The sky was bright.
Zhang Zian didn't sleep well in the hotel. After all, it wasn't his own home and bed.
As soon as the alarm rang, Zhang Zian got up, woke up the elfins, and prepared breakfast for them.
The crew was responsible for preparing Famous's food, so it definitely wouldn't be too bad for it. However, he had to prepare the food for the other elfins. Before he left, he bought a few bags of chicken slices that were commonly eaten by bodybuilders. They were the kind that could be eaten immediately after being roasted. Each big bag had a separate small package, so he didn't have to worry about them going bad even if he couldn't finish them all at once.
The chicken slices definitely didn't taste as good as freshly roasted chicken, but it was convenient, and there were no additional spices added. The basic ingredients were pure chicken roasted for bodybuilders. Otherwise, food for the three cats would be really hard to solve.
There was also a bag of mixed nuts for Richard.
Fina complained that it didn't taste good, but it ate more than anyone else.
China was seven hours ahead of Germany, so it should be afternoon.
Zhang Zian sent a message to Pi and Lu Yiyun, asking about the situation in the shop. Both of their replies were that everything was normal.
Zhang Zian didn't tell the elfins about his conversation with Professor Wei Kang the day before, because the inspection time hadn't been completely set. If the academy didn't approve, the situation would change, so he decided to wait until it was set. Even if the academy didn't approve in the end, he would find out about the inspection team's itinerary and follow them at his own expense. At least it would be better than going alone.
As for helping Wei Kang find the original Egyptian cat, with Fina around, as long as the original Egyptian cat did exist in Egypt, it would most likely be found by Fina.
While the elfins were eating, he opened the itinerary sent by the crew and carefully browsed through it.
Today was the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival, and they had to walk the red carpet.
Tomorrow was more interesting, as it was the premiere of the Dog Warrior movie.
Although the Berlin Film Festival wasn't the most famous of the three major European film festivals, every film festival had its own pride. For example, the Berlin Film Festival had a rule that the films in the main competition unit had to be films that hadn't participated in other film festivals. Most of the films were still world premieres or premieres overseas.
It could be said that the Dog Warrior crew worked overtime to do post-production special effects and editing just to bet on the Berlin Film Festival.
Other than the main competition segment of the Berlin Film Festival, there were also a few other competition and non-competition segments. There was also a "New Generation Segment," which included two competition segments, Kplus and 14plus.
The New Generation section had a history of more than 40 years. It screened movies for young children, which was very unique compared to other film festivals. It fully proved how much the Berlin Film Festival's organizing committee valued young children.
Kplus was aimed at children over 4 years old, while 14plus was aimed at teenagers over 14 years old.
Just like the grading system for movies, this was the grading system for film festivals. After all, not all the movies that participated in the film festival were suitable for children. Some experimental movies could even make adults feel depressed or creeped out after watching them.
Many of the children in Berlin grew up with the New Generation Unit year after year. When they grew up, they became members of the Berlin Film Festival's organizing committee, working and serving the New Generation Unit. They screened the first film of their lives for the children above the age of four. The cycle continued, and the torch was passed on.
Although Dog Warrior had been selected to be in the main competition segment, it was said that the New Generation Unit's organizing committee had fought hard for it because they felt that the movie was suitable for teenagers over 14 years old. It was a pity that the same movie could not be selected for two competition segments.
However, the New Generation Unit's organizing committee had specially arranged an additional screening for Dog Warrior at the Cubix7 Theater on Alexanderplatz. It was open to teenagers over 14 years old. It was also tomorrow, but it would not participate in the competition.
In other words, Zhang Zian would first take Famous to the Berlin Film Palace's premiere, and then go to the Cubix7 Theater's additional screening without stopping.
From the third day onwards, Zhang Zian would take Famous to participate in some local promotional activities in Berlin when the crew needed it. He would coordinate with the domestic premiere to build momentum, as well as promote the sale of overseas screening rights. When there was nothing to do, Famous could move around freely, as long as he reported to the crew before he went out.
From that day onwards, the crew's staff began to return home one after another. The main cast and crew, including Zhang Zian, would continue to stay behind.
The tenth day was the last day of their stay in Germany. The awards for the main competition segment would also be announced on the tenth day. Everyone in the crew was hoping that their movie would win an award. Even if it did not win the Best Film award, it would at least win another award. Otherwise, it would be too much of a loss. Participating in the Berlin Film Festival meant that they would not be able to participate in other film festivals.
As for who the award belonged to, everyone hoped that their movie would win an award. However, who would get what they wanted still depended on the opinion of the jury. The jury of the Berlin Film Festival was voted on by the Central Berlin Film Committee's advisory group. It was composed of well-known directors, producers, screenwriters, and actors in the industry. Occasionally, composers, authors, and people from the TV series industry would join in.
To be fair, the tastes of these professionals were not exactly the same as the public's. Some movies that were highly rated and well received by the public were not well-received by them, so it was difficult to predict which movie would win an award. It was influenced by their personal aesthetic preferences.
The reason why Feng Xuan insisted on participating in the Berlin Film Festival was that Germans loved raising pets. There were many cats and dogs, and the most famous pet in Germany was the German Shepherd. According to unreliable sources, more than one member of the jury had a German Shepherd at home. This was a hidden advantage of the Dog Warrior movie.
When Zhang Zian heard about this inside information, he could not help but say to himself, "Old people are cunning, old horses are slippery, and old rabbits are hard to catch …"
By the time he finished studying the schedule, the elfins had also finished their breakfast.
"The opening ceremony will start tonight. Let's go out for a walk first, so that we won't come to Germany for nothing," he suggested.
"Quack! Are we going to Germany's red-light district? How about I drive you to show off and take you flying? "Richard shouted as it flapped its wings.
He glared at it, even though he was really curious in his heart …
"Are we going to the town that contains 72,000 tons of diamonds?" Fina could not forget about it.
"Ahem! Well, we're only going to walk around Berlin today. We can't go too far. We'll go to the town in a few days, "he said reluctantly.
"Meow meow meow! You're being glib again! "However, Snowy Lionet saw through the truth with a glance.
He argued, "I'm not being glib! That … Only you guys are full. Famous and I haven't had breakfast yet. Let's go out for a walk and have breakfast on the way. "
