Chapter 77: To Berlin
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, when most of the people were still celebrating the Spring Festival, Fang Yan took his team to the airport and prepared to fly from the imperial capital to Berlin.
The Organizing Committee of the Berlin Film Festival has announced the shortlist of the main competition unit, and "Ke Ke Xili" is among them, so this trip to Berlin is full of expectations from top to bottom.
"I'm sorry sir, but you can't bring anything on the plane."
When passing through the security check, Wang Baoying was stopped by the airport personnel with a confused expression.
Canned food, beverages, toilet water...... One by one, the prohibited items of the plane were turned out of Wang Baoxi's big backpack, and his posture was like going camping.
Fang Yan stood aside and asked in confusion, "Bao Xiang, why are you bringing so many things?"
Wang Baoying blinked aggrievedly: "It takes more than ten hours to take the plane, I'm afraid I'm hungry!"
Hearing this answer, Fang Yan said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this problem, there is food and drink on the plane."
"Uh...... The things sold on the plane must be expensive, and I am reluctant to spend money. ”
"Rest assured, the food is free."
Fang Yan rubbed Wang Bao's head and said teasingly: "You kid is quite good at living, but what's the use of you using this flower water?"
"Brother, you don't understand!"
Wang Baoying raised his head and said proudly: "I have heard others say before that the foreign season is opposite to the domestic season, which means that it is summer in Berlin, and we are not afraid of mosquitoes with flower water."
"Poof—"
Yu Nan, who had not spoken beside her, couldn't help it, she twisted her head to the side, covered her mouth and snickered.
"Bao Xiang...... You really should study geography well! ”
Fang Yan patted him on the shoulder with pity, then turned around and left with a sigh.
"What do you mean?" Wang Baoxuan scratched his head stupidly, a little confused.
"Silly boy, only the countries of the southern hemisphere are the opposite of the Chinese season!"
Duan Long scolded with a smile and punched Wang Baoyu: "Berlin is in the northern hemisphere, and it's winter over there like here."
"Ahh
Wang Baoxuan was dumbfounded, he wanted to cry and said without tears: "It's broken now, I didn't bring extra winter clothes."
"Hahaha, you are called smart but you are mistaken by smart." Duan Long showed a mocking expression and said, "Now you don't have time to go back and get it, save some clothes."
…………
After some tossing, everyone finally got on the plane.
"Alas...... I can't stretch my legs. ”
In line with the principle of saving money and saving, Fang Yan and his party bought economy class, the space was relatively small, and they felt crowded.
For Fang Yan, the only consolation was that Yu Nan was sitting next to him, accompanied by beauties along the way, and he was not bored.
"Hey, where are you looking?"
Just as Fang Yan was peeking at the beautiful flight attendant, Yu Nan's cold voice came from his ears.
"That...... Don't get me wrong, I just think their uniforms are well designed, just admire them. ”
Fang Yan snorted weakly, wanting to get by.
Yu Nan squinted slightly, and said with a smile: "I want to ask, why do you want to stare at your thighs when you appreciate the uniform?"
If you want to talk about which part of the flight attendant's body is the most attractive, it must be the slender and straight thighs, especially if you put on flesh-colored or black stockings, that look like a normal man will take a few more looks.
"Oops...... I was dizzy and wanted to throw up. ”
At a critical moment, Fang Yan directly pretended to be airsick.
"Brother, are you alright?"
Wang Baoying, who was sitting on the other side of Fang Yan and by the window, said kindly: "I'll open the window for you, and it will be comfortable to breathe in at that time."
Brother, the prototype of people in embarrassment is really you!
Fang Yan instantly remembered the funny plot of "People in Embarrassment" in his mind, and the phrase "art comes from life" is really a wise saying.
After more than ten hours of travel, the plane finally arrived in Berlin.
Located in northeastern Germany, Berlin is the capital and largest city of Germany.
After the Second World War, Berlin was divided into two regions, East Berlin became the capital of East Germany, and West Berlin became a de facto enclave of West Germany in East Germany, surrounded by the Berlin Wall.
It was not until the reunification of East and West Germany in 1990 that Berlin regained its status as the German capital.
"Is this what Berlin is like?"
On the way to the hotel, Yu Hewei kept looking at the surrounding buildings, and said with some disappointment: "It's all some dilapidated small buildings, why don't you even have a high-rise building?"
"This gentleman, you don't know anything ......?"
Through the guide's explanation, Fang Yanzhong understood the reason.
It turns out that Berlin's soil is more special, it is more sandy and the vegetation is softer, so it can't bear the weight of skyscrapers.
If you don't believe in evil and want to build a building in Berlin, maybe the building will sink into the ground before it is finished.
Even if you spend a lot of money on the foundation, the safety of the building is an issue, so Berlin locals don't go after skyscrapers.
In addition, according to the regulations of the German government, except for international large cities, the general building height cannot exceed the height of the local church, if you want to build a high-rise building, the first thing to do is to apply to the state government, which is a bit similar to not allowing high-rise buildings to be built in the second ring road of the Chinese imperial capital.
Half an hour later, Fang Yan and the others finally came to the collapsed hotel.
The reason why I chose to stay here is because the hotel is very close to the Berlin Film Festival, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk.
According to the arrangement, it is basically a room for two people, and after everyone checks in, they go back to the room to rest.
Yu Nan, as the only girl in the team, is naturally in a separate room.
"Wait, why are you here?"
Yu Nan stood in front of her door and found that Fang Yan lived next door to hers.
"Any questions?"
Fang Yan said confidently: "As a director and the boss of the company, it's normal for me to have a single room."
"Don't think I don't know what's going on in your heart!"
Yu Nan's face was slightly red, and he said coquettishly: "I warn you, you are not allowed to enter my room!"
"No problem!"
Fang Yan simply agreed, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "No matter what, my room will be open for you at any time."
"Phew...... Stinky and shameless! ”
Yu Nan rolled his eyes, quickly walked into the room and closed the door.
Seeing this scene, Fang Yan shook his head and smiled: "It's obviously just one step away, what are you still shy."
…………
This year's Berlinale has a lot of excellent films, of which a total of 24 films have been shortlisted for the main competition.
"Ho Ho Xili" was scheduled to be screened on the sixth day of the festival, and before that, Fang Yan had enough leisure to watch other films.
