I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 352 Finishing

Lost in Shanghai is still a long way off.

"Life Is Beautiful" is also an unknown.

Liu Jin did not give Sophia a definite answer, but he said he would seriously consider it.

Sofia is satisfied with this!
……

The following day, filming of "Before" continued.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon both made cameo appearances.

Leonardo DiCaprio makes a cameo appearance as a street poet, while Matt Damon plays a guitarist at a club.

After completing their cameo appearances, Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon left Vienna and flew to Los Angeles.

After all, Leonardo DiCaprio also has "Gangs of New York" vying for an Oscar.

Shortly after the two left, Cage and Sofia also made cameo appearances.

Cage makes a cameo appearance as the man on the bridge in the film.

Sofia plays the woman reading on a tablet.

At this point, all the actors who needed to make cameo appearances had completed filming.

Sofia flew to Shanghai.

Cage flew back to Los Angeles...

He also has a role that he's vying for an Oscar for Best Actor.

However, he told Liu Jin privately that he was basically destined to be a runner-up, and there was no hope unless God intervened.

The film he was nominated for is called "Adaptation".

Working with Meryl Streep generates a lot of buzz.

But Liu Jin vaguely remembers that the film seemed to have won two major awards.

Meryl Streep won Best Actress, and Chris Cooper won Best Supporting Actor.

The absence of any one of them would be awkward.

It seems that Cage did not win an award.

But how can we inform them of this?
Liu Jin could only secretly wish Cage well, hoping he would succeed quickly.

His good days are numbered. In 11, he will begin a 12-year period of making bad movies to pay off his debts.

……

My understanding of love is: two people who don't know how to be alone together, escaping together. People say love is completely selfless giving. But if you think about it carefully, nothing is more selfish than love.

I love the way he looks at me when I look away. (Eva's line)
Looking ahead, ten or twenty years from now, you'll be married.

But your marriage has lost its passion. You've started blaming your husband and reminiscing about all the men you've met in your life, and I'm one of those men you're thinking about. Imagine this as a time travel, from then until now.

Let's review the meeting; did we miss anything?

And I, the pitfall will be the one you miss...

I think it's very real.

Everything is fleeting.

But don't you think that it is precisely because of this that we have time and special moments in life, and cherish them all the more?
• To each other, we are both monsters and angels.

We do not own each other; we are merely passersby in each other's lives.

However, we have our own memories and emotions...

……

As Liu Jin got into the zone, the filming went more and more smoothly.

Those lines were originally written by Liu Jin.

He didn't feel anything when he was writing it, but after those lines came out of his mouth, the more he thought about them, the worse they seemed.

That's utter garbage!
But Eva got completely absorbed in the role.

Emmanuelle and Isabelle Adjani were watching from behind the monitor, their faces streaming with tears.

David Lynch also expressed his appreciation.

That's right, David Lynch didn't leave!
Every day after filming ended, this guy would drag Liu Jin along to talk about the plot of "The Island," seriously interfering with Liu Jin and Eva's time together.

It even affected Liu Jin's writing.

But Liu Jin couldn't get rid of him.

Because this guy really put in the effort!

He instructed Adjani on how to adjust the camera angles, the lighting colors, and how to control the pacing of the plot.

This benefited Isabelle Adjani greatly.

The old man does have some skill when it comes to filmmaking.

And so, the days flew by.

Originally, Adjani had prepared to shoot until April.

But as Liu Jin found his rhythm and Eva got into character, the filming became smoother and faster.

They walked through the streets and alleys of Vienna.

She completed one brilliant shot after another with remarkable naturalness. Finally, after Liu Jin and Eva made their six-month promise on camera, Adjani announced the end of filming, which was met with cheers from the crew.

Overall, the filming went fairly smoothly.

Except for the time Liu Jin wasted getting into the zone, the rest was basically done in one go.

Emmanuel even persuaded Liu Jin to become an actor.

Liu Jin angrily said, "If I become an actor, literature lovers all over the world will lose a great writer."

"Does being an actor affect your writing?"

"How could it not affect me? If it weren't for filming, I would have already finished my graduation thesis."

Then came a string of terms like "big short sellers" and "the impact on the financial market," leaving the crew members speechless.

Eva smiled and asked, "Have you figured out how you're going to write your paper?"

"Ok!"

What are you planning to write?

"EUR!"

"what?"

"This is the name used to describe the impact of the introduction of the euro on the European financial structure."

Liu Jin chuckled and said, "You know, from the time I came to France until now, I have witnessed the entire process of changes in European currencies."

I still have some thoughts on this.

"I thought you were thinking about stories all the time."

"I am thinking about it, and I've thought about it a lot..."

Eva jumped onto his back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and shook him vigorously.

"Amos, I really want to cut your head open and examine it closely to see what's inside."

"Brain matter, brain matter, blood and blood vessels..."

"what!"

Eva laughed and punched Liu Jin hard.

Her relationship with Liu Jin is now common knowledge among everyone on the set.

Liu Jin had no intention of hiding it, and neither did Eva.

Furthermore, many people already know that Eva Longoria has signed with Leonardo DiCaprio's Scatterlight agency and is about to audition for the film "Closer," produced by Matt Damon. Matt Damon will be the lead actor.

Go work with Jason Bourne!

If word gets out, I wonder how many people will be envious.

What they didn't know was that before Matt Damon left, he had privately spoken with Liu Jin about trying to get Eva into the cast of "The Bourne Legacy." It wouldn't be a lead or supporting role, but a third or fourth female lead role wouldn't be a problem.

So, can anyone tell me who the fourth female lead in The Bourne 2 is?

……

After filming wraps up, Isabelle Adjani will return to France to rest.

Emmanuel, on the other hand, was going to take Eva and the crew back to America.

Liu Jin, on the other hand, planned to return to Toulouse.

After all, I have a niece over there, and I need to go back and check on her to feel at ease.

They agreed to meet in Los Angeles and then went their separate ways.

Liu Jinxian and Adjani flew back to Paris, and then directly transferred to another flight from Paris back to Toulouse.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye!
I don't know what my home looks like now.

It was evening when the plane landed.

Liu Jin hailed a taxi and went straight home.

It was almost ten o'clock when I got home.

Today is Wednesday, Qianqian should be at school.

Eva the Tanuki, Julie, and Adrian were at Ottilie's place, so the yard was quiet when he opened the door.

The room, however, was pitch black.

Liu Jin walked into the house and threw his backpack on the sofa.

He was indeed quite tired from all the running around, so he closed the door and went upstairs.

He took off his coat as he walked.

As soon as he pushed open the bedroom door, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

However, before he could react, he felt something hit him hard on the back of the head.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a sharp pain in his head, his vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.

In the brief moment before he lost consciousness, he vaguely heard someone shout in terror, "Six jin!"
