I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 262 Two Fools Make a Scene at Cannes

The program booklet published on May 16th gave "Amélie" extremely high praise.

This novel, which was first published in 2000, has faced numerous controversies from the very beginning…

Today, this novel sold three million copies in France in just one and a half years. Although it has not won any awards, it is a household name.

The movie has finally been released.

Isabelle Adjani, the national goddess whose previous work was a complete flop, is directing again.

Everyone knew that if she failed again, she would have to say goodbye to her career as a director for good.

Although Pierre Jeunet helped this time.

However, there were still many doubts before the movie was released.

Now, the time has come for the fruit to ripen and fall; the result has finally been achieved.

……

Even Polanski said it was an outstanding work.

The event program received a score of 3.2, which is considered high.

However, what should have been the highlight of the "Angel" crew was overshadowed by two idiots.

The next day, in addition to reporting on the grand opening ceremony and the premiere of "Angel", major French newspapers also reported another piece of news.

Famous French writer of Chinese descent Amos and famous actor Leonardo DiCaprio caused a disturbance on a Cannes beach.

The most alarming headline was: Gunfire continues, Cannes becomes a battlefield.

Several photos are attached below.

Liu Jin had one arm in a cast, was carrying a huge water gun in the other hand, wore sunglasses, and had a cigarette in his mouth.

A cold, indifferent expression!
His hair was wet and he looked disheveled.

In another photo, Leonardo is holding a water gun in one hand, his sunglasses askew.

He laughed wildly, looking up at the sky, and ran on the beach!

Behind him, Liu Jin was holding the water gun in one hand and splashing water wildly.

The third photo shows a bustling beach.

Countless tourists, armed with water guns, sprayed each other, creating chaos.

This was supposed to be the highlight of "Angel", but two idiots stole the show.

As it turns out, Emily ultimately lost to her father...

Double entendre.

In the movie, Emily defeats her father.

In reality, the angel was overshadowed by her unreliable creator.

"How did he end up hanging out with Leonardo DiCaprio?"

Mela held the newspaper and looked at Ottilie with a puzzled expression.

Ottilie, on the other hand, laughed like a madwoman.

"I knew it. These two playboys together were bound to cause trouble."

She explained to Mela how Liu Jin and Xiao Li Zi met.

After a long silence, Mela couldn't help but burst into laughter like a madwoman.

……

Poor Adjani!

The reporter interviewed Emmanuelle Béart, who was in Cannes.

Holding a copy of Le Figaro, when a reporter asked her what she thought about Liu Jin and Leonardo sneaking off to the beach to play with water guns, she just laughed and expressed her sympathy to Isabelle Adjani.

"Two unreliable bastards!"

Adjani was both amused and exasperated.

"I thought Amos was a steady man, but it turns out... he must have been corrupted by Leonardo."

In my memory, Leonardo DiCaprio has always been very polite.

This incident shouldn't be blamed on him; it was that Chinese person who started it!
-
Sharon Stone

"It has nothing to do with Amos, it's my problem."

I was the one who pulled him away, but that bastard tried to lure me away with a water gun.

I don't know why, it's just...it's my fault! Ms. Adjani, please don't blame Amos, even though he's a jerk."

Sharon Stone just criticized Liu Jin.

Leonardo DiCaprio then shared his opinion.

The two guys' unreliable behavior only added fuel to the already heated Cannes Film Festival.

Anyway, Jacob was very happy!

Because of Liu Jin and Leonardo DiCaprio, Cannes has received more attention.

On the same day, Warner Bros., DreamWorks, and Bluheimer Studios announced their collaboration with Liu Jin on "Pirates of the Caribbean".

On the same day, Random House released "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," as well as "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "Life Is Beautiful."

This also made Amos's name particularly well-known in America.

Leonardo DiCaprio is a celebrity who attracts a lot of attention.

Liu Jin is now involved with him.

That's not all; the $23 million adaptation fee, breaking J.K. Rowling's previous record of $18 million, shocked countless people.

"Is this my uncle?"

In the small building of the Zhongzhou Cadre Sanatorium in China, Qianqian looked at the photos on the webpage and let out a scream.

The frightened Liu Dasheng and his wife, as well as Liu Jin's sister, all rushed up.

"How did my uncle end up hanging out with Jack? Ahhhhh... Grandma, call my uncle, I want Jack's autographed photo."

"What do you mean by quenching thirst or not?"

Liu Dasheng asked in confusion

"It's Jack, the Jack from Titanic... Holy crap, my brother's amazing." Qianqian was pushed away from the computer.

The whole family gathered around the computer, pointing and commenting.

"You know what, my brother really looks like a respectable person now."

"Why are you talking about my son... Hehe, my son is really handsome."

Apart from his older sister and Qianqian, Liu Dasheng and his wife didn't care at all who Leonardo was.

"Where is this news from? Why is it all in foreign languages?"

"Grandpa, this is a news article uploaded by a French exchange student. He said it's a newspaper that just came out today."

More details follow.

Guys, this is big news!

Do you know Amos? The author of "The Old Man and the Sea" attended the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival yesterday and walked the red carpet with Leonardo DiCaprio.

This guy is really something. It's one thing to have scandals with Sophie Marceau and the like, but this time he openly brought two supermodels with him... (see picture above)

A series of photos of Liu Jin on the Cannes red carpet.

"What happened to Xiao Jin's arm? Why is it in a cast? Didn't he say he was fine?"

"Mom, don't worry, it's probably just a minor injury. Otherwise, how could he walk the red carpet?"

"So what if you walk the red carpet? Is it that impressive? What film festival is this? I've never heard of it."

"Chen Kaige, do you know him? He's the director of 'Farewell My Concubine,' and he won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival."

"No, who is Sophie Marceau?"

"A French movie star."

Liu Dasheng sat down in front of the computer, ignoring his mother and older sister's conversation.

He dragged the mouse down.

I know this guy; he's a really awesome writer.

I'm studying at the University of Lille, and I've heard of him... Last year, his book, *The Father Trapped in Time*, topped the French bestseller list—it was the number one book of the year. This year, France released *The Old Man and the Sea*, which has been at number one for 23 consecutive weeks. And the top three bestsellers are all his works—he's incredibly awesome.

I am a medical master's student at Toulouse University.

This guy has more than just that; I heard he's pretty awesome in America too.

The most incredible thing is that he single-handedly took on the entire "Little Sunshine" (a derogatory term for a group of people). The "Little Sunshine" threatened him, smashed his windows, and even sent him a death notice... My classmate's younger brother, who attends his school, said that the "Little Sunshine" had someone send him bullets.

A while ago, Xiao Rizi hired someone to attack him.

The cast on this guy's arm is probably from that injury.

Right now, all of France is criticizing the little life... Also, this guy is really multi-talented, he's a great writer and his comics are amazing.

Naruto had held the championship in France for so long, but he managed to knock it off the throne.

His current serialized "Death Note" is really amazing!

Further down are the domestic comments.

· No, someone this amazing, why is there no activity about him in China?
Yes, his books are so amazing, why aren't they published in China?

Who knows? He spoke up for Mr. Zhang and stood up to the Japanese, but no one in China said a word.

Hey, I remember who he is.

I remember reading in that newspaper before that someone criticized him, saying he fabricated history and undermined friendships... Wow, is he really that amazing?

Whether his books are good or not, I don't know.

I don't like reading.

But this guy's rumored relationships... Sophie Marceau, Heidi Klum, Alizee, and now two more supermodels.

The guy next to Leonardo DiCaprio has nothing to do with him.

Maybe they're just friends?
Oh, look how jealous you are.

Look at that supermodel next to him, that look in her eyes... Friend? I absolutely don't believe it.

Holy crap, Adriana Lima, this is Adriana Lima.

I'm not going to say anything more, here's the picture.

Victoria's Secret Angels...

At that time, most people in China did not know what Victoria's Secret Angels were.

The following series of pictures made a group of people scream.

“Dad, you know my brother is young and just likes to play…”

Liu Dasheng's face was very ugly.

My older sister was a little worried and quickly tried to comfort me.

Liu Dasheng gritted his teeth and stood up with a dark face.

"Fuck those damn Japanese devils!"

The old man roared and turned to walk out.

Not long after, Liu Dasheng's voice came from downstairs: "Old Chief, I don't care how much I suffer, I'll just stay like this!"
My son is bringing glory to our country while he's abroad, single-handedly fighting against the Japanese invaders and the entire nation.

What are those bastards doing in China?
In the past, this would have been considered treason, a betrayal of the country!

His voice was very loud; the people upstairs could hear it clearly.

My mother glanced at my older sister and said fiercely, "That Sophie Marceau is older than you, how could he do that?"

"Hey, Mom... what do you mean by that? Are you saying I'm old?"

Anyway, I don't approve of his relationship with Sophie Marceau.

You call Lao Deng and tell him to speed things up, I need to go to France... What the hell is that brat doing abroad?

"Those three girls in the videotape were so nice, why did you find a woman who's too old for your age?"

My older sister rolled her eyes.

Would you call this an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire...?
