I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 349 Juliette Binoche
"Amos, Amos?"

"Sophie!"

Liu Jin awoke from his reverie.

He looked up and saw Sophie looking at him with a half-smile.

"You're daydreaming again. Have you thought of some interesting story this time?"

"Uh……"

Liu Jin gave an awkward laugh.

Sophie Marceau, Eva Longoria, Isabelle Adjani and Emmanuelle, even Alizee and Heidi Klum, were all used to his habitual daydreaming. Perhaps, this is the writer's inspiration?

Westerners like to say that great writers must have their own muse.

If chatting with him helps him generate inspiration, then she is his muse.

"Where were we talking about?"

"Actors of Jewish descent, or of Jewish descent."

“Oh, I remember now, Natalie Portman, she can’t.”

Liu Jin answered decisively.

Sophie Marceau was somewhat puzzled.

"You don't like her?"

It's not that I don't like it, it's just that it's not suitable.

Who would like an extremist?
Perhaps she wasn't, but judging from her subsequent actions, it's clear that she was backed by an extremist organization.

Why join in the fun?

He's not a scoundrel.

Moreover, Natalie Portman's acting in her later years was just so-so.

It seems that besides V for Vendetta, Black Swan is the only other film that I can really talk about.

As for Annihilation, it seems to have lost money.

She doesn't have the ability to carry a box office on her own, and she's not even as good as Gal Gadot, at least that woman has proven that.

Liu Jin shook his head, preventing his thoughts from wandering again.

"Hollywood, only those two?"

"There are definitely others, but this group is already small, especially those who are famous, have a certain level of recognition, and are of suitable age. There are many good actors in the older generation, but they have either passed away or are too old."

Among the younger generation, only those two stand out the most.

Gal Gadot hasn't debuted yet.

That's right, she was probably still competing for some kind of Miss pageant at that time, and then she joined the army...

What about France?

"There aren't many of them who are of suitable age. Emmanuelle Béart is one, and then there's Charlotte Gainsbourg, do you remember her?"

"Um, the 2001 review?"

"Yes, she is Jewish."

"Eva seems to be too..."

Sophie Marceau nodded and said, "But Charlotte and Eva are too young."

Of course, it depends on when you plan to release the rights to "Life Is Beautiful." If you're patient, you can wait a few years. Eva is very talented; as long as the resources aren't lacking, she should be able to take on the role in five or six years.

"05 years!"

"60th anniversary?"

Liu Jin nodded.

2005 marked the 60th anniversary of the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War.

It is also the 60th anniversary of the surrender of the Japanese.

No matter what, he has to treat this book as a gift to his wife and have it photographed.

It's okay to make life a little unpleasant!

“Then there are only two candidates, one is Béart, and the other is…” Sophie Marceau hesitated for a moment, then said softly, “But I’m not sure if she would be interested. But in terms of box office potential and fame, they are good enough.”

"Who?"

“Juliet Binoche, you should know her.”

Wow~~
Liu Jin, he really does know.

A French national treasure actress with outstanding acting skills and awards that are no less than those of Isabelle Adjani and Isabelle Huppert.

He is said to be Zhang Manyu's idol.

She is one of the few French actresses who has been accepted by Hollywood.

In Hollywood, there are priority resources...

Juliette Binoche!

Her most recent award was for Chocolatier in 2001, where she almost won the Academy Award for Best Actress.

"She is Jewish?"

"Ok!"

Sophie Marceau said, "If you're interested, you can contact her."

She's very busy, with many film offers... She spends most of her time in America now.

You can ask Emmanuelle to introduce you; they get along well… If she doesn't work, then it's best to try Béart.”

"I see!"

Liu Jin nodded, stood up, and hugged Sophie.

"Thank you!"

"Alright, don't be so polite with me. I'm going back to rest. You can focus on your writing."

After arriving at the station, I won't say goodbye; I'll go straight to the airport and should be able to return to Los Angeles around the end of next month.

"it is good!"

Liu Jin no longer held back.

Sophie got up and left, while Liu Jin sat at the dining table, looking out the car window. Juliette Binoche was indeed a good actress.

He's a bit old, born in 64... I think!
About the same size as Béa.

I carefully recalled Binoche's films.

Blue, The English Patient, and Chocolatier are some of Binoche's most representative works after he turned thirty.

Binoche at this time still had a youthful charm.

In a few years, especially after 10 years, her roles gradually began to lean towards middle-aged and elderly characters.

The main change is in appearance.

She has a cool and mysterious aura, and is also very tall.

His height seems suitable, 168cm?

She's a bit shorter than Emmanuelle and Sophie Marceau, but at least when she stands next to her brother, she doesn't feel too intimidating.

As for the acting...

She's an Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actress!
The more Liu Jin thought about it, the more suitable it seemed.

Of course, Béart is also good, and in terms of image, she seems to be better than Binoche, but her popularity is still inferior to Binoche's.

Especially in Hollywood!
Binoche is doing very well in Hollywood.

Emmanuel, on the other hand, had already retreated to his homeland in Europe...

If "Life Is Beautiful" wants to be promoted globally, it must rely on Hollywood's distribution channels.

An actress who is more readily accepted by Hollywood would be more suitable.

Emotionally, he was inclined towards Emmanuel.

But reason told her that Binoche was the best choice...

"Hey, Amos!"

"Leon, is something the matter?"

"I saw you standing here alone, so I came over to chat with you for a bit."

Xiao Li sat down opposite Liu Jin and asked the flight attendant to bring him a cup of coffee.

"Tell me what it is."

Liu Jin said with a smile.

"It's about Eva..."

"Eva? What's wrong with Eva?"

"You know that Matt invited Eva to star in 'Closer Brothers,' right?"

"of course."

“What I mean is, Eva is different from you. You’re just doing it for fun, so you can ignore Hollywood rules and work on your own. But if Eva goes to Hollywood, she definitely needs a reliable agency, you know what I mean?”

Liu Jin was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.

"so……"

"As you know, I have a talent agency with the Rick Yorn brothers."

It's not a large firm, certainly not comparable to big brokerages like CAA. When we initially set up this brokerage, it was primarily for my personal benefit. However, I no longer lack resources, but Rick still has quite a few, and keeping them would be a waste. We're also looking for other people to join the brokerage.

I already had an agreement with Cameron Diaz on the set of Gangster in New York that she would join Scatterlight after her contract expires.

"If you agree, I can sign Eva; at least in Hollywood, I can give him some preferential treatment."

Leonardo DiCaprio isn't a big shot in Hollywood.

But he does have some energy.

In the original timeline, Eva seemed to be one of the four major agents she signed with.

Which one is it?
Liu Jin couldn't remember very clearly anymore.

However, it seems that it is not highly valued and has not received many good resources.

The only truly excellent resource is probably that James Bond film...

It's no wonder, as Eva debuted and rose to fame with "The Dreamers," attracting a large number of fans with her full-frontal nudity on screen.

They're not fans, mostly just old perverts.

Appearing in full nudity is indeed a shortcut to fame.

Eva also entered Hollywood with that movie and earned the title of a sexy beauty.

But what kind of title...?

There are differences!
The difference between a full L-shaped cut and a cut without any L-shaped cut is significant.

Therefore, after she entered Hollywood, the roles she received were basically all related to the word "sexy".

To put it simply, it's a vase!

But Hollywood is never short of pretty faces!

Therefore, signing with one of the Big Four accounting firms is just so-so, and may not necessarily be beneficial for Eva.

But if we add scattered light...

Leonardo DiCaprio is known for leaving his fingerprints on every script in Hollywood, and his resources are unimaginable.

In addition, there's Liu Jin's connection...

"You've taken a liking to '50 First Dates'?"

Liu Jin suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Xiao Li with a half-smile.

"Hehe, Rick took a liking to it. He asked me to ask you if you were interested in selling the adaptation rights."

"You should ask Eva."

"She told me to ask you..."

"you……"

Liu Jin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I can give you the adaptation rights. As for signing Eva, if she agrees, I have no objection."
