Chapter 222 First Meeting with the Imperial Advisor (Please Subscribe and Vote!!)

"Amos?"

Someone is calling Liu Jin.

Liu Jin turned his head, saw the person who had come, and immediately smiled.

"Ms. Huppert, what are you doing here?"

Two people walked towards him.

One of them, Liu Jin knew, was Isabelle Huppert.

He greeted her with a smile and gave her a cheek kiss.

"I came here with the crew of the 'Eight Beauties' series... Uh, you guy, you're so focused on writing, I also acted in 'Eight Beauties'."

What about you?

January was all about you in the news. I also read your book, *The Old Man and the Sea*, and it's wonderfully written!

"Thank you for your compliment, I'm here to escape."

"Escape?"

"Yes, Toulouse is full of reporters and paparazzi, so hiding in the school won't help."

A couple of days ago, I was in the restroom when a female reporter suddenly rushed out, scaring me so much I almost peed my pants… The principal was annoyed with me too and wouldn't let me go to class, saying it was disrupting teaching. I had no choice but to come over.”

Isabelle Huppert and the girl beside her both smiled.

"These are French journalists, you'll get used to them... Are you here to see Sophie?"

"Yes!"

"She's so busy these days, I don't even have a chance to have dinner with her."

By the way, let me introduce you. Virginie Ledoyen, one of the best French actresses in recent years, and also the actress in *8 Women*. Director Ozon isn't here right now, otherwise he would be very happy to see you. He absolutely loves your work…Ginny, Amos Liu Jin, a wonderful writer.”

Virginia Ledoyen is about 168 cm tall.

Her facial features resemble a ball of flowers.

She smiled and kissed Liu Jin on the cheek, then said with a smile, "I know you, Mr. Amos, I am your loyal reader."

I've seen Amélie, Father, and Childhood Sweethearts.

However, my favorite is your "Pirates of the Caribbean."

"Haha, that's a bit of a surprise to me."

"Freedom, Captain Sparrow's charismatic image, and his pursuit of freedom, it's all so wonderful!"

I think Leonardo DiCaprio would be absolutely perfect as Sparrow!

"Forehead……"

you sure?
In 2002, Jack was still a handsome young man.

Are you sure he can play Sparrow?

Although they are all Jack!
Isabelle Huppert laughed and said, "Don't be offended, she's a Leonardo fan. She worked with Leonardo in 'The Beach' back in '98... After that, she became a huge fan of Leonardo, and there's nothing I can do about it."

“Great, once I sign the cooperation agreement with Mr. Brunheimer, I can invite him to audition.”

"Really? Then I want to audition too!"

Virginie's girlish demeanor caused Liu Jin and Isabelle to burst into laughter.

……

As director Zhang Yimou stepped out of the elevator, he saw Dong Ju standing at the front desk.

Not far from her, an Asian man was talking to Isabelle Huppert. Judging from their relaxed and cheerful manner, they must be acquaintances.

"Dong Ju!"

"Director Zhang."

Upon seeing Zhang Yimou, Dong Ju breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to greet him.

Her collaboration with Zhang Yimou was in 2000, in the film "Happy Times".

This film has already been released in China. The main purpose of this trip is to participate in the exhibition and sell the film.

Zhang Yimou hadn't originally planned to bring her along.

But later, persuaded by her friends, she mustered up the courage to come over, just to broaden her horizons.

Zhang Yimou also felt helpless about this.

It's just selling movies!

To be honest, he didn't want to make a big fuss.

But since the actors are already here, let them come.

Perfect, I can participate in the promotion.

"How did you get here? Where's the person who just made the phone call?"

Dong Ju pointed to Liu Jin, who was talking to Isabelle Huppert, and then whispered, "Director Zhang, his girlfriend is also an actress, but not from China."

"Oh?"

Director Zhang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and walked towards Liu Jin.

"Hello, Ms. Huppert!"

He said to Huppert.

Although it was spoken in Mandarin, which Isabelle didn't understand, she could still comprehend it.

So he smiled and said, "Director Zhang, it's been a long time! I didn't expect to meet you again in Berlin!"

How to do how to do?
Director Zhang was a bit flustered; he couldn't understand it and didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Liu Jin smiled and said, "Director Zhang, Ms. Isabelle is saying that she is very happy to meet you again in Berlin."

"Me too, me too!"

Director Zhang immediately replied politely.

Liu Jin then acted as the translator, explaining things to Huppert.

The two were acquaintances.

I've seen it many times before at the three major European countries.

To be honest, we didn't have a very deep relationship, so it was all just ordinary small talk.

"Amos, I'm leaving now. Let's have dinner together later... Um, no Sophie, just you."

Sophie Marceau was a judge, and it wasn't convenient for her to have much contact with Isabelle before the closing ceremony.

Now that we have Liu Jin's way, things are much more convenient!
Liu Jin smiled and agreed, then saw Isabelle and Virginie off.

"Thank you very much, I haven't asked you for advice yet..." "Director Zhang, let's not be so polite, we're all compatriots, it's normal."

"By the way, may I take a photo with you? My parents both love your movies, I can brag to them about it."

The Imperial Advisor had a face full of bitterness and resentment, and looked rather cold.

But in private, he was still a very polite person, and immediately asked Dong Ju to come over.

Liu Jin then took out his camera from his backpack and asked her to take a group photo.

"Are you acquainted with Ms. Isabelle Huppert?"

"It's alright, we've had a few meals together, and our relationship is okay."

"I haven't had the chance to ask yet, are you also in the film and television industry?"

"No, no, no, I'm a writer, but I'm fairly familiar with the film and television industry."

"writer?"

“My pen name is Amos. My works are mainly published in Europe and America and are not distributed in China, so you may not know that.”

"I see... Thank you for bringing the oranges over."

"You're too kind!"

Liu Jin said with a smile, "You're busy with work, so I won't keep you any longer... Anyway, I'll be here recently, so we'll have another chance to chat later."

"Okay, let's talk about it later."

Liu Jin said goodbye, waved to Dong Ju, and headed towards the elevator.

"Hey, Amos?"

Just as he was about to reach the elevator, someone called his name again.

Turning around, he saw a woman who was not unfamiliar to Liu Jin walking towards him.

"Hello, I am Emmanuelle Béart!"

“I know you. I’ve seen the movie ‘Angels Among Us’ starring you.”

Emmanuelle Béart, another French rose, is just as famous as Sophie Marceau.

Upon hearing this, she immediately smiled.

"Amos, if you put it that way, I really feel old!"

Angels Among Us is a work by Emmanuel from 1987.

At the time, she was twenty-four years old, in the prime of her life.

Liu Jin still remembers the breathtaking beauty of the angel spreading its snow-white wings.

The second female lead in "Angels on Earth" is Phoebe Katz, an actress with Eastern charm and heritage, and a beauty. However, Liu Jin's attention was focused on Emmanuel back then, so he didn't pay much attention to the villainous female lead.

He only learned about this person in 2025, before his rebirth.

Well, that's all beside the point!
Liu Jin hugged Emmanuel and said with a smile, "I have been looking forward to meeting you ever since I came to France."

"Olala, I don't believe it, otherwise how could you be with Sophie?"

"Well, you live such a secluded life, I never had the chance to get to know you."

"Even though you didn't really mean it, I'm still very happy... By the way, could you sign an autograph for me? I'm one of your readers."

As she spoke, she took two books out of her bag.

One book, Amélie; another, The Old Man and the Sea.

Liu Jin didn't stand on ceremony and signed the book with a smile.

"Alright, I won't disturb your time alone with Sophie any longer. Let's have dinner together sometime."

"We are ready to answer your call at any time."

Liu Jin imitated a knight's salute, which made Emmanuel laugh again.

He then entered the elevator.

……

"What did he just say was his pen name?"

"Amos, that seems to be the name."

Director Zhang witnessed Liu Jin and Emmanuelle's encounter.

Recalling his previous interactions with Isabelle Huppert, Director Zhang keenly realized that Liu Jin's status in France must be quite high.

He just said that he knows some people in the film and television industry.

But now it seems very familiar.

This also aroused Director Zhang's curiosity.

After helping Dong Ju check in, he returned to his room.

There was a guest in the room, a small cannon.

His relationship with Little Cannon... well, it's just so-so.

To be honest, we didn't have much interaction; we were just nodding acquaintances.

The little cannon is also exhibiting in Berlin this time.

His film "Big Shot's Funeral" was selected, but to be honest, Director Zhang is not optimistic about the film winning an award.

But they are all from China, and Xiao Gangpao has the support of China Film Group, so they interact frequently.

"Director Zhang, why did you take so long?"

"Um, I chatted with the person who helped Dong Ju for a few minutes."

"From China? Who is that?"

"I don't know. Judging from the accent, he's from China, but I feel... he's a writer who publishes in Europe and America, and his name is Amos."

Director Zhang laughed and said, "It seems he's quite familiar with people in the French film and television industry."

Both Isabelle Huppert and Emmanuel spoke to him, and he even signed an autograph for Emmanuel. I feel that if there's an opportunity, it might be worthwhile to get to know him.

"what is it call?"

Little Steel Cannon didn't pay any attention at first.

But when he heard Director Zhang say his name, he immediately sat up straight.

"Amos, is your surname Liu?"
