I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 283 Departure, Grysan!

Leslie Cheung was not happy in Hong Kong.

In fact, the pressure is immense.

The Hong Kong media are using his relationship with Mr. Tong as a gimmick, following him almost 24/7.

The only people in the world as disgusting as the paparazzi from Hong Kong Island are the reporters from The Sun.

One can imagine how Leslie Cheung must have felt in that environment.

The entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island is even more disgusting.

Those celebrities, outwardly impeccably dressed, secretly make fun of his affairs.

In 1997, Happy Together was released.

During the filming of the movie, Leslie Cheung took great care of someone who seemed bored and flew to London to feed pigeons. However, at the 1998 Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony, the host made a very malicious joke about Leslie Cheung's sexual orientation.

Liang Gezi never stood up from beginning to end; in fact, she even participated in it.

My brother's sexual orientation is a problem.

But he never hurt anyone.

Mr. Tang stayed by his side during his most helpless time.

After his comeback, he earned in just a few years what most people in Hong Kong could not earn, making a comeback that aroused envy and resentment among countless people.

So if you count on your fingers, he actually doesn't have many friends.

……

Fortunately, he heeded Liu Jin's advice and sought treatment from a psychologist after returning to Hong Kong.

only……

The psychiatrist, however, secretly spread the news of his depression.

The Hong Kong media, as if injected with stimulants, launched a new round of attacks, even resorting to spreading rumors and smearing.

At the beginning of the month, just a few days ago.

My brother and Mr. Tang were shopping when they were followed by paparazzi.

Then he asked a lot of embarrassing questions.

Mr. Tang was about to get angry, but his brother stopped him.

Then the older brother took Mr. Tang's hand and walked away, showing his disdain and contempt for the paparazzi.

His attitude angered the media.

They launched an even more unscrupulous encirclement and suppression campaign.

It was under these circumstances that he left Hong Kong Island after being persuaded by Anita Mui and others.

"Leslie, go and clear your head. Come back when things have calmed down."

"Yes, you can't beat them!"
"As long as you're on Hong Kong Island, those guys will only get more and more outrageous."

Maggie called him and advised him, "Amos was right when we were in Berlin this year: Hong Kong Island is too small, and the people of Hong Kong Island only have a limited perspective on their own little corner of the world. If you stay here, you will feel very depressed."

Leave Hong Kong Island, whether you go to the mainland or abroad.

Whether you want to relax or settle down, going out and exploring will make you realize how vast the world is, and it will broaden your horizons. Do you know why I don't like staying on Hong Kong Island? It's because I feel suffocated…”

Mei Gu also advised him, "Go out for a walk and avoid the limelight."

After I finish recording "with" in a while, I'll come find you, and we can go out and relax together, okay?

It was under these circumstances that the older brother made his decision.

But instead of going to the mainland, he thought of France.

Liu Jin had invited him during the Berlin Film Festival, and he wanted to take this opportunity to discuss "Life Is Beautiful" with Liu Jin.

This is a subject he has never touched before.

The novel's theme, 'hope,' is precisely what he desires most now.

"If you had come any later, you wouldn't have been able to find me."

After picking up his brother, Liu Jin took him home, laughing on the way: "But you're fucking lucky. I just booked a villa in Grüsang, Lion Bay. Have you ever seen a colorful lake? Let's admire it together."

It's beautiful over there!

Leslie Cheung immediately became very interested.

Xu Songsheng was his bodyguard.

You may not recognize the name, but if you watched Leslie Cheung's funeral, you will definitely remember the man who ran alongside the hearse.

That was Xu Songsheng, who was also Leslie Cheung's personal bodyguard.

Xu Songsheng insisted on accompanying Leslie Cheung on his trip to Europe.

For no other reason than worrying about something happening to Leslie Cheung.

……

The old lady really liked Leslie Cheung.

This kind of liking is not the kind of liking that fans have for their idols.

I would say I like it, but perhaps 'appreciate' would be a more appropriate word.

Liu Jin remembered very clearly that after Leslie Cheung passed away in his previous life, the old lady mentioned him on April 1st.

For a woman in her sixties to act this way shows that she truly appreciates it.

Leslie Cheung and Xu Songsheng sat down in the living room.

A moment later, Qianqian came out of the house.

She was dressed appropriately, carrying a notebook, and walked over somewhat excitedly.

"Brother, I'm your fan, can I get your autograph?"

"of course can!"

My brother has always had a good attitude towards his fans.

Not to mention, there's also the connection with Liu Jin.

"But I heard from your uncle that your favorite person is Xie Tingfeng, Nicholas."

Qianqian immediately bristled, angrily rebuking Liu Jin: "Uncle, how can you be like this? When did I ever say I liked Xie Tingfeng? Brother, don't listen to my uncle's nonsense, who is Nicholas?"

Leslie Cheung couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Then Liu Jin introduced him to Alizee.

"I know the singer of the BD."

"Hello!"

Alizee genuinely didn't know who Leslie Cheung was.

However, after hearing Liu Jin's introduction that he was a king-level figure in the Chinese music scene, she immediately became interested.

That evening, Liu Jin led everyone to Old Zhong's courtyard.

Surprisingly, Old Zhong, that big, burly guy, was also a fan of Leslie Cheung.

This made Leslie Cheung very happy.

After dinner, Liu Jin drove them to the hotel.

"Will it be a bother if I go on vacation with your family?"

"If you don't come with me, where can you go? Maggie isn't in France, is she? Are you planning to go wandering the streets?"

Liu Jin smiled and said, "It's settled then. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

"Get some rest tonight. We can talk about anything else when we get to Gryzan..."

Leslie Cheung didn't hesitate any longer and agreed with a smile.

……

When I got home, it was already very late.

Liu Jin discovered that Qianqian and Alizee were sitting in the living room, their laptops connected to the internet, and browsing the web.

"What are you doing?"

"Alizee is helping me register a Scripting News account."

"Scripting News?"

Liu Jin was taken aback. "What is that?"

Alizee looked up and said, "It's a personal news publishing platform, similar to a personal account. You can publish news or share your personal life. When the 9/11 attacks happened last year, they were the first to publish and spread the news."

Isn't that just a blog?

Liu Jin was stunned.

In his past life, he didn't care about these things.

He only knows Twitter, Facebook, and Sina Blog...

Has a blog already appeared?
He leaned closer and took a closer look.

It was very different from the blog he remembered.

However, many characteristics of future blogs have already emerged.

Liu Jin scratched his head, immediately losing interest.

He never considered entering these industries, mainly because he didn't have the skills.

For example, he knows perfectly well that Tencent will be incredibly successful in the future. But even if he wanted to invest, would Pony Ma (Ma Huateng, founder of Tencent) really accept?
When Pony Ma accepts investment, it's not just about the money; he also needs the channels and influence behind the investment.

Liu Jin is rich, but others may not be interested in him.

Actually, it's that simple!
Moreover, after his rebirth, he made up his mind to never go into business, never speculate in stocks, and never touch finance...

Well, buying Apple stock is a different matter altogether.

He plans to hold the shares long-term, sell them before the situation becomes uncontrollable, and then return to China to retire.

That's it, a very simple idea!

"Go to sleep early, we need to get up early tomorrow morning to leave."

"understood!"

Qianqian replied impatiently.

Then, stammering in French, he said, "Can you stand my uncle's endless chatter?"

"It's great, why refuse?"

"It's so annoying!"

Liu Jin had already reached the top of the stairs when he suddenly stopped.

He turned and glanced at Qianqian twice, then suddenly said, "Your French is pretty good!"

"What do you say?"
