Chapter 724: A Red Carpet for One Man
"Is it really quitting?"
At the entrance of the Cubix7 theater, a freckled teenager asked in disappointment.
"I'm sorry, kid, I probably won't be acting today. One theater employee regretfully replied, "Let's go home first." ”
"When will it be played?" asked the freckled boy unrelentingly.
The employee shook his head, "We don't know, we just know that the gentleman in charge of the on-site translation suddenly fell ill and was admitted to the hospital, as for when it will be re-released, it will probably wait for him to get sick." I suggest you stay tuned for follow-up notifications when you get home. ”
"However, the film festival is only ten days in total, can that Mr. Translator recover in ten days?" the freckled boy said with a bitter face, "It won't be released again after ten days, right?"
He knows the process of the festival very well, after all, it is not the first year he has participated. He is a loyal viewer of the Berlin Film Festival, and he has been a must-see every year since he was a child, and this year he can finally watch the higher-level 14plus, and since he got the movie guide, he has been in love with the movie "War Dog" at a glance, and he is looking forward to the day of release.
He doesn't have a dog at home, but he likes dogs very much, and he can only live a dog addiction through movies.
"I don't know, kid, I don't know. ”
Employees said they couldn't help. He looked at his watch, it was almost time for the show, and if the miracle did not occur, the screening would have to be cancelled - the so-called miracle is that the simultaneous interpreter suddenly recovered and appeared at the door of the theater.
"Can you wait a little longer? maybe a new translator will come and ......" The freckled boy looked to the left and right, hoping for a miracle.
"Son, it's not that simple. The employee patiently explained, "Translation needs to be prepared several days in advance, and it is not just a random person who can act as a translator - especially this movie, which has to be translated from Chinese to English and then from English to German, and any mistake in the middle may misinterpret the original meaning." ”
"But...... My English is good, maybe I don't need a translator to understand it. The freckled boy said eagerly, "Can't you just show it like this?"
"I'd love to be accommodating, too, but rules are rules. I'm sorry, kid. The employee shook his head and beckoned to the other employees, "Come, help, this red carpet is not needed, let's roll it up together." ”
Another employee walked over, and the two bent over to roll up the red carpet.
"Wait a minute!"
A taxi pulled up in front of the theater, and a young man with black hair and yellow skin had no time to get out of the car and shouted to them through the window, in German.
Zhang Zi'an paid the fare and led Pemmas to trot over.
"Sir, what's the matter?" the employee looked at him, feeling that he looked familiar.
"It's Pegas!" the freckled boy blinked and suddenly exclaimed.
He excitedly pulled the employee's sleeve and pointed at Pegas, "It's Pegasus! It's the dog who played "War Dogs"!"
Employees watched last night's opening ceremony and recognized Feimas and Zhang Zi'an at this time — in his opinion, Asians' facial contours are similar and difficult to identify.
"Yes, hello!" Zhang Zi'an greeted them with a smile and in German, and of course it was Richard who was in charge.
In addition to this freckled teenager, there are also many teenagers and girls gathered at the entrance of the Cubix7 theater, and they are standing outside in groups of three and two, all for "War Dog". After getting the news that the movie might be canceled, some of them left disappointed, while many more wanted to wait.
There was no media, no family, no reporters, no photographers, and it looked miserable and lonely in the lively film festival.
Well-informed media outlets have long been aware of the possible cancellation of the screening, and even the few media outlets that have already been there have already gone home in search of more valuable news.
Zhang Zi'an had expected this situation and was not disappointed.
"Come and see! Come and see!" cried out to his companions.
When the teenagers and girls heard the news, they seemed to have been injected with a heart booster, and they hula and surrounded them - even if they couldn't watch the movie today, at least they had close contact with Feimas, which was worth the trip.
The two employees hurriedly put down the red carpet to maintain order on the scene, and blocked the teenagers and girls from the isolation strips on both sides of the red carpet.
The teenagers and girls raised their mobile phones one after another to take pictures of Pegasus and Zhang Zi'an.
"Sir, we haven't heard of your coming......"
When the order of the scene stabilized slightly, an employee said to Zhang Zi'an in embarrassment.
"I did it on my own initiative. Richard replied in fluent German instead of Zhang Zi'an, "I heard that your translator is sick, but it just so happens that my German is good, and I participated in the whole filming of this movie, I think I can do the job of translator." ”
"This ......" the two employees looked at each other.
"We need to ask our superiors for advice. ”
One employee winked at the other and told him to go into the theater to ask his superiors.
"Please. ”
Zhang Zi'an did not wait, but led Feimas to the children, whether the children wanted to take a group photo or touch Feimas, they met their requirements.
"Sir, sir, I heard it just now, are you serious? Do you really want to be the translator of this movie?" the freckled boy leaned forward and asked Zhang Zi'an in a loud voice, his eyes full of anticipation.
"If the theater side allows it. Zhang Zi'an smiled.
"Great! they'll say yes!" the freckled boy cheered excitedly, "By the way, you're the owner of Pegas, aren't you?
He handed over a pen and paper.
"Are you sure you want my signature?" asked Richard, surprised, "or do you want Flying Mars to leave you a paw print?"
"Yes, I would like to ask you to sign it. The freckled boy nodded earnestly, "You're a good man." ”
Zhang Zi'an smiled, he didn't expect to be issued a good person card in Germany.
He took the freckled boy's pen and paper and signed his name in Chinese and English.
At this time, the employee who went in to ask for instructions ran out of breath, "Sir, the superior has agreed, please come in." ”
Zhang Zi'an neatly dressed the suit and tie, led Pemmas and stepped on the red carpet.
The red carpet leads straight to the entrance to the Cubix7 theater, which is spotlessly clean, not even a shoe print, after all, no one has walked it yet.
There were no reporters holding microphones on either side, no photographers holding cameras, only innocent teenagers and girls with bright smiles and cheering for him and it.
This is probably the most special red carpet ceremony in the history of the Berlinale.
On the red carpet of one person, he walked forward with his head held high, looking like a prince.
