Grandma Gu's news boosted Zhang Zian's confidence. The country's economy was transforming, and so was society. It was closely related to everyone, so he couldn't belittle himself.
However, a journey of a thousand miles had to start with a single step.
His aquarium was still an empty shell, and he had to find a way to fill it up first.
Karl had sent a lot of high-end aquarium equipment made in Germany at a discounted price, and Zhang Zian had also bought some domestic equipment at a reasonable price. The aquarium tanks and water chillers could be customized or purchased as long as he had money. The pressing problem at the moment was — where could he get sand, biological stones, aquatic plants, corals, and other aquatic creatures? It was unrealistic and unnecessary to get them all from Germany. Just the shipping cost alone was enough, so he decided to go to the aquarium market in Binhai City. Maybe he could find something good.
The full name of the aquarium market was the flower, bird, fish, and insect market. It overlapped with the dog market to a certain extent, but they were not the same. For example, there were no cats or dogs in the aquarium market, and ornamental fish accounted for at least half of the flower, bird, fish, and insect market. Over time, it was shortened to the aquarium market.
The last time he went to the dog market, he took Famous with him, but this time, Famous was a bit busy. From time to time, people came to take photos with it. This kind of situation would probably happen more often after the movie was released.
The aquarium market was not too far away. It was also in the Dongcheng District, near the seaside port. Ornamental fish from other places were transported from thousands of miles away, broken up into parts at the aquarium market, and distributed to secondary and tertiary dealers and ordinary customers.
Lu Yi Yun had already placed an order for stickers. He sent Wang Qian and Li Kun to get lunch for the elfins, then told her that he might be back late today. She told them to get off work when it was time, and they didn't have to wait for him.
As he was talking, the door opened again.
“Hello！ Mr. Store Manager, I'm here! "
An energetic figure jumped in from outside. It was Snowy, who had helped a lot during the Spring Festival. If she hadn't sent fresh Crucian carps in time, a few Abyssinian kittens might have starved.
She changed into a thin down jacket and did not wear a woolen hat. She also changed her gloves from thick cotton gloves to fingerless woolen gloves, which were very suitable for the change of season. Her hair, which had been kept for the winter, was also slightly shorter, which made her look more energetic.
"Welcome." Zhang Zian nodded.
"Hello, Xiao Xue." Lu Yi Yun also greeted her with a smile. "Are you here to play or to do a live broadcast today?"
"Of course I'm here to do a live broadcast! As streamers, we have to ride on the hot topics! This is a great opportunity to gain more fans! "As soon as Snowy entered the door, her eyes darted around." Um … Where is Famous? "
"Over there, it's surrounded by people." Zhang Zian pointed at the store.
"So many people?" She was a little surprised. "Am I late?"
Many people came to the store not to buy pets and pet supplies, but simply to take photos with Famous. It was like taking photos with a celebrity. After the previous wave left, a new wave came.
Most people turned around and left after taking photos, but a small number of people were attracted by the other pets in the shop and stayed.
Zhang Zian was seriously considering whether he should charge for the group photo. 10 yuan per person for 5 seconds.
"It's not too late," he said.
Snowy suddenly frowned and sighed. "Hey! I've been to the shop so many times, and I always thought that Famous was just an ordinary dog. I missed a future big star. My Weibo is full of fans complaining that I'm picking up sesame seeds but losing watermelon, and that I shouldn't have wasted time on Mr. Store Manager … "
Zhang Zian decided to go to Snowy's Weibo tonight and write down all the IDs that complained that he was not worth wasting time on, and then he would take turns to send them private messages to fight back.
"Mr. Store Manager, you're too low-key! Why didn't you tell us that you were going to take Famous to shoot a movie? I was caught off guard … "she complained.
She had been to the pet shop several times and had cooperated with him on outdoor live broadcasts, such as the trip to Mt. Hidden Fog and the trip to the dog market. The fans in the live broadcast room basically knew Zhang Zian and were very familiar with his shop.
However, no matter which time she came, she didn't notice the German Shepherd silently lying next to the recliner. Even when they went to the dog market last time, she didn't pay enough attention to Famous.
The netizens in the live broadcast room were the same. The dancing kitten in the shop was so cute, and it was so fun to argue with the store manager. Who would pay attention to the seemingly ordinary German Shepherd?
All of this came to an end the moment Famous stepped on the red carpet at the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival.
At first, when she and the netizens in the live broadcast room received the news, they were just surprised and curious. It turned out that Zhang Zian had secretly shot a movie with a dog without them knowing, and it was even lucky enough to be nominated for the Berlin Film Festival. He probably had the backing of some director.
Since Dog Warrior had only been released at the Berlin Film Festival and hadn't been released in China, she and the netizens could only find bits and pieces of footage and posters. They didn't know what kind of role Famous played in the movie and how much of it it was, so it wasn't surprising that there were such misunderstandings.
From then on, she and the netizens began to pay attention to Famous and Zhang Zian's movements at the Berlin Film Festival every day. Their original intention was to find something to complain about Zhang Zian, then wait for him to come back to China and fiercely argue with him. It would be best if they could see him embarrass himself in the live broadcast. That would definitely be very delightful.
Unexpectedly, on the last day of the film festival, under the watchful eyes of the public, big news broke out. As a dog, Famous won the Best Male Lead Award, and Zhang Zian brought it up to the stage to receive the award and speak on its behalf.
Everyone had different impressions and evaluations of Zhang Zian, but basically, they all thought that his speech was wonderful.
It was very late that night, and she just let her parents watch the live broadcast before going to bed. She didn't think too much about it, but when she logged on to her Weibo the next morning, she found that the netizens were so angry that they had smeared their feces all over the wall!
Everyone said that Zhang Zian had a great time pretending to be pretentious and that they couldn't tolerate it!
There were also many netizens who raised doubts. Why hadn't they noticed that there was such a dog in the shop? Was the pretentious shop manager deliberately pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? Was he trying to slap us in the face?
After this was brought up, Snowy also felt extremely regretful. She quickly browsed through the videos that she had recorded during her previous live broadcasts. In the video files that took up an entire hard drive, she realized that she had been to the pet shop a few times, but she had never given Famous a single shot!
It had always been a foil, a supporting role, and a supporting role for Zhang Zian and the other pets … It was simply the real-life version of "Today you are indifferent to me, but tomorrow I will make you unworthy!"
So, under the urging of the netizens, she decided to come to the pet shop again today to make up for her regret.
