Chapter 726: 1 Way to the North
From the third day after the opening of the Berlin Film Festival, most of the cast and crew in the crew can move around freely, but the producer has started busy sales work, in order to maximize the screening rights of "Dogs of War" in various overseas regions. Sell a few copies, and each copy is real money, which is related to whether the movie will make a profit or lose money.
The premiere at the Berlinale Film Palace yesterday received a good response. Brokers and distributors who were interested in the film flocked to contact the producer to discuss related cooperation matters. However, these matters had nothing to do with Zhang Zian. The position in the crew, at most, I know the superficial.
Many parties are still waiting to see if "War Dogs" can win an award at the Berlin Film Festival. If it can win an award, it will greatly improve publicity and box office.
It is said that when the judges of the jury selected the film into the main competition unit, they had already scored the film in their hearts, and it would not change unless there were special circumstances. In other words, whether "War Dogs" can win the award has now been decided, and it will only be officially announced on the last day of the film festival.
Zhang Zian and Fei Masi were originally arranged for some promotional activities and the task of standing in the film trading market. However, due to the discord with the team leader Nie Yuan yesterday, the two of them are currently being sidelined by Nie Yuan and cancelled. all promotional activities.
But this is also good, that is, Zhang Zian finally has a few days of free time, and can take the elves to relax around Germany comfortably, without worrying about being called back urgently by the crew.
Moreover, the so-called being in the cold palace just means that there is no official promotional activity by the crew, and there are quite a few media who have contacted Zhang Zian privately through various channels and asked to interview Fei Masi...
Yesterday Femus did not appear on the red carpet of the Berlin Film Palace. The happiest thing was Lin Feng. Finally, no one and no dog competed with him for the limelight, and he lived a good red carpet addiction.
After waking up in the morning, Zhang Zian first contacted π as he did the previous two days, asking how he was doing in the store. π's answer is still everything is normal, let him not worry, and have fun in Germany.
Lu Yiyun was under a lot of pressure. In the past two days, there were more media outlets than customers in the store, and she couldn't count on Wang Qian and Li Kun's two blunt bastards. She had to bite the bullet and block the media temporarily. go back.
After confirming that there was no problem in the store, Zhang Zian was relieved.
After inquiring, he learned that the address provided by Reina on the business card was a small German town on the northern coast, not too far from Berlin, and he could take a train or rent a car and drive there.
German train travel is quite famous, and the scenery along the road is picturesque. If you are not in a hurry, it is a good choice to visit Germany. However, considering the inconvenience of the elves taking the train, he finally decided to rent a car so that he can come and go more freely.
He left the hotel with Femas and the invisible elves. The rented station wagon had already parked at the entrance of the hotel. The elves sat in the same way as when the fireworks were set off last time. Fina and Snow Lion occupied the co-pilot seats. Tea and Xinghai occupied the back seat, Phymas occupied the trunk alone, and Richard flopped around.
Before we go, there is one more thing to do.
Zhang Zian drove around Berlin, and then parked the car in front of a souvenir shop officially designated by the Berlin Film Festival. He plans to send some limited edition postcards of the film festival to friends in China, which will only be sold during the film festival, with the postmark of Berlin, which is both retro and commemorative. If you are slow to sell, it is likely that some best-selling postcards will be sold out.
The atmosphere of the film festival is still heating up, and there is a queue to buy tickets at the door of almost every cinema.
The temperature in Binhai City is gradually warming up, but there are still a large number of locals and tourists wearing down jackets on the streets of Germany.
Zhang Zian asked the other elves to stay in the car for the time being, and led Feimas into the souvenir shop by himself.
As soon as you enter the door, there is a large Berlin Bear doll standing in front of you. It has a brown furry body and a triangular red square scarf around its neck. It stares at the customers entering the door with two small black round eyes.
The eyes are full of innocence, as if to say: Why did you come here? Take me away now!
The large size doll is cute, but it is too big, so it is not convenient to post and carry. We can only choose the small size doll. Fortunately, the demeanor and movements are the same as the large size doll, which should be able to win the favor of young girls.
The souvenir shop is full of beautiful things, and there are all kinds of official souvenirs in the glass display cabinets, such as T-shirts, sweaters, scarves, hats and other clothes, as well as shopping bags and backpacks printed with the Berlin Bear pattern, and Wine glasses, mugs, signature pens, key chains, notepads, etc., are all in red as the main color, just as people’s impression of China is also bright red. Coupled with the festive atmosphere just after the Spring Festival, this film festival is simply amazing. It's like tailor-made for China.
There are many customers coming and going in the souvenir shop, speaking various languages, and occasionally Chinese can be heard.
The workmanship of these small souvenirs is very exquisite, and they are also very practical. After buying them, they are very suitable for placing in the room or for use.
Zhang Zian originally planned to buy souvenirs before returning to China, but under the influence of the lively atmosphere in the store, he unconsciously carried a large bag in each hand. He planned to use it as a gift for customers to buy pets after returning home. It should be very popular.
Especially this time when I went to visit Reina's father and asked him about marine pets. He didn't know what the etiquette in Germany was like, but it was really embarrassing to come to the door empty-handed, so I bought some souvenirs for him. I don't know. He likes it or not.
There are many kinds of official postcards of the film festival. Most of them have a bear on the cover, some are brown, some are red, and some are reflected in blue by the light. They are all taken from the posters of this film festival, especially a white bear soaking in the open-air hot spring Zhang Zian's postcards seemed to be very popular. When Zhang Zian noticed that there were not many left, he quickly grabbed the remaining few in his hand, picked out a few more in other styles, and went to the cashier to check out.
The cashier provided a pen, and Zhang Zian wrote different blessings on the back of the postcard, and then filled in the address under the guidance of the teller.
As he was writing, he saw Phimas lingering in front of one of the display cabinets out of the corner of his eye, so he walked over and asked, "Femax, do you have anything you like?"
What Fei Max looked at was a collar, which was also an official souvenir of the Berlin Film Festival. Several red Berlin bears were printed on the black leather collar at equal intervals. The combination of black and red looked very handsome.
"Like this?" he asked.
Femas nodded intently, "It's very commemorative. I want to collect souvenirs from film festivals, so I might as well start with the Berlin Film Festival."
Zhang Zian understood what it meant, and it has great confidence in itself, and will definitely play more roles in the future, and appear on the stage of different film festivals.
As big a heart is, so big is the stage.
"Okay, let's start from Berlin." He smiled, and also had confidence in Phimas.
He added the collar to the shopping list and checked out together.
Back in the rental car and throwing all his shopping in the trunk, he turned the wheel and headed north from Berlin.
