I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 338 Seven Days (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions during May Day!!)
At this time, it was already evening.

In the sunset, the sea breeze caressed my face.

An Asian man, wearing black-rimmed glasses, was walking slowly along the side of the road.

He was wearing jeans and white sneakers.

He wore a khaki hunting outfit on his upper body.

His hair was a bit long, past his neck.

But he didn't bother to take care of it; he just draped it over himself in a lazy way.

As I walked, there was a strange sense of dejection about me.

He walked along with his hands in his pockets.

There's a very inexplicable aura about him...

It's artistic, yet also melancholic.

"Amos!"

The Grand Cherokee made a U-turn on the road, and then the tires screeched as they rubbed against the ground, stopping next to Liu Jin.

"Leon, Matt, Toby...Miss Kate?"

Liu Jin was taken aback, looking at the four people who got out of the car with a slightly unfocused gaze.

"Amos, my brother, it's so good to see you're alright."

Little Li was overjoyed and rushed forward to hug Liu Jin tightly.

he shouted.

Toby and Matt were also very excited.

These past few days have really worn them out!

“Mr. Amos, I am Kate, Kate Lewinster.”

Liu Jin smiled slightly, seemingly unsurprised by Kate's appearance.

He stepped forward and shook hands with Kate, then calmly asked, "How did you find this place?"

"I also want to ask, how did you find this place?"

Little Li, gritting his teeth.

You bastard, I almost ruined my reputation trying to find you!
But Matt sensed something was off, tugged at Leonardo DiCaprio, and said with a smile, "Amos, let's go back and talk."

"it is good!"

Kate drove back to the hotel first.

Xiao Li and his two companions accompanied Liu Jin as they walked along the road.

"Amos, are you alright?"

"Me? Great!"

"But I always feel that there's something strange about you."

"Have it?"

Matt Damon and Tobey Maguire nodded in unison.

“Man, that’s it, keep it up… You’re starting to give me a bit of Jack’s vibe.”

"what?"

"Jack before dawn".

Matt Damon and Tobey Maguire exchanged a glance but didn't respond.

Before Sunrise was released in France in mid-January.

It's worth noting that Liu Jin's "Fifty First Loves" was just released at the end of last month, and the release of a new work this month has made many people think of the situation last year.

Last year, Liu Jin almost created an Amos year.

I managed to restrain myself later, otherwise that situation might have really occurred.

And now...

In March, Liu Jin's second book of the year, "Time Travelers," will also be published, and an announcement has already been made.

In June, "Million Dollar Baby" will also be published.

However, the English version will officially launch in America in February, but it will not be published by Random House, but by ECCO, a publisher that HarperCollins Publishers claims to be involved in.

Judging from the current sales figures, 50 First Dates and Before Sunrise are performing reasonably well.

"Fifty First Dates" has sold 470,000 copies in a month and a half since its release, and is expected to sell over 1 million copies.

"Before Sunrise" sold 390,000 copies in 23 days after its release, influenced by the upcoming start of filming for the movie, and is predicted to break 100,000 copies as well.

Very good results!

However, compared to last year, there is still a significant gap.

So much so that some in France have already declared that Amos has run out of ideas.

However, judging from the market response, the books have received very positive reviews and have great potential. As a bestselling author, Liu Jin's two books have already met the publisher's expectations.

After all, in France, or the French-speaking region, 100,000 copies is already considered a bestseller!

America needs to be renegotiated and translated, so it is expected to be released after March.

Random House stated that they remain optimistic about Liu Jin...

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin smiled.

I guess so!
He doesn't even know his exact condition right now.

But it feels pretty good!
……

The group chatted and laughed as they returned to the hotel.

Liu Jin led them upstairs in the elevator, stopped on the fourth floor, and went into the guest room.

The guest rooms are really not very big.

But it's a suite, about 70 or 80 square meters.

For a hotel of this size, this is already their best room.

The room was very clean.

The computer on the coffee table was still on, its light flashing.

Liu Jin had a few cups of coffee sent up from downstairs; the coffee at the Bloom Hotel was alright.

"Have you been here these past few days?"

"Yes!"

"Why would you end up here?"

"Quiet down!"

Liu Jin smiled wryly and said, "I didn't expect the soundproofing in my rented apartment to be so bad, especially that old woman diagonally across from me, who often makes strange noises in the middle of the night. After I went back that day, I came here the next day."

It's a nice, quiet place!

As Liu Jin spoke, he pushed open the window.

The sea breeze rushed in through the window.

He took a deep breath and smiled, "It's close to the sea here, and it's quiet."

In the evening, there's practically no one outside... In the morning, I write on the hotel terrace, take a nap at noon, write for another two or three hours in the afternoon, then go for a walk on the beach to enjoy the sea breeze, and come back to continue writing.

After saying that, he smiled and turned the computer around.

"It feels great, like I'm back in Toulouse."

Without any disturbance, I can quietly write a book, or take a walk on the beach… Ladies and gentlemen!

He smiled and opened the document.

"A wind-up cardinal!"

"Have you finished writing?"

"98,762 characters."

"Seven days?"

"Yes!"

"Shit, are you kidding me?"

"The book is right here, and I've had a new story while I was taking a walk these past two days... Hehe, I already know what I should write about in my next book."

Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Matt Damon, and Kate Lewinster looked at each other in bewilderment.

For a moment, they didn't know what to say.

It feels so dreamy!

Just a week ago, everyone was happily singing and flirting in Dog's cozy nest.

He improvised a Despacito, which is slowly spreading in Los Angeles.

Someone recorded Liu Jin and Shakira's performance that night, but the sound and video quality weren't great. However, the atmosphere conveyed by the song was enough for everyone to feel. Many people are clamoring for a studio version.

However, neither Liu Jin nor Shakira recovered.

And now you're telling me you spent seven days... no, to be precise, six days, to finish a 100,000-word novel?
And then a new story emerged?
Leonardo DiCaprio felt it was a bit unbelievable.

He had previously heard from Kate that Liu Jin had created "The Old Man and the Sea" in eight days.

Although Matt Damon corroborated this story, Leonardo DiCaprio still felt it was impossible and that it was more like a publicity stunt.

But now...

Looking at Liu Jin, who was calmly smiling in front of him, he couldn't help but say, "Amos, has your head been kissed by God?"
