Lu Yiyun was operating the automatic dog washing machine, and the others and elfins were watching from the side. The pet bathroom was already narrow, so it was even more crowded now. At that moment, Zhang Zian's phone rang with a message notification, and he squeezed out of the pet bathroom.
He unlocked the screen and saw that it was the Dog Warrior crew's WeChat group that had been silent for a long time.
The members of the crew were scattered all over the place. Some were celebrating the New Year at home, and some had joined the new crew to participate in the filming of a new movie. Other than a few hours of excitement on New Year's Eve because of the red envelopes, no one had spoken for a long time.
Producer Nie Yuan: "The following actors and actresses, please prepare your passports and German visas immediately to attend the premiere of Dog Warrior at the Berlin Film Festival, as well as attend the award ceremony afterwards. I will be the leader, and Director Feng will be the assistant leader. In principle, all the people (and dogs) whose names are mentioned must attend. If you are unable to attend, please message me privately to explain the situation.

…
The WeChat group was lively again. Everyone was looking forward to the Berlin Film Festival.
When they signed the contract, there was a clause in the contract that Party B (the actors and actresses) had to actively cooperate with Party A (the crew)'s commercial publicity and promotion, including but not limited to premieres, press conferences, and so on. As for the expenses, of course, Party A would be responsible for them. Signing the contract meant that he agreed to these clauses, and Zhang Zian, who thought that he was illiterate, certainly had to abide by them.
However, Nie Yuan's words made it sound like he was part of Famous's entourage …
He had his passport, which he had done before he went to the United States last time, but he still had to go to the consulate to get a visa to go to Germany. Apart from that, he also had to go through the check-in procedures for Famous. Obviously, it couldn't enter the passenger cabin in the name of scientific research like Richard, and it couldn't be kept in his phone and released in Germany. That might raise suspicions. After all, as the main actor, it would receive a lot of attention, especially from the paparazzi.
There might be a Western reporter who wanted to make a big news story who would check which flight Famous took. If they couldn't find the relevant boarding information, they would be exposed …
"Famous."
He waved to Famous, called it to the second floor, and explained the situation to it, mainly explaining that it had to be placed in the plane's oxygen chamber and could not enter the passenger cabin.
Before the Spring Festival, some domestic airlines had introduced cabin pet transportation services, allowing some pets to travel with their owners to the destination, but not all pets could do so. The weight of the pet, together with the cage, could not exceed five kilograms, which meant that most adult dogs and a small number of adult cats were excluded. For example, some kind of orange cat, Fina might not be able to …
In addition, this service was only for domestic cats and dogs. Other types of pets were not included.
Famous weighed far more than five kilograms, so it definitely couldn't be brought into the passenger cabin. It had to be checked in the oxygen cabin.
Zhang Zian explained all this because he was afraid that Famous would feel insulted. After all, it was not an ordinary dog, but an elfin.
Famous didn't think much of it.
"It's okay." It said proudly and magnanimously, "I'm an actor. I have to love my job and work hard. Not to mention the oxygen chamber, as long as it's necessary for work, I can even fly out of the plane."
Zhang Zian was speechless. The tower controller would definitely not allow the plane to take off.
"Right, where did you say we were going?" Famous asked.
"Germany, Berlin. It should be considered your hometown, right?" Zhang Zian asked.
"Germany …"
Famous tilted its head and looked to the far west. Its eyes were filled with thoughts that it couldn't explain. There was a period of time when it thought that it was Ding Ding Ren, that it came from the German battlefield of World War I. But now it knew that it wasn't. Maybe it was just an ordinary German Shepherd that had wandered to the United States. It had long forgotten where its real hometown was.
"I'm an actor. It doesn't matter where my hometown is," it said. "If necessary, I can travel all over the world."
Zhang Zian nodded. "When you go to Berlin this time, there will definitely be a lot of people who will know you and hear your name. Maybe there will be new movie offers."
Famous thought carefully, shook its head, and said, "There will probably be new movie offers, but I don't want to take any bad movies. Forget about those family sitcoms or reality shows on TV. Those can be played by ordinary dogs. I won't lower myself to play those kinds of roles — I've played too many of those roles before."
That was true. Asking it to play a role that stuck out its tongue and acted cute at home was like killing a chicken with a butcher's knife. It was also a humiliation to its acting skills.
It emphasized, "So you must have a good control over the script. If it looks like a poorly made film that challenges the audience's IQ, just help me reject it. I'd rather be idle at home like Feng Xuan than act in it."
"What kind of script do you prefer?" Zhang Zian asked. "Give me a rough idea so that I can have an idea."
It thought about it and said, "It has to have a certain meaning. Even if it can't be thought-provoking, at least it can't be like a popcorn movie that you forget after watching it."
"Okay, no problem," Zhang Zian agreed.
"Oh, there's one more thing." Famous was about to go downstairs, but it stopped. "I heard from Richard that you donated the money you earned from selling the cat a few days ago?"
Richard, this big mouth …
Zhang Zian made up his mind that tonight, not only would he hang Richard upside down, but he would also tie its mouth.
"Yes, but it wasn't much," he admitted.
"Why?" It asked seriously. "A few thousand dollars is just a drop in the bucket for cancer research. Even if you want to commemorate Cathy, there are other ways, right?"
Zhang Zian didn't expect it to ask such a question. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "That's true, but … 1.4 million people in the world die of lung cancer every year, an average of three people every minute. In the few minutes we've been talking, more than a dozen people have died of lung cancer. A few thousand dollars, even if it can only advance the time of curing lung cancer by one minute, is equivalent to saving three lives. So even if it's just a drop in the bucket, I think there's no other way to commemorate Cathy better than this. "
"Really? I think so too. Regarding the preparation before going abroad, you should have a lot of things to do, right? I'll go down first. "
After saying that, Famous went downstairs.
In its heart, it still wanted to become an angel, no matter where its hometown was, no matter whether it was Famous or Ding Ding Ding.
