According to the CCTV6 "Film Critic Today" program, many old films have been stored for a long time, and various spots, scratches, or noise will appear on them.
Under normal circumstances, some scratches can be removed by physical repair in the early stage, but many still need to be digitally repaired, that is, after scanning the old film into a digital file, repair it on this basis.
According to the previous report of Observer.com, only the preparation for digital restoration is very "torturous": the film is carefully inspected, repaired, wiped, watered, rinsed with tetrachloroethylene, and then converted into digital format. The picture, color, sound, etc. are adjusted and projected on the big screen for identification. After the defect is found, it will be reworked and modified... The specific repair process of
is very complicated, even if it is just a drop of dust. When you put it on the film and put it on the big screen, it will immediately zoom in hundreds of times. Therefore, the restoration work tests the patience of every restorer. According to Li Ran from the technical department of the
film channel, sometimes when you encounter a movie that is difficult to repair, you may only be able to repair it for 4 or 5 seconds in a day, requiring the staff to find the problem over and over again.

CCTV6 film channel, introduced that the film is very particular about light, shadow, and color when shooting, and they all incorporate the director's creative intentions. Therefore, this requires the restorer to have a certain grasp of the film.
Shanghai Film Technology Factory senior film restorer Hu Yu'e also mentioned, "After a piece of material is scanned, the color and atmosphere may be completely different", which will affect the effect of the entire film, and even more. Affecting the perception of the audience is also one of the key factors affecting the quality of the entire movie.

also regained its appearance;
In fact, sometimes some viewers are not careful. Look, some flaws in the movie will not be noticed. Li Ran believes that it cannot be said that the audience can't see it, or that a certain frame of the picture is fortunately passed by, and does not care, "I still have to be responsible for each movie." .
"deadly smashed" frame by frame. The CCTV movie channel's work team has many post-90s figures. A boy born in the 90s introduced that he came here as soon as he graduated. Unexpectedly, the film restoration will be carried out frame by frame. , A lot of work, but also very proud.
Wei Xiaoling believes that the restorers are behind the scenes all the year round, and the time spent repairing a movie sometimes exceeds the time of shooting a movie. “The kind of creation they put into is no less than the filmmakers back then.”
In her opinion, the young restorers not only put emotions into the old movies, but also injected the perspective of young viewers, "They are repairing a piece of history."
