Between the “self-heavy” and “self-confidence”, Xiaomi’s wave of operations has gone against the trend.
Xiaomi recently released a special video ad. Not only is there no over-commitment, you are not paying attention, VO seems to be full of self-denial. After 10 years of growth, Xiaomi has begun to deny the value of its “smart ecology”? P>
For most brands, advertising means commitment, even at the expense of exaggeration. However, in Xiaomi’s latest ad, you don’t see the shadow of “commitment”; instead, it chooses to tell consumers what their products cannot accomplish. P>
This 77-second advertisement depicts people’s new lives with the assistance of Xiaomi’s Smart Life. In fact, Xiaomi may be one of the most widely deployed domestic manufacturers of smart homes and hardware. Seeing the trend of smart life earlier, Xiaomi has hatched more than 100 ecological chain companies, and its products cover watches, sweeping robots, story machines, rice cookers, and so on. And the protagonists who appear in the advertisement from “black” are just these. p>
“Smart products don’t let us worry less.” To be honest, it may not be pleasing to the ear, but it is the most unsettling. When he grows up, grandpa becomes an old child, and his granddaughter solves the elderly’s insecurity with smart interconnection. p>
“Smart products cannot help reduce our burden.” The young women who bought New Year’s goods returned with a full load, and used the NFC function of Xiaomi Watch to solve the embarrassment of using access control when they could not make a shot. p>
“Smart products cannot solve loneliness.” A single man who is busy at work late at home and uses a full set of smart home products to create a comfortable life for himself. p>
In fact, many technology companies have released concept films to imagine the intelligent life of humanity in the future. In these films, a “utopia” in the digital age is emerging-with the cooperation and help of various smart homes and hardware, people’s lives have changed dramatically. Smart devices take care of all aspects of life in an organized manner. And the person being served seems to have become the “supporting role” in the intelligent ecology. p>
Unlike traditional thinking, the video ads released by Xiaomi show very different values. As this TVC final copy puts it: “Smart never changes you, it is you that change your life.” P>
Under such communication, Xiaomi’s objective view on “smart life” is hidden: neither panic nor blind obedience, the development of intelligence should never lose its value. p>
With a clear head, redefine “person” and “intelligence””‘S relationship h2>
People of any age are always ambivalent about new technologies. p>
On the one hand, the huge impact and changes brought about by new technologies have caused many people to panic because they do not understand them; on the other hand, people are full of expectations for the future of technology, and sometimes even It is “over-optimistic” and believes that new technologies will solve all problems facing humanity once and for all. p>

As companies look at the world, they will shape the world they imagine. For Xiaomi, the question to consider is how to define the relationship between people, society and smart products. p>
You can probably see the answer given by Xiaomi’s advertisement. What seems to be “self-defeating” is conveying a further value than most smart brands: intelligence should never exist without human nature. The higher the level of intelligence, the more valuable you are to cherish people. p>
While most brands are emphasizing “let smart let your work take over”, it provides another direction of thinking-the relationship between people, society and smart products becomes balanced and harmonious. p>
This may have something to do with Xiaomi’s complete layout of smart life earlier. According to previously disclosed data, at least 400 ecological chain partners have provided more than 800 different devices for Xiaomi users. The Mijia APP has connected 85 million devices and the number of daily living devices exceeds 10 million. More than 3 million users. p>
As a leader in the field of intelligent hardware, Xiaomi, which has the first-mover advantage, has taken the lead in maturity. The calmness in the market position allows it to look at the development of smart life more rationally. Only by establishing this correct value can we produce more intelligent products that conform to the law and make its business development lastable. p>
