Chapter 373
Chapter 373
Dongyang, Pangu Base.
In fact, the film was finalized more than a month ago. If Kang Chi wants to watch it in advance, he can watch it at any time.
However, in order to make this matter more ceremonial, Zhang Qing suggested holding an internal screening at the same time as the premiere.
So a laboratory in the base that had not yet been used was turned into a screening room. The audience included soldiers and generals from the Pingfengshan Base and scientific researchers from Datang Heavy Industry.
Of course, there was also Kang Chi himself.
After a slightly tense conversation, the movie quickly linked to another time and space through the protagonist’s thoughtful eyes: the Seagull Camera Factory in the 1990s.
The protagonist also changed from Kang Tao to Kang Tianming, a workshop worker in a camera manufacturing factory.
He and his wife both worked at the Seagull Camera Factory. When the electronic products from the island country entered the market, all the employees of the Seagull Factory were laid off.
So Kang Tianming, who was in trouble, was extremely disappointed with the craft of making cameras, and eventually became the biggest obstacle to his son Kang Tao’s career in the field of optics.
”This road is too difficult.”
”You can’t get any results by doing this.”
”They have decades of technology and hundreds of billions of capital. How can you fight them?”
”Just run our store steadily and make a living by repairing machines.”
”…”
However, in the face of his father’s doubts, Kang Tao insisted that someone must stand up and take this step, otherwise China’s optical technology will always lag behind the island country and be harvested by them.
However, although the times have changed, the situation has not improved. The dilemma of the Seagull Factory also appeared in the Panlong Optical Factory.
After rejecting Suoni’s acquisition, Panlong Optical Factory was immediately suppressed in various ways, and was entangled in lawsuits and eventually went bankrupt. Kang Tao also fell into self-doubt and despair.
This is obviously a major adaptation based on the needs of the plot.
In fact, it was only after Daqin Optics successfully exposed Suoni’s conspiracy that Fujita Yoshiki came to Kang Chi to discuss the acquisition.
But the order was reversed in the movie. First, the acquisition failed, and then the suppression was carried out, and the suppression was successful.
In the story of the movie, Kang Tao, who was burdened with huge debts due to the bankruptcy of the company, had to go back to continue running the camera repair shop. His father went crazy after his failure, but in order to help his son repay the debt, he still chose to sell the house at home, and the family moved to a dilapidated rental house.
In short, Li Chen’s story was changed as miserable as possible.
The purpose is to fully mobilize the audience’s emotions through this plot, so that everyone knows the suppression of domestic enterprises by foreign capital…
Fortunately, Kang Tao in the movie did not give up. He used every moment after work to study and research on his own, and met some elders and friends in the process.
Fang Qiming, Zhang Qing, Yan Hui, Wu Lihong and others can all find their own shadows in it.
They contributed money and effort to help Kang Tao re-establish the Panlong Optical Factory.
Doing scientific research and rubbing equipment is actually a very long process. Before Kang Chi made cameras and lithography machines, he also spent a lot of energy on silicon wafer manufacturing equipment. But the length of a movie is limited after all. Li Chen can’t shoot all of these in detail, so this section is mainly skipped quickly through a series of pictures.
Next, the villain took action again.
However, the products released by Panlong Optics this time are a little different…
This climax press conference naturally corresponds to the one held by Daqin Optics at the Bird’s Nest.
The emergence of domestic micro-single and lithography machines makes the villain’s methods pale and powerless. In this press conference, Li Chen used a lot of group shots to show the reactions of all parties present, and finally gave the shot to Kang Tianming lying in the hospital.
He looked at the TV screen and smiled for the first time in this film.
The film ended here. —— Although this movie is based on the story of Kang Chi, the adaptation is actually quite large. Not only has the story been selected and reorganized, but many characters have also been clearly symbolized.
For example, Kang Tianming in the film actually represents the old generation of Chinese camera manufacturing craftsmen,
And Kang Tao represents the new era of technological craftsmen.
Li Chen twisted the fate and mission of two generations into one family.
In addition, the time story lines of the two time and space are actually constantly intertwined and interspersed throughout the film, and finally connected into a complete story.
This technique is Nolan’s favorite, which can make a story that may have been very plain become more suspenseful, and at the same time add some historical weight and fullness.
Such an adaptation is definitely unqualified as a documentary biography,
But as a commercial film, or a film about promoting the spirit of scientific research, it can be regarded as a good niche boutique.
At least most people can watch it, and when the group portrait and music sounded at the climax of the final plot, it can definitely be ignited.
And Li Chen obviously has a serious literary disease, which is actually quite serious. This literary disease just makes this story more memorable.
At the same time, the photography, art, lighting, props, etc. of the whole film have basically been done to the extreme. For example, when the Panlong Optical Factory was re-established, the scene of Kang Tao making a photolithography machine was shot on site at the photolithography mechanism department of Datang Heavy Industry. The equipment in the lens is very real, professional and high-end.
As the film came to an end, Zhang Qing turned to look at Kang Chi and asked nervously: “What do you think?”
”Looking at my own story, I must have worn some tinted glasses. If I have to say… Although it feels a bit like an art film, it is generally a commercial film with a good rhythm. In addition, to be honest, the extent of this adaptation is greater than I thought.”
”Well… Do you think there is anything that has not been changed?”
”That’s not the case. It’s just that the role of Kang Tianming is probably going to make my dad confused and doubt his life…”
”Haha, this is indeed a problem. I can only trouble you to explain it to your uncle and aunt when you go back. This is a necessary artistic process.”
”Hmm…”
When the film was playing the end credits, the small screen next to it also showed some real Kang Chi, a mix of video clips that appeared in the mass media. There were shots of him working, some of the live press conferences, and
The last one that appeared was a photo of him receiving the academician certificate a few days ago…
”Haha, I have to use photos to make up the number.”
”I feel that the speed of filming this movie can’t keep up with Mr. Kang’s scientific research speed.”
After seeing the photo, the audience in the theater couldn’t help but start discussing it.
”Just ask when the second part will be released!”
”What will the second part be about? Building an airplane?”
”Isn’t Mr. Kang the chief engineer of nuclear fusion now? Maybe a nuclear fusion reactor?”
”…”
