I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 340 The Gift (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions for May Day)
As I was leaving the hotel, the owner of the Lawrence Noodle Shop across the street was sunbathing in front of the door.

"Have you been eating there these past two days?"

"Yes!"

"Do you know that they secretly reported you to the police?"

"what?"

"They might suspect you're an illegal immigrant... The local police station even came to question you, but no one told you, right?"

Liu Jin shook his head.

Through the car window, he glanced at the kind-looking old lady.

He didn't actually have much affection for this noodle shop; he just liked it for its convenience.

However, when he came here more than ten years later, the noodle shop was still there.

The taste was already very Americanized; it doesn't taste as good as it does now.

But in his past life, he could sense that the people in this noodle shop were actually very hostile towards Chinese people.

The proprietress repeatedly said that it was people like them from China who drove up housing prices in Los Angeles.

I initially thought it was just a simple complaint.

did not expect……

Liu Jin also gave up the idea of ​​saying goodbye to them, stepped on the gas, and sped away, closely following Matt's Grand Cherokee.

Let's never see each other again.

……

That afternoon, they returned to Hollywood.

The first thing Liu Jin did upon returning to Hollywood was to contact an agent to cancel his apartment purchase.

Then they drove straight to Emmanuel's villa.

That evening, Kate called and invited him and a few others, including Leonardo DiCaprio, to dinner.

At the dinner table, Xiao Li and his two companions recounted their search for Liu Jin over the past few days, which made Liu Jin laugh heartily.

What date are you leaving?

"Planet number seven."

"That's the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes!"

"What a pity, I was originally planning to rip you off."

"Haha, there's a chance, there's a chance... By the way, aren't you coming with me?"

"I'll be a few days later; I have an event to attend here. I'll head over after that, probably around the 11th or 12th."

"Alright then, see you in Berlin."

Tobey Maguire and Matt Damon also indicated that they would visit the set in Berlin with Leonardo DiCaprio.

Dinner put Liu Jin in a good mood.

Back at the villa, he lay on the sofa and made phone calls to Sophie Marceau, David Lynch, Naomi Watts, and Emmanuel and Eva, who were in Berlin. He then sent an email to Ms. Sencho, along with a copy of "Red Sparrow."

Of course, a copy was also sent to Mela.

After everything was settled, Liu Jin sat down by the pool.

He recalled what Xiao Li and the others had said at the dinner table, and couldn't help but imagine how frantically they had been searching for him these past few days.

My heart feels warm.

Yes, Leonardo DiCaprio is a womanizer and always gets bored with the old and crave the new.

But what does that have to do with him?
After getting to know Leonardo DiCaprio, I realized that he is a very sincere friend.

Of course, they have to be friends he approves of.

Suddenly struck by a thought, Liu Jin got up and walked back to the living room, sat down on the carpet in front of the coffee table, and turned on his computer.

He opened the document and stared blankly for a moment.

Then he typed a line in the document: The Hangover
After his rebirth, Liu Jin has been avoiding writing screenplays because they are so annoying!
He genuinely dislikes writing screenplays.

I have absolutely no interest!

Previously, Isabelle Adjani had approached him to be the screenwriter for "Amélie".

But he refused!
David Lynch also approached him, but he refused.

There's also "Pirates of the Caribbean." Warner Bros. initially wanted him to provide the script, but Liu Jin had absolutely no interest.

Writing screenplays is nowhere near as interesting as writing novels!
But this time, he had to write.

The story of Leonardo DiCaprio and his team searching for him reminded him of a movie.

……

And so, Liu Jin barely slept a wink on the night of the 5th and the entire day of the 6th.

He completed the script in one day and two nights.

So much so that when he was asked to fly to Berlin on the 7th, he was in a daze and confused.

I simply called Little Li.

"Take me to the airport."

Little Li was probably still half asleep when he mumbled, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you just call a taxi?"

"Come pick me up quickly, and I'll also give you a gift."

A woman's voice could be faintly heard on the phone.

"Okay, okay, give me an hour."

"it is good!"

This guy, as expected, is fooling around with women again.

I just wonder who it will be this time?

But Liu Jin could roughly guess that it was bound to be the case for those aged 18 and above and under 25. He used the photocopier at Emmanuel's house to print out a copy of the script.

Then, after packing his luggage, he walked out of the villa and locked the door.

I was squatting by the roadside, feeling sleepy all the time.

Fortunately, Leonardo DiCaprio arrived in his car not long after.

He was driving a sports car, and there was a blonde woman sitting in the car.

"Amos, what are you up to?"

The car stopped by the roadside, and Xiao Li shouted at Liu Jin.

"Stop talking nonsense, take me to the airport, we're running out of time."

As he spoke, Liu Jin got up, jumped into the sports car, and sat in the back seat.

“gogogo…”

"I don't understand you. You could have called a car, why did you insist on asking me to drive you?"

Do you know, I didn't go to sleep until 4 a.m. last night.

"Fuck, do you even know that I haven't slept for two days and nights because of you?"

The blonde woman probably didn't understand the situation yet.

I was sleeping soundly when Little Li pulled me up and said he was going to give me away.

I thought it was someone important, but it turns out to be an Asian... and judging from this Asian's appearance, his relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio is quite unusual.

"What are you crazy about?"

"A gift for you."

Liu Jin took out a photocopy from his backpack and handed it to Xiao Li.

Leonardo DiCaprio took it and only glanced at the cover.

"the Hangover?"

"Ah."

"You've written another novel?"

"It's a script, a script... I hate writing scripts the most, they're not challenging at all."

"Fuck you, you mean you wrote a script in a day and two nights and now you're going to give it to me?"

"It was inspired by the matter you contacted me about a couple of days ago."

"what?"

"Here you go, along with Matt and Toby. Whether you want to film it or not is up to you."

"You're just giving it to me like this? For free?"

"How much money can you give me? Besides, this is originally your story... You can decide for yourselves."

The blonde woman looked a little confused.

She could tell that Leonardo DiCaprio was a little excited.

He turned his head and glanced at Liu Jin.

She suddenly remembered the news from a couple of days ago and blurted out, "Are you Mr. Amos?"

"Hey there!"

Liu Jin was so sleepy that his eyelids were drooping, and he didn't even notice the big girl.

“Amy, Lysle Smart, who starred in Starship Troopers; Amy, this is Amos, my good friend.”

Starship Troopers?

Is it that sci-fi movie about fighting giant bugs?
Liu Jin was taken aback, glanced at Amy twice, and confirmed that he didn't remember her.

In the movie *The Big Bug*, Liu Jin only remembers two actresses most vividly. One was the actress who played the starship commander, who later appeared in *The World Is Not Enough*. Don't ask him how he remembers her; in that movie, Sophie Marceau played the villainous boss.

I can't remember the other actress's name.

She plays the male lead's best friend, and before she dies, she has sex with him, which helps him recover from his despair.

Yes, she had nude shots, which left a deep impression.

"Aren't you planning to act in it?"

"Bullshit, I'm too lazy to act. Remember to register the script with the script association, and then it's up to you whether you find someone to invest or invest yourself."

However, let me make this clear first: I personally feel that this film won't do too badly at the box office; it should be able to gross two or three hundred million.

"So confident?"

"I have always been very confident in myself."

Two or three hundred million?
Liu Jin had already kept his mouth shut.

He recalled that the film grossed over 400 million worldwide.

Moreover, they even won several awards!

Considering how hard you all went to find me, and how you genuinely consider me a friend, I've decided to repay you.

At this moment, Little Li was not concerned about the two or three hundred million that Liu Jin mentioned.

What bothered him was that this guy was really too crazy!

One script in one day and two nights?
In other words, he started creating art after returning home from dinner that day.

Is it even finished yet?
Looking at Liu Jin through the rearview mirror, Xiao Li glanced at him.

He was very touched because Liu Jin's nonchalant attitude showed that he truly considered them his friends...

Put the script away.

Leonardo DiCaprio had already decided that no matter how the script was written, he would make it into a film.

Only in this way can we live up to Liu Jin's hard work!
