3 . Chinese television maker Skyworth Group is strengthening efforts to venture into the 5G-powered 8K ultra-high definition TV section, especially the whole industrial chain related to the top-notch 8K technology, as it aims to grab a bigger slice of the country’s high-end TV market.
Wang Zhiguo, chairman and president of Shenzhen Skyworth-RGB Electronic, said the company is committed to providing a complete 8K solution that covers 8K video cameras, monitors, content creation and cloud operating systems, and expands application in a wide range of fields such as aerial photography, education, healthcare and advertising.
The company uncovered its new 8K TV product Q71, which supports 8K signal reception, decoding, image signal processing and screen display. The 8K TVs have a screen resolution ratio that is 4.3 times clearer than human eyesight and four times higher than the 4K ones. 8K UHD livestreaming and cloud-based broadcasting will give viewers a more immersive experience.
“5G offers technological support for the adoption of 8K, while 8K is one of the best application scenarios of the superfast wireless technology, ” said Wu Wei, chief engineer of Skyworth, adding 5G has the advantages of high speed, large capacity and low latency, which brings about a good opportunity for the popularization of 8K ultra-high definition TV. And the country’s 8K video industry will see robust growth with the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, which will use 8K UHD livestreaming and transmission.
The domestic 8K TV industry is now in a nascent stage, Wu said, adding that Skyworth will intensify research and development efforts in 8K chips to improve the clarity, contrast and brightness of images.
“While there is a shortage of 8K video content, which requires advanced, professional equipment such as special cameras and monitors, increasing the cost of producing content, with the advent of superfast 5G technology and the popularization of big TVs, 8K has created many opportunities. The broadcasting of sporting events via 8K equipment has also motivated people to demand high-definition image quality,” said Liu Fei, research director of the consumer electronics department of Skyworth.

5 . Shows that are all about movies.
“Filmspotting”
“Film spotting” has been producing weekly programs of insightful film analysis since 2005. Episodes typically begin with an in-depth discussion of one major new theatrical release. A reliable highlights is a Massacre Theater, in which the hosts gamely re-enact(重演) a scene and invite listeners to guess which movie it is from.
“How did these get made?”
The actors Paul Scheer , June Diane Raphael and Jason Mantzoukas host this discussion that doesn’t aim to pile hate on bad films so much as make detailed fun of them but try to figure out how they came to be. The hosts are so attractive that the commentary doesn’t come off as negative; even when they discuss true duds, their real love of movies shines through.
“The Rewatchables “
“The Rewatchables “ taps into the universal joy of revisiting a favorite movie-and the less universal joy of doing it with a bunch of deeply knowledgeable friends. Each episode finds Bill Simmons, host of the show, and a cast of guests examining a movie that may not be an obvious classic, but is a culturally significant film that you have likely seen at least once.
“Scripetnotes”
Billed as a show about “ screenwriting and things that are interesting to screen writers”, “Scripetnotes” offers specific advice on screenwriting. The show’s regular Three Page Challenge, in which the two hosts, Craig Mazin and John August, comment on the sample of an audience- submitted screenplay, is invaluable whether you are an ambitious screenwriter or a curious film fan.
