I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 402 Unspoken Rules!
"Hey, Isabel, long time no see!"

Liu Jin hugged Isabelle and smiled, saying, "You're still so beautiful."

"Oh ho, Amos, you're still as good at talking as ever."

Adjani's eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she smiled.

"Just arrived?"

"Yes, if I hadn't run into Miss Naomi Watts along the way, I probably would still be wandering around the city like a headless fly."

"Naomi, she's here too?"

Adjani said with a smile, "But you're really lucky, you ran into your old flame as soon as you arrived."

"Adjani, I've spent even less time with Miss Watts than you have?"

So, would you like to see me often?

Adjani chuckled and said, "I'm fine with it, but I'm worried that Sophie and Béa might cause you trouble."

"Forehead……"

Liu Jin was speechless.

At the same time, my heart was pounding.

You have to admit, some people's charm cannot be diminished by time.

Isabelle Adjani is a perfect example.

She's over forty, forty-five!
But he always gives people the feeling of being in his twenties.

A fairy that even time cannot defy!

"Have you booked your room yet?"

"It's ready!"

"which room?"

"I asked them to give me a room with a garden on the first floor."

"Ha, that's a great room. I wanted to apply for a garden room, but the hotel said they were all booked."

"We can switch."

"Then forget it, my current room is fine."

Ajani accompanied Liu Jin to the door of the guest room.

Opening the door, you'll find a suite of about 80 square meters.

The facilities are a bit old, but they are very well maintained, giving them a medieval atmosphere reminiscent of the 18th century.

The most distinctive feature of this room is that it has a private garden.

Passing through the garden, you'll find yourself on a golden beach.

This beach is privately owned by the hotel, offering excellent privacy.

At this time, the setting sun cast its rays, and there were many tourists on the beach.

"It's mostly people from the film crew, but it's okay for now. In a few days, it will become very lively here."

Isabelle Adjani sat in a wicker chair in the garden, looking at the beach in the distance.

It must be very lively over there, but the garden is very quiet.

The interplay of movement and stillness created a contradictory yet harmonious atmosphere, which Liu Jin found quite peculiar.

A room rate of 2,800 euros per day is indeed a great deal.

Compared to the exorbitant housing prices in Cannes and Berlin, which often reach thousands or tens of thousands, Liu Jin felt that Venice offered better value for money.

Liu Jin took two bottles of ice water from the refrigerator, sat down in the rattan chair, and handed one bottle to Ajani.

"Why did you come here so early?"

"Tom and Monty came together. You know, once they got here, they couldn't have frequent contact anymore."

"Monty?"

Liu Jin knew who Tom was—just an unlucky cat!
Hehe, just kidding.

Tom Rothman, president of Searchlight.

But which one is Monty?

He really didn't know.

Didn't you look at the brochure?

Isabelle Adjani picked up a brochure for this year's Venice Film Festival from the round table and handed it to Liu Jin.

"Monty Montegmeri, a member of the jury, you should know him too."

He starred in Mulholland Drive and is an American actress and producer.

He's not particularly famous, but he has a lot of work to his name. By the way, he has a very good relationship with director David Lynch; you could ask him about it.

"Lin Qi?"

Liu Jin said, "He's a very busy man right now, preparing for the film crew."

"Yeah, I heard he raised $80 million in investment and is filming... By the way, 'Escape from the Clone Island' was your idea, right?" "Yes!"

"This guy is really lucky."

Adjani's face showed envy.

The sea breeze blew from the direction of the beach, ruffling her hair.

That delicate, doll-like face possessed a unique beauty in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Am I fucking crazy?!

Liu Jin began to murmur in his heart.

This woman is forty-five years old, how can she still be so alluring?

Thinking of this, Liu Jin gulped down a large mouthful of water...

Tom is looking for Monty... Oh ho!

He wanted to change the subject and suppress his romantic thoughts.

But he realized what he was saying halfway through.

Isabelle Adjani laughed and said, "The awards at film festivals are never won on the film festival itself; the real competition happens outside of the film festival."

Tom was surprised that "Before Sunrise" was selected.

It's said that Mario Mocellini was particularly interested, which is why... Tom contacted Monty immediately after learning about it. Unfortunately, there are too few Americana elements at this year's film festival; so far, they can only secure Monty's vote.

"Perhaps there's one more vote, Xu Anhua."

"Yes, she is Chinese."

Mario Mocellini is the president of the jury at this year's film festival.

There were six judges, with Xu Anhua and Monty each holding one seat.

"No, you should also be quite familiar with Pierre Zulivi."

"Haha, we've worked together before. But if we're talking about familiarity, Béart should be more familiar with me; they worked together on 'The Three Musketeers'."

"The fourth vote."

The remaining three judges were Italian actor Stefano Accossi; German photographer Michael Bauhaus; and Spanish actor and producer Assumpta Cerna.

To be honest, the jury at this year's Venice Film Festival was rather lackluster.

Besides Xu Anhua, Liu Jin was only somewhat familiar with Mocellini.

other people……

This is the first time I've heard of any of these things.

The public relations efforts at the Venice Film Festival are no less shady than those at the Oscars.

However, regardless of the film festival, its public relations efforts take place outside the festival itself, not within it.

Liu Jin said, "By the way, which award should we aim for this time, before dawn?"

"Best Picture!"

Is there any chance?

Adjani thought for a moment and smiled, "I'm not sure, but since Tom is aiming for Best Picture, he should have a good chance."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin nodded thoughtfully.

Next, let's see how the transaction works.

"Oh, by the way, Tom's having a cocktail party tonight, wanna go?"

"Me? I think I'll pass. I have something else to do; I already have an appointment with someone."

Naomi?

Liu Jin shook his head with a smile and said, "Ajani, you've hurt me so much. How come in your eyes I'm just a guy who can't live without women?"

"Is not it?"

Adjani laughed.

Liu Jin rolled his eyes.

"I've made plans with Richard O'Barry!"

As he spoke, he glanced down at his Patek Philippe watch and said, "Perfect timing, it's about time, I have to go."

"Richard 1 O'Barry?"

Adjani was taken aback, then asked, "How did you get involved with him?"

"how?"

"That guy is a big problem!"

Adjani stood up and said, "How about this, I'll go with you."
