I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 372 Everyone seems to be very busy!

Chapter 372 Everyone seems to be very busy!
My older brother has been in Los Angeles recently.

Yes, prepare a birthday party for his wife.

Therefore, he has been paying close attention to the commotion Liu Jin has been causing lately.

In particular, Liu Jin mentioned the beliefs of the Chinese people and their ancestors in his Pulitzer Prize acceptance speech...

It left a deep impression on him.

So when he heard that Liu Jin would be coming over to film "The Hangover," he took the initiative to come and congratulate him.

He's currently very popular in America.

Therefore, Little Li and his group were very welcoming to Big Brother Cheng's arrival.

Looking at the young man in front of him, who was only seven years older than his son, Brother Cheng had an indescribable feeling.

With his help, his son joined the cast of "The Twins Effect 2" this year.

But Liu Jin had already built a powerful empire in Europe and America through his own abilities, which made his elder brother Cheng truly envious.

They know best what's going on in their own lives.

Brother Cheng knows all too well what the situation is like for Chinese people in Hollywood.

Despite the huge success of "Rush Hour 2", he has a strong sense of crisis.

Subsequent films like "The Tuxedo" performed poorly, and "Royal Dragon," released at the beginning of the year, also received a lukewarm reception and performed poorly at the box office.

In August, he also has another film, "The Medallion," that he is preparing to shoot.

Next year, he will collaborate with Steve Coogan to film a movie based on Jules Verne's science fiction novel, *Around the World in Eighty Days*. It looks glamorous, but the older brother has a sense of things being overheated and unprepared.

There has been no news about "Rush Hour 3" yet.

It gave him a bad feeling.

The reason I took the initiative to meet with Liu Jin this time was that I hoped to find some new resources through him.

However, Liu Jin's respect for him made him very happy.

A Pulitzer Prize winner!

Even with Big Brother Cheng's status, he could still take it back and brag about it.

After all, that's the Pulitzer Prize for Literature!
……

Liu Jin was very polite!
Born in 1975, he practically grew up watching Jackie Chan's movies.

From the early days of video arcades to later videotapes, Big Brother Cheng's movies accompanied him as he grew up...

As for his romantic history or bad drinking habits, those don't count as anything.

Among the many movie stars in Hong Kong, Jackie Chan is a very steadfast one, holding his position very firmly.

This alone was enough to earn Liu Jin's respect.

As for his achievements...

No more water!

What does it really matter what happens in your crotch?
Liu Jin himself sometimes can't control himself.

"Amos!"

Director Todd Phillips beckoned Liu Jin over, saying that the first shot of the day would begin with the engagement ceremony.

Ironically, Leonardo DiCaprio managed to get Todd Phillips to direct the film.

This is also the director of the original timeline of "The Hangover".

In 2003, Todd was just a newcomer in his early thirties.

He's not exactly a newcomer; he had already filmed two comedy movies before this.

Leonardo DiCaprio contacted Todd in early March.

He had just finished filming the movie "The Singles Club".

After reading the script for The Hangover, Todd had a feeling that "this is the one for me."

He accepted the invitation at the end of March and completed the preparations for the production within a month...

Actually, he doesn't need to worry too much.

Leonardo DiCaprio and his team have plenty of funds, and all he has to do is thoroughly understand the script.

This guy worked so hard that he forgot to eat and sleep, and even Leonardo DiCaprio had to praise Todd Phillips' dedication.

Of course, compared to Todd when he directed "The Hangover" in the original timeline, the current Todd is very inexperienced.

But that's okay. He has the best production crew, the most abundant funds, and the best actors, which is enough.

Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays the groom Doug in the original film, actually has very little screen time. He first films the engagement and wedding ceremonies in Los Angeles, then goes to Las Vegas with Leonardo DiCaprio and the others to film a few more scenes, and that's basically it. He doesn't need much acting skill; Liu Jin just needs to play himself.

Moreover, after receiving guidance from the group of people working on "Before Sunrise," Liu Jin became much more at ease and comfortable.

However, every time he was with Kate, he would wink at Leonardo DiCaprio, which annoyed DiCaprio quite a bit.

Kate was very cooperative.

This made the eldest brother, who was observing on the first day, sigh inwardly: Amos's connections...

He marveled at how well Xiao Li and his group accepted Liu Jin.

These are not unknown figures; any one of them could easily carry a Hollywood box office.

Even the eldest brother, Cheng, felt pressured when facing them.

I doubt Liu Jin could manage to film with Leonardo DiCaprio and the others in such a playful and lighthearted manner.

It's not that it's difficult, it's that it's simply impossible.

He was the main character in Rush Hour, but they brought in a hater instead.

After the two films were completed, the black guy seemed to want to take over the male lead role, which made the 3rd installment of the saga extremely difficult.

If he could interact with those people in Hollywood like Liu Jin does, he wouldn't have ended up like this!

Is there any possibility of collaborating with Amos?
A thought flashed through Big Brother Cheng's mind, and then it seemed to take root and sprout, growing wildly!
……

Liu Jin's filming went very smoothly.

The filming in Hollywood was completed in three days, after which the crew moved on to Las Vegas.

Then, in Las Vegas, it took another five days to complete filming all the shots.

Todd Phillips even felt that he could have more screen time.

Liu Jin firmly expressed his opposition!
He was getting annoyed.

"Are you really leaving?"

"I need to go back and prepare for my thesis defense."

"Okay, I was thinking of Eva and the others in a few days..."

"Give me a break. Don't even think about using Eva to seduce me. I'm completely unmoved right now. Getting back to school is the most important thing."

Seeing Liu Jin's resolute attitude, Xiao Li and the others did not try to stop him.

"By the way, will you be coming here again this year?"

"It's probably very difficult!"

Liu Jin thought for a moment and then extended his hand.

"The Da Vinci Code, Chicago, The Girl Who Plays with Fire, Inception..."

This is my plan for this year, and I haven't finished a single book yet.

And since I'll be starting school in the second half of the year, I probably won't be as carefree as I was in the first half. But you can come find me.

I have a small estate in Gruysand; I can host you there.

Matt Damon smiled wryly and said, "I don't think I'll have time. After 'My Bodyguard' ends, I'll be joining the cast of 'Mission: Impossible 2'."

"Me too, I want to join the cast of 'The Aviator'."

Kate also lamented, "Once this show ends, I'll be joining the cast of 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' right away."

"The one with Jim Carrey?"

"Yes."

Liu Jin laughed and said, "Remember to get me an autographed photo from him. I love The Truman Show."

"I will!"

"That's settled then, everyone get some rest."

I'm going back to Los Angeles early tomorrow morning, and then flying directly to Paris.

Everyone's so busy, which means everyone's career is on the rise, and that's a good thing. I'll be in Toulouse, waiting for you all to come visit me.

Several people laughed.
