An Eye for News

Chapter 400: File repair

Not long after Nie Cai finished drawing news points, Director Xue came back soon.

"Nie Cai, let's go... Such a large central station does not even have a decent camera. How can people carry out their work?"

His face was still a little blue, his brows were frowning, and he said angrily.

Judging from his appearance, it seemed that he had hit a big nail in the leader's place, otherwise it would not have made such a big fire.

Nie Cai reassuredly said: "It's okay, Director Xue, I'll just take this Panasonic M9000. I can use it, not picky."

He originally had an artifact like a pupil camera, and he didn't care about things outside his body like a camera.

"You are not ashamed of this, and I am also ashamed of it...Let's go, anyway, Ouyang's injury is still not healed, you use his machine first, and I will find another one later."

Director Xue suddenly became a little anxious, and took Nie Cai and walked out.

Let your subordinates take an old-fashioned machine to take pictures everywhere? This is not to be laughed at. Director Xue won't really let Nie Cai take this Panasonic M9000 out to embarrass him.

With a trace of regret, Nie Cai and Director Xue left the computer room together.

Nie Cai seemed to think of something, and said, "By the way, I heard Uncle Luo say just now, is there a file restoration team in our station?"

"Why did you mention this thing suddenly? I remember that there was indeed such a group, led by people from the technical department, and together with people from the Central Archives.

Director Xue was a little strange, and said, "I have an old friend in this group... By the way, he is the one I want to take you to, and let him find you a machine."

"Find? How to find?"

Nie Cai was a little surprised. Apart from the computer room, where can I get the camera?

"You'll know if you go with me."

Director Xue smiled mysteriously and said.

After speaking, Director Xue took Nie Cai into the stairs and walked downstairs.

I don't know how long it has been, Director Xue finally stopped here at the door of an office.

"The Third Office of CCTV Technology Department?"

Nie Cai glanced at the sign at the door, and said with some confusion.

"Yes, this is it."

Director Xue opened the door carelessly, and shouted at the somewhat dim office.

"Old Qin, how about people?"

The area of ​​the third office of the technical department is not large. It is hidden by thick curtains and looks very dim.

In this office, a thin middle-aged man opened the door from a dark room, opened the curtain and walked out, only to discover that the person was Director Xue.

He raised his head and said helplessly: "Old Qin, can you knock on the door of my office next time you come to my office? I was so scared that I almost fell what was in my hand."

Nie Cai followed his reputation and saw the middle-aged man walking out of Ali from the dark room with a pair of plastic gloves.

"Anyway, you are all in tatters here, and you will be broken if you break it."

Director Xue walked into the office unceremoniously and said, "I am missing a machine in my column. Can you get one for me?"

"Why are you looking for me? Go to the leader to apply for it. Aren't I all rags here?"

The little middle-aged man took off his plastic test gloves and put them away, humming.

"Old Qin, I'm not kidding... Let me introduce you, this is our new reporter Nie Cai."

Director Xue seemed to have a close relationship with this old Qin, and said to Nie Cai: "This is Qin Xiao from the technical department. We used to be an old partner, but now he has poor legs and feet, so he has gone to a technical post."

"Good Brother Qin."

Nie Cai didn't know what Director Xue brought him here, but he said honestly.

"Nie Cai? Are you the Nie Cai who made the limelight in "Eastern Time and Space" yesterday?"

This Qin Xiao was a little dismissive at first, but after hearing Nie Cai's name, he glanced at Nie Cai in surprise and said.

After the broadcast accident yesterday, Chen Mang immediately found someone from the technical department and asked them to repair the teleprompter. It happened that Qin Xiao got it.

Today he just went to the studio of "Eastern Time and Space" to upgrade the font library of the teleprompter so that the font library supports French and other multi-language fonts. This time, the previous crash will never happen again.

"It's not just being out of the limelight, today a bunch of people are rushing for him..."

Director Xue was a little proud, but when he thought of the things in the computer room, he was a little angry, and said, "Old Qin, tell you, today I went to the computer room to sign for the machine for Nie Cai, but I didn’t expect to be robbed of the machine by another column. I'm gone, I went to find the leaders and they didn't give any clear explanation. I can only find you here.

"It's easy to say... I have the bodies of three cameras here. They fell into the water accidentally when the group of people filmed the typhoon last time on the news network. The manufacturer said they had been scrapped, but I took them apart and just returned Can be assembled into a complete machine."

After speaking, this Qin Xiao took out a camera from the cabinet and handed it to Director Xue.

"Great, I know you will have private goods here. Is this machine stable to use?"

Qin Xiao's expression was slightly excited, and said.

As the most important department of the News Department, "News Network" has the best camera, which is Sony's new camera PXW-X180.

"Of course it is stable. I replaced a few of the chips with water in it, and I can restart it again... You can't worry about my technology? It's exactly the same as the original factory. If you don't believe it, you can take a while to check it."

Qin Xiao seemed to be a little disdainful, and said.

Director Xue turned on the camera and tried to take two shots. As expected, everything was normal. Then he handed the camera to Nie Cai.

"Qin Xiao can perform chip-level repairs. This technology is really amazing."

Nie Cai took the camera and said in surprise.

This kind of camera has a sophisticated structure and a high price. It costs tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands to send it back to the manufacturer for a single problem. However, Qin Xiao can repair this kind of professional camera by himself. This is a very remarkable skill.

With this technology, this Qin Xiao estimates that at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of maintenance expenses can be saved for Taili a year.

"What's the use of it, isn't it being sent to this third office..."

This Qin Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Well, Old Xue won't tell you anymore. I still have a pile of films waiting to be repaired. I should be able to finish another roll of film with ultrasound before get off work today."

He put on the plastic gloves set aside again, and walked back into the darkroom again.

Seeing Qin Xiao's figure disappear, Director Xue said with emotion, "Nie Cai, didn't you just say to find the archive restoration team? This old Qin is the leader of the archive restoration team."

"It's him?"

Nie Cai was a little surprised and said.

He heard Director Qin mumbling about terms such as ultrasonic washing and scanning digital intermediates, and wondered what he did. He didn't expect that he was the leader of this archive restoration team.

"That's right, the station started a project two years ago. It said it was a precious historical archive restoration project. It worked with the people of the Central Archives to restore some important historical materials. Lao Qin is the person in charge of our station."

Director Xue sighed and said: "This plan sounds very wonderful. It is to restore the precious historical files stored in our Central Station, so that these video materials can be seen again... But the problem is that the funds in the station are stingy. , The progress was extremely slow. Two years ago, there was still an assistant. Later that assistant couldn't bear it anymore, so he resigned and left."

"Originally, with Lao Qin's qualifications and skills, he must be a strong candidate for the director of the technical department, but after he was forcibly linked as the leader of the file restoration team, all his time was spent here, and what was terrible was to do it. No results, so the director of the technical department in the job competition last year did not have his share."

Nie Cai could understand, and said, "Director Xue, you mean...someone sent him here on purpose?"

"It is certainly true. Is it so easy to repair the materials of the Founding Ceremony? It has to be repaired frame by frame. If he is alone, it will take several years to repair it for tens of seconds, right?"

Director Xue was a little angry and said.

Lao Qin has been his old partner for many years, and he is a good man, but honest people are easy to be bullied. Such an obvious exclusion can't be seen, and he gets caught in a muddle.

At the beginning, the Taiwan leader said that this was a political task from the central government, and promised to give him the treatment of the director of the technical department after the repair was completed, and the people in the military system would give him medals. Now it’s fine. After taking this political task, it’s still impossible. Cancellation, it is estimated that the second half of his career will be spent here. "

At that time, Director Xue was shooting in a field. I didn’t know about it and didn’t discuss it with Lao Qin. Otherwise, he would never let Lao Qin take up this political task. This is obviously the trick set by the director of the technical department of Jinggang. .

I heard that the director of Jinggang's technical department was a nephew of the Taiwanese leader. With this relationship, it is no wonder that Lao Qin, who wanted to be the director of Jinggang's technical department, was sent here.

"The Founding Ceremony? It turns out that the fragment of the Founding Ceremony he just restored..."

Nie Cai's heart suddenly moved and said in surprise.

Director Xue said just now that he would take himself to find the archive restoration team. He hadn't thought that the archive restoration team would be such a broken and small office.

Now that I heard Director Xue's words, Nie Cai understood that the archive restoration team of feelings is only a polished commander like Old Qin!

"I want to see Brother Qin's work... can it work? I am particularly interested in these antiques and want to take a look."

Nie Cai put down the camera in his hand, took a look at the darkroom Qin Xiao had just entered, and said.

"Of course it can. Those tatters are burnt and have been exposed for a long time. Putting them in the darkroom is just taking off their pants and farting."

Director Xue nodded and took the initiative to walk in with Nie Cai.

Opening the thick curtain at the door, I saw only dim dark red light in this narrow darkroom, and all kinds of equipment were piled up disorderly, making it even smaller.

"Old Xue, why don't you go back, come here to get in the way?"

Qin Xiao looked at Director Xue and Nie Cai who walked in, and said with a frown.

He wears plastic gloves, holding a piece of film and soaking it in a pool, a piece of equipment is buzzing, splashing a thin spray of water.

"Brother Qin, I heard that you repaired the film of "The Founding Ceremony of the Country". I took a look here. I am particularly interested in these things..."

Nie Cai took a look and found that the piece of film in Qin Xiao's hand really glowed with a dazzling golden light, and she couldn't help but immediately become excited.

Sure enough, it was the film for the founding ceremony. I didn't expect this film to be in Qin Xiao's hands.

"What's so good about this...I am annoyed to fix these things every day, but unfortunately I can't get rid of it, otherwise I will be punished by military discipline. Alas, you can watch it whatever you want."

After speaking, he pointed to a laptop in the darkroom and said, “Only about two minutes of film in the plate of film in the table is relatively complete. I repaired it for almost two years. By the time of thirty seconds, the film at the back will be more severely damaged, and I don’t know when and how long it will be before the repair will be completed."

Qin Xiao sighed and introduced helplessly.

Regardless of the age of the film, these motion picture films will have to start its restoration process one day. This is because all films have a shelf life.

It is said that a good quality film can guarantee the quality of 1250 under the most ideal conditions, but due to various reasons, many films are not up to ideal conditions.

These old films will have various damages such as fading, scratches, tearing, peeling of the picture, and damage to the soundtrack during the preservation process. Therefore, professional film repair work has emerged as the times require, and the quality of old films has been improved. The remake is a magic weapon for many film companies in Europe and America to generate revenue.

But the film of the Founding Ceremony has been released for too long. Russian-made things have always been known for its roughness. The quality of the film is naturally not much better. This makes the restoration of the Founding Ceremony video more difficult.

Moreover, due to the fire, most of these films have been burned. This kind of burned film is more difficult to repair.

Relatively complete film is okay. First, put the film in a special syrup, and clean the film by ultrasonic washing. After finishing, the film is scanned as a digital intermediate film, and output to the hard disk, and then through the digital intermediate film Color correction and restoration. In view of the different degrees of film fading, colorists need to correct the colors of the film. After that, there are five tasks to be carried out: automatic repair, manual removal of dirty spots and scratches, removal of jitter, removal of flicker, and calculation of film loss. All the above tasks need to be repaired frame by frame.

The workload of a one-hour movie is about 140,000 frames. When you think about it, the workload is huge, and this is only the restoration of the picture, not including the restoration of the audio.

Sound restoration requires grabbing digital format files from the film, and using audio restoration equipment to reduce noise and restore sound. After the sound is repaired, the finished video and audio products after the repair should be synthesized, and the picture and sound should be complemented for special situations. After the repair is completed, the synthesized data is output to the tape library for storage, and packaged into a unified format, and HD-D5 or HD-SR high-definition video tapes are transcribed for identification and transcoding. This is the preliminary completion of the work.

The status of the Central Archives is detached, and it is estimated that they did not take this restoration work seriously. Almost all the specific work was done by a person from the Central Station, that is, Qin Xiao alone.

Such a huge amount of work is weighing on him, it is simply a bottomless pit, no wonder Director Xue will fight for his old partner Qin Xiao!
