Chapter 720: Glorified

Each time a car stopped by the entrance to the red carpet, a few cameramen would always shift their eyes towards it . If it was an unfamiliar face, they'd ask the fellow cameramen who it was . If the others didn't know, then it was most likely a small name coming to mooch the red carpet and was not worth moving the camera for .
As the influence of Berlin Film Festival was gradually declining, more and more people were calling for changes . Fewer and fewer big named actors and actresses were willing to travel to Germany for the red carpet, so most people were just red carpet moochers .
One of the cameramen noticed Famous first and focused on it with their lens . They then focused on Zhang Zian, trying to figure out who was playing the leading role .
The experienced cameramen bowed their heads and discussed the dog in low voices . "Where did this dog come from?" they asked each other . "Did this young Asian bring it here?"
"Is he a celebrity? How could the committee allow a commonplace dog to step on the red carpet?"
"Is it the Dog Warrior?" they continued to ask .
"It is the Dog Warrior!"
A quick-minded person quickly thought of the film that was soon to be premiered and connected it with the German Shepherd on the red carpet . He immediately realized that this was a very significant moment––maybe this was the first time in history that an animal had ever stepped onto the red carpet at the Berlin Film Festival .
Lin Feng walked out of the car with a slightly rigid smile on his face . He repeated in his heart, I am the biggest Chinese celebrity and everybody's coming here for me .
He lifted his hand but didn't know which direction he should wave it . The film fans on both sides of the red carpet were screaming towards a few international superstars . Apparently not many people cared about him, the B-list actor from China .
According to the plans prepared by his personal assistant and agent company ahead of time, he was supposed to stay on the red carpet for at least 10 minutes .
How could he survive these ten, hard minutes? Did he pose for the cameramen? Very few cameramen were focusing on him .
Did he sign autographs for the fans? No fan seemed to know who he was .
In comparison, the red carpet at a Chinese film festival was much easier .
Maybe he had to use his plan B and stir up enough courage to greet the other A-list celebrities with his broken English in hopes that the cameramen might capture him in the same photos with the superstars––otherwise known as popularity mooching .
It would be quite embarrassing, but he had no other options . He had to keep up with the exposure in order to get more film invitations and commercials . He didn't want to be forgotten by this forgetful industry .
Being forgotten was fine with Feng Xuan . He was over 50 years old, after all, and fame was no longer a big deal to him . After waving around for the sake of it, he walked towards the entrance of Berlinale Palast at his natural pace .
Lin Feng identified a superstar signing autographs for the fans and he silently rehearsed some lines he prepared in advance in order to suck up . As he was about to walk over, he suddenly noticed that everybody was looking at him and all the cameras were focusing on him . The camera flashes were firing continuously and some cameramen even ran towards him to get a better angle . The look on his face was as if he really were the biggest Chinese celebrity!
Even the superstar that he was about to suck up to stared at him from a distance, unwilling to have all of the attention stolen by him .
The noisy fans suddenly quieted down . It was as silent as a pond before a thunderstorm .
Lin Feng's heart was pounding . Did he suddenly become an internationally recognized celebrity without even knowing it?
As all of his confidence came back . He lifted his hands fashionably and waved to the fans with the brightest smile he'd had since the start of his career .
However, the fans were still silent and did not respond to him .
This was awkward .
"Could you please step aside?" the closest cameraman waved at him sharply . "You are standing in front of the dog . "
