A busy day had passed.
Yesterday, Zhang Zian and Famous had accompanied the crew to deal with interviews from various media outlets. Fortunately, after the big scene of the Berlin Film Festival, they felt like they had been through the ocean, and they cooperated well with the crew to complete the publicity task.
Today, the crew did not relax at all. Some people even stayed up all night, constantly refreshing the box office data from midnight onwards, because from then on, Dog Warrior would officially be released in the country. The release period of a movie was generally about 20 days. If the box office data was not ideal, it would be reduced, and vice versa, it would be extended. Every additional day of extension meant a large amount of extra income, which also meant an increase in influence.
Zhang Zian also hoped that Dog Warrior's release period would be as long as possible, but he and Famous were very confident that they would not stay up all night for it.
The sky outside the window was still dark, but he got up early and woke up the elfins.
"Get up! Get up! Otherwise, we won't be able to catch up! "he urged as he clapped his hands.
"Shut up for this empress! I haven't slept enough! "Fina scolded him, then hid her head under the blanket.
Zhang Zian risked his life and tore off the blanket, then quickly ran far away and turned on the lights.
Snowy Lionet, who was sleeping on the blanket, rolled on the carpet like a ball.
Since he had informed them the night before, the other elfins had gotten up one after another, even though they had not slept enough. Only Fina was still complaining about waking up.
Zhang Zian himself did not want to wake up so early, but he had no choice. If he did not wake up early, he would not be able to catch up to the flag-raising ceremony in the square. Since he was already in the capital, how could he miss the flag-raising ceremony?
From today onwards, the crew had a certain degree of free time. The less important members had already left the capital overnight to join the new crew. Zhang Zian informed the crew that he was going to take Famous and the elfins to visit the famous attractions in the capital. The first stop was the flag-raising ceremony in the square.
They had to wake up early to watch the flag-raising ceremony, and they had to leave before dawn because the flag was raised with the sun.
"It's just a flag-raising ceremony. What's there to see?" Fina was full of resentment and complained fiercely. "If you want to see it, you can set up a flagpole at the entrance of the Sacred Palace and raise it every day! You can hang yourself on it if you want! "
"This is different." For the sake of safety, Zhang Zian wrapped the small quilt in his hands tightly in case Fina got angry and hurt someone. "You know, many people come from other places or even foreign countries just to experience the flag-raising ceremony in the most famous city square in the world. Standing in the morning sun, bathing in the spring breeze, looking up at the flag rising … The solemn and solemn feeling of the scene is something you can't experience normally."
He tried his best to convince Fina, emphasizing that this kind of experience might only happen a few times in her life, and that she could only get up early today, and she wouldn't have to get up early from tomorrow onwards.
The other elfins were not so lazy. Everyone was a little curious. How could a seemingly ordinary flag-raising ceremony attract so many people from thousands of miles away to watch?
The only one who couldn't go was Sihwa. She wanted to see it, but unfortunately, she couldn't. She threw a tantrum in the bathtub, and it wasn't until Zhang Zian promised to record a live video for her that she finally calmed down a little. Then, she had an idea and urged Zhang Zian to quickly buy an RV with a massage bathtub. That way, she could go on a trip whenever she wanted. Four wheels was more convenient than two legs.
After hastily packing up, Zhang Zian put Sihwa back into his phone and set off with the other elfins. When they took the elevator downstairs, both humans and elfins were yawning. After all, they had gotten up too early.
One of the advantages of getting up early was that there were fewer people. The lobby on the first floor of the hotel was deserted, with only a few security guards and staff on duty. Now that they all knew where this dog came from, if it weren't for the strict hotel rules, they really wanted to take a photo with it.
The sky was still full of stars above their heads, and the cold morning breeze was refreshing.
Zhang Zian came to the parking lot and found a large SUV he had rented. He let the elfins sit in it, and he sat in the driver's seat.
"Zian." Old Time Tea stretched out its paw from behind and gently patted his shoulder, indicating for him to look to the side.
He quietly turned his head slightly and saw a yellow and white stray cat squatting on the wall of the yard. It was staring at him and the car with its bright eyes.
"Is it this cat?" His lips moved slightly as he asked in a low voice.
"If I remember correctly, this is the one I saw the day before yesterday," Old Time Tea answered with certainty.
"I want to see which cat dares to sneak around in front of me!" Fina, who had originally planned to take a nap on the road, heard it and sat up to look around.
"Forget it. It's just an ordinary stray cat. If it has the ability, then continue to monitor it. I don't believe it can catch up to the car."
Zhang Zian was afraid that it would cause trouble. After all, if an invisible elfin wanted to attack, it would come out of its invisible state. There were surveillance cameras all around the five-star hotel. If a cat appeared out of thin air, it would probably cause an uproar.
"Let's hurry up and go watch the flag-raising ceremony." He fastened his seat belt and started the car. He stared at the cat in the rearview mirror until it disappeared from his sight. It sat on the wall without moving.
He didn't know why, but he was really relieved. What if the cat really chased after them?
Another advantage of waking up early was that there was no traffic on the road.
Zhang Zian had only been to the capital once or twice a long time ago, so he wasn't familiar with the terrain here. The hotel he stayed in was quite far from the city, so he could only rely on the GPS to drive in the direction of the city center.
The elfins pressed their faces against the car window and curiously looked at the ancient capital that had existed for thousands of years. The old alleys and modern office buildings were next to each other, forming a strong visual contrast.
"Quack! So many people! "Richard shouted.
Although the sky was not yet bright, there were already many pedestrians on the road. The early risers and the late risers were in a hurry, symbolizing the fast-paced life of this international metropolis.
"Zian." Old Time Tea patted Zhang Zian's shoulder again. "Look over there."
Zhang Zian quickly glanced in the direction that Old Time Tea was pointing. Suddenly, his whole body shivered. The car also shook left and right, and he almost lost control. Luckily, he wasn't driving too fast.
They were driving through an alley in the Chaoyang District. There was a cat squatting on one of the greenish-gray courtyard walls. It seemed to be a stray cat.
Although this stray cat was definitely not the same cat as the one in the hotel parking lot, their eyes were very similar. Their eyes were staring at the car, and their line of sight moved as if they were monitoring them.
Coincidentally, there was also an old lady wearing a red armband standing under the courtyard wall. She was also staring at the slowly driving SUV with a similar look.
