Of all the film festivals, the Berlin Film Festival paid the most attention to the experience of young children. Every Kplus and 14Plus section had a simultaneous interpreter, which had been imitated by some other film festivals.
However, the weather was unpredictable. Perhaps it was the bad weather, or perhaps it was the carnival that lasted all night, causing the interpreter responsible for the simultaneous interpretation of Dog Warrior to suddenly become ill. They couldn't find a suitable replacement, so the additional screening was likely to be canceled. That was why the crew decided to change their schedule at the last minute.
Feng Xuan told Zhang Zian the whole story and said, "Xiao Zhang, there's nothing we can do about it. Today's Dog Warrior premiere's red carpet walk is more important. After yesterday's opening ceremony, there will definitely be a lot of domestic and foreign media present today. We need to further expand the influence of the movie. That way, whether it's for the domestic cinema chain's screening rate or the sale of overseas distribution rights, it will be beneficial."
Zhang Zian knew that Feng Xuan was right. Movies for young children were far less influential than movies for adults. Many people in China had only heard of the Golden Bear Award and the Silver Bear Award. They didn't know that the Berlin Film Festival also had Kplus and 14Plus sections that catered to young children.
That being said …
He looked down at Famous. It was deep in thought.
No one wanted its real name to be known more than Famous. It had worked hard, so it had the right to all this.
However, compared to all this, it was more eager to be an angel for young children, just like Audrey Hepburn, who still cared about starving African children on her deathbed.
After thinking about it, he already had an answer in his heart.
So, he smiled and said to Feng Xuan, "Director Feng, I think we should split up. You lead the team to the Berlin Film Palace, and I'll take Famous to the Cubix7 Cinema. That way, we won't delay each other."
Feng Xuan panicked. "How can we do that? All the media outlets are here for Famous. If it doesn't show up, wouldn't it be standing them up? You know how some domestic media outlets are. They'll definitely think that you're putting on airs … "
Since Zhang Zian had made a decision, he didn't intend to change it. He smiled and said, "Director Feng, you're wrong. We're not putting on airs …" He looked at Famous again and met its gaze. "We're the big shots!"
It was just like what Lin Feng's assistant had said when he was encouraging Lin Feng. He had to think of himself as the best local star. Since he was a local star, how could he not care about the feelings of the local children?
What's more, Germany might really be Famous's homeland.
"This …" Feng Xuan was flabbergasted.
"Nonsense! What nonsense! Even a lot of virtuous old artists wouldn't dare to do this! " Nie Yuan faintly heard their conversation, and his face instantly sank. "You're not even famous yet and you're already taking yourself to be a big shot. If you're slightly famous, then wouldn't you be cocky? I think you'll be stuck at this level for the rest of your lives. It'll be hard for you to advance any further … "
Before he finished speaking, Famous seemed to be deliberately angering him. It raised its tail high like a saber and pointed it to the sky.
The girls accompanying the crew couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Nie Yuan was speechless. If he had known this earlier, he would have stopped Feng Xuan from choosing this dog as the protagonist no matter what!
Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do now.
Knowing this, Zhang Zian laughed. "Leader Nie, Famous and I have to take a leave of absence. We can't go to the Film Palace and the European Film Exchange Market with you."
After saying that, without waiting for Nie Yuan's approval, he took out his sunglasses and put them on Famous in a dignified manner.
"It's almost time, right? You guys go first. Don't let the media at the Film Palace wait for too long. I have to go back to my room to prepare some things. " He led Famous to the elevator and returned to his room, leaving Nie Yuan, who was fuming with anger, behind.
His purpose in returning to his room was, of course, to release Richard from his phone.
"Quack? I just said that I could catch up on sleep. Maybe I could dream of my king's voice and smile. What do you want, you idiot? "Richard said sleepily.
"Don't sleep first. I need your help with something." Zhang Zian didn't give it a chance to explain. He made it invisible and threw it into his hood.
When he and Famous came downstairs again, Nie Yuan and Feng Xuan had already left. They were probably rushing to the Berlin Film Palace for the premiere.
"Famous, you won't blame me for making the decision on my own, right?" he asked after walking out of the door.
"No such thing. This is also what I hope." Famous shook its head. "Also, help me change the bow tie back to the collar. Although the bow tie is very cool, I want to wear the collar in front of the children today."
Zhang Zian squatted down and changed the collar back to its usual one. He then raised his hand to stop a taxi.
"Cubix7," he said to the driver.
If it was a domestic taxi driver, they might raise objections and be dissatisfied with him taking a dog in the car, for fear that the dog would poop in the car. However, this driver seemed to be used to it. He casually glanced at Famous and started the taxi meter.
After the car started, the driver suddenly frowned. He stared at Famous in the rearview mirror and observed it carefully. "Hey! I know you! You're the dog from the opening ceremony last night, right? "
He wasn't talking to Zhang Zian, but very naturally talking to Famous. This kind of habit was usually formed when one had a dog at home or had raised a dog before.
Famous barked in response.
"Haha! I told you I didn't recognize the wrong person! "the driver said excitedly." Are you going to the premiere? Wait, are you going to the wrong place? Your movie should be premiering at the Berlin Film Palace! "
As he spoke, he wanted to make the decision to turn around.
"We're not going to the wrong place. We're going to the Cubix7 for the 14plus additional screening." Zhang Zian quickly stopped him.
The driver suddenly understood and said regretfully, "Oh, the additional screening for the children … It's a pity that I have to work during the day, so I only have time to watch movies at night. I say, when will your movie DVD be released in Germany? I prefer watching movies at home with my wife, children, and dog than going to the cinema. "
Zhang Zian glanced at the driver's huge beer belly. He thought to himself that the seats in the theater might not be able to fit him. Even if he managed to fit, it wouldn't be comfortable. No wonder he didn't like going to the cinema …
"I'm not sure about that. I hope it'll be as soon as possible."
The driver was very talkative. He enthusiastically introduced Zhang Zian to the famous attractions they passed by, especially the restaurants nearby. Even the most professional tour guide could not compare to which restaurant had the best roast pork knuckle and which restaurant had the best beer.
Alexander Square was not far from Potsdamer Platz. Along the way, Zhang Zian kept looking at the time, hoping to make it to the venue in time.
"We're here," the driver said.
Zhang Zian looked through the window. The staff of the cinema were removing the red carpet.
