I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 238 A Beautiful Life, Exposed!

The weather in Toulouse has been getting better and better since April.

Temperatures are generally above 20 degrees Celsius, with occasional light rain to cool down the slightly hot weather.

Overall, it's very comfortable!
The Old Man and the Sea, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo are still going strong, seemingly poised to sweep the French book market.

Many publishers are lamenting!
But there is nothing to do.

That's how the book market works: good is good, and popular is popular.

At the same time, Singer Publishing released two more pieces of information.

Amos's new works, "Identity" (French version) and "Silenced" (the Crucible), his first heartfelt works focusing on deaf-mute people, will be released at the end of April and the beginning of June, respectively.

The already booming book market is now boiling over again!
The reason is simple: this is another area that Liu Jin has never ventured into before.

"Identity" is one thing, but overall it belongs to the suspense genre.

There was "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" before, so it's not surprising.

The only selling point is that the novel has been adapted into a film by David Lynch, the Best Director at the previous Cannes Film Festival, and filming officially wrapped on April 8th. It is expected to be released in the second half of the year and will participate in the Venice Film Festival.

Amos's reputation is already very high!

Add to that a Cannes Film Festival Best Director award, and the appeal is off the charts.

At this time, the Cannes Film Festival organizing committee announced the list of juries for the 55th Cannes Film Festival.

The chairman of the jury was none other than David Lynch.

The film "Amélie," adapted from Amos's novel and co-directed by Isabelle Adjani and Jean-Pierre Jeunet, was successfully selected for the main competition of this year's film festival and became the opening film.

The whole of France seemed to have become sweltering.

This novel is Amos's most famous work.

Since its inception, it has been the subject of constant controversy.

But this work has already sold over 5.12 million copies worldwide, a remarkable achievement.

Now, the movie of the same name is finally going to be released!
Almost on the same day the organizing committee released the news, Penguin Random House in America also released a message.

The English versions of three books, "Amélie," "The Father Trapped in Time," and "Love Me If You Dare," will be released simultaneously in English-speaking countries around the world.

Countries including America, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.

Meanwhile, with the support of Random House, the Japanese version has also entered the everyday consumer market...

For a time, the limelight was overwhelming.

Le Monde featured a report on its second page, on its front page.

Pirates of the Caribbean in January, The Old Man and the Sea.

A beautiful life in February.

The girl with the dragon tattoo in March.

Fatal ID in April.

The furnace at the end of May and beginning of June...

God, just how much talent did you bestow upon that Chinese man?

Why not give it to your people?
This year is the French Year of Chinese Culture.

No, I think it's more like the 'Year of Amos'!
I pray to God that he will stop publishing in the second half of the year, otherwise the whole of 2002, the whole of France, and even the whole world, will be shrouded in the shadow of this damned devil.

French writers, you must strive harder!

I don't want to see Amos Liu's name appear in the top ten of the year-end bestseller list.

……

After this article was published, people suddenly realized a terrible problem.

Amos, will he really turn 2002 into the year of Amos?

Actually, I'm kind of looking forward to it. I buy about thirty books a year, and I wonder if he can really empty my pockets. (A concerned citizen of Paris)

That's great! I think this will stimulate the creative desire of French writers.

Moreover, his books are really good!
The themes are also very diverse, and I find it hard to believe that these works could be created by one person.

Keep it up, Amos! (A university student in Paris)
He can't possibly write another novel about religious theology, can he? If he could, I'd call him an unwritten god. (Master of Philosophy, Sorbonne University)
Amos is very talented, but I don't believe he can write a historical novel about France. (Professor of History, Grenoble Alpes University)

What are the French doing? What are French writers doing? (Member of the French right-wing ZD Democracy LM)

I've recently been reading a manuscript, a manuscript by Amos, which was given to me by Sylvie.

I don't know how to express my feelings right now. I just want to say that if the stories in novels are true, then everyone, everyone in the novels, deserves to die! That's too cruel. How can such a nation exist? (Famous writer: Milan Kundera)
Liu Jin realized that he had truly become famous!
Overnight, it seemed like everyone was talking about him and his work.

But as a result, he became increasingly low-key.

I attend classes diligently, focus on completing my assignments, and at the same time draw comics and write novels... Every week I go to Abel Boxing Gym to practice fighting and boxing, or ride my bike to walk the dog, or sit alone in front of a small roadside cafe, lost in thought!

In Mela's words: At this time, Liu Jin should not do anything.

Just live a normal life and continue writing normally. He's already popular enough!

If it continues to be so popular, it might backfire.

Liu Jin wholeheartedly agreed.

"A beautiful life has been discovered!"

"what?"

"Last week, sales of Life Is Beautiful exceeded 200,000 copies."

"hiss!"

“I don’t know what will happen next, but you have to be careful. Once those who bought your work have read it, I’m sure Xiao Rizi will react. In fact, there are already some signs.”

"What's the sign?"

Have you heard of JICA?

"what is that?"

"The full name is the Japan International Cooperation Agency, which is under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan."

Someone from their office in France called me to ask about "Life Is Beautiful," and I brushed them off.

"I hope the publishing house won't be affected."

"Not yet... I guess Xiao Rizi hasn't done an assessment yet, so I'm just asking."

Mela said with some worry, "And even if they find out, they can't do anything to me."

However, since they can't do anything to Singra, they'll definitely turn their attention to you. You'd better be prepared.

"I know!"

"In addition, I used my connections to give this book to Blumenthal."

But I'm not sure if he's even seen it... Anyway, it's been two months, and his foundation hasn't responded.

"No rush, just wait."

Liu Jin comforted Mela over the phone.

He could tell that Mela was a little anxious.

We've already come this far, so worrying is pointless.

Originally, the hope was to stall for time in order to gain a response from Blumenthal.

But no response came, yet the work itself was exposed!

I believe that Xiao Rizi will respond soon.

After all, their prime minister is a hardline right-wing figure.

Moreover, he set a precedent by having a large number of people visit toilets every August since he came to power.

But so what?
He is different from Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang is an American citizen, so it is not appropriate for China to comment on him too much.

America didn't care how many Chinese people were killed in World War II, so most of the time, Mr. Zhang was isolated and helpless.

And he...

At least his father has some influence in the country.

As for France, as long as he continues to be highly productive and creates one excellent work after another, life won't stop him.

Moreover, he's very rich now!
He has enough money to weather the storm.

The question now is whether "Life Is Beautiful" can evoke emotion in the victims.

If they are willing to speak out, all the problems and all the pressure will be resolved...

Twenty years later, Little Days and America are staunch allies.

Now it's 2002, will America still firmly support them?

Or rather, those victims...

Liu Jin didn't think much of the victims' conscience, let alone their character.

I just hope they can see the benefits.

At this stage of life, it's still about fat, very attractive fat.

Their industries, especially high-tech industries, have always been coveted by the victims.

However, given the nature of Xiao Rizi's relationship with America, the victim couldn't openly carry out her actions.

But if, if they had the opportunity to infiltrate the core industries of Xiaori's life...

Liu Jin believed that the victims would not show any mercy!
This is the outcome he most hoped for!
