At this time, Director Xue's eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at the pile of cameras placed on the cabinet.
"Uncle Luo, when did the computer room get a new batch of machines, why didn't you tell me?"
After CCTV moved to the new building, the cameras were gradually updated in batches. However, due to the shortage of people, the cameras were usually snatched away by others as soon as they arrived.
In principle, a TV station uses one reporter and one camera. Unless there are special circumstances, they will not switch to another one.
Director Xue's column is still using old-style cameras. I didn't expect to bring Nie Cai to report, and I encountered such a good thing as soon as I came here.
"Hey, those cameras are not good. They have been reserved for people a long time ago. They were all taken by the documentary channel's filming people. Do they want to expand the production team... Or should we choose something else." The old man said quickly.
Director Xue took a closer look and saw that indeed, these cameras had been labeled with the logos of other columns, and he could only sigh helplessly.
"I knew it couldn't be such a good thing. The resources are all tilted towards these emotional columns. I'll apply to the station leaders some other time. Do you understand the news establishment..."
Director Xue felt helpless and said, "In that case, please Uncle Luo, please get me a semi-shoulder-mounted camera. It's better to get a newer one. I'll fill out the signature form for Nie Cai."
Tip of the Tongue is a phenomenal brand of CCTV, which has brought a huge reputation to CCTV and can even be said to have turned a corner. However, Director Xue has always been a little uncomfortable with this kind of documentary that pleases the audience.
The first season of Bite of Tongue was okay, at least it could be regarded as a decent documentary, but the second season of Bite of Tongue was reduced to an emotional column, playing all kinds of family cards and emotional cards, completely deviating from the original intention of the documentary, so Director Xue simply It is regarded as an emotional column.
However, its ratings are high, its brand influence is great, and it brings huge advertising revenue to CCTV. Therefore, it is very bullish. It can get resources such as equipment and funds, and other columns can only stare at it.
"Wait, let me see if there is anything left in the backup machine."
Uncle Luo bent down, took out a large bunch of keys, and walked into the depths of the cabinet, seemingly looking for something.
Not long after, Uncle Luo walked out with a camera bag in each hand.
"I'm lucky. There are two Sony pmw-ex280s here. They are last year's machines and they are still very new... Just pick which one is easier to use."
Uncle Luo opened the camera bag, glanced at the number on the camera, and said.
"Not bad. Nie Cai, you want a half-shoulder handheld camera. This camera should be able to meet your requirements. I remember that the team of reporters who filmed the Somali escort last year used this camera. It is suitable for harsh environments. Get off work."
Director Xue has worked at CCTV for so many years, and he knows the performance of this machine as soon as he hears the model number.
This Sony pmw-ex280 is a professional-grade camera. The body is considered portable among pheasant catching cameras. The storage medium is an SXS memory card. It uses a 1/2-inch imaging device and can still maintain the image in low light conditions. Very good picture quality, very suitable for news gathering work. "
"Just this one, Uncle Luo, do I want to sign this form?"
Nie Cai didn't know much about cameras. Although his pupil camera couldn't compare to movie-level cameras in terms of portability and image quality, it could definitely beat most portable cameras instantly.
He held the camera purely to deceive others and "cover" his pupil camera.
"That's right, sign and write down the 12-digit code on the bottom of the machine..."
Uncle Luo was talking, but at this moment, the door of the computer room opened with a bang.
A young man ran over panting, and shouted to Uncle Luo as soon as he entered the door: "Uncle Luo, we are about to set off. The director said that today's shooting will require four cameras, and we don't have enough machines."
"But there are only a few digital movie cameras sponsored by the manufacturer, and your Tongue 3 film crew took them away. Now they are all gone."
Uncle Luo said with a troubled look on his face.
Even rich people like China Central Television don't buy too many expensive digital movie cameras that cost millions. Many of them are leased after signing agreements with manufacturers.
"It's okay, it's just the auxiliary camera position. Just these two cameras... I won't say any more. The director is waiting for me. Uncle Luo will help me register..."
The young man seemed to be in a hurry and didn't even have time to register. He grabbed the camera on the table and ran away.
"Wait, this camera belongs to us, are you trying to steal it?"
Seeing that this young man actually planned to take the camera away, Director Xue finally couldn't help it anymore, blocked his way and said.
When the young man saw Director Xue stopping him, he was about to get angry, but when he looked at Director Xue's work permit, he found that he was actually a director, so he explained: "We, the director, are in a hurry and have no choice. Please be accommodating... ours The work is more important, and this is what the station leaders have instructed in a special meeting, and priority is given to ensuring our shooting progress."
Director Xue was startled. In just a moment, the young man ran out of the door of the computer room and disappeared in a flash.
Uncle Luo shrugged helplessly and walked towards the cabinet again. As he walked, he said: "The leader of the station did indeed say such things. Director Xue, just accept it. I will go look for it..."
"Excuse me, Uncle Luo, please find a more useful machine."
Director Xue took a deep breath and said angrily.
In the face of the huge income-generating ability, the film crew of Tongue 3 is quite tough. It is even said that some people have secretly contacted outside media companies and are preparing to quit and work alone.
They have created hundreds of millions of yuan in advertising and brand value for Taili, but due to the system, the rewards they received were pitiful. Of course, these people felt a little unbalanced.
Although Director Xue was not convinced, the Taiwan leaders had clearly given instructions, and there was nothing they could do if they had priority.
"The Sony ones are no longer available, do you want the Panasonic ones?"
From the depths of the cabinet, Uncle Luo's old voice came and said.
"Don't have a Sony one? Forget it, just a Panasonic one. I'll apply for one when I get a new machine."
Director Xue frowned and said.
Nowadays, people in the station actually prefer Sony. Most of the cameras in the central station are Sony, and only a few are Panasonic.
You can tell which one is more popular by looking at the number of such cameras.
Although Sony has suffered losses in recent years, it has shifted its focus from consumer-level equipment back to professional-level equipment. It is very sincere in upgrading broadcast camera equipment.
But since there is no Sony in the backup machine, forget it and use it for the time being.
"Okay... I'll look for it again."
Uncle Luo's voice seemed to be farther away, as if he had entered the deepest part of the cabinet.
After a while, Uncle Luo walked out tremblingly, holding a heavy camera in his hand.
