Chapter 103 The diplomat in Germany is the boss

At eight o'clock in the evening, Walter was sent off by Disney's special car and headed for Los Angeles International Airport, where to go so late, naturally to go to Berlin quickly, after all, the samples of "Enter the Dragon" were sent too late, and the time was really tight.

"I'm sorry, Robert, I just went back to the United States and asked you to accompany me to Berlin. ”

Looking at Robert Iger, who was in a trance around him and was obviously still adjusting the jet lag, Walter apologized a little embarrassed. After all, in Hong Kong, with Bruce Lee's prejudice and hatred of whites, Robert finally came back, and he was going to Europe before he rested, obviously his boss would seem unkind.

"It's okay, boss, in fact, even if you don't ask me to go, I'll take the initiative to ask for it. ”

"Oh? really?"

"Of course, after all, it is one of the three major film festivals in Europe, and I have never even been to the Oscars, so now that I can go to the West Berlin International Film Festival, I naturally have to see it. Robert said shyly looking down like a shy child.

"Then I hope you have a good time this time, of course, I believe you, you will be a regular at the Oscars in the future!" Walter replied encouragingly, while sighing in his heart, this guy is really a shy person, and I don't know how he managed to hold his position at Disney for so long.

After all, if you want to promote it better in the future, if you don't take some awards to fool the audience and hype it up, how can you publicize it well?

When they arrived at the airport, when Walter and Robert got out of the car, they happened to bump into Mike and several of his assistants, who were already waiting, but there were two more familiar people in the crowd.

"Raymond, Miss Zhao, you?"

Walter was very surprised, but Zou Wenhuai, who was obviously very thick-skinned over there, said without embarrassment: "I heard Mike say that you are going to take "Enter the Dragon" to participate in the West Berlin International Film Festival, I think we feel the best to go together as collaborators." After speaking, Zou Wenhuai may have found that this reason was not enough, and added: "If you leave, Ah Zhi and I will have to stay in Los Angeles and wait for you to come, so it is better to take this opportunity to go with you to see ......"

I also use Zhao Yazhi as a shield, but I can't refuse you, what an old fox......

Walter refused in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "It's okay, let's go together, you're welcome!" After speaking, he also took the initiative to smile and said to Zhao Yazhi: "Miss Zhao, I really wronged you by doing a plane back and forth!"

"Ah! it's okay! I'm fine......" Zhao Yazhi was suddenly said in front of everyone in front of Walter, and his words were flustered.

With the roar of the engines, the plane spews out white air currents and glides through the dark sky to Berlin.

Berlin – Berlin, located in the northeast of Germany, is the capital and largest city of Germany, surrounded on all sides by the state of Brandenburg, through which the rivers Spree and Havre flow. After the Second World War, the city was divided into two districts, and East Berlin became the capital of East Germany, which became a de facto enclave of West Germany in East Germany, surrounded by the Berlin Wall.

The West Berlin International Film Festival also came into being at this time, after World War II, under the rescue of the Marshall Plan, which was officially known as the European Recovery Program, and the United States called it The Marshall Plan, Germany was abolished all armed forces after the war, and after the full development of industry, with the assistance of the United States, it continued to recover.

It was under these circumstances that the United States, in the hope of spreading public opinion and political propaganda from West Berlin to the Soviet Union, sponsored a large amount of funds by American diplomats and politicians, and held the first film festival in West Berlin, a city destroyed by Allied shells during World War II, in 1951. Of course, because the budget was not large, the scale was not large, and in the end, only 20 countries attended, and it was not an ideal place to visit, so many people complained about the bad weather and the corresponding reception work of the organizers.

Flughafen Berlin-Tempelhof, the main airport in West Berlin, was the first to complain about the cold weather when Walter and his party got off the plane, and now they also experienced what happened to the guests who attended the first edition of the festival.

But fortunately, although Walter did not prepare warm cotton clothes and other things to keep out the cold because they were in time, it is obvious that the organizers of the West Berlin International Film Festival, after so many years of hosting experience, the staff who came to receive them have already prepared ordinary but very warm cotton clothes for them, of course, these cotton clothes are worn at their own expense, but they are very cheap.

The weather is cold, and it rains continuously, this is Walter's first image of Berlin, he had never been to Berlin in his previous life, and when he came in this life, it felt like entering the rainy season in the southeast of the mainland to catch up with the typhoon and tsunami, which was extremely wet and cold.

"Ahh

No, just after the jet lag, Walter contracted a small cold, probably because of the water and soil adaptation, it was really uncomfortable, and the whole person looked sick.

"Are you okay? Walter?" After Mike, who had led people to go to full public relations, returned to the hotel where everyone was staying, he was about to report the results to Walter, when he was startled by his loud sneeze, and hurriedly asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's just hard. ”

"Have you taken your medicine?"

"Hmm...... Eaten. By the way, what was the result?"

"Because we were going to participate in the competition, I didn't go to other posts, but went directly to the US Embassy in Germany to ask for help, and just now, a diplomat in there was willing to help us. ”

"Diplomats?"

"That's right! Now in this situation, I can only look for them. ”

"It's okay, let's talk, what price do you have to pay?" Walter didn't care, now that the West Berlin International Film Festival has opened more than halfway through, if they want to let "Enter the Dragon", which originally did not have a list of entrants, appear at the West Berlin International Film Festival, and successfully broadcast it in the cinema screening hall in West Berlin in the next short time, they can only find the behind-the-scenes boss of the film festival.

And these politicians in Germany, especially the diplomatic and cultural officials in the embassy, are the biggest bosses behind the West Berlin International Film Festival. Because the first West Berlin Film Festival was born out of the fact that Oscar Marta, an American official in Germany, felt that a similar event should be held in Berlin after attending the Venice Film Festival, which is why they later sponsored most of the funds to create this political film festival.
