Chapter 722: Schedule Changed
Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Early the next morning, Zhang Zian and the elfins woke up to the sound of message alerts one after another. Luckily, they had taken a nap yesterday to overcome the jet lag and had gone to bed early the night before, so they were not overly sleepy.
After unlocking his phone screen, Zhang Zian saw that all of the messages were from acquaintances of the Amazing Fate Pet Shop. Most of them were customers, while some were business acquaintances, either telling him that they saw him in the news, or expressing congratulations. Some were simply curious and asked how much money he received from the film, while others asked him for red packets up front. Someone even told him that she was interested in the entertainment industry and asked if he knew any directors, as she didn't mind sleeping with them…
In addition to the other messages he received, Lu Yiyun told him that someone from the Binhai television channel had shown up at their door and was waiting in the shop to make an interview appointment. She asked him how she should respond––did he want her to decline or accept?
Zhang Zian replied to her text, asking her to tell the television reporter that he was busy in Berlin and would discuss it after his return.
He ignored most of the other messages, said thanks to those who congratulated him, and blocked those who asked for red packets…
Since he was already awake, he didn't want to stay in bed any longer. Their ten days in Germany were going to pass by in the blink of an eye, so he wanted to seize the moment and walk around in order to make the trip worthwhile.
He picked up a name card next to his pillow. It was Reina's name card, with a line of address written in German in the blank space on the flip side. It was the address of her father, but he didn't know the city. He only knew of a few big cities in Germany, such as Berlin, Hamburg, and Bremen.
Richard could read German, but didn't know the city, either. It was not a living map, after all.
Today was the premiere of Dog Warrior at the Berlinale Palast of Potsdamer Platz. There was an additional screening for teenagers over the age of 14 at the Cubix 7 cinema on the Alexanderplatz. The screening was close to the same time at both locations. According to the schedule made by the production crew, they were going to walk the red carpet another time at the Berlinale Palast. After Zhang Zian and the crew watched the film with the audience at the first premiere, they would run to Cubix7 cinema right away so that they could try to catch the curtain call.
The schedule was tight. He had no time to visit Reina's father today, so he would have to wait a few more days.
He woke Famous up, gave it a bath, and changed its bow tie.
The red carpet photos yesterday were already spreading all over the internet. Under the gaze of countless cameramen, each flaw in one's appearance was magnified enormously. A single flaw could make one look bad––especially Famous, who was at the height of his exposure.
After Famous finished its bath, Nie Yuan, the crew's team lead, mentioned everyone in the WeChat group and asked them to be present at the premiere. He asked them to gather downstairs so they could take a ride to the Berlinale Palast and have breakfast on the road.
Zhang Zian put the other elfins back into his phone, changed his suit, then took the elevator to the lobby downstairs with Famous.
Everybody else was already there except for him. After counting the people present, Nie Yuan announced, ”We have a last minute change to our schedule today. After the premiere, we are not going to Cubix7 cinema. We'll head to the European Film Market instead to cheer for the crew members there. Hopefully we'll get a good price for our overseas distribution rights while we're there.”
Nobody else objected to this decision, yet Zhang Zian and Famous were shocked. How could the schedule be changed at the last minute?
