Singapore to receive China movies faster over digital network
China-made movies will now make it earlier to Singapore all thanks to MediaCorp Technologies and China Film Digital. Cinemas here in Singapore will receive movies using a high-speed digital network instead of getting reels of film delivered by hand.
This also meant that the same movie can be screened in Singapore on the same day as it opens in China. This would definately be good news for movie-goers here at home. Well then again it would be bad news for pirates as going digital meant that movies can be securely encrypted, making it tougher for pirates to get an early copy!
MediaCorp Technologies' chief executive officer, Mr Mock Pak Lum also mentioned that they could bring in up to 50 digital movies each year. This would definately be a boost for the movie industry! With more overseas movies coming in to Singapore, we would be able to see works of overseas talents! Way to go!
The tie-up with China is not the first for MediaCorp Technologies. Last June, a trial had been run with Hollywood studios to deliver movies from the United States to Thailand, via Singapore.
