I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 356 Return
Méla was very confident in her book, *The Hunchback of Notre Dame*.

Or rather, she had complete confidence in Liu Jin.

"The Wind-Up Bird" is good, but it doesn't seem to fit Singer's style quite well.

Moreover, after two years of development, Singer is also adjusting his approach and has begun to filter the styles of his works.

For example, Ottilie's trip to Marseille was to solicit manuscripts from a writer named Christian Garzán of the Ming Cult.

He majored in literature at Aix-Marseille University.

In 2000, "The Flight of the Homing Pigeon" won the Hotari Society French Literature Prize.

The homing pigeon series has now sold 300,000 copies.

Uh, three years!

But this achievement is enough to make him a bestselling author.

Ottilie's visit was for his new book, "I'm Growing Up".

However, this book is not yet finished and is still being written.

But Ottilie really liked his writing style and had already decided to sign the book.

At the same time, Garsan's travelogues, essays, and poems are also highly accomplished.

Mehran had read his travelogues and essays; they were in a very elegant and light style, making them very suitable for publication.

This time, Singra plans to compile Garsan's poems, essays, and travelogues into a book.

After all, poetry is still very popular in France!
……

I stayed in Paris for three days.

During that time, I also visited Isabelle Adjani.

Juliette Binoche?

Adjani thought for a moment, but couldn't think of many more suitable candidates.

As Sophie said, there are indeed very few actresses born in the 60s and 70s who are Jewish or of Jewish descent and who also have the ability to draw in audiences at the box office. And actresses born in the 70s are even rarer.

"You could try contacting her..."

Oh, right, I just remembered someone. She's the right age, but her acting skills are definitely not as good as Juliet's.

"Who?"

"Jennifer Connelly, ever heard of her?"

"A beautiful mind?"

"Yes, it's him... the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress last year."

Moreover, she's a bit difficult.

Is this a bit tricky?

What do you mean?
However, Liu Jin needs to figure that out for himself.

Isabelle Adjani certainly wouldn't explain it very clearly.

Jennifer Connelly!

Liu Jin silently memorized the name.

After visiting Isabelle Adjani, Liu Jin boarded a flight to Los Angeles.

After a ten-hour flight, he landed in Los Angeles again.

This time, no one came to pick him up.

Eva passed the audition for "Closer Brothers" and began preparing for her new film.

The three rascals, Leonardo DiCaprio, are all busy with their own things.

The 75th Academy Awards ceremony will be held at the Kodak Theatre on March 23.

Everyone is busy preparing for the Oscars and there's simply no time to spare.

Liu Jin understood, so he didn't contact anyone.

He hailed a taxi at the airport and headed straight for Beverly Hills.

He will be staying at Sophie Marceau's villa for the next few days, and then he will head to New York to prepare for a period of seclusion to write his dissertation.

Over there, there's Wall Street!

Some data are hard to explain, but if you attribute it to Wall Street, all the problems can be solved.

Sophie's villa was very clean.

After Liu Jin moved in, he contacted Emmanuel.

As it turned out, Emmanuel wasn't in Los Angeles, but was visiting the set in Canada.

"If you need a car, you can use mine. You have the key and password for my car, and the Ford you used to drive is also in the garage..."

"I will!"

Liu Jin didn't stand on ceremony.

After talking with Emmanuel, he thought for a moment and then made another phone call.

"Mr. Zhang, I am Liu Jin."

"Oh, Mr. Liu, have you come to America?"

"Yes, I just arrived today, but I'll be going to New York soon."

How have you been lately? Has your period still been bothering you?

"Of course, how could they possibly give up?"

Nanjing is a crime they will never admit. However, the situation is much better than before; many Chinese organizations here have provided me with a lot of help and protection. They won't be able to harass me for the time being.

And I'm currently in Boston, writing "A History of Chinese Laborers in America".

Mr. Liu, sometimes I really envy you, having so many ingenious ideas and extraordinary creative energy.

"In trouble?"

"I need more information, but unfortunately some libraries here are starting to restrict me."

"A comfortable life?"

"Yes, they donated a lot of money to some schools. Although those schools didn't refuse me, they reduced my access privileges. I guess those little devils probably thought that my book was still about their affairs."

"Of course they are afraid."

Liu Jin smiled and said, "Do you need my help?"

"Not for now... Although they lowered my access level, I contacted some local Chinese scholars who granted me their reading access. It's a bit troublesome, but nothing to worry about. Mr. Liu, you should be careful."

"What do you mean?"

"The storm has passed, they will definitely retaliate against you."

"I understand! Thank you."

After talking with Mr. Zhang for a while, I confirmed that her emotions were currently stable.

Liu Jin felt much more at ease.

Recently, some articles criticizing America have started appearing.

For example, in "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle," some media outlets believe that Leonardo DiCaprio and his co-stars were acting in collaboration with Lau Chun.

Fortunately, Random House didn't care at all and directly announced that "The Wind-Up Bird" would be released in the United States in early June.

As long as Liu Jin continues to produce works, there is nothing to fear.

They dared not be too assertive, because many victim organizations had begun to keep a close eye on them, eyeing them covetously.

No, we can't let them be so comfortable.

We have to keep criticizing!
Liu Jin lay on the waterbed in the swimming pool, pondering how to begin.

Shall we bring out Full Metal Jacket?
All-metal hull and the Battle of Iwo Jima...

Perhaps the name "all-metal casing" is no longer quite appropriate.

It would be best to change your name.

He closed his eyes and began to imagine the plot of the heavily modified version of "Full Metal Jacket".

Amidst the smoke and fire of war, the soldier who emerged from the officer training school has transformed into a bloodthirsty beast.

The recording of the Emperor announcing the defeat echoed through the dense forests of Iwo Jima.

The soldier suddenly turned around.

Pairs of cold, ferocious eyes, gleaming with a blood-red light, resembled the eyes of ferocious beasts.

"The Eye of the Ferocious Beast"?
Liu Jin suddenly shivered.

Before he knew it, he fell into the water with a splash.

Liu Jin popped his head out of the pool and shouted excitedly.

The Most Brutal Beast's Eyes
The eyes of the most ferocious beasts.

It can also be understood as the eyes of an absolute ferocious beast.

Liu Jin climbed out of the pool, ignoring the water on his body, and rushed into the room barefoot.

He took out his notebook, wrote the name in it, and then a pleased smile appeared on his face.
