I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 302 Rumors
Here's what happened.

Two days ago, Sony Pictures hosted a banquet.

Leonardo DiCaprio, being a rising star with nothing to do and having finished filming "Gangs of New York," casually strolled over.

The organizers certainly wouldn't refuse Leonardo.

As a result, he met Béa at the banquet, who also happened to be attending the banquet.

Emmanuel is famous in France, but in Hollywood...

To be honest, it's just so-so!
She was able to attend because of Tom Cruise; otherwise, she wouldn't have received an invitation.

Tom Cruise is currently having a falling out with his agent, Ginsley.

It is said that this was because Gin Selby did not agree with his Scientology beliefs. Coupled with other disagreements, the conflict grew increasingly intense.

It was Jin Sili who arranged this banquet for him.

Because Old Tom was dissatisfied with her, he used the excuse of going to learn Little Life Kendo to give the invitation to Emmanuel.

Emmanuel and Leonardo DiCaprio were not very close to each other.

As a result, during their casual conversation, Emmanuel inadvertently mentioned that she had obtained a book by Liu Jin.

Leonardo immediately became interested.

They kept asking what book it was.

They then inquired about who they planned to cast in the film.

Emmanuel knew that he and Liu Jin were just friends, so he didn't hide it from them.

Besides, who could resist Leonardo DiCaprio?

that's it……

“Ms. Béa did mention this, but I don’t think it’s plausible.”

"why?"

"My mom is a fucking idiot, she's not an actress, she's never acted before, how could I possibly play the male lead?"

"That's not quite right. Acting is mainly about talent and understanding of the character. Just find a reliable director to mentor you, and you'll be fine, right? I think you're not important; what's important is who directs you."

“I don’t like hearing that. No one understands Jack better than I do about my books.”

"Pah, what good is it if you know? Your acting is terrible."

"Yes, yes, that's why I hesitated. It's because I can't act."

After all, it's a five million dollar investment.

"There's something wrong with you."

"Something's wrong."

"Do you look down on the acting profession?"

"Yes, why would I give up being a good writer to suffer? And have to endure being pointed at and gossiped about? I have no interest in that."

"Damn, being an actor is so great! You get to experience all sorts of different lives, you get to meet all sorts of women, you can..."

Do I lack women?

"Forehead……"

After exchanging a few words, Liu Jin leaned back in his chair and yawned.

Eva leaped and landed on his lap.

"The main problem is that I'm about to start my internship, but I haven't found a company yet. I'm completely overwhelmed with this issue."

"practice?"

"Of course it's important, otherwise I won't be able to get my diploma and I won't be able to explain it to my parents."

After Liu Jin finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and chuckled, "Of course, a high school student like you wouldn't understand something like this."

One sentence hit Leonardo's sore spot.

Many people know that Leonardo DiCaprio graduated from high school and did not attend university.

Mainly because he came from a wealthy family, he had no interest in studying since childhood but loved acting, so his mother did not force him to continue his studies after he finished high school.

There are many illiterate people in Hollywood!

However, Leonardo DiCaprio always presents a gentle and refined demeanor to the public, making people forget about this incident.

On the phone, Leonardo DiCaprio hurled profanities.

He cursed Liu Jin for a full ten minutes.

Liu Jin didn't mind and listened to him finish cursing with a smile.

Then comes the line: "You're a high school student!"

Leonardo was so angry that he launched into another ten-minute tirade of profanities.

"You could come to Hollywood for an internship."

"Hollywood?"

"America has many companies; you could even talk to Random House and ask them for assistance."

Alternatively, you can intern at my company. Whether you work or not is none of my business.

"Oh yeah, how come I didn't think of that... Wait, you started a company?"

"nonsense!"

Leonardo DiCaprio's future extends far beyond just being an actor.

He is also a producer and a company owner.

He owns a company called Appian Way Productions, which he co-founded with Sony Pictures.

Next year, the company will invest in the movie "The Aviator".

"Then send me an offer."

"this is very simple."

Leonardo was on the phone, talking to someone, but it was unclear.

Then he suddenly asked, "By the way, which school do you go to?"

"You're such a jerk, I'll send your resume to your email in a bit."

"OK, OK, it's not my fault. I know you're a writer, but I don't really know which school you went to."

By the way, is Amos your real name?

It feels a little different from Chinese names.

"That's my pen name, you bastard!"

Liu Jin was furious.

He really had no choice but to accept such an unreliable friend.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll give you an offer after I receive the email." After saying that, he suddenly asked, "What's the plot of your story? You really don't plan to act it yourself?"

"Actually, I also have other concerns."

"what?"

"Brother, I'm Chinese. Do you think Americans would accept a Chinese person as the main character?"

Although Emmanuel said that Tom with the searchlight thought it was acceptable.

However, given Liu Jin's understanding of Hollywood's nature, this matter is still uncertain.

Leonardo couldn't help but laugh.

“My brother, you really don’t know how famous you are in America now.”

The sales figures for Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Old Man and the Sea… Also, David Lynch's Identity has been released and is doing well, grossing $18 million in its opening week, and receiving rave reviews. You're a celebrity in Hollywood.”

"Identity is out?"

"You do not know?"

"I've been busy rushing to finish my manuscript lately and haven't been paying attention to what's going on outside."

"You really..."

Leonardo said, half-laughing and half-crying, "You now have two films that have already been released in America."

Oh right, there's also "Amélie".

What are Amélie's grades now?

"I'm not too sure, but I've heard it has a good reputation. I'll take a look."

He seemed to be exchanging a few words with someone, probably his assistant or someone else.

A moment later, the rustling sound of the paper shaking could be heard.

"Bro, that's great!"

"What can?"

"Amélie's box office performance is not bad, it actually broke 100 million."

108.47 million... It seems like director Isabelle Adjani just didn't find a suitable distribution company. Miramax's distribution capabilities are rather mediocre. If they had found a better company, I think it could have increased by another 20 or 30 million.

Liu Jin was secretly calculating.

Five thousand in France, one hundred million in North America, that's already one hundred and fifty million.

The box office in other countries will also see another surge due to the success of the North American box office, and it's not impossible for the global box office to reach 200 million.

"So, this counts as an explosion?"

"Only one hundred million."

I knew I shouldn't have asked ZBF this question. He has the box office revenue of "Titanic" in his hands; he might not even care about 100 million.

The original timeline of this movie only grossed 100 million worldwide.

"But in Hollywood terms, this film is already considered a success."

"All right!"

……

Liu Jin and Leonardo chatted for a while longer.

It was already 1 a.m. when I hung up the phone.

This guy is really good at talking nonsense!

It was an international call, and it dragged on for over an hour. My phone is almost out of battery.

However, resolving the internship issue is a good thing.

Therefore, connections are very important.

In his past life, he got his internship with the help of Professor Joannup.

After working like a slave for half a year, I stayed at that investment company after graduation.

Then, the pressure became immense.

He knew from that time on that he was not cut out for a career in finance.

I opened my Hotmail email and sent my resume to Leonardo.

Then he checked his email and kept grinning.

There are hundreds of emails in my inbox!
In fact, he rarely checked his email after he began handwriting Notre Dame de Paris.

I turn on the computer mainly to look up information.

Isabelle Adjani's emails, Amélie was shown in France, then left the screens in France, then was shown in America, then left America...

Audrey's email: Congratulations to Amelie on your success.

Isabelle Adjani's emails, Amélie, are being shown in Germany and Spain...

David Lynch's emails, ID, are being released.

The most recent email, sent by David Lynch on Monday, told Liu Jin about the opening week box office of Fatal ID and subsequent changes.

Liu Jin felt very embarrassed.

I immediately sent an email to David Lynch.

Dear David, I'm so sorry it's so late for me to reply to your email.

For the past six months, I've been engrossed in writing my new book and have hardly been online, which is why I haven't been able to reply to your emails.

Congratulations on the opening weekend box office of "Identity"...

Anyway, I rambled on and on, but it was mostly an apology.

Then, send it.

I replied to Adjani's email again.

Then came Audrey, then Lima, and then Naomi…

Wait, how come Naomi has my email address?

Liu Jin thought about it for a moment, shook his head, and put the matter out of his mind.

After dealing with the emails, I was also sleepy.

Liu Jin lost interest in writing, so he turned off his computer, left the study, climbed into his comfortable bed, and closed his eyes.

Eva darted onto the bed and squeezed under the covers.

It makes a snoring sound.

Liu Jin slowly drifted off to sleep!
