亞洲首部iPhone拍攝長片《怪胎》話題十足 Asia’s first iPhone-shot film ‘I Weirdo’ hits screens

亞洲首部iPhone拍攝長片《怪胎》話題十足亞洲首部用iPhone拍攝的電影長片《怪胎》上週五起全台上映，該片由金馬獎得主林柏宏、謝欣穎主演，敘述一對身患「強迫症」（OCD）的情侶，試著融入「正常」的社會。而導演廖明毅用iPhone XS Max進行拍攝、剪輯，引發不少熱議。《綜藝》雜誌最近就評論︰「誰會想得到呢？這部關於與眾不同之苦的浪漫喜劇片，竟然變成在全球疫情下既諷刺又切合時宜的觀影經驗。」該雜誌還指出，片中具有潔癖的「怪胎」，在今日的封城生活中，看來更像保持社交距離的勇士。《怪胎》近日進軍義大利遠東影展，榮獲兩項觀眾票選獎。並受邀參加南韓富川奇幻影展，且勇奪亞洲電影促進聯盟所頒發的「奈派克獎」。該片還入選為加拿大奇幻影展競賽片，該影展即將在八月二十日開幕。 Asia’s first iPhone-shot film ‘I Weirdo’ hits screens I Weirdo, Asia’s first iPhone-shot feature film, hit the screens nationwide on Friday. Starring Taiwan’s Golden Horse Award-winning actor Austin Lin and actress Nikki Hsieh, the story is about a couple with “obsessive-compulsive disorder” (OCD) trying to fit in to “normal” society. Filmed and edited by director Liao Ming-yi using his iPhone XS Max, the movie has received much attention. As Variety magazine says, “Who would have thought a romantic comedy on the pain of being different could become such ironic and timely viewing in a global pandemic?” adding that the so-called “weirdos” with a fear of getting dirty in the film now look like social-distancing heroes in locked-down lives. The film has recently won two viewers’ choice awards at the Far East Film Festival in Italy, as well as the Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema’s NETPAC Award at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival in South Korea. It has also been invited to the Fantasia International Film Festival that will open in Canada on Aug. 20.

Netflix V.S. Disney+ 決戰東南亞 New streaming battle to kick off in SE Asia

https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2020/08/26/2003742271 網飛的主要對手迪士尼＋下月即將進軍印尼，串流巨擘網飛則表示，正在東南亞推廣僅限行動裝置上的訂閱方案，並增加本土製作內容。根據路透報導，在網飛全球多達近兩億訂戶中，超過一百萬訂戶來自快速成長的東南亞市場。 As key rival Disney+ is set to launch in Indonesia starting next month, streaming giant Netflix is promoting its mobile-only subscription in Southeast Asia while increasing local content. According to Reuters, over a million of Netflix’s nearly 200 million subscribers across the world are in Southeast Asia, and the market is expanding rapidly. 印尼是全球人口數第四大國家，總人口兩億七千萬人，網飛表示將繼續加強當地內容，並計畫很快在印尼、泰國展開拍片計畫。該地區去年影音訂閱的營收估計達六億美元（約一百七十七億台幣），到二○二五年可能暴增至年營收三十億美元。 Indonesia is the world’s fourth most populous country, with about 270 million people. Netflix has said that it will continue to expand local content, and plans to start filming projects in Indonesia and Thailand soon. The region is estimated to have generated US$600 million (about NT$ 17.7 billion) from music and video subscription last year, but the figure is likely to surge to US$3 billion annually by 2025 此外，台灣政府上週宣布將禁止本土公司代理中國「OTT」（線上影音）平台在台營運。網飛和本土OTT，例如台灣大哥大的「myVideo」、遠傳電信的「friday」影音預料將因此而受惠。 Meanwhile, the Taiwanese government announced last week plans to bar local agents from helping Chinese “over-the-top” (OTT) service providers operate in Taiwan, and Netflix and local OTT services, such as Taiwan Mobile’s myVideo and Far EasTone Telecommunications’ friday, are all expected to benefit from the ban.
