Today (February 10th), the main media center of the Beijing Winter Olympics held the sixth regular press conference during the competition. The relevant responsible persons of the Olympic Broadcasting Service Company and the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee answered questions from Chinese and foreign reporters on issues such as "broadcasting technology".
Zhai Zhuang: At the regular press conference, the CEO of the Olympic Broadcasting Service Company mentioned that as of now, the global viewership share of the Winter Olympic Games has created a new high in the previous Winter Olympic Games. At the same time, he also mentioned the Central Radio and Television Station as a partner, he believes that in the history of the Olympic Games, the main station for the first time to achieve the full 4K production and broadcast of the event, and provided 8K ultra-high-definition public signals at the opening ceremony, which shows that the main station has achieved a global leader in broadcast technology.
Ioannis Exacos, CEO of Olympic Broadcasting Services: We are very happy and satisfied to work with CCTV. CCTV has entered a new level, especially the use of 8K, and we know that this is a future way of production and broadcasting. We are also very excited to be able to work with them. In addition, let me say that 35% of our 4,000 Employees of the Olympic Broadcasting Service Company in Beijing are from China, which shows that China is mature in terms of broadcasting technology.
Zhao Weidong, spokesman for the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, said that at present, the various events of the Beijing Winter Olympics are progressing smoothly, and in addition to watching the events, many netizens have also taken a strong interest in the unique venues and venues of the Winter Olympics. Take the Shougang Grand Jump, for example, which was built in the Shougang Park in Beijing's Shijingshan District, where industrial relics and modern venues have been perfectly integrated.
Zhao Weidong, spokesman of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee: This is the first competition venue in the history of the Winter Olympics to be directly combined with the reuse of industrial heritage, it is upgraded using industrial resources such as the cooling tower of the Capital Iron and Steel Company, and it is also the world's first permanently retained and used ski jump. We have also noticed that this online article on social media has described the cooling towers of steel companies as nuclear facilities, which is simply ridiculous and absurd. IOC President Bach has also visited Shougang Park, and he has repeatedly regarded Shougang Park as a model for the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee to practice the concept of sustainable development and frugality in running the Olympic Games, calling it an amazing example of urban planning and renewal.
