Because COVID-19 swept the world in 2020, the Chinese film market was closed for 178 days, which brought great impact to the Chinese film industry. A large number of films have been squeezed and postponed, and major film companies have been operating in a dismal way. The Internetization of the film industry has also accelerated its development in the case of a sluggish industry. Films originally planned to be shown in cinemas have to be shown on the Internet. COVID-19 is a disaster for the film market, but it also brings opportunities. From now on, the film industry is affected by both good and bad. On the bright side, the Annual Inventory Report of Chinese Film Market in 2020 jointly released by Lighthouse Research Institute and Weibo Film pointed out that the total box office of Chinese film market in 2020 was 20.417 billion yuan, about 3.1 billion U.S. dollars, surpassing North America (2.1 billion U.S. dollars) to become the first box office in the world. Domestic films live up to high expectations and become the pillar of box office this year. Therefore, how to seize the opportunity and share the income of the film market is the problem that people should think about! FLIMGO's...

2020年,新冠疫情全球爆发,中国电影市场全面关闭178天,给中国电影产业带来了巨大的冲击,大量影片挤压推迟,各大影片公司风雨飘摇。电影产业的互联网化也在一片哀鸿中加速,原本计划院线中上映的影片不得不纷纷转为网播。这场新冠“寒冬”对电影市场来说是场灾难,却也带来机遇。现在看，电影行业受到的影响有好有坏。好的方面：灯塔研究院和微博电影联合发布的《2020中国电影市场年度盘点报告》，中国电影市场2020年总票房204.17亿元，约合31亿美元，超过北美（21亿美元）成全球第一票仓，国产电影更是不负厚望，在这一年成为票房担当。所以，怎样抓住机遇，分享电影市场收益，才是我们应该思考的问题！ FLIMGO全球智能票房平台能让电影不仅仅只是电影，更能让我们抓住机遇，与电影公司一起分享电影市场收益。 FilmGO智能购票平台，2017年9月成立于香港，为香港旗舰影业与亚太电影协会为助力全球票房合力孵化的平台。FilmG平台的愿景是：让电影成为全球各国宣扬民族文化的载体，地球从此不分国界，民族互相和谐学习和理解，和平发展。FilmG平台的宗旨是：1是通过协会的奖励平台让影视迷能够参与每一部电影的推广活动，从中受益。2是通过协会的优越政策让全球的好电影能够获得最好的口碑和票房。强力的公司，扎实的基础，才能更好的发行并助力优秀的电影，这些优秀的电影才会更好的推动中国电影业的发展。 FilmG平台自成立以来，发行并助力了《巨齿鲨》、《寒战》、《侠盗联盟》、《王牌逗王牌》等多部优秀电影取得票房佳绩。 FilmGO平台参与发行并助力《巨齿鲨》。《巨齿鲨》的宣传大量利用互联网推广方式。如：电影海报、预告片，微博、微信朋友圈宣传、抖音短视频、媒体报道等。在中国上映三日连续三天单日票房均破亿元人民币，首周末票房达3.47亿人民币。在各大票务平台和社交媒体上口碑持续走高。《巨齿鲨》在国际上表现同样出色：首日美国票房1650万美金，全球票房突破5000万美元，豪取首日全球票房第一的宝座。最后，在全球取得了5.27亿美元的票房，其中中国电影票房收入突破10亿人民币，成中外合拍片“里程碑”式作品，也是第一部由中国公司主控，在全球取得票房冠军的大片。这部电影原著小说在美国拥有类似于《侏罗纪公园》的影响力，此前在好莱坞多次尝试改编都未果，香港旗舰影业为拍摄《巨齿鲨》这部电影更是投资预算超过一亿美元。 FilmGO平台参与发行并助力《寒战》。《寒战》在中国内地市场公映，首周票房达9000万元，第二周票房9300万元，第三周票房4700万元。中国内地总票房达2.54亿元，中国香港票房4280万元，仅香港票房收入就可轻松收回成本。《寒战》在寒冷的冬日里一举成为票房最高的香港警匪片。在第32届香港电影金像奖上，《寒战》共斩获包括最佳男主角、最佳影片、最佳导演等9项大奖，是第32届当之无愧的大满贯影片。著名演员...

SINGAPORE - After many weeks of providing only takeaways, hawker centres and coffee shops welcomed back diners on Tuesday (Aug 10) as couples and families with children headed out for breakfast. At Bukit Panjang Hawker Centre and Market as well as 505 Jurong West Market and Food Centre, a steady stream of customers was seen at some stalls. Most of the available seats at the markets were taken even as diners stuck to groups of two. Safe distancing ambassadors were out in full force to ensure diners check in with their TraceTogether app or token at the dedicated entry points of these hawker centres. On Tuesday, the ban on dining in, imposed since July 22, was lifted. Groups of up to five people are allowed to dine at restaurants and eateries if all the diners are fully vaccinated. The group size at hawker centres and coffee shops is capped at two people, regardless of vaccination status. The easing of restrictions comes as 70 per cent of Singapore's population - or more than 3.86 million - has been fully vaccinated as at Sunday. Engineering manager Steven Lim, 50, who was having breakfast with his wife and two-year-old daughter at 505 Jurong West Market and Food Centre, said: "It fee...

SINGAPORE - All front-line staff and some patients of the NKF Dialysis Centre (Sakyadhita) in Boon Keng have been placed on quarantine after it was announced on Monday (Aug 9) that there was a Covid-19 cluster linked to it. Nursing and operational staff as well as patients who had been at the centre at the same time as the confirmed cases have been quarantined. The patients will go to another dialysis centre, designated by the Health Ministry, to receive treatment during their quarantine period, said the National Kidney Foundation (NKF). In a statement on Tuesday, NKF said three of its patients had tested positive for Covid-19 and are hospitalised. All are in a stable condition and are not in the intensive care unit. NKF added that deep cleaning and disinfection of the dialysis centre was done on Saturday.

Singapore needs more teams to vaccinate those homebound; existing medical teams stepping up

SINGAPORE - Lugging a cooler chest containing Covid-19 vaccines and a 15kg suitcase filled with medical equipment, resuscitation tools and an oxygen canister, Dr Nathaniel Ng and a nurse headed to a Housing Board flat in Hougang to vaccinate a senior citizen. After thoroughly checking that the woman was eligible for vaccination, and recording her vitals, the nurse administered the injection. They then observed the bedbound senior for 30 minutes. After confirming that she had no allergic or anaphylactic reactions, and therefore no need for their standby resuscitation equipment or medicines, they bid farewell and moved to the next location. They had at least 10 more homes to visit. The daily workload has doubled in recent weeks for Dr Ng and the dozen other home vaccination teams conducting at-home jabs. The scheme caters to immobile seniors who are not able to make their own way to vaccination centres. When it started in June, each home vaccination team visited six to eight households a day. Since a month ago, they have had to inoculate up to 14 seniors a day, working shifts that last between 10 and 12 hours, said Dr Ng, who is medical director of home care service Jaga-Me. Last Fri...

SINGAPORE - The Republic marked its 56th year since independence with a scaled-down ceremonial parade comprising 600 uniformed participants at the Marina Bay floating platform on Monday (Aug 9). Another 200 people from nine youth uniformed groups and 12 social and economic organisations joined virtually in pre-recorded segments, in a first for a National Day Parade.

Reviewing the parade was President Halimah Yacob, who arrived shortly after 9.20am, in her fourth National Day Parade as president. Earlier, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Cabinet ministers and other MPs streamed in, decked in customary red-and-white outfits. They were seated apart in line with safe distancing guidelines. The spectator stands were empty except for one section in the middle with 100 people, including political office holders, MPs and "everyday heroes" - Singaporeans who have served on the front lines or are in essential roles, or have stepped up amid the pandemic as community volunteers. There were also personnel from the med...

SINGAPORE - A scaled-down ceremonial parade will be held at the Marina Bay floating platform on Monday (Aug 9) to mark Singapore's 56th year of independence, amid the Covid-19 pandemic. About 600 participants from the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and Home Team are expected on site, with another 200 people from youth uniformed groups and social and economic organisations expected to join virtually. The parade is scheduled to start at 9am, and will last for about 45 minutes. It will be streamed live on the official NDPeeps' Facebook and YouTube pages, as well as on free-to-air TV channels. Strict Covid-19 restrictions are expected as Singapore is still in phase two (heightened alert), although some loosening of measures is scheduled to happen on Tuesday, as the country hits a fully vaccinated rate of 70 per cent. Areas around Marina Bay have been closed to the public from midnight on Monday until 2.30pm to discourage crowds.

The retired operations controller got involved in community work in 1994, when Chai Chee was a new estate. "At the time, all the residents were from different parts of Singapore. I was able to help get them together, to build very strong community bonds," said Mr Zulkefle, who has lived in Sengkang for the past two decades.

Regardless of race: One nation, many festivals

SINGAPORE - National Day is a celebration that brings together Singaporeans of every stripe and colour but each community also celebrates its own festivals throughout the year and adds colour to the diverse fabric of the nation. Some festivals, like Hari Raya Puasa and Chinese New Year, are public holidays and have become popular celebrations that all communities take part in - visiting friends and relatives from different ethnic and religious groups. Other festivals like Pongal - celebrated mainly by Hindus with roots in South India - and the Prophet Muhammad's birthday are not public holidays but are marked by the faithful and the traditions are kept alive and passed on to the next generation. These festivals offer a sense of connection and community. For instance, secondary school teacher Jihad Suhaimi, 24, said celebrating the Prophet's birthday provides an opportunity for Muslims to come together and focus on the life and values of Prophet Muhammad. He said: "Some mosques in Singapore have gatherings where we recite poems of praise in Arabic and end off with a feast." The Prophet Muhammad's birthday - also known as Maulidur Rasul or Mawlid - is usually celebrated in the third ...

SINGAPORE - An 80-year-old retiree and his 77-year-old wheelchair-user wife made their way to a regional screening centre just across the road from where they live in Ang Mo Kio, to be tested for Covid-19, on Sunday (Aug 8). Their neighbours had tested positive last week. Residents of Block 556 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 turned up to take the mandatory polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test at the former Da Qiao Primary School, for the second time in just more than a week. One of the first in line when testing began at 9am was the retiree, who wanted to be known only as Mr Tan. He said Covid-19 cases had been found among residents in three other flats using the same lift lobby on his floor, after the first swabbing exercise there ended on Aug 1. "We are fully vaccinated but we are still scared. I use the tissue to press the lift when we go down," said Mr Tan, who was accompanying his wife and pushing her wheelchair. On Saturday, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said the mandatory testing was to be conducted again after new cases were detected in the block. In the first round of community surveillance, 11 residents had tested positive for Covid-19. When The Straits Times visited the former scho...

TraceTogether app’s possible Covid-19 exposure alert has been removed

SINGAPORE - The possible exposure feature on the TraceTogether application has been removed, as the Ministry of Health (MOH) has created new categories of health alerts to manage the Covid-19 pandemic. With the evolving coronavirus situation, the ministry has designed these new categories that make more sophisticated use of TraceTogether, SafeEntry and other relevant data, said an update to the frequently asked questions (FAQs) on the TraceTogether app. These health alerts and warnings are tiered based on MOH's assessment of the individual's risk level of infection, and have been useful in helping it manage the Covid-19 outbreak, said the update. "With the new categories of Covid-19 health alerts, there is no longer a need for possible exposure alerts." The FAQs also suggested that the possible exposure alert might be misconstrued by some businesses as indicating that an individual has a high risk of becoming a Covid-19 patient, resulting in the individual being inappropriately denied entry to the premises. Removing the feature will prevent confusion among users and businesses in the light of the vaccination-differentiated safe management measures. The possible exposure feature on ...

SINGAPORE - Local clinical trials will soon commence for two Covid-19 vaccines, developed by a United States-based company to target four variants of concern, including the Delta. The early-stage clinical trial, which has just received approval from the Health Sciences Authority, will evaluate the vaccines' safety and immune response against the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta variants, and as possible booster shots for vaccinated people. The vaccines were developed by pharmaceutical firm Arcturus Therapeutics. The trial is looking to recruit healthy volunteers, both male and female, who are between 21 and 65 years old. It will be administered by SingHealth's Investigational Medicine Unit, which is led by Associate Professor Jenny Low. Prof Low, the unit's deputy clinical and scientific director, told The Straits Times: "The two new vaccines, ARCT-154 and ARCT-165 will be tested together with the original ARCT-021 vaccine, where we will compare all three vaccines against one another for their safety and antibody protection." The ARCT-021 vaccine, which was previously known as the Lunar-Cov19 vaccine, is still undergoing phase two of its clinical trials, which began earlier this year. ...

SINGAPORE - Tampines residents may enjoy a cooler living environment in the near future under a pilot project that will see some 130 Housing Board blocks painted with cool paint - a new type of paint that reflects the sun's heat. The aim is to reduce ambient temperature by up to 2 deg C. The collected data will be analysed to determine if using cool paint on building facades and pavements could be rolled out across Singapore, said the Housing Board on Saturday (Aug 7). The large-scale pilot project comes under a 10-year plan, the HDB Green Towns Programme, to make existing HDB towns more environmentally sustainable and liveable through cooling them, reducing energy consumption and recycling rainwater. On Friday, the Tampines Town Council launched a tender for cyclical repairs and redecoration works that includes using cool paint to repaint the first batch of more than 20 blocks and pavements in Tampines Street 83 and 84, among other repair works. The tender will close on Sept 1. Repainting these blocks and pavements is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of next year. The remaining blocks under the pilot will be repainted progressively. The pilot project, including its r...

SINGAPORE - In a bid to get more seniors to take the Covid-19 jabs, two trucks will go around heartland areas in the next few weeks to spread messages on vaccination, said the Ministry of Communications and Information (MCI) on Saturday (Aug 7). The #IGotMyShot trucks, which started making their rounds on Friday, will be deployed in the same areas as the Ministry of Health's (MOH) mobile vaccination teams, including Woodlands, Yishun, Bukit Merah, Hougang, Sengkang, Bedok, Tampines and Jurong West. They will broadcast prerecorded messages in the four official languages and selected dialects, and display posters, calling on unvaccinated seniors to get their shots with the mobile vaccination teams nearby. An emcee in each truck will provide more information, such as about the specific locations and operation hours of the teams. These efforts come amid a push to vaccinate more seniors, who are at higher risk of being infected by the coronavirus and becoming seriously ill. Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said on Friday that the 10 mobile vaccination teams deployed so far have vaccinated about 3,340 seniors aged above 60. The percentage of people aged 60 to 69 who have received at least one...
