I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 348 On the train

Han Shanping didn't say a word, and turned to leave.

At this moment, Da Pao's face was as white as paper.

The Imperial Advisor, on the other hand, had a face as black as the bottom of a pot.

Fortunately, he received a call from the organizing committee beforehand; otherwise, he would have packed his bags and left Berlin immediately.

What a shame!

Novels written by Chinese people, starring Chinese actors.

Filmmakers from France, the United States, and Germany visited the set.

Unfortunately, neither of the two Chinese film crews showed up.

It's understandable that Li Yang's film crew didn't go.

I don't know him, I really don't know him!
But Zhang Yimou didn't go, which is unacceptable.

After the Berlin Film Festival last year, he returned to China and said a few good words for Liu Jin.

The two knew each other...

As it turned out, he didn't go.

Wouldn't this create a buzz for foreign media, suggesting that Liu Jin and the "Hero" crew are at odds, and that Zhang Dapao is suspected of targeting them?

The national advisor couldn't predict what kind of public opinion this would generate overseas.

But if it gets back to China...

Do you know how much people in China look down on Zhang Yimou these days?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glare fiercely at Zhang Dapao, then turned and left.

He needs to talk to Han Shanping. It's not that he, Zhang Yimou, has a conflict with Liu Jin; he even helped promote Liu Jin last year.

Yes, he's not afraid!
It was just an oversight; the real trouble would be if it got back and became a major issue.

The hardest thing is that Liu Jin is gone.

If he were still in Berlin, there might still be a chance to salvage the situation.

Why do you think Liu Jin gave him a photocopy of his passport?
That is to tell the Grand Tutor: Grand Tutor, I'm letting the cannon go for your sake, but there might be a next time.

Liu Jin now has the right to speak.

In particular, if he wins the Medici Prize and the Pulitzer Prize, his status in the cultural circle will be no lower than that of the Grand Tutor.

Liang Gezi looked a little pale and kept her head down without saying a word.

Zhang Ziyi looked thoughtful.

Looking at Da Pao, who looked like he had lost his parents, and Liang Gezi, whose face was pale, Zhang Manyu felt a strange sense of pleasure.

Last year's news was truly disgusting to her!

She did have feelings for Liang Gezi at one time.

But after realizing it was impossible to ruin his relationship with someone, she withdrew.

As a result, the rumors persisted.

Zhang Manyu even wondered if those rumors were deliberately orchestrated by him.
Maybe he wouldn't, but his partner is a master of self-promotion...

But it doesn’t matter!

She passed the audition for "Clean" this time, and as long as she can pass the French test, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Will you continue acting in the future?
Even she herself isn't sure.

If there's a good show, I might take it.

But if it's just so-so, then forget it...

Anyway, she's made enough money!
It's actually quite good to be able to avoid that stinky circle on Hong Kong Island.

Next, she will return to Paris.

While learning French, she also helped her aunt contact hospitals.

Let's drag her out too!
Or it would be better for her to go to mainland China than Hong Kong.

"Maggie!"

"Hey, Danny!"

Zhang Manyu returned to her room and began packing her luggage.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Zidan ran over and asked, "Sister Maggie, are you and that Amos very familiar?"

"Hmm, he's alright, but he's closer to Leslie, why?"

"That's right, my older brother wants to contact him, but there's no introduction."

He had originally discussed it with Leslie, but they missed it because of the release of "Royal Dragon"... He didn't know if Leslie had told him about it.

“I’m not too sure either, but I know Amos has been traveling a lot lately, so Leslie might not be able to contact him.”

Maggie Cheung does not dislike Zhen Zidan.

She and Cheng (the eldest brother) have collaborated many times in Police Story.

I must help my elder brother with this.

"How about this, I'll contact Leslie first, and then I'll contact Amos."

However, it's definitely not possible today. The NJ457 he's on this time will take 18 hours to get to Vienna, and he has a heavy filming schedule.

I'll contact Eva after he arrives in Vienna. I'll let her know then.

"Thank you, Maggie!"

……

In the future, NJ457 will only take 12 and a half hours to reach Vienna.

But now, it's very slow!

After departing from Berlin at 6:22 PM, the film crew began their work.

They needed to complete the filming on the train within eighteen hours.

For this purpose, the production crew specially booked two train carriages.

Fortunately, Liu Jin is in good condition.

Sophie Marceau, Tobey Maguire, and David Lynch also delivered outstanding performances.

Before Sunrise, there really isn't a complicated plot.

The main reason was that Liu Jin and Eva got to know each other and then talked a lot. To put it bluntly, he pretended to be profound and said some very strange things to flirt with girls.

But Americans really like that.

Especially the chicken soup, one serving is enough to fill you up!

The filming went smoothly, and all the filming plans were completed in thirteen hours.

However, the intense filming schedule left everyone exhausted, and they all went back to their seats to sleep.

Liu Jin sat in the dining car and continued typing.

Anyway, once they arrive in Vienna, the crew will have a day off, giving him plenty of time to rest.

"Amos, writing again?"

"Sophie, don't you want to rest?"

"No, after I get off the train, I'll go straight to the airport and rest there."

How's the filming in Canada going?

"It's going very smoothly, and we should be able to wrap up filming around mid-April."

"Congratulations."

"No, it's our movie."

Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, we still have a lot to talk about when we sit together.

Unfortunately, the time was too short!
And the car was full of people from the film crew...

"I have something to discuss with you!" (in unison)

Both of them were taken aback after they finished speaking.

Liu Jin laughed and said, "You go first!"

"it is good!"

Sophie Marceau took a deep breath and said, "Amos, I may not be able to star in 'Life Is Beautiful'."

"what?"

"Don't rush, listen to me first."

I really want to play Rachel; I love that role.

However, if you want to make an impact with this film, you'll need the help of the victims.

To put it simply, victims wouldn't agree to cast a French actor who isn't a victim, or who doesn't have victim blood, in such a role. This role means a lot to them, and they prefer to use someone from their own community.

Sophie Marceau lit a cigarette.

She gently exhaled through her eyes and whispered, "This is what Sofia Coppola told me."

But I'm more inclined to believe it was her father, or perhaps Mr. Spielberg, who gave me this reminder through her.

Liu Jin remained silent.

After a long pause, he smiled wryly and said, "Actually, this is what I wanted to tell you as well."

Last year, director Patrick Schauer talked to me about this... but I still don't know how to bring it up with you.

"Director Xiahou, that's a good thing."

Sophie Marceau didn't seem to take it to heart at all.

She pondered for a moment and said, "This means they've already set their sights on you."

"It's not necessarily all a good thing."

"Hehe, since you understand this, I don't need to remind you anymore."

"Has anyone chosen yet?"

"Not yet!"

Sophie Marceau pondered for a moment, then said softly, "Actually, there are very few actresses of the victim's blood who are good at acting, have enough fame, and are of the right age. Even in Hollywood, this situation exists."

Sofia is currently mentoring a very talented girl named Scarlett Johansson.

But she's too inexperienced, not suitable... There's also Natalie Portman, you should know her, Matilda, she's twenty-two this year. Sofia said that she's also a candidate the victim will strongly recommend in the future, very insightful and ambitious.

By the way, she's still the Star Wars Queen, Amidala, and her acting is quite good.

"But it's only not bad, I suppose."

Liu Jin's impressions of Natalie Portman, besides Matilda, were only Amidala and Ivy Hammond.

Matilda, absolutely stunning!
As for Amidala, to be honest, she didn't have a deep impression of him.

Star Wars!

I watched Star Wars, Jedi Knights, and Skywalker.

Amidala may be memorable to Europeans and Americans, but for Liu Jin, he was just an ordinary person.

But Ivy Hammond...

Wait, which movie was Ivy Hammond in?

Liu Jin's eyes flashed.

Why do I remember this name?

V for Vendetta!
I remember now...

Natalie Portman plays the female lead in this movie, and her name is Ivy Hammond.

But to be honest, he prefers Hugo Weaving's performance.

Wait a minute, V for Vendetta?
It seems to be an original film...

Who directed it again?

Can't remember!
But it's a very interesting story that Liu Jin read several times in his previous life.

Perfect for comics!

Moreover, Kung Fu Panda 1 will be over soon, and the next film can be V for Vendetta.

What year was that movie released?

I don't remember very clearly!
But it seems to be a Warner production.
