Chapter 726: The Journey North

Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Three days after the kick off the Berlin Film Festival, most of the crew members were free to tour around. The producers, on the other hand, had started their busy work of promoting Dog Warrior in order to sell as many copies of the overseas screening rights as possible. Each transaction was a matter of gold and silver and determined whether they would make money or lose money from this film.

The premiere at Berlinale Palast had received great reviews. Distributors and agencies interested in the film were coming over to contact the producer and negotiate how they could cooperate with each other. Yet, the business deals didn't concern Zhang Zian. He knew almost nothing about them because of his position in the production team.

Many parties were still waiting to see if Dog Warrior could get an award in the Berlin Film Festival. If it did, then its promotion and box office sales would both increase greatly.

It was said that when the members of the committee had selected a film for Competition, they actually already had a score for this film and would not change it unless something significant happened. This meant that whether Dog Warrior could win an award or not had already been determined, but it would only be announced on the last day of the film festival.

Zhang Zian and Famous had previously been assigned to some promotional activities, as well as the task of standing in the kiosk at the European Film Market. However, due to the conflict yesterday with the team lead Nie Yuan, they were both put aside for now. Nie Yuan had canceled all of their promotional activities.

This worked out in Zhang Zian's favor, however, as he now finally had a few free days to walk around Germany with the elfins without being worried about being called back by the production team.

The so-called ”being put aside” meant not attending the official promotional activities of the production team. In fact, there were quite a few members of the media that were trying to reach Zhang Zian through various means and asking him for interviews with Famous…

The day before, Famous didn't show up on the red carpet at the Berlinale Palast. The happiest person was Lin Feng, as there was finally no person, or dog, that could steal his thunder. He had a blast on the red carpet.

Once he woke up that morning, Zhang Zian contacted Pi, like he had the past two days, and asked how it was doing at the shop. Pi's answer was the same old, ”Everything is fine. Don't worry. Have fun in Germany.”

Lu Yiyun was under a lot of pressure. There were more members of the media coming to the shop these days than customers. As Wang Qian and Li Kun––the two dumb***es––could not control their mouths and could not be counted on, she had to send all the media back by herself.

After confirming that nothing was wrong in the shop, Zhang Zian felt relieved.

After asking around, he found out that the address that Reina had written down on the name card was a small city by the ocean in northern Germany, not too far from Berlin. He could either take a train or rent a car to get there.

Train travel in Germany was well-known, as the scenery along the road was as beautiful as a picture. It was the best option to tour around Germany if one had plenty of time. Once he considered the inconvenience of taking the elfins on the train, however, he finally decided to rent a car for the freedom of it.

He took Famous and the invisible elfins out of the hotel. The rental car had already stopped outside. The elfins sat in the same spot as the last trip. Fina and Snowy Lionet occupied the front passenger seat, while Old Time Tea and Galaxy occupied the back seat. Famous took the trunk alone, while Richard flew around everywhere.

Before departure, there was one more thing to do.

Zhang Zian drove around Berlin, then stopped in front of a souvenir shop that was officially designated by Berlin Film Festival. He was planning on sending some limited edition postcards to his friends in China. They were only sold during the film festival and had the stamp of Berlin on them, both vintage and memorable. If he didn't act fast, some of the popular post cards might sell out.

The festivity of the film festival was still growing, as there were people lining up for tickets outside every cinema.

It was getting warmer in Binhai City, but in the streets in Germany, many local residents and tourists were still wearing winter jackets.
