Chapter 207 He Jiyue is disheartened
In addition to the insurance of technology retention, Kang Chi has also set up a patent fortress on materials such as positive and negative electrodes and electrolytes.
However, the technology of this patent barrier can only produce sodium batteries with an energy density of 150Wh/kg.
If someone wants to bypass this barrier and produce sodium-ion batteries with the same or even higher energy density, the difficulty will increase exponentially.
In fact, this is what the islanders did with hydrogen energy.
They built a toll station directly at the starting point of the hydrogen energy technology route, so that everyone who wants to take this road has to pay a protection fee.
The key is that they haven’t built the road yet, and if you want to go this way, you have to build the road yourself.
So except for the island countries, other countries are not interested in playing hydrogen energy with them at all.
However, Kang Chi was much more kind than them. He not only built a toll booth, but also repaired the road behind. If others really wanted to go, he didn’t mind charging them a toll to let them pass.
But after 300Wh/kg, sorry, that was his private domain.
Besides, the road from 150-300Wh/kg was so long that it would take an average person ten or eight years to complete it.
And by that time, sodium batteries might be almost replaced by new batteries…—— Huacheng, Yaotai Food Light Film and Television Media Co., Ltd.
When He Jiyue received the express from the SF courier, he was actually resistant in his heart.
Because this express almost emptied his pockets…
On the surface, he was the boss of a film and television media company. It sounded very glorious, but in fact, there were only two people in this company.
He, and his young wife.
The company was actually a “small workshop” that had just been established not long ago, and it couldn’t even be called a studio.
He Jiyue originally worked as a cameraman in an outsourcing company for a TV column. He was actually quite happy that the food program he shot could be broadcast to the audience on TV.
However, the name of the outsourcing company never appeared in the list of creators at the end of the film, let alone a small cameraman from the outsourcing company.
And now even the TV station is very competitive, let alone their outsourcing company.
All employees were squeezed to death. Under the banner of the TV station, batches of “interns” were recruited to change the company’s blood, with the purpose of eliminating these “high-paid” old employees who had worked for a long time.
Although the group of interns called him master and teacher every day, God knows that their “Teacher He” actually only earned more than 6,000 yuan a month…
In the end, He Jiyue resigned, and then discussed with his wife, and finally decided to run the entire company himself and start a self-media business.
Unfortunately, the self-media industry is also very involuted.
He Jiyue’s video shooting skills are indeed great, but he is not good at producing video content with a sense of the Internet. Therefore, after more than half a year, he can only say that he is not starving to death.
Whether he can add food depends on whether he can make some extra money.
This so-called extra money is to shoot product videos for customers, especially food videos, which he is good at.
Food shooting is a great test of photography skills, especially the technology of lighting arrangement. Only when the light is transparent can the picture be appetizing, and this is what He Jiyue is best at.
So the self-media did not take off, but he gradually became famous for shooting food advertisements, so he planned to develop food advertisement shooting into his main business next.
But in addition to testing photography skills, food shooting also has a very critical thing, that is, shooting equipment.
Because shooting food requires a lot of slow motion lenses, only through slow motion can the most subtle aspects of food be captured. For example, pouring hot oil on a plate of steamed fish is a matter of a moment, but through the slow motion lens, you can clearly see the moment when the fish and hot oil come into contact, and the fragrant aroma that comes out…
Therefore, ordinary SLRs and micro-singles cannot support He Jiyue to shoot more professional and high-end food advertisements.
In the past, he used the company’s equipment in the company. He only had a 5D3 that his family bought for him when he was in college.
It was barely enough to shoot ordinary videos with it, but it severely limited his professional level and business expansion when used to shoot food videos.
Therefore, the equipment must be updated.
But professional cameras are too expensive. RED and ARRIThere is no need to think about it. The cheapest camera body alone costs hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is not affordable for a small film and television workshop like him.
The only two video micro-singles that he can reach by standing on tiptoe are probably Sony’s A7S3 and Songxia’s GH5S.
Among them, GH5S is relatively cheap. You can buy a camera body and a set of lenses and other accessories for about 20,000 yuan.
However, since the size of the M3/4 sensor is too small, its upscaling quality has very serious image quality compression as the frame rate increases. Especially after it is upgraded to 240 frames, it is not only full of noise, but also often has horizontal stripes. In addition, it can only shoot 1080P upscaling, so the image quality is not commercially available.
The only thing left is A7S3. This Sony full-frame video micro-single has a powerful feature, which is that it can shoot 4K 120 frames upscaling.
However, 120 frames upscaling is too low for food photography. In addition, e-commerce product videos are mainly 1080P, so He Jiyue doesn’t really use it.
What he is mainly concerned about is 1080P 240 frames upscaling.
The upscaling quality of A7S3 in 1080P shooting is better than GH5S, and it also has a 10-bit 4:2:2 color depth. The space for post-production color adjustment is much larger than GH5S, and the color will not be broken by pulling the curve casually.
But the price, because the Wuan produced by Daqin Optics did not threaten Sony’s video micro-single, this machine not only did not reduce the price, but also increased the price. It is more than twice as expensive as GH5S, costing 25,999 yuan.
With the lens, memory card and other accessories, the whole set will cost at least 50,000 or 60,000 yuan.
For He Jiyue, who is not well-off and has just started his career, this is still very stressful.
And once you decide to develop into professional food photography, the lighting equipment must also keep up, right?
A set of 300W LED video lights will cost more than 10,000 yuan.
And because the shutter speed is usually faster, the exposure time of each frame is limited, so it is very light-consuming, at least 500W is required, and one light costs 6,000 or 7,000 yuan.
This is when domestic brands have lowered their prices…
Anyway, photography is a waste of money, not to mention professional photography.
Originally, He Jiyue thought that Daqin Optics would be his savior, especially when he watched the video of his neighbor Li and heard him say that Daqin Optics’ video machine would be released soon.
As a result,
I believed his ghost! He Jiyue waited for more than three months, and eight months had passed since his neighbor Li posted the video.
There was no trace of Daqin Optics’ video machine! For this matter, he would go to Li’s video every now and then to urge Daqin Optics’ official Weibo to update.
Until recently, when he saw netizens discussing Mr. Kang’s charging station, he finally became discouraged and decided not to wait any longer.
So he decisively bought an A7S3.
Body -25999,
24-70mm F2.8 zoom lens, -10999,
90mm F2.8 macro lens, -6999,
160G Type A card, -2999,
……
Just received the goods today,
My heart is still bleeding.
I don’t know how many videos he has to shoot and how many late nights he has to spend editing videos to earn back the equipment fee…
Just as He Jiyue took out his mobile phone and prepared to shoot an unboxing video in case there were any problems and he needed to contact after-sales service, a new product reminder from Taobao suddenly popped up on the top of the screen.
