, the price of the new beauty collection store does have certain advantages intuitively. However, the rise of the domestic duty-free market has a certain impact on the price advantage of new beauty collection stores, even without considering the activities such as sample giving and point redemption through official channels. Take HARMAY as an example. The retail price of 30ml Hailan Mystery Essence Cream is 1292 yuan, which is 15% off the official price, while Sanya International Duty Free City is priced at only 1180 yuan. Due to the great difference in pricing between international brands at home and abroad, the pricing of Taobao Haitao purchasing stores is mostly around 800 yuan. In contrast, the price advantage of the new beauty collection store is not obvious, and it is difficult to attract price-sensitive consumers for a long time.

The opaque supply of goods and the stricter regulatory environment will make the continuous supply of products face uncertainty.

At present, the supply channels of new beauty collection stores in China mainly include: 1) purchasing in large quantities through department store counters, usually obtaining some price discounts and tying a large number of samples; 2) through the purchase of dealers or agents, merchants specializing in wholesale samples have also been formed in the process of industry development; 3) Secondary sales of large hotels, mainly care and fragrance products; 4) A small number of beauty collection stores are authorized by brands to directly purchase products, which are mainly authorized by small and medium-sized overseas brands and domestic brands, and most products are not directly authorized by brands. In addition, some new beauty collection stores take sample products as an important drainage method, which has the problem of opaque supply. With the introduction of relevant national regulatory policies and the requirements of retail platform specifications, beauty collection stores with samples as their selling points may adjust their procurement channels, and there is some uncertainty in the continuous supply of products.

Future trends of new beauty cosmetics collection stores

The operation mechanism of the big store model is healthier

At present, the operation types of new beauty collection stores in China mainly include small stores and big stores. Small-store model is conducive to expanding the market in the early stage, but the speed of opening stores is too fast, and there is a mismatch between the customer quality of some stores and the positioning of new beauty collection stores, especially in the case of limited brand building and supply chain management capabilities, consumers are not sticky enough, which affects the sales and profitability of stores and leads to the closure of stores. Comparatively speaking, the location of large stores with an area of 500 square meters or even more than 1,000 square meters is usually the landmark core business district of the city. The business district has its own high passenger flow, rich SKUs in stores, better shopping scene design experience, better floor efficiency performance of stores, and it is not easy to close stores. The "one city, one store" big store model will become an important development direction of the new beauty collection store industry in the future.

Category and brand structure tend to be diversified, and the pallet structure is optimized.

The early product layout of domestic new beauty collection stores mainly focused on make-up, which attracted consumers to enter the store to try on makeup and achieved the purpose of drainage. However, cosmetic products generally have a long use cycle and low consumption frequency, which affects product repurchase. According to the survey data, only 15.8% of users said that they bought makeup most frequently in different categories of cosmetics, while the proportion of users who chose to buy skin care products most frequently was as high as 60.1%. As a fast-growing category, the domestic demand of perfume is gradually increasing, which makes the selection strategy of new beauty collection stores inclined. The new beauty collection store will gradually adjust the category structure and increase the proportion of skin care products and perfume products. In terms of brand types, the new beauty collection store has relatively strong bargaining power and higher gross profit for domestic cutting-edge brands and overseas niche brands, and will become the future development direction of the new beauty collection store.

Hangzhou next door is out of plums today. Is Shanghai this year?

Today is another day of "full heat". At 12 o’clock in the Shanghai Central Meteorological Observatory, a high -temperature yellow warning signal: Affected by the high pressure of the Western Pacific subtropical high pressure, it is expected that the highest temperature in the central urban area, Jiading, Minhang, Qingpu, Songjiang, Pudong, and Baoshan will exceed 35 ° C.

In the case of one, since June 22nd to today, there have been 3 high temperature days in Shanghai. According to the data released by the Shanghai Central Meteorological Observatory, the next week, Shencheng will also be on the edge of a subtropical high pressure. The highest temperature frequently impacts the high temperature line of 35 ° C, which is a week when the heat wave rolled.

Not only that, the good rainfall is going to "let the pigeons"! Dr. Rui Rui, the chief service officer of the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau, said that at present, the rain belt of Jiangnan will be lifted north next week, and the distance between the north is still very high. I am afraid that the rainfall next week will drift away again.

Why is Meiyu so "weird" this year? High temperature+rainy rain, is it the legendary "dry yellow plum"? In fact, in meteorology, there is no saying of "dry Huangmei". Similarly, the nouns such as "plum" and "empty plum". Wu Rui explained that this year’s Meiyu is "atypical Meiyu". Because the Jiangnan rain belt this year is relatively south, Shanghai is on the edge of the rain belt during this time. Over the city, Shencheng came to the control of the subtropical high pressure, and it was sunny and hot.

In the sense of meteorology, there is no "dry Huangmei", only "withered plum" and "empty plum". Wu Rui introduced that "withered plum" refers to the rainy date and the amount of precipitation on the rainy day, and when the rainfall is more than half lower than in previous years, it is called "withered plum"; Few, only a few times.

Hangzhou next door has announced that Mei has been announced today, so when will the "atypical Meiyu" in Shanghai go this year? Is it "dry plum" or "Kongmei" this year? It is also necessary to wait for the subsequent rain belt to judge again.

But it is certain that high temperature will last for a while. According to predictions, the lowest temperature next Monday and two cities will start from 28 ° C, and the maximum temperature will reach 35 ° C.
