Nongfu Spring Vitamin Water is New: How Does a 13-Year-Old Brand Continue to Dialogue with Young People?

Since 2022, the big health trend has continued to be strong, and functional beverages have ushered in a dividend period. Nielsen data shows that in 2022, domestic functional beverage sales reached 46 billion yuan. Among them, nutritional supplements have become an important category driving the growth of the functional beverage market.

Recently, Nongfu Spring’s Vitamin Water has also launched two new flavors after seven years – prune peach flavor and grapefruit compound flavor. From the taste point of view, Vitamin Water uses the popular fruit prunes and fresh grapefruit as the fruity base in recent years, continuing the combination concept of vitamin C and vitamin B.

Industry insiders believe that it is not difficult to see from the two new flavors launched this time that Vitamin Water has been paying attention to the needs and taste trends of young people. In particular, the prune and peach flavor is very likely to lead to a new taste trend, so that near water drinks and functional drinks will be "rolled up" again.

In 2010, Nongfu Spring Power Emperor Vitamin Water was launched. Unlike later products such as charcoal and tea pi, "Vitamin Water" directly expresses the original intention of the product – hoping to help consumers meet their needs anytime and anywhere through Vitamin Water.

From today’s perspective, vitamin water is undoubtedly trendy and practical. More than a decade ago, the concept of big health was not deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and vitamin water was still a trendy concept. However, consumers still accept and recognize the name. When it comes to "vitamin water", everyone subconsciously knows that it is a beverage under Nongfu Spring.

In 2017, Vitamin Water changed its packaging, and the bright color of the drink was matched with a capsule-like bottle design and a striking letter "V", which was very visual. The packaging style has always been based on the product itself, and the capital letter "V" represents both the product name "Vitamin" and the meaning of "Victory".

At the same time, the product concept of vitamin water has reached a consensus with consumers’ needs. Consumers can clearly know the flavors and formulas represented by different colored beverages at a glance, and quickly find what they need.

Some industry insiders have commented on the uniqueness of vitamin water. At present, functional drinks are no longer exclusive to sports and fitness enthusiasts, and this category is gradually becoming a daily lifestyle drink. And vitamin water, with its outspoken product name, bright and colorful appearance and rich taste, reduces the communication cost between functional supplement drinks and young consumer groups, and realizes personalized expression.

Vitamin Water has been named a "fashion trend" brand character by young consumers, not only because of its unique packaging design, but also because the brand has always maintained a close dialogue with young consumer groups. Since 2017, Vitamin Water has sponsored and supported a number of popular variety shows and music festivals, and has cooperated with popular movies on IP. Vitamin Water’s continuous brand cooperation is not only to take advantage of the opportunity to promote, but also to support shows or cultural products to help them realize their commercial value.

On the other hand, the continuous support of phenomenal cultural products has also made vitamin water the most trendy product under Nongfu Spring, and has also gained a large number of young fans. After 2017, vitamin water has become a super single product in the functional beverage category.

As a drink that has stood with young people since its birth, Vitamin Water not only cares about their preferences but also their needs. In recent years, "smooth intestines" has become the focus of young people’s attention, which is also the original intention of Vitamin Water to launch the first prune-flavored water drink on the market. For the industry, this is very likely to lead to a new taste trend. For consumers, this is another conversation between Vitamin Water and them.

"Ele.me" sued "Are you hungry" and won 10,000 yuan for counterfeit products infringement

According to the China Judgment Document Network, on December 30, 2020, Ele.me affiliate Lazars Network Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. sued Ele.me Catering Management (Beijing) Co., Ltd. for trademark infringement. The first-instance civil court verdict was made public.

The court verdict showed that Ele.me should immediately change its business name, and the changed business name must not contain the same or similar words as "Ele.me", and compensate Ele.me 10,000 yuan.

Court verdict

The court ruled in accordance with Article 58 of the Trademark Law of the People’s Republic of China, Article 6 (4) of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law of the People’s Republic of China, and Article 17 (3) as follows:

First, Ele.me shall immediately change its business name on the effective date of the judgment, and the changed business name shall not contain the same or similar words as "Ele.me";

Second, Hungry will compensate Lazars 10,000 yuan for the reasonable expenses of network technology within ten days from the effective date of the judgment;

Lazars:

"Hungry" clings to goodwill, causing public confusion

According to the Tianyancha APP, Lazars Network Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Lazars") is an operating company of Ele.me.

At the trial, Mr. Lazars said the company had founded Ele.me in 2008, a local lifestyle platform that specialises in online food delivery, new retail, instant delivery and the catering supply chain. Ele.me, the company’s core business, had grown over the years to reach 2,000 cities across the country by June 2017, with 1.30 million restaurants and 260 million users.

In order to protect the good reputation of its products and services and safeguard its legitimate rights and interests, the company has applied for the registration of numerous trademarks, covering categories of goods and services including Class 9, Class 35, Class 42, and Class 43.

The company said that after years of use and promotion, the "Ele.me" series of trademarks has gained a high reputation and influence in the food service field. "At the beginning of our company’s establishment, we chose the mobile client side application software as the platform for providing services. Our company’s’Ele.me ‘mobile application software was officially released as early as 2012, and as our company’s market share and scale continue to expand, the influence of our company’s trademark is also increasing."

However, the company found that "Hungry" used "Hungry", which is highly similar to the "Ele.me" trademark, as a business name registration, "with subjective malice to cling to our company’s goodwill. Their business name has caused confusion to the relevant public, and their behavior constitutes unfair competition."

Are you hungry?

The company name has been approved and registered according to law, but it has not actually operated

However, Ele.me argued in court that the company’s business name was approved and registered in accordance with the law, and that the company did not actually operate after registration. The company pointed out that the "do" of "Ele.me" is different from the "do" of "Ele.me". The pronunciation is also different, and the glyph is different, which does not constitute a similarity. Therefore, the company asked to dismiss all of Lazars’ claims.

Why is the company named "Hungry"? To this end, the Red Star Capital Bureau called the company today. However, when the other party knew the purpose of the visit, they hung up the phone.

Tianyancha APP shows that hungry was established in December 23, 2016, the registered capital is 1 million RMB, the registered address is Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone, Beijing, its industry belongs to the business service industry, business license registration business scope includes catering management, sales of handicrafts, edible agricultural products, daily necessities, electronic products, machinery and equipment.

The court inquiry found that Shan Lijun, the legal representative of Ele.me, served as the legal representative of 100 companies, some of which contained high-profile logos such as "Citi", "Standard Chartered" and "Alibaba Cloud" in their corporate names.

In response to the above situation, Shan Lijun did not provide a reasonable explanation for this during the trial, only indicating that none of the above companies were actually operating and that they did not actually contribute capital.

Judgment:

Compensation for Zaras 10,000 yuan, "Are you hungry" has been changed twice

In this regard, the court held that the series of trademarks in this case were registered first, and the defendant’s font number "Hungry" was very similar in shape, pronunciation and meaning to the plaintiff’s registered trademark, so it should be recognized as a similar logo. The defendant registered "Hungry", which was very similar to the plaintiff’s registered trademark, as its registered corporate name, with obvious subjective malice, which was objectively prone to market confusion and constituted unfair competition.

Red Star Capital Bureau noted that the judgment was handed down on May 29 last year, and on September 8, 2020, Ele.me changed its name to "Ele.me Catering Management (Beijing) Co., Ltd." and on November 19, 2020, it was renamed "Beijing Yushanfang Staple Food Kitchen Co., Ltd.".

Repeated infringement of counterfeit products

In August last year, "Haidilao" sued "Hedilao" for trademark infringement. The court rejected Haidilao’s claim in the first instance, finding that Hedilao did not infringe on Haidilao’s trademark rights. This time, Haidilao’s intensive trademark applications meant to build a trademark "moat".

Previously, the news of Jinri Toutiao suing Today’s churros was on Weibo’s trending topic list. Henan Today’s churros Catering Management Co., Ltd. has also applied for the registration of today’s churros, tomorrow’s churros, cakes, Kuaishou pancakes and other trademarks.

Market regulators have been cracking down on such infringements. A few years ago, there were fewer and fewer counterfeit products such as "Leibi", "Yongdong" and "Cola Cola". In addition, some netizens complained that the court’s judgment was too light. Since 2016, "Hungry" has been infringing for many years, but it only awarded compensation of 10,000 yuan to "Ele.me", which is not enough to make up for the loss of "Ele.me".

In recent years, our country has been strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights, including trademarks. In April 2019, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress amended the Trademark Law to increase the punishment for infringement of trademark exclusive rights. The revised provisions increased the amount of compensation for malicious infringement of trademark exclusive rights from more than 1 times to less than 3 times to more than 1 times to less than 5 times, and raised the upper limit of statutory compensation from 3 million yuan to 5 million yuan. The amendments came into effect on November 1, 2019.

Greater penalties are necessary to reduce such infringements, and only if these infringing companies are properly punished can others be prevented from following suit."Operators must enhance their awareness of intellectual property rights, respect the rights and interests of others’ prior trademarks, and maliciously infringe on the exclusive rights of others to register trademarks will be severely punished by law," Wu Xinhua, senior partner and director of the intellectual property department of Beijing Weiheng Law Firm, reminded in an interview with the media.

[New car details]

1. the evolution of 1.Dragon Face design.

Han EV ※

BYD Han EV adopts a four-door coupe design as a whole, which has been upgraded and optimized on the basis of the family-style Dragon Face design language. Thanks to the body design concept of "front circle and rear", the drag coefficient of the new car is only 0.233Cd. The front of the new car adopts a closed grille, and the long and narrow LED light groups are connected by an iconic Dragon Face strip, and the LOGO position in the middle is engraved with the "Han" logo. There is a flat trapezoidal air inlet below, and a triangular air inlet on both sides. The penetrating semi-enclosed decorative strip further increases the texture and recognition of the front of the car.

On the side of the car body, the coupe-shaped lines are very obvious, and the door handle is hidden. The front of the D-pillar is decorated with unique chrome plating, which is said to be inspired by "Long Lin". The new car adopts a brand-new five-position wheel hub, which can effectively reduce wind resistance. The shape of the rear part of the car body is full and the lines are rich. A straight through taillight is used, and the middle part is marked with "BUILD YOUR DREAMS". In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4980mm, 1910mm and 1495mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2920mm.

Chinese DM ※

Compared with the grille-free front face of Han EV,Han DM models have different front face modeling schemes, using bright large mouth front grille similar to Qin Pro, Song Pro, Tang and other models, and using advanced gray car paint.

At the same time, the car will also provide two kinds of tyre size, 245/50 R18 and 245/45 R19, for consumers to choose from. The new car will provide panoramic skylights and various styles of rim shapes.

Wind resistance design of super-running stage ※

BYD Han successfully completed the wind tunnel test at the Shanghai Ground Vehicle Wind Tunnel Center, the busiest wind tunnel in Asia. The test results show that Han’s drag coefficient is only 0.233. This fully shows that BYD has reached the world’s leading technical level in body design and engineering manufacturing technology, and at the same time, it also shows BYD’s development ideas for Han models: to build an elegant style, collect BYD’s top technical resources, and build a new generation flagship car that conforms to the concept of low carbon and environmental protection.

Byd Han can achieve a drag coefficient of 0.233 (the drag coefficient of Tesla Model S is 0.24), which first benefits from the high integration of first-class modeling design and pneumatic engineering. Wolfgang Eiger, global design director of BYD, said: At the beginning of development, Han clearly wanted to realize the integration of beautiful design and high performance. Therefore, from the beginning, modeling design took the realization of ultra-low drag coefficient as an important goal.

Byd Han’s smooth lines from the front of the car, the roof to the rear of the car, every inch of the direction is based on the full consideration and in-depth study of the impact on airflow. This means that the resistance caused by the friction between the air and the car body is minimized, and at the same time, it will not cause the air to be thrown away from the car body, resulting in a low pressure area on the roof, reducing the downforce obtained by the car body and affecting the handling stability.

In the design of the front face, Han’s front cabin cover starts from a lower position than before, and the rounded arc outlines the smooth lines of the front face outline, which not only brings greater pressure difference between the upper and lower parts of the car body, but also obtains greater downforce, further ensuring the fit between the airflow and the car body.

Subsequently, the drop-shaped rearview mirror, hidden door handle and other designs fully integrated practical functions and low wind resistance characteristics, which cooperated with the smooth passage of airflow. Starting from the C-pillar, the upper part of the cabin gradually narrows, forming a beautiful and powerful wide shoulder shape, and also continuing the airflow direction that fits the car body.

Pneumatic separation of the tail, through the elegant and powerful pneumatic separation design on both sides of the tail, the airflow on both sides of the car body leaves almost in a straight line after coming to the tail, avoiding being involved in the vortex area of the tail, and realizing the ingenious integration of beautiful design and low wind resistance.

2. Interior Chinese aesthetic design (importent information)

The overall design of BYD Han center console is balanced and symmetrical, with the large-size suspended central control panel as the center, extending to the ends of the left and right door panels along the central axis, outlining a core line that connects the first half of the cockpit, creating a full sense of embrace.

According to the manufacturer, this brand-new design language originated from the Forbidden City complex. Designers drew a lot of inspiration from the architectural arrangement and unique structural techniques in the Forbidden City, making BYD Han a perfect integration of Chinese architectural aesthetics and technological trends.

The whole interior of the new car is designed with red and black contrast colors, and red leather decoration is added in many details of the steering wheel and door panel lights, with all-red seats, which further enhances the luxury and exquisiteness of the car. The dashboard in the car adopts full LCD design, and the steering wheel also adopts a brand-new double flat-bottomed design. At the same time, the "2.0 LANE ASSISTANT" is displayed at the bottom of the steering wheel, which may indicate that a more advanced assisted driving system will be equipped.

The co-pilot’s front decorative panel is also integrated with Long Lin-style atmosphere lights, and the air outlet of the air conditioner has a relatively "staggered" position arrangement, so that they are in a zigzag layout in spatial structure. BYD’s "BYD-HEART" design concept is adopted in the gear lever mining area, and all the main function buttons in the car are integrated on this panel. Besides gear shifting, it also has the functions of electronic handbrake, one-button start, volume adjustment, vehicle start/stop, mode switching, etc., which not only reduces the button setting on the center console, but also increases the convenience of the driver’s operation.

The sports seat is ergonomically designed, which is more in line with the human body curve, and can help relieve the fatigue caused by sitting for a long time. The seat is made of Nappa leather with the "Long Lin" pattern outlined by two-way stitching, which is in harmony with the elements in the car.

3. New Ferrous lithium phosphate "Blade Battery"

The NEDC cruising range of BYD Han EV is 550km (dual-motor model) and 605km (single-motor model), and the energy density of the battery system is 140 Wh/kg. The NEDC pure electric cruising range of Han DM (plug-in hybrid version) is 81km.

Breaking 100 million for 56 consecutive days! Summer movie box office has exceeded 17.3 billion yuan.

According to the data from the State Film Administration, as of August 15th, the box office of summer movies in 2023 reached 17.37 billion yuan, with domestic movies accounting for 85.85%. The film market in China has exceeded 100 million yuan for 56 consecutive days. Four films, such as Disappeared She, Put All Your Eggs in One Buckle, Gods in the Wind Part I: Singing in the Wind, and In an Octagonal Cage, have grossed more than 2 billion yuan. Chang ‘an San Wan Li topped 1.7 billion yuan at the box office, ranking second in the box office of China film history animated films.

This summer, the long-accumulated cultural and entertainment needs of China audiences were released, and China films crossed the downturn and stood at a new starting point of recovery.

Break 100 million yuan for 56 consecutive days

The summer box office has exceeded 17.3 billion yuan.

Every evening, major cinemas gradually enter the prime time of screening, and there is an endless stream of visitors in the cinema. Many people choose to come to the cinema with their families and friends to enjoy the summer time.

Since the summer vacation, films such as Disappeared She, In an Octagonal Cage, Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an, The First Part of Gods, and Enthusiasm have been released one after another, which has aroused emotional resonance and triggered topic effect. A noteworthy phenomenon is that, under normal circumstances, the box office will reach its peak in the first weekend of film release, and then gradually decline in the second weekend. However, many films released in this summer’s file still maintained a high attendance rate after being released for many days.

Yu Chao, Deputy General Manager of Capital Cinema:In the 14 theaters of our cinema, there are almost 80 screenings every day, which should be said to be full of firepower. Including weekends and prime time, basically these films are in a state of being close to full. We can see so many good films released and so many viewers can go back to the cinema to watch movies, and we are still very confident about the future film market.

According to the statistics of the National Film Bureau, in July 2023, the national box office closed with an outstanding achievement of 8.716 billion yuan, which greatly increased the highest record in the same period held in July 2018 by 25%. As of August 15th, the box office of summer movies in 2023 reached 17.37 billion yuan, with domestic movies accounting for 85.85%. The film market in China has exceeded 100 million yuan for 56 consecutive days. A series of data boosted industry confidence.

Film data analyst Chen Jin:This year’s summer box office peaked a lot earlier, and a large number of viewers’ willingness to watch movies was reactivated and recalled. More than 20% of the audience entered the cinema for the first time in the past year. Judging from the summer file, the recovery speed of the film market this year is very amazing. We expect that the box office of this summer file will reach a record high this weekend, and the box office of the whole year will also exceed 40 billion.

Zhang Yan, Executive Director of the Asian and Chinese Film Research Center of Beijing Normal University: The box office of the summer movie continues to increase, and it may break through to the second place or enter the first place in the same period, so this performance actually allows us to see that China movies have a full speed, or an explosion and an acceleration development in its heyday. On the one hand, they responded to the creative power of our China film industry, and their confidence in the film, of course, also responded to the audience’s demand for China films.

Diversified types and rich themes

Domestic films have obvious advantages in leading.

This summer, many domestic films triggered topic effect, paying tribute to Chinese excellent traditional culture in content and expanding the boundaries of genre films in subject matter, which stimulated the audience’s enthusiasm for watching movies, and the box office leading effect was obvious.

Although many imported films participated in the market competition this summer, domestic films have obvious advantages, with a market share of 85.69%, a record high. The benign interaction between China audience and domestic films also reflects the achievements of high-quality development of domestic films in recent years and the growing cultural consciousness of China audience.

The animated film Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an tells the friendship between Gao Shi and Li Bai from the perspective of the poet Gao Shi, with more than 40 Tang poems appearing in the film. With the help of the imagination of animation, the film presents the classic charm of Tang poetry which has been passed down for thousands of years.

Zou Jing, director of the film "Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an": Good animation works or good works of art, I think, can express people’s vigorous emotions pinned on this land and people’s breath and voice in this era.

Chen Caizhi, a researcher at the Institute of Literature of China Academy of Social Sciences:One of the biggest highlights of this film is that these poems are poeticized, one through specific scenes and the other through the perspective of characters. It is dynamic, it has a good kernel, and the content is of interest to us. It turns these calm and objective things into subjective ones, and the heat wave is rolling. The air in Chang ‘an and Luoyang in the whole Tang Dynasty is filled with the breath and taste of poetry.

From the prosperous scenery of Chang ‘an, to the poetic and picturesque moonlight in the south of the Yangtze River, and then to the Jin Ge Tiema in the battlefield in the border town, The Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an, which contains Chinese aesthetics, makes the audience feel the long history of Chinese excellent traditional culture and the meaningful charm of Three Hundred Tang Poems.

Xie Junwei, director of the film Chang ‘an Three Wan Li:Team China tells the story of China to the audience in China. We should explore the treasure house of China’s traditional culture. By combining China’s traditional culture with the spirit of the times, it can impress more audiences and resonate with more audiences.

The film "Feng Shen I", adapted from the classical literature "Feng Shen Romance", tells a mythical war more than 3,000 years ago, and presents "China people’s own mythical epic" on the big screen by using advanced film technology and contemporary interpretation. In order to resonate with the young audience, the film no longer focuses on Jiang Ziya to tell the story of King Wu’s conquest, but focuses on Ji Fa in his youth and tells the process of spiritual growth from the perspective of young people.

Zhang Yan, Executive Director of Asian and Chinese Film Research Center of Beijing Normal University:A traditional fairy tale is presented in a very heavy industrial aesthetics, and the whole image special effects are excellent, and it has a cultural style and characteristics of China, and the picture is very beautiful. We can see that our China films have reached an advanced level in terms of technical development, technical aesthetics and industry, which is of course an important dimension for our China films to enter the film power in 2035.

Traditional culture has triggered a wave of watching movies.

Stimulate the consumption of cultural tourism

Among the films released in the summer file, China story and China culture are more attractive to the audience. A number of films showing China culture with strong oriental aesthetic characteristics are sought after by the audience, among which the animated film "Changan Wan Li" is the most typical, and the film has gained a good reputation and a good box office.

In an interview with a cinema in Xi ‘an, the reporter saw that although "Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an" has been released for more than a month, there are still a lot of films. The staff told reporters that the venue was almost full on weekends, and many parents came to watch with their children, and many foreign tourists came to watch the movie.

Ms. Shi, a tourist from Jiangxi:I just want to appreciate the culture of Datang here and enjoy the atmosphere here.

Gao Yuyao, a citizen of Xi ‘an: At the screening, I saw some children reading Tang poems along with them.

He Zichen, a tourist from Sichuan: You still have to visit these places to understand this cultural thing.

The popularity of the film also directly promoted the consumption of local cultural tourism in Xi’ an. Many historical and cultural scenic spots in Xi ‘an have also launched special projects related to Tang poetry. In Huaqing Palace, a landmark scenic spot of Tang Palace cultural tourism, a non-legacy research activity with the theme of "Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an, Tang Shiyue Millennium" was recently launched. While reading Tang poems, teenagers are immersed in the profound charm of architecture, culture and art in the Tang Dynasty. Experts said that the successful creation of film and television IP is forming a benign interaction with the consumption of cultural tourism, which will play a good demonstration role for the future development of China’s film and television industry.

Zhang Ali, Dean of Northwest University Film Academy:Cultural tourism is the inevitable product of the development and promotion of film and television IP. After the cultural tourism promotes the development, it will also feed back the film and television in a benign way, so it is necessary to enrich and diversify the supply structure of the film. In this way, our China films, especially at the box office, will form a new blowout development, which will drive the related cultural tourism and the development of our overall cultural industry. I think "Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an" has a very good enlightening effect.

Key schedules have repeatedly achieved good results.

The future of China movies can be expected.

Since the beginning of this year, the box office of Chinese movies has always maintained a high level of operation, and the film market has performed well in many movie slots, including Spring Festival and May Day. Film consumption not only enriches people’s cultural life, but also makes positive contributions to economic and social development.

Take the children to see Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an to learn Tang poetry, take the elderly to see Put All Your Eggs to prevent fraud, and the whole family to watch Enthusiasm to embrace love … Many viewers said that the rating of summer movies this year seems to be less important. What is important is the topic effect they have produced, which makes China movies really enter the stage of "strong topic and strong interaction".

In the next summer, many new films such as "Learning Dad", "Missing Me" and "Burning Winter" will be released one after another, which will continue to bring diversified viewing options to the audience. Among them, the film "Learning Dad" focuses on the current hot topics in society, and takes the educational topic of "young to young" as an incision to discuss how to face the growth of children and self. The shell of comedy is wrapped in the core of family.

Statistics show that as of press time, the box office performance of Chinese movies in 2023 has exceeded 39.4 billion yuan.

Zhang Yan, Executive Director of Asian and Chinese Film Research Center of Beijing Normal University:In fact, China movies have been developing at an accelerated pace since the Lunar New Year in 2023. Moreover, our themes are richer, and our creators devote more works to launch, explore more types, explore more entertainment and commercial elements with incomparable enthusiasm, and more importantly, achieve a good balance between technical aesthetics and artistic aesthetics. So I think this is a very gratifying phenomenon. I believe that with the efforts of our entire filmmakers, including the further support of the entire national policy, and more on the basis of the enthusiasm of China audiences for domestic films, our China films will develop better and better. We also hope that at this speed and pace, our dream of becoming a movie power can be better realized.
