Fortunately, the plane only leaked oil and had no other problems. It happened to be passing through the airport, so there was no need for Nie Cai to take action.
After the plane landed normally, another plane was replaced to continue flying for the rest of the flight, without even disturbing the passengers.
But the subsequent flight was a Boeing 787, which did not have such luxurious things as sky suites. It could only have ordinary seats, and there would never be that opportunity again.
With complicated emotions, Nie Cai landed in Bari City, Country F.
However, due to the delay caused by the plane failure, he missed the people from the film restoration company who came to pick him up. Fortunately, Wang Zhiyu had the experience of studying in Europe. Instead, she became the team leader and took the train from Bari to Cannes directly.
As the venue for the Cannes Film Festival, one of the largest film festivals in the world, Cannes is not only a seaside resort, but also has a complete film industry chain, and the film film restoration industry is one of them.
The film restoration technology of Country F and Boot Country are both top-notch in the world, and both have their own merits. However, Country F has experience in restoring Soviet-made films, so Nie Cai and Qin Xiao unanimously chose to come here for restoration.
The office building of Carrot Film Restoration Company is inconspicuous. It is a hut hidden in a palm forest by the sea. It looks more like a resort, but it is the largest film restoration company in F country, and the largest film restoration company in Boot country. Laser Video is one of the top film restoration companies.
"Welcome to Cannes... We're really sorry our people didn't pick you up."
The person in charge of Carrot Film Restoration Company is named Piero, and he said apologetically as soon as he received Nie Cai.
Although the film restoration market is booming now, the industry is not big after all. Suddenly a big order comes, and it is a big order with a national background. For them, it is simply a dream.
The importance of the founding ceremony of the Chinese government is self-evident, and the Chinese government's influence in the world is increasing day by day. Doing this repair project well is more useful than any advertisement.
"It's okay, it's good to be able to find you anyway."
Nie Cai shook hands with Piero, and then said with a smile.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Nie Cai came directly to their workroom and got straight to the point.
"We need to carry out the highest quality 4k restoration. Your team is very professional. This is one of the reasons why we found you. I have only one request, which is to restore this box of film as completely as possible and convert it directly to digital format. , these films are very fragile and may not survive too many long-distance transportations.”
After speaking, Nie Cai pointed to the special box Qin Xiao carried with him, which contained the film of the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China.
In order to transport these precious and fragile films, Qin Xiao used special boxes equipped with constant temperature and humidity refrigeration equipment, and held them in his arms the whole time on the plane. He was very careful.
Piero nodded, patted his chest and said: "Of course, we are the best restoration team in the world, and we also have rich experience in restoring Soviet-made films. If you are not satisfied, you can find someone else."
"Excuse me, how long will it take you to repair this film?"
Zhang Xinyu on the side was a little curious and asked in French.
She had never participated in this restoration project before and was only temporarily
"Based on our previous communication and the samples sent, we have adjusted the potion. Half a month is enough. After the restoration, the digitized clips will definitely be much longer than your original video. But as for To what extent it can be repaired, we can only let God bless it.”
Piero spread his palms and said: "I can understand your mood. This is a very important moment for your country, but please also trust our studio. Our studio does not care about the money you pay. , or for our reputation, we will do our best.”
"Then I'll trouble you."
It would be great to have this result. Nie Cai thought for a while. The task of restoring the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China cannot be completed in a whole day. It only needs to restore the key parts and complete this precious historical material.
Now that the repair work has been handed over to them, they can only choose to trust the other party, and the only thing left is to wait.
After transferring the film to Piero, Nie Cai and others left here, checked into the hotel arranged by Piero, and prepared to stay here.
Pierrot is quite interesting. This hotel called Barriere Majestic is not cheap at first glance. It looks very luxurious. It is said to have a history of more than 80 years. It is full of classical atmosphere and There are three rooms upon opening.
Nie Cai put his luggage away and wanted to go out for a walk. After all, apart from his last trip to the United States, this was Nie Cai's first time going abroad.
However, Qin Xiao and Zhang Xinyu are just ordinary people. They don't have as much energy as Nie Cai. They are already exhausted after the long journey and just want to sleep in the hotel room, so Nie Cai doesn't force them and simply goes alone. Forget it, just hang out on the beach in Cannes.
As one of the most charming resorts in country F, the seaside in Cannes is indeed very beautiful, with this rich Mediterranean style, especially there are many beauties in bikinis that are eye-catching on the seaside.
Nie Cai didn't have any goals. He just wandered around the beach casually. He would go wherever he saw a good beach. By the time he was tired from walking, it was already dark.
He walked back based on his impression. After walking for a long time, he finally felt that the scenery in front of him seemed to match his number. As long as he passed through the lively and brightly lit beach in front, he would be the hotel where he was staying.
But at this moment, two men in suits stopped him on the beach.
"Hello, sir, please show me your invitation letter."
Nie Cai was a little confused, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have any invitation letter..."
"Then please go back. Uninvited outsiders are not allowed to enter the venue."
After hearing Nie Cai's answer, a man in a suit shook his head and said in a stiff tone.
"What, I'm a resident of the hotel, why don't you let me go back to the hotel?"
Nie Cai suddenly frowned and said.
The hotel's private beach had been decorated when he came. It seemed like he was setting up something. No one stopped him when he came, but now that the venue was in use, Nie Cai was stopped when he wanted to pass through.
"Are you a hotel resident? Then please show your room card."
After hearing Nie Cai's words, the man's tone softened slightly and he said.
"I didn't bring my room card. The room card is with my companion... But I can call him and ask him to come out to pick me up... "
Nie Cai frowned and was about to take out his phone when he was stunned.
His cell phone was actually out of battery. He had been walking outside for too long just now. From time to time he would take out his cell phone to take two photos, but he didn't notice that the battery was low. He was immediately blinded.
