Chapter 2773: One Talks Nonsense and the Other Flips

When we came out of the salon, it was only 8:30 in the evening. The night in Berlin was not as lively as that in Pujiang, but it also had its own unique charm. Li Qing arranged a nanny car and took everyone to roam around Berlin.

It was not until 9:30 in the evening that everyone returned to the hotel to rest.

Xiaobai and Zhang Tan live in the same room. As soon as she came back, she made a video call to her grandmother to report her itinerary for the day.

The next day, the Berlin Film Festival opened.

While having breakfast in the morning, Zhang Tan saw Yao Quan and Wan Kun who had just arrived last night.

They had other plans so they didn't fly to Berlin until last night.

Zhang Tan chatted with them and was invited to attend the opening ceremony together. The opening film was "Your Eyes", a suspense film from Argentina.

Zhang Tan was watching with great interest, but Liuliu and the others were yawning and looking listless, he was almost hypnotized.

Xiaobai, on the other hand, sat upright, watching very seriously.

Zhang Tan asked her if she looked good. Xiaobai nodded seriously without saying anything, not tolerant of being distracted.

But Xier, who was sitting next to her, kept twisting her butt and moving around. Xiaobai couldn't stand it anymore and asked her to sit still.

The happy baby quickly sat up straight, but was quiet for a while before starting to twist his body again.

It is really difficult to let a child as young as her sit here and watch a movie for more than an hour. The key point is that she can't understand the movie. If it is "Dora the Adventurer", she can watch it for a whole day without moving her butt.

She would steal a glance at Xiaobai from time to time, and was very curious about why Xiaobai was looking at it so seriously. Was it really that beautiful?

She asked quietly, and Xiaobai said unhappily: "I'm a director, how can I not understand it?"

Xiwawa kept mumbling to the director, saying that she didn't understand him.

Then he asked in a low voice: "Xiaobai, is Li Syaoran really Xiaoying's boyfriend?"

This? This, this, this, Xiaobai really didn't want to respond, but she couldn't help it. She was an expert on Cardcaptor Sakura!

"He is." Xiaobai responded simply.

Xier continued to mutter, "Sakura already has a boyfriend, why doesn't my sister have one?"

Xiaobai ignored her, but Xiwawa would ask questions from "Cardcaptor Sakura" from time to time, which made it impossible for her to concentrate.

"If you keep talking, I won't help you eat eggs tomorrow morning." Xiaobai used his trump card.

Sure enough, the happy baby stopped talking.

Xiaobai continued to stare at the big screen seriously. In fact, she didn't understand what the movie was about at all. Although she tried hard to watch it, the scenes just passed through her mind without leaving any trace.

But she must have that style, her old man reminded her, and she is also a director now, so she must have the style of a director.

She couldn't afford to embarrass the old man, so she pretended to enjoy the movie even though she clearly didn't understand it.

The agonizing hour and a half finally passed, the movie ended, and there was warm applause from the audience. Cheng Cheng had fallen asleep, and Liu Liu would soon be asleep too.

Only Xiaobai was clapping enthusiastically and took the opportunity to stretch himself.

The opening ceremony is over. In the next few days, there will be various screening sessions and film trading activities. The highlight is here.

This afternoon, the movie brought by Zhang Tan will be screened first, "Our Summer".

All the staff of Xiaohongma Film and Television came and were busy running around. As the director of this film, Zhang Tan naturally had to take the lead.

He didn't want Xiaobai and Liuliu to be too tired, so he asked them to sit down in their seats early.

Lucy, the organizer of the Berlin Film Festival, came, and with her were several of the people who had come to Pujiang to shoot the nomination short video for Xiaobai.

Jeffrey also came, and he brought several companions with him.

Although he was not very interested in "Our Summer", he was interested in Zhang Tan as a person and was very interested in cooperating with Xiaohongma Film and Television.

The influence of participating in the salon yesterday was reflected. Many people in the circle who I met at the salon last night came, including colleagues from North America, the Middle East, Northern Europe, and South America.

Zhang Tan saw that the director of the opening ceremony movie "Your Eyes" was also there.

Several people with Asian faces came over, both men and women. They spoke Japanese as soon as they opened their mouths and bowed before saying anything.

They are several people from the Japanese film industry.

What surprised Zhang Tan was that several groups of Japanese film people came one after another. He didn’t think that these people came to give him face, but they all came for "Our Summer".

Zhang Tan naturally welcomed it warmly, and he also hoped that "Our Summer" could sell for a good price in Japan.

Many Korean filmmakers also came.

The cinema was full, and Zhang Tan returned to his seat in the front row. A host was opening the show, arranged by the organizers of the film festival. Zhang Tan felt it was necessary, so he stayed.

After a brief opening, Zhang Tan was invited to the stage to speak.

Also present were Xiaobai, Liuliu, Yao Quan, Wan Kun and others.

The microphone was given to Zhang Tan. The host had already introduced him as the director.

When Zhang Tan stood in front of the stage, Xier, who was sitting below, became very anxious.

"Didn't Godfather prepare a speech? What did he say?"

Tan Jin'er comforted her and said, "Don't worry, your godfather is very capable, he doesn't need a speech script."

"Will he laugh?"

“He laughs a lot.”

"Does he speak English or our Chinese?"

"I think it should be English."

Xier suddenly said to the person beside her: "Dudu, please translate it."

Dudu: "...I don't speak English."

"Aren't you good at baby talk?"

Dudu laughs.

Zhang Tan in front of the stage was already speaking.

"Our Summer is a very simple movie. The protagonists of the movie are two little girls. They are very charming little actors. Although they are very young, they have already appeared in many movies and TV series, which is very remarkable. The story is very simple. The mother of the little girl Xiaobai disappeared and went to live a new life somewhere else. Summer vacation is here, and Xiaobai decided to go find her mother. On the way, she met another little girl Liuliu. She decided to accompany her to find her mother and protect her. But in fact, she herself is still a child who needs protection. During their journey, they met some interesting people and many things happened. They warmed each other and grew up with each other. When making this movie, the only purpose I had was to shoot something simple but interesting. I didn't think about what the audience would feel from it, but if the audience can really feel a little bit from it, we will be very happy..."

After Zhang Tan finished speaking and the applause stopped, the host smiled and said, "I'm sure everyone wants to hear what the two young actors have to say to us."

Zhang Tan squatted down and passed the microphone between Xiaobai and Liuliu.

"Xiao, Xiaobai, you say." Liuliu was a little nervous. She was a bit timid.

Xiaobai remembered what everyone told her before coming here, that she must not bring shame to the country and must bring glory to the Chinese nation!
So she read out the script that Xiwawa had prepared for them before they came, and said, "We are two veteran actors. Filming this movie was just like playing. It wasn't tiring at all. It was very relaxing. We finished filming while having fun..."

As she spoke, she looked at Zhang Tan.

She spoke Chinese and needed her husband to translate for her.

Zhang Tan translated: "Shooting this movie was not stressful at all. The atmosphere on the set was very relaxed. It really felt like a summer vacation..."

Xiaobai would utter one or two fierce words from time to time, fortunately Zhang Tan had to translate them, otherwise the meaning of the original words would have caused an uproar among everyone present.

So Zhang Tan translated all of them into another meaning.

Xiaobai was happy to speak, and everyone was happy to listen. They felt that although the child was young, his words were steady and to the point.

Only a few people who could understand both languages ​​knew how big the difference was between what Zhang Tan and Xiaobai said.

For example, Xiwawa was muttering that Xiaobai was talking nonsense and his godfather was translating nonsense.

"Liuli, you have something to say too. Don't be afraid, you coward. Are you afraid of foreigners when you go abroad?"
