  • Gandingan Serasi Syarul Ezani & Zarazya Menerusi Drama Bersiri Terbaharu Di Slot Samarinda, ‘Hati Tercarik Luka’

    Terbaharu di slot Samarinda, Hati Tercarik Luka gandingan serasi Syarul Ezani dan Zarazya akan mula bersiaran pada 21 Disember 2023, setiap Isnin hingga Khamis, pukul 10.00 malam di TV3 dan strim eksklusif secara HD melalui Tonton di www.tonton.com.my, muat turun aplikasi Tonton melalui Google Play atau App Store.

    Drama bersiri 15 episod terbitan Creative Skill Solution merupakan inspirasi novel Hati Tercarik Luka karya Aida Asmida, diarahkan oleh Emi Suffian dan nukilan skrip oleh Nieza Nahar serta menampilkan barisan pelakon hebat seperti Syarul Ezani, Zarazya, Ryun Ryry, Fizo Omar, Mia Nasir, Jasmin Hamid, Aleza Shadan, Haeriyanto Hassan, Halim Radzi dan ramai lagi.

    Syarul Ezani, yang lebih dikenali sebagai Ali menerusi Kami The Series dan Kami The Movie kembali aktif pada tahun 2020 selepas lama menyepi di industri hiburan. Menurut Syarul Ezani, “Minat berlakon masih menebal dalam hati saya. Lebih mengujakan apabila saya dapat bekerjasama dengan rakan-rakan seni yang hebat seperti Zarazya, Jasmin Hamid, Fizo Omar, Ryun Ryry dan ramai lagi. Watak Dani Zairie sangat mencabar kerana perwatakannya jauh dari diri saya. Tambahan pula, nak jadi watak suami yang dah ada anak seorang bukanlah benda yang saya tahu. Jadi, saya perlu mencari keserasian dengan pelakon-pelakon lain untuk melakonkan watak tersebut dengan sebaiknya. Drama ini juga banyak babak yang mencabar emosi dan saya berharap hasil kerja kami bakal menerima sambutan yang baik daripada peminat drama Melayu.”

    Sering diberikan kepercayaan untuk memegang watak berat yang mampu menyentuh jiwa penonton, Zarazya telah memberikan komitmen penuh dan lakonan mantap demi Eyda Amanda, seorang isteri yang telah dikhianati oleh suaminya dan dizalimi oleh perempuan bertopengkan syaitan, Maya Maria. Menurut Zarazya, “Hati Tercarik Luka sarat dengan mesej yang positif dan merupakan sebuah naskhah drama yang berat. Sebagai seorang pelakon, saya tidak pernah rasa puas berlakon dan sentiasa ingin menerokai watak-watak yang diberikan. Saya berharap lakonan saya dapat memberi impak yang positif dalam kehidupan masyarakat kita dan dapat memberi kesedaran kepada semua dalam menjalani kehidupan berumah tangga dengan baik. Semoga watak Eyda dapat memberi inspirasi kepada wanita-wanita yang di luar sana agar tetap berjaya dalam menjalani kehidupan, biarpun melalui fasa-fasa kekecewaan dalam isu rumah tangga seperti yang Eyda alami.

    Rumah tangga Dani Zairie (Syarul Ezani) dengan Eyda Amanda (Zarazya) bahagia dengan kurniaan seorang anak perempuan, Farra. Dani Zairie dan Eyda Amanda bagaikan lambang pasangan yang bahagia. Perkahwinan mereka berdua dijodohkan oleh Puan Safina (Jasmin Hamid), ibu kepada Dani.

    Walaupun Eyda turut bekerja, dia tidak lupa tentang peranan dan tanggung jawabnya sebagai seorang isteri dan ibu. Eyda selalu alpa yang dia perlu dahulukan suami dan anaknya. Dani pula menjadi suami yang memahami dan turut ringan tulang untuk membantu melakukan kerja rumah.

    Namun, Puan Safina sering masuk campur dalam rumah tangga anaknya sehingga merunsingkan Eyda. Puan Safina menganggap Eyda mahu menjadi ‘Queen Control’. Puan Safina turut memberikan tekanan kepada Eyda untuk mendapatkan anak lagi, khususnya cucu lelaki memandangkan Farra sudah pun berumur 5 tahun.

    Tidak lama kemudian, Dani dan Eyda menerima khabar gembira apabila Eyda disahkan mengandung lagi. Puan Safina sungguh teruja dan mengharapkan kandungan kali ini ialah bayi lelaki. Pada masa yang sama, Eyda mula perasan Dani telah berubah tetapi Dani pandai berkata-kata untuk menenangkan Eyda. Eyda mengharapkan agar kebahagiaan di sisi Dani akan kekal selagi hayatnya. Namun, konflik mula membelenggu kehidupan mereka berdua dengan kehadiran Maya Maria (Ryun Ryry).

    Rupa-rupanya dalam diam, Dani ada hubungan sulit dengan pembantu peribadinya, Maya yang masih berstatus isteri kepada Mazli (Halim Radzi). Maya menagih kasih daripada Dani kerana Mazli bekerja berjauhan dan lebih pentingkan keluarga sendiri berbanding Maya. Demi memiliki Dani, Maya berani melawan dengan suaminya malah Maya sanggup menggunakan ilmu hitam untuk merampas Dani.

    Apakah yang akan berlaku seterusnya? Mampukah Eyda Amanda menyelamatkan rumah tangganya? Jangan ketinggalan untuk menonton Hati Tercarik Luka menerusi slot Samarinda, setiap hari Isnin hingga Khamis, pukul 10.00 malam di TV3 dan strim eksklusif secara HD melalui Tonton di www.tonton.com.my, muat turun aplikasi Tonton melalui Google Play atau App Store bermula 21 Disember 2023.

  • OPPO ColorOSHack 2023 Finals Wrap Up, Empowering Global Developers with Upgraded Pantanal Platform

    OPPO announced the top three winning teams of OPPO ColorOSHack 2023 following the demonstration of the final ten teams’ work at the Final Event in Kuala Lumpur.  

    “We are extremely grateful for the support from global developers who have come with us on this journey. The intelligent products and experiences we’ve brought to users so far are just a starting point.” said Nicole Zhang, General Manager of Software Innovation Center, OPPO. ” We are now looking ahead to what comes next—working closely with global developers all over the world to create services that understand users even more deeply, and respond to their needs more intelligently.”

    Innovations in Development and Improved Efficiency with Pantanal Developer Services

    Since 2021, OPPO has held the ColorOSHack competition annually. This year’s competition centered on the theme “Pantanal Service: Empowering Lives with Intelligence” and focused on the Asia-Pacific region, with an emphasis on three key scenarios: daily life, transportation, and entertainment. Participants were encouraged to learn the ropes of the Pantanal Platform, develop smart services catering to one of the three scenarios, and conceptualize scenarios and design forms of interaction so as to help explore a new service format for the Asia-Pacific market. Since the kick-off in July, the entire competition lasted over 150 days, attracting more than 200 participants from over 50 countries and regions around the world.

    Pantanal Platform‘s capabilities, including Aqua Dynamics, firstly introduced in ColorOS 14, provide a framework in which a service is developed based a single template and then automatically adapted for compatibility with phones, tablets, earbuds, and automotive head units, as well as different access points, such as widgets, the cover screen on a flip phone, and more. These new tools can further boost the development efficiency for developers. OPPO now provides video tutorials, written guides, and codelabs documentation, as well as a Pantanal IDE and Pantanal development framework, as part of a comprehensive suite of resources intended to help developers get to grips with Pantanal.

    Increasing Strength of Global Innovation Fuels Steady Eco-System Expansion

    OPPO ColorOSHack 2023 focused on three core scenarios, and was supplemented by a suite of newly upgraded developer services. Many excellent works emerged, of which ten were selected for the finals. The team creations addressed scenarios including navigation, payment, social interaction, study, health,

    and more. The final round lasted over three hours. A jury composed of OPPO experts and industry experts from the Asia-Pacific region evaluated the team’s work in terms of app prospects and

    innovation, and selected the top three winning teams. Each of the three will receive cash prizes to be put toward the incubation and implementation of their products.

    “NavOpp”, a transportation and payment project by the Malaysian team End2End, earned unanimous approval from the judges and won first place. The project is an app that provides cross-device support for transportation and payment services. Relying on Pantanal’s context-detection capabilities, the app enables the seamless flow of information and services, reducing steps and saving time on daily commutes and business trips, and making ubiquitous services more scalable.

    Through this year’s ColorOSHack, OPPO connected developers on a global scale. Pantanal Developer Services lightened the workload of developers, abstracting away the need to understand the complex underlying hardware of different devices. Based on the open capabilities of the Pantanal Platform, OPPO ColorOS will continue to provide developers with a foundation on which to innovate and a communication platform through which they can showcase their creations, bringing developers, entrepreneurs, and startups together to develop and implement innovative solutions, and bring a smarter life to 600 million ColorOS users.
