Chapter 793 The highest courtesy

At 8:30 pm, the plane landed steadily in Berlin. Wang Quan'an took his assistant and walked out with other passengers. Zhang Ran and the others slowly packed their luggage and did not rush out. Shortly after the plane took off, a flight attendant found Zhang Ran and expressed that the entire crew liked him very much and hoped to take a photo when it was convenient for a while. Now that the passengers are getting off the plane, Zhang Ran called all the crew and started taking photos with everyone.

At this time, hundreds of reporters gathered in the lobby on the first floor, as well as a large group of fans holding balloons and carrying support cards to pick up the plane. Most of the fans were Chinese, or Asians. When they heard the flight notice on the radio, they immediately looked into the hall excitedly.

As soon as Wang Quanan walked into the hall, he heard the excited discussions of the passengers in front of him.

"These are all here to pick up Zhang Ran, I didn't expect that there were so many people coming to pick up the plane in Germany!"

"Yes, seeing that the situation is not small, I guess all the international students in Berlin have come here."

"There are many foreigners, but I didn't expect that Zhang Ran has such a great reputation abroad."

Wang Quanan looked up and saw that Zhang Ran's name was written on the support card in the fans' hands. It was true that they came to pick Zhang Ran up; no one recognized him when they saw the reporters in the venue. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Zhang Ran only got a golden lion at the three major film festivals, and he also got the golden bear in Berlin, which is not much worse than him. Berlin is still his home court, and the opening movies of this year's Berlin Film Festival were all his "Group Members", which is the supreme honor. As a result, the reporters and fans who picked up at the airport all came to Zhang Ran.

At this moment, Wang Quan'an's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw Diet Cosrick, the chairman of the Berlin Film Festival. Wang Quan'an is a direct descendant of Berlin, and the film festival also attaches great importance to him. His films were not only shortlisted for the main competition unit, but also the opening film of the film festival. He naturally believed that Diet Cosrick was here to pick him up.

For any participating film, or for any filmmaker, the highest courtesy you enjoy at the film festival is to pick up the film festival chairman himself.

Wang Quanan didn't expect Diet Cosrick to pick him up in person. The excitement and pride from the heart were simply beyond words. He threw away the slightest feeling of Zhang Ran. He smiled brightly and walked towards Diet Cosrick.

Diet Cosrik also saw Wang Quan'an, walked over with a smile, and gave him a hug: "Haha, Quan'an, I didn't expect you to take this flight too!"

The smile suddenly frozen on Wang Quan'an's face, and he froze. Unexpectedly, I also took this flight? Isn't this meant to pick me up? I asked tentatively: "Are you here to pick up Zhang Ran?"

Diet Cosrick said directly: "Yes, I didn't expect you to be a plane. Did you see him?"

Wang Quanan smiled awkwardly and said sourly: "Zhang Ran is very popular. The flight attendants on the plane are all his fans. Now he is taking the crew members to take photos with those flight attendants!"

"Yes, Zhang is so popular!" Diet Cosrik looked at the fans holding various support cards, then turned around and called the staff in charge of the reception, and ordered, "Take Quan'an to the hotel!" He patted Wang Quan'an on the shoulder and said kindly: "You have a break early, and we will find some time to chat alone tomorrow."

After hearing this, Wang Quanan felt much more comfortable. After all, he was a direct descendant of Berlin, not an abandoned orphan. He spoke to Diet Cosrick and walked out through the passage with the reception staff.

Wang Quanan had just gotten into the car of the organizing committee when he suddenly heard a uniform loud shout "Zhang Ran! Zhang Ran!". He couldn't help but sigh slightly. It's good to be famous!

"My dear friend, you are finally here!" Diet Cosrik quickly walked towards Zhang Ran and gave him a fierce bear hug. Next, he opened his arms and gave Zhang Jingchu another hug: "Beautiful Jingchu, you are getting more and more beautiful!"

Zhang Ran exchanged a few greetings with Diet Cosrik and introduced Li Xuejian and other main creators to him: "Let me introduce it. This is Li Xuejian, this is Hu Jun, this is..."

Diet Cosrick likes "One Man's Lights and Decoration" very much and highly praised the actors' performances. Therefore, he is very enthusiastic about the crew members and hugs several main creators one by one.

After leaving the airport, Diet Cosrik, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu got into a car and personally accompanied them toward the brightly lit city center.

Sitting in the car, Diet Cosrick danced and said, ""One Man's Lights and Decoration" is the best movie invited to this film festival and the biggest hit of this film festival. I personally prefer this movie very much. Unfortunately, I am not a judge and I don't have the right to decide on the list of winners!"

The director has long been so concerned about the awards when he is Zhang Ran. He came to Berlin mainly for publicity. The Berlin Film Festival is the best promotional platform for a more experimental movie like "One Person Decoration" and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether you win the award or not, what is important is whether the audience likes it. My movie is mixed in China, and I hope German audiences can like it."

Diet Cosrick is very confident in "One Man's Lights and Decoration": "I believe that German audiences will like this movie. This is a perfect movie, which is really great." He looked at Zhang Jingchu again and praised: "Jingchu, your performance in this movie is so outstanding, and you are a big hit for the film queen. Only the heroine of the Japanese movie "Tamon" can pose some threat to you."

Zhang Jingchu's eyes lit up when she heard this. She had not won a decent international award yet, and she made unimaginable efforts for this movie. Being able to win the award is undoubtedly a recognition of her efforts. However, she still said modestly: "The movies that can be shortlisted are excellent, and everything is hard to say until the end."

The car soon arrived at the Brandenburg Gate in the center of Berlin and stopped at the world-famous Hotel Adelon.

The Adron Hotel is the favorite palace of William II, the last emperor of the German Empire. Countless international celebrities and politicians once checked in. A few years ago, Michael Jackson held his child Prince Michael II on the balcony of the Adron Hotel and waved to the fans downstairs, causing the child to hang up. As a result, the media criticized him for asking for the child to throw it away, saying that he was irresponsible, which caused an uproar.

After entering the hotel and waiting for Zhang Ran and the others to complete the check-in procedures, Diet Cosrick said goodbye to Zhang Ran: "You have a good rest first. If you have anything, you can contact me at any time."

Zhang Ran hugged him: "Thank you, Diet."

When he came to his room, Zhang Ran went to the bathroom to wash his face, sat on the sofa in the living room, took out his cell phone and called Liu Dali: "Old Liu, I'm in Berlin. Let's touch my head later, where do you live?"

Liu Dali laughed when he heard Zhang Ran: "We are at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Potstan Square, and the news center of the film festival is here, and there are reporters in and out. If you come here, you will definitely be surrounded by reporters. Let's come to find you!"

Zhang Ran knew that Hyatt Hotel was one of the main venues of the film festival. During the film festival, he often arranged for all the big names participating in the film festival to settle in. Diet Cosrick was able to arrange for the inspection team to settle in, which was really worthy of face, so he said, "We are in the Adron Hotel, very close to each other, so I will wait for you in the hotel cafe!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran looked at Zhang Jingchu and asked, "I want to go to the cafe to meet Liu Dali and the others. Do you want to go with me?"

Zhang Jingchu felt it was boring to sit in the house, and she didn't want to go out with her assistant, so she turned her head and said, "Okay, after we talk to them, let's go out for a walk together."

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to Berlin at night in the future!"

The two of them were too lazy to change their clothes, so they came out of the room, called their assistant, and came to the hotel cafe.

The cafe is not large and the environment is good. Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu found a quieter place to sit down; the assistant sat down at the table next to it. Since they didn't eat much on the plane, Zhang Ran and the others also ordered some pastries in addition to coffee. As soon as the waiter left, a customer recognized Zhang Ran and came to ask for an autograph. Zhang Ran naturally agreed readily and chatted with the girl who wanted the autograph.

Not long after, Liu Dali and Fang Muwei, who was in charge of the organization of the Fantasy Film Festival in Century, came. Fang Muwei graduated from the Film Academy of Southern California. His home was in the radio and television system. Letting him be responsible for the organization and planning of the film festival is considered to be the best of his talents.

The two greeted Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu, sat down opposite them, ordered coffee, and then started chatting with Zhang Ran.

The Berlin Film Festival is very enthusiastic about Liu Dali and his arrival. He arranged an expert who had worked in the film festival for 30 years to receive it and arranged a special vehicle. Today, under the leadership of this expert, Liu Dali and his team visited the film festival in a brief manner, which can be said to be an eye-opener.

Liu Dali said with emotion: "We used to hold the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival in Lin'an and Ningbo, but we didn't think it was difficult to hold the film festival. After visiting this year, I knew how complicated it was. It was time to let the clones, who were unskilled and noble and charming, and we had to rack our brains just in the schedule. The participants came from more than 100 regions around the world, and reception, accommodation and travel were all problems. It was too difficult to hold a successful international film festival. It needed a complete organizational structure and a system in all aspects. The Berlin Film Festival has been 60 years and the organizational structure is very mature. However, the person in charge of the film festival told us that even so, many problems will arise every year. The complexity of the film festival organization work is beyond imagination."

Zhang Ran nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's really not easy to hold a film festival well, so we not only need to inspect the film festivals well, but also the exam room is not very good at the exam. We should also go to the Modu Film Festival. The Modu Film Festival is almost far from the three major film festivals in terms of professionalism, and the organizational work is quite chaotic. Last year, I attended the Modu Film Festival, and I had a personal experience. A reporter who knew told me that the Modu Film Festival is the most chaotic organization among the international A-class film festivals he has participated in. Let's go to the Modu Film Festival to see why it is like this. Where is their problems? Only when we do it ourselves can we try to avoid these problems."

Liu Dali's eyes lit up. Zhang Ran was so successful, it was really not a prank. It was really far from seeing problems than ordinary people. Others often stared at good things when they were inspecting them. Not only did they have to look at good things, but they also wanted to see bad things. When you know what others did not do well, then when you do it yourself, you can avoid these problems. Nodded and said, "The Magic City Film Festival should be viewed. We should learn from the good things, and we should eliminate bad things."

Fang Muwei next to him laughed: "Mr. Zhang, you don't know. We met people from the Cultural and Broadcasting Bureau of the Magic City today. On the 13th, they had a promotion meeting to promote this year's Magic City Film Festival."

Zhang Ran was stunned and laughed: "It seems that the Magic City Film Festival is as pedantic as I imagined, and I still really know how to keep pace with the international community!"
