Restoring the film was a technical job. Although Nie Cai was anxious, it was useless to be anxious. He could only wait for professionals like Qin Xiao to slowly repair it frame by frame.
The problem is that Qin Xiao seems to be the only one working in the archive restoration team now. Almost two years have passed, and he has only repaired twelve rolls of film. On average, it takes about two months to repair one film. Progress is at a snail's pace.
At this rate, it will take a long time to collect enough fragments of news permissions to combine them into S-level permissions
What particularly worries Nie Cai is that Qin Xiao is now full of depression and seems to be planning to resign, but he has not yet made up his mind.
If he really resigns and leaves this mess, then this file restoration team will really exist in name only!
Therefore, Nie Cai said nothing to make Qin Xiao resign, and he also tried every means to increase the speed of repair so that he could quickly obtain the S-level authority he dreamed of!
"Xiao Nie, I didn't fully record the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China. This is a pity for all Chinese people. To be honest, I was very enthusiastic about this job at the beginning, but the distance between ideal and reality is too big. Big…”
Qin Xiao puffed out a puff of smoke and said helplessly: "Now the founding ceremony archives restoration team wants money but no one. The grandpa in the stage doesn't love grandma, and the National Archives is like playing football. You let me How can I continue to do this? It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw... If a professional film restoration team from abroad is allowed to join in, the progress will definitely be much faster than it is now."
The foreign film industry has developed for so many years and has already gained rich experience. Remastered versions, enhanced versions, 3D versions and even 4K high-definition versions of various classic old films can still earn reputation and reputation after being released after restoration. Box office, this is the gap in the industry chain.
People have the motivation to restore those old films and old films, but I can only rely on the meager funding. It's strange that the progress can be the same.
"Is there really no way to get more funding?"
Nie Cai frowned and said.
In the final analysis, it is still a question of money. A penny can't help a hero. All the equipment and manpower required to restore the film are just money. Without money, it is impossible to carry out the work.
Restoring the video of the Founding Ceremony is a huge and costly project that no one department or individual can afford.
"There is no other way. I have estimated that the preliminary restoration of the video of the Founding Ceremony will cost at least 10 million yuan. I have submitted countless reports to various departments in the past two years, but they are all false and no one pays attention to them. Even those who responded said they were powerless and unable to provide corresponding help.”
Qin Xiao shook his head and said.
Repair the video of the Founding Ceremony? Those departments are very supportive and even willing to provide various conveniences, but no one has solved the problem of funds.
Nie Cai frowned when he heard that the 10 million yuan was only for preliminary repairs. Although he fully hoped to restore the video data of the Founding Ceremony as soon as possible, it was not enough even if he filled in all his net worth. This thing was too big. Burning money.
"Sigh, it's not enough to rely solely on state funding. Now the state's funding for two years only adds up to more than a hundred thousand yuan. We can barely buy the necessary equipment. However, a complete industry has been formed for the restoration of old foreign films. Chain, they used the help of professional media companies to know how to plan the restoration and re-screening of an old movie into a cultural event. However, due to the political nature of the founding ceremony, the feasibility report on commercial sponsorship I wrote was directly rejected. ”
Qin Xiao's tone was full of helplessness. When he first served as the leader of this archive restoration team, he studied restoration technology at the Bologna Film Archive in Italy for a period of time, and knew that the restoration time of foreign films is actually very long.
These old films and old films are not only for cultural inheritance and historical data preservation, but because of their preciousness, they can unearth a lot of hidden value.
Many luxury brands, such as luxury watches and bags, will sponsor the restoration of old films and films, thereby connecting them with their cultural heritage and improving their own brand culture or style.
It’s not that Qin Xiao hasn’t thought about this approach, and even went to great lengths to find sponsors. However, firstly, due to the political nature of this founding ceremony, those approving above will be cautious, and secondly, the country is aware of the history of old film There was no one who had cultural heritage and was willing to invest money to do it. He found several sponsors, but they all rejected them later. After all, the investment of tens of millions is not small.
"The operation of a media company?"
Hearing this, Nie Cai's heart suddenly moved!
There is no doubt about the popularity of this founding ceremony film, and finding sponsors may be the right way to go.
Qin Xiao is just an ordinary person. First, he has no connections, and second, he has no business experience. How can he run this large project worth tens of millions by himself
But... Nie Cai happened to know someone who had connections and business experience.
"Perhaps I should go find Wang Zhiyu, she should be able to find a solution!"
Nie Cai's heart moved and he said secretly.
"Old Qin, don't be discouraged yet. I heard that your old man is hospitalized? I have been an old friend for more than 20 years. If you are short of money, just tell me..."
Director Xue sighed with a heavy tone and patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder.
"It doesn't have to go to this level yet. If I can't stand it any longer, I'll find you again..."
Qin Xiao shook his head and said gratefully.
Director Xue comforted him a few more words, and then left with Nie Cai.
"Okay, Nie Cai, you have completed the procedures now. Congratulations on becoming a member of CCTV... But there seems to be nothing to congratulate. I heard that you seem to have offended Cheng Gang. This man is not very popular. You Be careful of his revenge, don't end up like Lao Qin."
Seeing no one around, Director Xue whispered to Nie Cai.
Nie Cai was slightly grateful and said quickly: "I understand, thank you Director Xue for your concern."
"It's good to know. Anyway, there hasn't been much going on in the column lately. Just go and do whatever you need to do and settle down in the capital first."
Director Xue waved his hand and smiled.
"Okay, I just have something to do. If I don't have anything else to do, I'll take a leave first."
Nie Cai's eyes lit up and he said.
His heart was tickled by the S-level authority that could be combined, and he was about to go find Wang Zhiyu.
Every time a current top-level authority appears, the super news system will unlock new functions. At present, it seems that Nie Cai will have no other way to obtain the S-level authority for a while, so repair the founding ceremony and combine this S-level Permission was Nie Cai's only way out.
