It takes 13 hours to fly from Pujiang to Berlin, which is a rather arduous journey for both adults and children.

The children were very excited at first, but later they got used to it. Fortunately, the departure time was 8 pm. Not long after the plane took off, everyone fell asleep and woke up to Berlin.

However, when they arrived in Berlin, it was 9 am in Pujiang, but 3 am in Berlin!

After getting off the plane, they saw that it was pitch black outside. The children were confused and didn't understand why they woke up from a nap and it was still dark.

Liuliu hurriedly stared at her smart watch and took pictures again and again, thinking it was broken.

Tan Jiner explained to them that it was a problem of jet lag, and they reluctantly accepted it.

Li Qing and the staff of Xiaohongma Film and Television had arrived a few days in advance. They were the ones who picked them up at the airport. They arranged a minibus to take everyone to the hotel where they were staying.

This time, the Little Red Horse Girlfriends Group went out, and many parents also came. Zhang Tan invited them warmly and told them to treat it as a trip at public expense. In addition, the parents were really worried about their children being in a foreign country, so each family came.

Ding Jiamin accompanied Xiaomi, Tan Jiner accompanied Xier, Zhao Gongcheng accompanied Dudu, Meng Guangxin accompanied Chengcheng, and Zhu Xiaojing accompanied Liuliu.

Some people have multiple roles, such as Tan Jiner is also a part-time translator on this trip, and Zhu Xiaojing is a media reporter who is the full representative of the TV station. She followed the interview all the way and sent reports back.

The hotel rooms have been arranged long ago. Everyone received the room card and went back to put their luggage. Li Qing and the staff brought breakfast to everyone.

Although it was late at night in Berlin, everyone had flown for more than ten hours and was hungry, so they needed to eat something to fill their stomachs.

But they couldn't eat too much, so as not to mess up the three meals.

Hearing that they would have to have another breakfast in a few hours, Liuliu was particularly excited.

After breakfast, everyone sat together and chatted. If anyone was tired, they would go to their room to rest.

Zhang Tan listened to Li Qing's report on the film festival.

"Mrs. Marit, the president of the film festival, will visit tomorrow morning."

Li Qing told Zhang Tan a piece of news.

This is the first time that Little Red Horse Film and Television Company has gone abroad to participate in an international film festival. This time, the Berlin Film Festival attaches great importance to it, so there is an arrangement for the president of the film festival to visit in person.

"The Matrix" has brought Little Red Horse Film and Television Company not only box office revenue, but also fame and influence.

If "The Matrix" had not been released, Little Red Horse Film and Television would not have been known abroad, let alone being taken seriously.

Li Qing did his homework and introduced the situation of the president's wife to Zhang Tan in detail.

At five o'clock in the morning, everyone was bored and sleepy, so they all went back to their rooms to rest, and they met again in Berlin when it was dawn.

Everyone had a simple breakfast and took a walk in the park around the hotel to get some fresh air. They had been on the plane last night and stayed in the hotel after landing. They were a little confined and needed to walk and get close to the outdoors.

Tan Jin'er and Zhu Xiaojing did not leave. They stayed in the hotel and accompanied Zhang Tan to wait for the chairman of the Berlin Film Festival to come.

"Here they are." Li Qing saw two black Rolls-Royces parked at the door of the hotel and couldn't help but say, because he had already seen Lucy.

A group of foreigners came out, and a white-haired old man came in the middle. Among the people accompanying him, one was an acquaintance of Zhang Tan, Lucy, who had gone to Pujiang to shoot the nominated short film for them before.

"Hi~~ Zhang, we meet again. Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Chairman." Lucy acted as the introducer of both parties and first introduced Zhang Tan to the chairman, Mrs. Marit.

Zhang Tan smiled and stretched out his hand: "Nice to meet you, it's nice to meet you, Madam."

Marit also smiled and shook hands with him, "I'm very happy that you can come to the Berlin Film Festival. Seeing your talent, I can't help but think of my youth."

The group smiled knowingly and walked into the meeting room arranged by the hotel together.

This trip was just a visit, getting to know each other, and a simple chat.

If there are important guests attending the film festival, they will generally be received by the organizers, but Zhang Tan is particularly valued. A person who is attending the film festival for the first time, the chairman personally visited him.

"I heard that you also brought a new movie this time. I am really looking forward to it." Chairman Marit said.

This is a polite remark.

Zhang Tan said: "This is a suspense horror movie we just shot. I invite you to attend it then."

He spoke in English and did not need Tan Jiner to translate, but Tan Jiner also sat aside. Zhang Tan did not need a translator, but it did not mean that others did not need one. For example, Zhu Xiaojing could not understand.

"Haha, if I am free, I will come." Mrs. Marit did not refuse directly, but she did not agree immediately, which should be a polite refusal.

As the chairman during the film festival, she was busy with affairs. How could she have time to watch a non-competing movie?

"Our Summer" did enter the main competition unit, but she had already seen this film.

After staying for more than an hour, Mariette and her group left. Zhang Tan, accompanied by Li Qing and others, also went to the film festival site for a visit. Although it had not started yet, the site had been completely decorated, with many booths and people inviting passers-by to watch the film.

Tan Jiner and others took Xiaobai and the others to visit Berlin. The film festival will open tomorrow, and they can go sightseeing today.

"Let's go to the street to see the Japanese devils, take pictures, and send them to Rboin and Xiao Weiwei."

Xiaobai never forgets her niece's wish and will do anything to help her fulfill it. She was heartbroken when she thought of her little niece crying.

"This is our booth." Li Qing pointed to a relatively large booth and said.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang!"

There were five staff working in front of the booth. When they saw Zhang Tan and his group, they all said hello.

"Thank you for your hard work," Zhang Tan said, seeing promotional posters for "Our Summer", "The Other Shoe" and "Saw" erected in front of the booth.

"Is anyone paying attention?" he asked.

"Many people came to get the brochures and were very curious about some of our movies." The person in charge of the large-scale events department spoke.

Zhang Tan asked: "Why don't you hang up the promotional posters for The Matrix?"

"This..."The Matrix" is not participating in the exhibition."

"There is no requirement that you must participate in an exhibition before you can hang up posters. People abroad don't know about us, but most of them know about "The Matrix". If we hang it up, we will attract more talents." Zhang Tan said.

Li Qing echoed: "Do as Mr. Zhang said, go get ready, hang out, won't your popularity increase?"

The staff hurriedly prepared to go. Zhang Tan scanned several nearby booths. They were all foreign booths. Some people were also looking at them and took the initiative to say hello.

"We are the Macbeth Film Company from the United States, and I am Jeffrey, the president of the company." A big fat man introduced himself.

Macbeth? Zhang Tan has heard of this company. It is not among the top 1 in the United States, but it is quite famous around the world.

"Hello, we are Little Red Horse Film and Television Company from China. Just call me Zhang Tan."

"From China? Sorry, I really haven't heard of this company." Jeffrey did not hide his true feelings.

Zhang Tan didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "This is our first time to participate in an international film festival."

"Oh, I bought it!!! "The Matrix"???"

Jeffrey suddenly widened his eyes and stared at the promotional poster that had just been hung up. It was clearly "The Matrix".

He looked at Zhang Tan in disbelief and asked, "Did you film "The Matrix"?"

Zhang Tan said to himself, "You are so rare and strange now," "Yes, we are the producer."

Jeffrey quickly reached out and said, "Zhang, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you, emm, I mean, although I haven't heard of your company's name, I am very familiar with the "The Matrix" you filmed... …”
