Chapter 697: For the Forgotten Memories

Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lu Yiyun was operating the automated dog washing machine as the elfins and the others were watching from the side. The space for the pet bath area had always been cramped, so much so that the waters could not even be drained properly. Suddenly, a message alert rang from Zhang Zian's phone, and he then squeezed his way out of the pet bath area.

Zian unlocked his phone to take a look. The message came from the Dog Warrior group chat that had been silent for a very long time—someone had @him.

Currently, all the crew members were in various places; some were celebrating the New Year at home, while some others had joined a film crew for a new movie. Other than during New Year's Eve when the group was lively for a few hours due to the giving out of red packets, it had been some time since anyone had said anything.

Executive Producer Nie Yuan had sent the following message: ”Members of the following staffs, please prepare your passports and Germany visas immediately in order to participate in the premiere of Dog Warriors at the Berlin Film Festival and to attend the award ceremony segment. Based on the situation, I will be leading the group with Director Feng assisting me as the co-leader. Everyone that is mentioned—people and dogs—is required to attend. If there are reasons for any absence, kindly message me privately with your reason and explanations.

@Director

@Assistant Producer

@Assistant Director

@Male Lead

@Supporting Male Actor Number 1

@Supporting Male Actor Number 2

@Dog Lead (Requires the company of its trainer)”

The WeChat group became lively again, as everyone was looking forward to the Berlin Film Festival.

Previously, when signing the performing arts contract, there was a clause where Party B (Actor) had to proactively cooperate with Party A (Film crew) for any promoting or advertisement, including, but also not limited to, the premiere, meet-and-greet, and press conference, so on so forth. As for any costs incurred, Party A will be responsible for all necessary expenditures. Signing the contract meant that you agreed with these clauses. Zhang Zian, who personally felt that he was not law-ignorant, would definitely abide by the contract.

The way Nie Yuan phrased his words, however, it felt like Zian himself was Famous's entourage...

Zian was in possession of a passport—he had it done before he went to America—but for the visa, he would have to make a trip to the consulate. Aside from that, he also had to process the boarding procedures for Famous. Unlike Richard, it was obvious that Famous was unable to use the same excuse of ”research purposes” to be in the passenger compartment. Keeping Famous in the phone and only letting it out when Zian stepped foot in Germany was not an option, either, as it might arouse some suspicions. Since Famous was one of the leading actors, there would be a lot of eyes on him, and he would especially attract the attention of the reporters.

Zian couldn't say for sure if there would be any Western reporters looking for a big scoop that would try to dig out which flight Famous was on. If the reporter was unable to find any boarding details, though...

”Famous,” Zian gestured to Famous, calling Famous up to the second floor before explaining the situation to it. The main part of the explanation was to let Famous know that it was unable to enter the passenger compartment and would have to be placed in the pet cargo hold.

Before the start of the Spring Festival, a few local airline companies introduced a pet transportation cabin service which allowed some pets to tag along with their owners in the cabin until they reach their destination, but not all pets were included. The pet—including its cage––must not exceed five kilograms of weight, which would mean that most adult dogs, and some adult cats, were excluded from this service—such as, for example, an orange-colored cat named Fina...

This service was directed at domestic cats and dogs; other kinds of animals were not included in the service.

Famous's weight was way over five kilograms. It was definite that Famous would not be allowed into the cabin, so he would have to be placed in the pet cargo hold.

Zhang Zian explained all of these reasons to Famous just in case it had any thoughts or opinions against this. Zhang Zian thought it might feel insulted since it was not an ordinary dog, but was actually an elfin.
