That evening, Xiao Yao registered and filled out the form for himself and Zhan Youcheng on the website of the German embassy in China, and made an appointment for an interview to apply for a visa. The next day was Sunday, Xiao Yao stayed in Zhan Youcheng's shop for another day, and only flew back to Shencheng in the evening from Jiuhuang Airport, which is the closest to Wuyou County and only a hundred kilometers away.

The Germans were very efficient, and on Wednesday, Xiao Yao received a reply, and the interview was scheduled for next Monday. After receiving Xiao Yao's notice, Zhan Youcheng also began to prepare various materials, and at the same time resolutely rejected Xiao Yao's proposal to come to Wuyou County to pick him up again, and flew to Yanjing by plane on Sunday.

Since Zhan Youcheng resolutely refused Xiao Yao to pick him up in Wuyou County, Xiao Yao did not run to Wuyou County this weekend, but flew back to Yanjing's home for a weekend. On Sunday, Xiao Yao went to Yanjing Airport to pick up Zhan Youcheng and sent him to the hotel that had booked a room for him in advance. Xiao Yao is a native of Yanjing, and he is also a landlord in Yanjing, but Zhan Youcheng did not refuse Xiao Yao's arrangement.

The process of going to the interview on Monday morning was very smooth, Xiao Yao and Zhan Youcheng prepared all kinds of materials quite completely, and there were no problems in the economy. In order to ensure that there were no problems with the visa, Xiao Yao even specially asked someone from BMW to send him a business invitation letter. Xiao Yao told Zhan Youcheng that he had acquaintances in Munich in Germany, not that he had friends, but that he had cooperated with the famous German car brand BMW. He cooperated with BMW's headquarters, which is located in Munich, Germany.

After winning an award at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival last year, Xiao Yao received an invitation from BMW to direct an advertisement. At that time, Xiao Yao moved the BMW series advertisements from his previous life and planned a project for them to advertise with short films. In the middle of last year, the first short advertising film directed by Mu Ying was filmed, and after it was broadcast simultaneously on the TV station and the official website, it achieved very good market results. Within the BMW Group, Martin Groz, the marketing director who spearheaded the project, has grown in prestige and status.

Martin Groz benefited a lot from this project, and naturally attached great importance to Xiao Yao as a creative provider and script writer. For more than half a year, Martin Groz has also been paying attention to Xiao Yao, a young Chinese genius. Last year, Xiao Yao made a lot of movements, both in China and around the world, there are a lot of news, Martin Groz was amazed by this Chinese kid several times, and he was more determined to hold him firmly in his hands and continue to cooperate with him.

At that time, Xiao Yao said that this movie advertisement could be made into a series, and judging from the effect of the first movie advertisement, this statement is undoubtedly very accurate, and this is indeed a long-term project that can be continued. In March, BMW had already decided to make another short film commercial this year.

Last year at Clermont Ferrand, Xiao Yao told Martin Groz that he could provide scripts for three to five short film commercials. Although only one was handed over at that time, Xiao Yao would definitely have no problem writing two to four more scripts. At Martin Groz's suggestion, BMW's decision-makers were inclined to continue working with Xiao Yao, the creative provider of the project and the author of the script for the first film commercial.

Martin Groz had planned to contact Xiao Yao to discuss the script for the second part of the commercial film, and even wanted to invite him to direct the filming of the second part. At this time, Xiao Yao called and asked him to help send a business invitation letter for visas in the name of BMW, and Martin Groz naturally agreed without saying a word.

On Monday, Xiao Yao and Zhan Youcheng received their visas on Wednesday, and on Thursday, Xiao Yao and Zhan Youcheng stepped on a plane to Munich, Germany.

The flight time from Yanjing to Munich is more than ten hours, but there is a seven-hour time difference between the two places, which is equivalent to seven hours of time recovered on the plane. Xiao Yao and Zhan Youcheng's flight took off from Yanjing at 2 p.m. on Thursday, and when they landed in Munich, it was only 5 p.m. local time, and it wasn't even dark.

"Mr. Xiao!" Xiao Yao pushed the luggage of the two people, and as soon as Zhan Youcheng, who was on crutches, walked out of the passenger passage, he heard someone shouting his name in accented English.

Xiao Yao looked up and found a blonde man holding a cardboard with his name written on it at the exit beckoning to him.

"Hello, Mr. Bendmo. Xiao Yao walked over with Zhan Youcheng and greeted the blonde man with a smile.

The young man who came to pick him up was Gil Bendmoor, an assistant to Martin Groz. Last year at Clermont Ferrand, Gil Bendmoth had been with Martin Groz, whom Xiao Yao also knew.

"Hello Mr. Xiao!Welcome to Munich!" Gil Bendermo put down the pick-up card he was holding and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Xiao Yao.

"Thank you, and thank you, Mr. Groz, for this time. Xiao Yao reached out and shook hands with Jill Bendmo.

"You're welcome," said Gil Bendermoor, smiling, "Mr. Groz said that you are our friend. You came to Munich, we should be entertained. ”

When contacting Martin Groz, Xiao Yao told the other party that this time he came to Germany was a private matter, and asked him to send a business invitation letter just to ensure that a friend who was traveling with him could get a visa, and he didn't really want to go to BMW to talk about any work, but Martin Groz, who happened to want to talk to Xiao Yao about work, took this opportunity to send Xiao Yao a very formal invitation to visit BMW headquarters.

Xiao Yao didn't agree, nor did he refuse, but just replied that he would decide when the time came. Martin Groz received such an answer and tried to ask Xiao Yao about the personal affairs that Xiao Yao had come to Munich to deal with. After listening to Xiao Yao's brief explanation, Martin Groz immediately expressed his willingness to help and would help them arrange their trip in Munich. After getting the information of Xiao Yao's flight, Martin Groz also sent his assistant to pick up the plane.

"This is Jen, my friend. Xiao Yao pointed to Zhan Youcheng beside him and introduced.

"Hello, Mr. Zhan! I'm Jill Bendmo!" said Bendmo with a smile and stretched out his hand to Zhan Youcheng.

"Hello!" Zhan Youcheng also smiled and shook hands with Bendemo.

"Mr. Xiao, I'll send you back to the hotel first. Mr. Groz has booked a restaurant and will have you a dinner in the evening. Bendermo said to Xiao Yao.

"Okay, thanks. Xiao Yao nodded and thanked him with a smile.

"Mr. Zhan, I'll push you away. Bendermo reached out and pulled an empty wheelchair from the side.

Bendermo knew that Xiao Yao didn't even bring his agent and assistant this time, so he brought a friend who had a leg amputation to order a prosthesis, obviously the relationship between the two was not ordinary, and Bendermo was also very thoughtful to push over a wheelchair prepared by the airport for the disabled and the elderly in advance.

"Thank you, no need! I can go by myself!" Zhan Youcheng shook his head.

"My friend doesn't use this. Xiao Yao also said.

"This, okay!" Bendmore scratched his head a little embarrassedly, put the wheelchair aside, and then reached for Xiao Yao's luggage cart, "I'll help you!"

"No, you can lead the way. Xiao Yao smiled and refused again.

"Okay. Bendermo could only stretch out his hand and make a gesture of invitation, "Go this way!"

The three of them came to the parking lot, and Bendmo helped Xiao Yao put his luggage into the trunk of the car, and then drove the two of them to the hotel where the room had been booked.

"Xiao Yao, what kind of friend are you? The man in a suit and leather shoes came to pick him up, and what Mr. Groz, how do I feel like I'm talking about his boss." On the way to the hotel, Zhan Youcheng asked Xiao Yao in a low voice in Chinese.

"Actually, it's not a friend, it's a partner. Xiao Yao replied in Chinese with a smile, "Mr. Groz is the marketing director of BMW's headquarters in Germany, and this Bendermo is Groz's assistant. ”

"Do you know the marketing director of BMW Germany?" said Zhan Youcheng.

"There has been a cooperation," Xiao Yao nodded, "I wrote the script for BMW's movie commercial, and I also came up with the idea of making the advertisement into a movie." ”

"I'll go!" Zhan Youcheng looked at Xiao Yao and said, "It seems that I should tell your mother to let you be the screenwriter of my biographical film." ”

"My mom has already approached me, but I didn't say yes. Xiao Yao smiled, "Your licensing agreement has been signed, this time you said it doesn't count." ”

After Jill Bendermo sent the two to the hotel, Xiao Yao and Zhan Youcheng didn't have much rest considering that Groz would have dinner in the evening, but simply sorted out their luggage and went downstairs to the lobby to meet Bendmo.

When Bendermore brought the two to the restaurant, Groz had already arrived early and was sitting in his seat waiting for them.

"Jan, welcome to Munich! Sorry I didn't pick you up at the airport, I have an important meeting in the afternoon, and I really can't leave!" Seeing Xiao Yao's arrival, Martin Groz, a middle-aged man who looked quite serious on the outside, gave Xiao Yao a warm hug with a smile on his face, and even changed his name to Xiao Yao with a greeting in his mouth.

"No, Mr. Groz, you have done so much for me, and I am already grateful to you. Xiao Yao was a little confused by Groz's enthusiasm, and hurriedly smiled.

"Jan, you can just call me Martin. Martin Groz.

"Well, thank you, Martin. Xiao Yao smiled and nodded.

"This is my friend, Jen!"

"Brother Cheng, this is Mr. Martin Groz!"

Xiao Yao introduced Martin Groz and Zhan Youcheng.

Martin Groz and Zhan Youcheng greeted each other, and Martin Groz beckoned everyone to take a seat.

When everyone arrived, the waiter began to serve the food, and everyone chatted while eating.

"Jan, Mr. Zhan, Gil will take you to the Aujin Company tomorrow morning. We've already been in touch there, and the best technicians from their company will take care of your orders when the time comes. During the dinner, Martin Groz took the initiative to mention Xiao Yao's visit.

Ogin is the company that makes prosthetic limbs. After learning that Xiao Yao was looking for that company to help his friend order a prosthetic, Martin Groz also found the senior management of Aojin Company through his own connections and gave Xiao Yao a higher level of treatment.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao and Zhan Youcheng thanked together.

"You're welcome. Martin Groz shook his head with a smile and continued, "As far as I know, their test program could last a day. Their company has very professional personnel to take care of Mr. Zhan, and it is still inconvenient for others to be present for some tests. Jan, I don't think it's necessary for you to stay in Aujin all day tomorrow. While Mr. Zhan is doing the test, you can come to our BMW headquarters to have a look. ”

"Xiao Yao, you go, you don't have to accompany me all day. Zhan Youcheng also said to Xiao Yao. In his opinion, it is very rare for such a world-renowned company to take the initiative to invite to visit, and he doesn't want to affect Xiao Yao's career because of his own affairs.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile and said to Martin Groz, "Thank you again for the invitation, after sending Zhan to Aujin tomorrow, I will visit your BMW headquarters." ”

"Okay, you're very welcome. Martin Groz laughs, "I hope this visit will inspire you more." ”

"Inspiration?" Xiao Yao was a little puzzled.

"A BMW commercial film, of course. Martin Groz threw out his purpose, "Last year's advertising film worked very well, and the company has decided to make another one this year." For this year's one, we still prefer to ask you to write the script for us, and if you can, it would be better if you could direct it. ”

"So that's the case," Xiao Yao smiled knowingly, "I thought that after last year's advertising movie, you BMW would make this series again, and you would invite Hollywood or well-known European directors." ”

"We do have the intention of doing so. Martin Groz nodded, "Actually, although the company passed the project last year, there are still some people who oppose Wood as a director because they invited Owen Josini, a Hollywood A-lister, to star. Fortunately, Mu himself participated in the writing of the script, and the short film was nominated by Clermont Ferrand, and the director of Owen Chorsini's famous work is a graduate of USC like Mu, and he has a special liking for the director of USC, and I am not opposed to Mu directing this short film, so I can insist that Mu shoot it. ”

"For this year's film, most people in the company still tend to invite well-known directors to shoot it. Martin Grotz continued, "I wasn't against it originally, but if you're willing to direct, I'm confident that the rest of the company will agree." In terms of experience and status as a director, you are not as good as those well-known directors, but if you are purely popular, you will not be worse than those big directors. Just what happened around New York Fashion Week last year should be no less known to you than to the big directors. And when it comes to the quality of the film, I have a lot of confidence in you, and I believe that you will at least not be worse than the one made by wood. ”

"Thank you for your attention," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "At present, in China, there is a feature film starring me in preparation, I need to prepare for this, I'm afraid I can't help you make advertising films, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." But in terms of script, I have no problem. I'll send me the information about your flagship model this year, and I'll hand you a new advertising movie script when I visit BMW headquarters tomorrow. ”

Martin Groz turned his head to look at his assistant next to him, Jill Bendmoor, who understood, said hello, and got up and walked out of the restaurant.

A moment later, Jill Bendermow returned with a briefcase. After sitting down, Jill Bendermo handed the briefcase to Xiao Yao and said: "The information of our main models this year has been printed out. ”

"This thing is in Mr. Bendmo's car, right?" Xiao Yao took it with a smile, "It seems that you have been prepared for a long time!"

"It was meant to be given to you tomorrow. "But since you mentioned it, it seems like a better option for you to give us the script publicly tomorrow." ”
