As the scandal between Jiang Xiao and Liu Yifei began to ferment, although it did not have much impact on the filming of "The Condor", there was a lot of excitement outside.

Especially on the Internet, a lot of otakus jumped out and began to denounce him as the culprit who "took away" the fairy sister in various bars, which made people speechless.

With this wave of popularity, even though he himself had no intention of promoting it, more people knew his name.

It’s no wonder that using scandals to create hype is very popular in this circle. It’s really useful and can attract more attention than the less successful “Pink”.

In addition, many reporters came to Yandang Mountain, wanting to interview him and Liu Yifei.

It was the first time for Jiang Xiao to be "sought after" like this, and he was extremely annoyed.

It was fine during filming, and reporters couldn't get in, but when he returned to the hotel after work, he was frequently mobbed.

Even the microphone hit his face so quickly, it really made people want to hit him.

Faced with such a situation, Jiang Xiao had no choice but to keep a low profile. If there was a movie, he would film, and if there was no movie, he would stay in the hotel room and stay in seclusion. No, he wouldn't go out.

Even when Yang Mi joined the group again on Christmas Day, he deliberately kept a distance.

He was afraid of being photographed by reporters again. After all, there was a real situation between him and Da Mimi, although the latter didn't have much fame at the moment.

An interesting thing happened at Yandang Villa during this period, that is, a man came with more than ten people and beat up a male waiter, and even blood was seen.

However, the beaten waiter did not choose to call the police, and even prevented the hotel from also calling the police.

Such an abnormal situation naturally has an internal reason. It turned out that the male waiter gave the attacker a hat, and also took pictures and left evidence, so he had no choice but to let the attacker be beaten to make him feel better.

.

Naturally, the hotel was not willing to get involved in such a personal trouble, so they fired the male waiter on the spot and asked both parties to go outside to resolve the private dispute on their own.

Originally, Jiang Xiao could only listen to this matter as boring gossip.

But at that moment, he suddenly reacted and wondered whether the fact that he and Liu Yifei were photographed had something to do with the male waiter.

After all, the other party is interested in photography, has a camera, and can enter and leave the hotel at will with his identity, without anyone noticing anything strange, so he has the conditions to commit crimes over a long period of time.

Thinking about it again, the figure he spotted last time slipped away so fast. He was obviously someone who was extremely familiar with the hotel, so he could do all that better.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it became. Jiang Xiao almost ran to the hotel to ask for the surveillance camera in the corridor.

Just thinking that the guy had been fired, there seemed to be no need for him to pursue it further.

In addition, that guy brought it upon himself, and I'm afraid the final outcome won't be much better.

It should also be mentioned that the TV series "Yangmen Tiger General" was officially aired on December 14th and won the first place in the ratings and the first place in the ratings.

There is no extra champion here, and there is no contradiction, because one is the ratings champion of Xiangjiang and the other is the ratings champion of Wanwan, so there are only two champions.

Among them, Xiangjiang is broadcast on ATV, and it was the annual ratings champion in 2004.

It can be said that "Yangmen Tiger General" is really popular in Xiangjiang. Although the market is not big, with only a few million people, it is not as good as many individual cities in the mainland.

Then Wanwan's champion was actually the ratings champion in the second half of the year. He played some word games and forcibly took on the title of champion.

Of course, being able to win the ratings championship for half a year also proves that this drama is also very popular in Wanwan.

It doesn't seem to have much influence on him, even if it's not hot or not.

After all, he is just a supporting role, barely the third male lead, and he is still a newcomer, so naturally he does not attract much attention innately.

Moreover, he is a mainlander and a mainland actor. To put it bluntly, whether it is now or in the future, I have never heard of that mainland actor and star who is very popular in Xiangjiang and Wanwan.

There is no need to explain the reason, everyone knows it.

In these two places, apart from the local indigenous celebrities, one is Hahan and the other is Haori. Naturally, there is no situation like Hanei.

In fact, he never even participated in any promotional activities from beginning to end.

It's not that he doesn't have time because of filming, it's probably because his role isn't particularly important, plus he's famous.

So most of the time, it was Su Youpeng who took Cai Lin and Hu Jing out for promotions, and even Ti Long and Zhao Yazhi didn't show up.

The latter two are probably for the purpose of saving publicity funds.

Speaking of which, Jiang Xiao only knew these things because Hu Jing called him.

Otherwise, he, who stays in a relatively closed-off crew every day, wouldn't have known that "The Tigers of the Yang Family" had been aired if he didn't take the initiative to find out.

By the way, there is also the Mainland. This drama was aired half a month after Xiangjiang and Wanwan. The ratings were pretty good, but of course it had no chance of winning the championship.

As for the champion, it was "Genghis Khan" which cost RMB 60 million and starred Wu Yusheng's Guan Er Ge in "Red Cliff".

These days, spending 60 million to shoot a TV series is definitely a big deal, and "The Tigers of the Yang Family" might only be about one-fifth of that.

Putting all this aside, on January 10, 2005, the crew of "The Condor" left the Yandang Mountain Scenic Area and came to Xiangs Film and Television City further north.

In order to film "The Condor", Zhang Dabeard approached the local government and built a Xiangyang City together, which was considered a big deal.

In "The Condor", basically more than half of the scenes will be shot here.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is about to come in one month, Jiang Xiao guesses that just like last year, he will not be able to go home to celebrate the New Year.

He kind of wants to take a leave, but if no one else is going back, it doesn't seem very good for him to do so, and it seems a bit pretentious.

result……

Jiang Xiao still took a leave of absence, not to go home for the New Year, but to go abroad.

In two lifetimes combined, this was really the first time for him to go abroad.

No, before the New Year, he went back to his hometown, applied for a passport for himself, and called all his relatives and friends at home, so he celebrated the New Year half a month early.

After that, he continued to return to the crew for filming, until the 17th, February, when he finally got on a flight to Berlin, Germany.

As for the visa, there is no question of whether it will be refused, because he has an invitation letter from the Berlin International Film Festival.

And yes, he went to Germany just to participate in the film festival.

Two months later, almost two years later, "Peacock" finally received news. It has not changed much from what I remembered, and it was successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin International Film Festival.

The film festival actually opened on the 10th, but "Peacock" was scheduled to premiere on the 18th, and the rest of the crew had already flown from Beijing to Berlin on the 15th.

Because he had to film a movie and was not in the capital, he was two days late and would set off from the Magic City alone.

The reason why Jiang Xiao decided to go there was firstly to increase his knowledge and it was a rare opportunity without having to pay for it.

Furthermore, what if a ghost takes away the Best Actor?

Speaking of which, in "Peacock", he and Zhang Jingchu have the most scenes, and they still have the qualifications. Now it depends on whether the judges of the Berlin Film Festival are blind or not... Uh, no, I should say bright or not.

He thinks that his acting skills are still good, especially since there is a big bug like the scapegoat.

Therefore, it is not that there is no chance of winning awards and winning Best Actor.

…………

Almost fifteen hours later, Jiang Xiao finally appeared at Berlin Airport.

His flight was at six in the morning, a fifteen-hour flight. Logically speaking, he should arrive at nine in the evening, but there is something called "jet lag" in this world, and in addition, it is six hours faster in China than in Berlin.

So when he arrived in Berlin, the local time was actually only 15 o'clock in the afternoon on the 17th.

Regardless of this, thanks to the scapegoat, his proficient English can be put to use for the first time.

He didn't leave the airport hall. Carrying simple luggage, he queued for a while and got into a taxi.

Immediately, he spoke directly in English: "Excuse me, I'm going to xxx hotel."

As a result, the driver in front of him, a fat middle-aged white man, started talking to him in a bunch of incomprehensible words, which seemed to be in German. He didn't know what else to say, which made him confused x.

Maybe Jiang Xiao subconsciously thought that Westerners can speak English, but...

After thinking about it, he had an idea, so he had to stick his head out of the car window and loudly asked the foreigners who were just behind him: "Excuse me, is there anyone who can speak English? I want to go to xxx hotel, but

The driver doesn’t understand English, can you translate it for me?”

"I will, you are going to xxx hotel, right?"

"Yes, thank you for your help."

Soon, he saw a young man standing up to answer Jiang Xiao, and he quickly thanked him.

"You're welcome."

The young man didn't say anything. After a few words, he approached the driver's window and whispered in German.

After finishing, he looked again at the Asian man in the back seat who asked for help and said, "Okay, friend, I have told the driver the exact address. Welcome to Berlin. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised here. Bye!"

"I think so too, thank you!"

Seeing that the young man was quite enthusiastic, Jiang Xiao thanked him again.

In this way, the taxi quickly drove out of the airport.

He also admired the Berlin city street scene along the way through the car window. It was very European...it seemed like he was talking nonsense.

It’s rare to see high-rise buildings, and it has a strong sense of history. It’s completely different from the style of high-rise buildings in New York.

Although Jiang Xiao has never been to New York, he has long been seen in Hollywood blockbusters.

As for movies that focus on the city of Berlin, he has rarely seen them, and he may be more familiar with Paris.
