Chapter 31: Berlin (1)

After more than ten hours of flying, He Xin felt that his ass was about to sit in two, and finally arrived in Berlin.

Mazhong, who arrived first with Sister Jiao Xiongpin, came to pick them up. Ma Zhong was also one of the producers as a representative of the management side, and everyone was an old acquaintance.

Along the way, Ma Zhong briefly introduced the process of the film festival, the opening of the film festival on February 7, followed by ten days of screening time, and the closing ceremony on the afternoon of February 18, that is, the award ceremony. Usually the organizer will greet some crews in advance and keep them, indicating that you are very hopeful of winning the award;

He Xin and Li Bing, two new ones who went abroad for the first time, sat in the car and kept looking around, amazed by the century-old buildings that could be seen everywhere. Li Bing also asked curiously, wasn't Berlin almost blown to the ground by the Allies during World War II?

Ma Zhong explained with a smile that during World War II, bombing was generally a military target, and even if it was indiscriminate bombing, it was impossible to bomb it to the ground, after all, the city was so big. For example, London was also indiscriminately bombed by the Germans, and now Big Ben, Tower Bridge, and Buckingham Palace and other landmarks are not all in good condition.

Back at the hotel, everyone had a hasty dinner, and hurriedly went back to their rooms to reverse the jet lag. They departed at 11 p.m. on the 5th and arrived in Berlin at just 6 p.m. local time on the 5th, with a time difference of seven hours.

Sister Jiao and they are very busy, Wang Xiaoshuai, Li Huatong and Niu Le also joined in to help, busy visiting all parties, arranging booths, and promoting their own movies.

He Xin and Li Bing were left with two unlucky children with nothing to do. Sister Jiao is still very caring, considering that it is not easy for the two children to go out of the country, she specially asked her assistant to take them around the city.

Sister Jiao's assistant is Wan Wan, who looks to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and is said to have studied in Germany before and can speak fluent German.

This Wanwan met them for the first time, very enthusiastic, introduced himself as Zhang Xia, at first I heard the name of a girl, Zhang Xia specifically emphasized that he was a chivalrous man, and revealed that the reason why he took this name was because his father was a martial arts fan. He loved his name and it sounded cool.

When they set off, Zhang Xia also enthusiastically asked them what they liked to play? Li Bing was curious about everything here, and he didn't have any purpose, but He Xin wanted to buy something. It's rare to go out once, and he always wants to buy some souvenirs to give to relatives and friends when he goes back, especially he wants to buy a special commemorative gift for Cheng Hao.

He Xin and Li Bing's foreign language level is only the level of "hello" and "thank you", and they don't know anything about German. But whenever I hear Zhang Xia speak in German, I always feel as if I have phlegm in my throat, and the accent is very strange.

For example, Zhang Xia took them to buy something, and after getting in the car, he told the taxi driver a place name, and when he heard it, the pronunciation seemed to be what kind of crotch and crotch.

As soon as he inquired, Zhang Xia couldn't help laughing and said, "That's right, it's the crotch street!"

It turns out that the crotch street is translated as Xuandihou Street, which is one of the most prosperous shopping streets in Berlin, similar to Xidan and Wangfujing in Beijing. Because the local abbreviation of Kurtley Street sounds the same as we say crotch, so I know that Chinese come to Berlin and say to taxi drivers: Go to the crotch!

With Zhang Xia as a guide, it is much more convenient to buy things, and he will introduce to He Xin what specialties are in Germany, what things are cheap, and tax rebates or something.

After a morning, He Xin spent 500 marks to pick a beautiful brooch for Cheng Hao, because after listening to Zhang Xia's introduction, German jewelry has always been known for its delicate and outstanding carving, exquisite carving, and unique shape, and the price is much cheaper than that in China.

I also bought a lot of Cologne perfume and nutcracker dolls, which were affordable and suitable to go back to as souvenirs.

At noon, the three of them sat on the street and tasted the famous German beer and Thuringian red sausage. German beer, He Xin is not used to drinking it, mainly because it is much stronger than domestic beer, and he feels a little dizzy after a glass.

Li Bing was indifferent to shopping, and asked Zhang Xia, "Brother Zhang, where are we going in the afternoon?"

"Where do you want to go, sightseeing or continuing shopping?"

"Brother Xin, do you still want to buy anything?" Li Bing asked He Xin.

After a morning of accompanying He Xin to buy things, he was bored for a long time.

He Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "You are in charge in the afternoon." ”

Li Bing's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhang, what's so fun?"

"What do you want to play?" Zhang Xia winked at him and said ill-intentionedly, "There are more fun places here." ”

As he spoke, he followed up and asked, "How old are you?"

Li Bing didn't look at his young age and was not a good product, he immediately heard the strings and knew the elegance, and hurriedly said: "I am nineteen years old, and my new brother is two years older than me." ”

"Then that's fine. Zhang Xia looked like an old driver and said: "Although this place is called Crotch Street, there is actually a real Crotch Street not far from here." Would you like to see it?"

"The real crotch street?" This time, Li Bing was a little sluggish.

He Xin reacted immediately, what a real crotch street, a red light district!

"Ah, I see!"

Li Bing suddenly exclaimed, the kid finally reacted, and said excitedly: "Go, go and see." ”

He Xin looked constipated.

To say that there is no itching in the heart must be a lie. It's hard to go out of the country, and it's exciting to have the opportunity to ride a big ocean horse, especially since he was reborn, he has been vegetarian for more than a year.

But this thought swirled in his head, and the critical moment was still coaxed. Just like back then, a small street near his house was full of shampoo shops, and he thought about it countless times but never took a step.

"Don't go to that kind of place. He was a little embarrassed to persuade.

Li Bing was on the rise, and hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Xin, just go and see what it looks like." ”

"Or you go, I'll wait for you here. He Xin said tactfully.

It's cold in Berlin, but it's nice to sit here with a beer and bask in the sun.

"Brother Xin, don't be so upset, okay?" Li Bing said a little unhappily.

He felt that He Xin was not enough buddy, and when he went shopping in the morning, he didn't complain.

"That's not a good place! Li Bing, I advise you not to go, what's there to see?" He Xin couldn't help but persuade again.

Li Bing lowered his head and remained silent, his dissatisfaction was obvious.

Zhang Xia looked at the two of them and persuaded He Xin first: "Okay, okay, Ah Xin, since everyone came out together, they should do group activities, right?"

"Of course, group activities are fine, but ......"

Before He Xin's words were finished, Zhang Xia interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and the goods persuaded Li Bing: "Why don't we go?"

"Go, why don't you go? Li Bing was resolute, this kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Ah Xin, look ......" Zhang Xia could only look at He Xin helplessly.

He Xin felt that this product was very enthusiastic at first, but at this time he was a little dissatisfied, originally everyone was happy to go around casually, what do you have to mention that kind of place? It seems that this product is also out of tune.

"Brother Zhang, I have a headache, the jet lag hasn't come over yet, I want to go back to the hotel to sleep for a while. ”

Zhang Xia saw that he was resolute, so he had to call a taxi for him and tell the driver the address of the hotel.

In fact, Kurtihoustra was not far from the hotel where they were staying, only three or four kilometers, but the fare cost 20 marks, which was 80 yuan. After getting out of the car, He Xin looked distressed, but unfortunately he didn't know the way, otherwise he would have walked back directly.
