As Zhang Zi'an went all the way south, the remote and quiet seaside town was gradually left behind.

In a big city, it is inevitable to have a longing for rural life, but it is good to experience rural life in a short time, and after living for a long time, you will feel all kinds of inconveniences of rural life.

The same is true for Zhang Zi'an, living in a seaside villa is indeed very comfortable, but some are too quiet, and the transportation is inconvenient, and it takes an hour to drive to the supermarket, which makes him miss the hustle and bustle of the big city.

He knew very well that he was a layman, and he could not be a master of the world who lived in seclusion.

After waking up this morning, he received a message from Feng Xuan, urging him to return to Berlin as soon as possible to attend the closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the film festival tonight. Even if there is a suspicion within the crew, at least on the surface, it is necessary to maintain a harmonious atmosphere and save from being speculated by media reporters.

Even if Feng Xuan doesn't say it, Zhang Zi'an has to rush back, after attending the closing ceremony, he will catch a plane overnight, and when he waits for tomorrow night, he will return to Binhai City and return to his warm home.

Everything is normal at the pet store at the moment.

According to Lu Yiyun, the number of customers has increased in the past few days, and even the aunts of the neighborhood committee have heard the news, and they have come to express their cordial condolences to Zhang Zi'an, and generously offered to reduce or exempt the sanitation fee and management fee next year, and vaguely reminded Zhang Zi'an to mention in an interview that with the support of the neighborhood committee and the neighborhood office, today's results have been achieved......

Invitations for business cooperation also followed, for example, a certain brand of dog food wanted to invite Feimas to advertise, but the reputation of this dog food has always been bad, and the money given is not much, Zhang Zi'an and Feimas discussed it and decisively refused.

Commercial advertisements are exclusive, for example, after making an advertising endorsement for red Coke, you can't endorse blue Coke, so Zhang Zi'an is very cautious about the choice of dog food advertising, and would rather not accept it than endorse the product in question.

He and π communicate every day, and the communication time is morning and evening, after all, it is a time difference. π is also safe and sound, typing, reading, moving his body, sleeping, and his life is very regular.

After several hours of traveling, he returned to Berlin at noon.

He first took a detour to the pet shop run by Rena, gave her some of the things that Cartoto had brought with him, briefly told her about his interactions with Carl in the past few days, and said goodbye to her.

casually found a restaurant outside to fill his stomach, he returned to the hotel where the crew stayed, and met Feng Xuan to send a guest away.

"Xiao Zhang, you're back, how are you doing relaxing on the beach? I see that you are quite energetic, probably not bad?"

Feng Xuan observed his face, he always thought that Zhang Zi'an asked for leave to go to the beach just to relax and play.

"It's really good. Director Feng, I see that your face is not good, are you quite tired?" Zhang Zi'an said.

Feng Xuan sighed, "Cough, don't mention it, I've been busy these days, and several scripts have been handed to me, some of them are still related, and I have to read them because of the situation, but none of them are satisfactory to me...... I should have taken a leave of absence to go with you to the beach. ”

Although he was sighing, Feng Xuan's eyebrows still carried a little pride and relief, if he wasn't famous, who would remember him, a second- or third-tier director who hadn't come back for a long time?

"By the way, Director Feng, is there any chance of winning the award? It would be great if you could get the Best Director Award. Zhang Zi'an quipped.

Feng Xuan looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Speaking of which...... In the past few days, the crew has asked someone to probe the wind, and I heard that it is really possible. It seems that Lin Feng has also spent a lot of money to buy hot searches, and is ready to create a wave of ......"

Zhang Zi'an is clear, even a director like Feng Xuan, who has not come back for a long time, has received a lot of attention because he was selected for the Berlin Film Festival, and a domestic second-tier actor like Lin Feng must be even more constantly making film appointments, and his salary will naturally rise.

He could see that although Feng Xuan was relatively calm on the surface, he was looking forward to the Silver Bear Award for Best Director in his heart.

Feng Xuan is not young, and he has one less movie to make, and he really wants to win a Silver Bear Award as the end of his directorial career. However, he also knows that the competition for the best director award is fierce, especially for another criminal investigation film director who is also from China, and his reputation has always been good.

After a few simple greetings, Zhang Zi'an excused himself to rest and returned to his room.

In his last appearance at the Berlin Film Festival, he still had to give Pegasus a bath, which he hadn't bathed in the past few days at the beach, with a lot of sand and salt mixed in his hair, and the ashes of charcoal burning in the fireplace.

Because he was going to catch a plane immediately after the closing ceremony, he put all the other elves back into his phone and didn't release them.

Pemmas stood in the bathtub, holding a shower, soaking its fur, applying a dog shower gel he bought from Rena, rubbing it into a lather, then rinsing it with water and drying it with a hair dryer.

"Feimas, Director Feng said just now, the balance of the salary has come down, what are you going to do with the salary? Do you want to build a big gold chain to wear around your neck? Sunglasses and a gold chain, tsk, I guess you have to walk sideways on the road!" he said jokingly while rinsing it.

Feimas was stained with water, and instinctively wanted to twist his body to shake it off, but he still held back, because it was an elf and could not be like other people of the same kind, throwing Zhang Zi'an's face covered with water.

"It doesn't matter, I don't need it anyway, you can deal with it. It said casually, not caring about the issue.

"How can this work?" Zhang Zi'an said seriously, "Although the newcomer's salary is not much, the money is all earned by you and should be at your disposal." If you have the opportunity to make the next movie, the salary should be at least several times higher. ”

"No need. Fei Mars shook his head slightly, "I used to have a lot of money, I wore a diamond necklace around my neck that was much more expensive than a gold chain, and I had a customized car from Ford to travel...... But so what? It's nothing more than a tool for other people to make money, and it can be replaced by other dogs at any time, and other dogs can be replaced at any time, even diamond necklaces and special cars, all to create topics and gimmicks, like ...... As Director Feng said just now, Lin Feng has to spend money to buy hot searches. ”

Zhang Zi'an turned on the hair dryer and blew it for it.

Amid the noise of the hair dryer, Pemmas raised his voice slightly, "This film is worth even a little bit if it can help children in Tibet who are plagued by hydatid disease and the threat of wandering Tibetan mastiffs." As for the salary, as well as the advertising revenue in the future, you can help me dispose of it, and I believe that you can use the money in a more appropriate place. ”

Zhang Zi'an saw that he had made up his mind, so he didn't say more, because saying too much was hypocrisy.

In fact, he had thought of a more suitable place.
