Chapter 159: Wrong company

Translated by me, edited by drpetro.

Now with the ever increasing quality standards for film pictures demanded by audience, the film arms in movies, drama, and sport matches displayed their unrivaled importance.

Especially during soccer matches. A giant film arm would be able to perfectly capture the scenes of the fierce competition going on, while also being able to easily zoom into the audience and show the nervousness only present within the stadium.

Moreover, the film arms had the special advantage of being able to capture uncommon angles that were uncoverable by traditional stationary cameras.

Senliu, a film equipment manufacturer, was well known for their high quality film arms domestically.

In the morning of the next day, a technician from Senliu, after traveling long distances over night, finally arrived.

These kinds of 80 meter long giants, of course, had poorer wind resistance, but clearly there shouldn’t be any problems with film under yesterday’s Category 2 wind speeds.

Today the weather report was still the same, no high wind forecasted, yet the technician was still scratching his head as to why the arm was shaking this much.

“Can the report not be accurate?” The technician looked up at the extended film arm, which is clearly shaking as if it was experiencing Category 7 winds.

There wasn’t much to examine for the arm, it was mainly to check the condition of the cables responsible for turning movements and see if there were problems with the motors.

He checked twice, yet still nothing. Thus, the technician could only look elsewhere for the reason.

Ding Yin was now straight up pissed off. This urban fantasy movie had a budget of 300 million, but no matter if it was the filming schedule or the special effects delivery date, they were all basically set in stone.

Now that the film arm problem remain unfixed, then all the big scenes wouldn’t be able to be filmed at all.

“If these are really big winds, then tell me, where the heck can I use the arms I bought from you guys? Do I have to like construct a 100 meter tall film studio to install these two arms?”

Ding Yin was now pissed to the point of nearly having popped out his eyes: “You want me to pull out the contract and compare this arm’s wind resistance stats?”

“Don’t, director calm down.” How could the technician begin to have a shouting match with this famous director.

“Director, can I get half a day’s time?” The technician carefully asked.

Having received the director’s agreement, he quickly pulled out tools from his tool bag, and began to slowly examine the arm as he retracted it. Yet, even after the quick passing of half a day, he still wasn’t able to find any fault.

After extending again, still the same situation.

Ding Yin had already picked up the phone, even with the technician non-stop explaining on the side.

The technician begged him to not call his boss, to give him some more time, yet Ding Yin had already dialed the numbers.

Two minutes later, the technician got a call from his boss.

This twenty some year old technician’s face first turned red, then slowly pale, then from pale to utter rage.

When the call reached the end, the technician finally exploded and roared: “Dock dock dock, you freaking only know how to dock my pay 24/7, I quit, damn you. Come here and fix this mess yourself.”

Having finished, the technician kicked away the toolbag like a soccer bag, and the jacket that had the company’s logo on it was ripped apart and tossed away like a piece of garbage.

The cameramen on the side were stunned, as was Ding Yin, yet they stared at each other completely lost for words.

This technician, after traveling such a long distance, was actually quitting like this?”

“Bro calm down, calm down. I’ll give you more time.” Ding Yin, after a bit of hesitation, comforted: “ How about I call you boss again to have him not dock you pay and pay for your transportation fee as well?”
