Early in the morning, even though the weather has not yet cleared, Potsdamer Platz is already bustling with people.

The double-decker buses bring in groups of enthusiastic tourists, many of whom come early to line up to buy their favorite movie tickets, many of them with their dogs, and more than one person who feeds them hot dogs, burgers or Turkish barbecue.

How much do Germans love dogs?

If you pull a middle-aged man on the street and ask him how many children he has, he will probably answer three in a serious manner: an 8-year-old boy, a 6-year-old girl, and a 2-year-old dog......

If you see a housewife walking with a stroller on the street, and the baby is sitting in the stroller with a pacifier in her mouth, and she is holding a dog at the same time, the correct way to greet is to praise the dog for being cute, not for the baby's cuteness or her beauty......

When the person with the dog is tired, he rests on the bench on the side of the road, eats a few bites of the food they bring with them or buys the food they buy at the snack car, and feeds the dog a few bites, his expression is full of doting, and he really treats the dog as if it were his own child.

Every dog, whether purebred or non-purebred, is all neatly haired, in good spirits, and at first glance it is usually well cared for.

Occasionally, you can see some large fierce dogs on the streets, and there are people like Pitbulls, but these dogs all wear muzzles to prevent them from biting.

Zhang Zi'an did the same, squatted down, and fed the Turkish barbecue and curry sausage in paper bags to Pegasus with his right hand.

He paid attention to it for a while, and found an interesting phenomenon, that is, there are very few stray cats on the street, and stray dogs do not exist at all, and every dog he saw was led by the owner with a rope, and the owner would definitely carry a paper bag with him, picking up dog poop as he walked.

The young Turkish chef had no other guests for the time being, and also made himself a barbecue sandwich cake, squatting next to Zhang Zi'an, watching him feed Feimas.

Zhang Zi'an himself also took a bite of the barbecue sandwich cake, the burrito was soft and crispy, the barbecue was fragrant, and the coolness of the sauce and salad just brought out the taste of the barbecue, which made people appetize.

"It's great, it's delicious!" he said, thumbs up in English.

"Thank you. The Turkish chef smiled proudly, "Are you also here for the festival?"

"Sort of. Zhang Zi'an responded casually.

"Chinese?Korean?" the cook asked curiously, staring at his black hair and yellow skin.

"Chinese. Zhang Zi'an replied.

"Oh, Chinese, with all due respect, then you shouldn't eat dog meat, right?" the chef asked worriedly, staring at Feimas again.

“...... Don't eat. ”

Zhang Zi'an almost choked, why did this person think that he was holding Pemmas to eat fresh dog meat?

However, it is normal to have this kind of question, because Germans like dogs very much, and Chinese students are often asked this question after arriving in Germany.

At the same time, he also secretly screamed a fluke in his heart, and insisted on attaching a sentence at the end of "War Dog" "All the animals appearing in this film have been properly placed" This move should be the right move, otherwise the Germans, who like dogs very much, will definitely have doubts, let alone win the award, and even whether they can be selected for the main competition unit is a problem.

The chef's expression relaxed, "Oh, that's great, did you get the movie ticket you want?"

"Not yet. ”

"Then you have to hurry. The Turkish chef ate his barbecue pancakes in two bites, "I have to leave work early today, and I will also go to the queue to buy tickets." ”

His eyes sparkled as he spoke, and he was clearly not only a skilled chef, but also an avid movie lover who would rather give up a great opportunity to do business and buy tickets for his dreams.

The people gathered here today, men and women, young and old, have a dream of cinema in their hearts.

Zhang Zi'an and Feimas also finished eating the barbecue and curry sausage, their mouths were full, shook hands with him as a farewell, and said vaguely: "Good luck." ”

Having eaten his stomach and the fatigue caused by the jet lag was greatly eliminated, he glanced at Fina, who was still salivating at the rotating barbecue column, and whispered, "Let's go, go and see somewhere else." ”

As is customary for the Berlinale, the opening ceremony took place at the Sony Center on Potsdamer Platz, a grand building with plenty of tempered glass and rows of poplar trees planted at the entrance. It's a pity that it's winter, and the poplars are all bare, without a single leaf.

There are still a few hours to go before the opening, but perhaps due to the threat of the recent wave of terrorist activity in Europe, traffic control and security checks have been started early on the streets near the Sony Center, with a red curtain and a stainless steel fence separating the middle of the road, which is the only passage for celebrities and guests.

Zhang Zi'an also saw the legendary red carpet, but he was slightly disappointed that the red carpet was much smaller than he imagined, maybe twenty or thirty meters long from beginning to end, and it could be completed in a few steps.

At the entrance of the Sony Center stands a life-size model of the Berlin bear mascot, which is very cute and cute, and many tourists and passers-by are taking pictures with the mascot.

Zhang Zi'an pondered that he couldn't go back empty-handed when he came to Berlin this time, Long Xian specially asked him to bring gifts, and Xiaoxue sent fresh crucian carp for several days during the Spring Festival, and this favor has not been returned.

Young girls should like dolls a lot, go to the souvenir store and buy a few limited edition Berlin bear dolls for this film festival, you should be able to get your hands on them, and it probably won't be very expensive.

But there is no need to rush this matter for the time being, you can buy it before you return, and the top priority now is to go to the local pet store and buy a few sets of food and water basins for Fina and Pegas, etc., this matter cannot be delayed. Even ordinary cats and dogs don't want to share the same food and water bowl with their own kind, let alone their proud elves.

Zhang Zi'an grabbed a few pedestrians who were also holding dogs, and asked Richard to ask them in German if there was a pet store nearby, and someone pointed him in the direction, saying that there was a very famous pet store there, and he was very enthusiastic to take him there.

He was refreshed when he heard this, since it was a famous pet store, it must have its own uniqueness, but politely declined the invitation to lead the way, and he was not a three-year-old child, so it was impossible to even find a pet store.

As the saying goes, it is necessary to take advantage of this opportunity to learn the advanced experience of foreign pet stores and see how foreign counterparts operate pet stores.
