I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 405 All kinds of charm
"Hey, Naomi, come in."

Liu Jin looked up and waved to Naomi, who was standing outside the door.

"The door is not closed."

Upon hearing this, Naomi pushed open the small door.

"Isn't it hot in the garden?"

"Ha, not bad. If it had been a month earlier, I probably wouldn't have been able to handle it."

"That's true. July is the brightest time of year in the Adriatic Sea. Most people might not be able to withstand it."

"any drinks?"

"casual."

Liu Jin got up and went inside, taking two bottles of Estathe tea from the refrigerator.

Peach juice or lemon juice?

"Peach juice, please."

Liu Jin handed the peach juice to Naomi and casually twisted open the lemon-flavored one in his hand.

This is a tea from Ferrero, made with Sri Lankan black tea as a base and fruit juice. Most of it is very sweet, but the lemon flavor is relatively refreshing. It's also a very popular and well-known drink in Italy.

However, Liu Jin's favorite flavor is mint.

Unfortunately, this flavor won't be available until 2014; it's not currently on the market.

"I came to see you yesterday!"

"what?"

"I heard noises inside the house, but there was no response."

What you said makes me very embarrassed!
Liu Jin had a blank expression on his face.

"I drank too much yesterday and have no recollection of it at all."

Yes, there is!
Someone did knock on the door, but he didn't pay attention. Adjani didn't make a sound, and the two of them even felt a little excited.

Naomi rolled her eyes and didn't say anything more.

How about grabbing a drink tonight?

"Drinking again!"

"is it not OK?"

"Haha, of course."

Liu Jin thought about it and decided it didn't really matter.

As long as we don't mess things up like we did yesterday, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"You saw O'Barry yesterday?"

"Yes!"

"I'm curious what you talked to him about. As far as I know, you don't seem to be an animal rights activist."

O'Barry is currently blacklisted by many organizations, and getting too close to him could have negative consequences for you.

"I asked him to go to Taiji to investigate something."

"what?"

"The world's largest dolphin slaughterhouse."

Naomi looked confused, not quite understanding what Liu Jin meant.

"Hehe, just adding a little trouble to my life."

Now that you put it that way, I understand!

Naomi suddenly realized.

Everyone in the world knows that Liu Jin has two major enemies.

One is a simple life, the other is a small stick.

The little girl even issued him death threats...tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about it is exciting.

As for the Koreans, it seems they have already included Liu Jin on their most unpopular list and are boycotting all his works.

Don't you think it's a pity?

"What's a pity?"

"I've heard that the Korean market is doing well."

"A bunch of guys who go around stealing culture, I never thought about their market."

"Stealing culture?"

"Yes, taking someone else's culture and claiming it as their own... Don't laugh, maybe one day they'll even say that Jesus and the Virgin Mary were Korean. And their market? I don't believe they can resist it."

"What do you mean?"

“Naomi, my English-language works are all published by America’s top publishers.”

Naomi understands!

She covered her mouth and giggled.

"Amos, you are truly shameless."

"Look, this sentence is not expressed correctly. It should be 'Borrowing power of the strong,' which in Chinese is 'hu jia hu wei.'"

“hu jia hu wei? What does that mean?”

"The first 'hu' means 'fox,' and the second 'hu' means 'tiger.'"

"I understand, it's the fox taking advantage of the tiger's power, right?"

She suddenly smiled and said, "So, you're a fox!"

It may sound a bit awkward, but... that's right!
Now, he wants to be that cunning fox, using America's influence to open up the market for small businesses and Korean products.

Over the next twenty years, you could say America is weakening, or you could say they are collapsing.

But one thing must be acknowledged: America has always maintained its domineering presence around the world.

As for China...

It's truly powerful!

However, the policy and mindset of being strong but not domineering means that Chinese people will continue to be discriminated against and bullied.

Even in the country, it's the same.

After all, this world is a hunting ground where the strong prey on the weak.

Even when lions and tigers are old and frail, hyenas dare not provoke them.

Elephants may look strong, but they are still often targeted by hyenas... The sword must be drawn; only when it draws blood will it have a deterrent effect.

The world was in an uproar after the J-10 shot down the Rafale fighter jet.

Before that, no matter how well the publicity was done, no one was willing to pay attention.

A strong body needs a strong spirit to guide it; otherwise, who will respect you?

……

We've gone off on a tangent again!

Are you writing a new book?

"Ok!"

"Why do you always have so many inspirations?" Liu Jin thought for a moment, then laughed and said, "Because I'm poor!"

"what?"

"Because we are poor, we must work even harder."

"Are you still poor? Forbes..."

"But that was last year. This year, I am very poor, and I have to work twice as hard."

"Okay, you've made me feel a little ashamed!"

Naomi smiled wryly and shook her head.

She only has two films this year: one is "21 Grams" with Sean Penn, which is the film being screened at this year's Venice Film Festival; the other is "Love Never Comes Back" with Mark Ruffalo, which is expected to be released next year.

Who is Mark Ruffalo?
Yes, the Hulk Banner, and Rhodes, the FBI agent from Now You See Me.

However, Liu Jin prefers the movie he filmed with Meg Ryan this year, "Nude Cutting"...hehe, Meg Ryan has some...things in it.

A horror film with explicit sexual content.

Someone who earns over 100 million US dollars a year still works so hard.

Her income last year was less than three million, and she seems to be getting a little complacent!
No, I need to go back and study the script.

Next year, she will also be collaborating with Sean Penn on a biographical film, "The Assassination of Nixon".

It will be launched at the end of the year or the beginning of the next.

"I'm going back to read the script."

"Won't you stay a little longer?"

"No, I feel a bit pressured in your presence."

Naomi stood up as she spoke.

When are you leaving?

"Six o'clock, how about that?"

She frowned and said, "So early?"

"Hmm, I'd like to experience the Sunset Roller Coaster at dusk."

"what?"

"A cocktail that the bartender says is best enjoyed at dusk."

"So, this is the writer's romance?"

"Hahaha, that's about right."

Naomi smiled, shook her head, and left.

Liu Jin sat in the garden, a sea breeze blowing, and a refreshing fragrance floated in the air.

Gardenia perfume!

Liu Jin sniffed; it was Naomi's scent.

It should be a perfume from the KAI brand.

This perfume is a very artistic and niche fragrance.

The top notes are very pure; when you first spray it on, it's a pure gardenia scent, very natural.

Many people may not like it, but don't worry...

This perfume has a long-lasting scent. When you first spray it on, it doesn't seem particularly special. But as time goes by, the fragrance becomes more and more pleasant, giving you a relaxing feeling. It's not flashy, but it has a very artistic vibe.

No wonder he seemed a little distracted just now.

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head, finished his drink, lit a cigarette, and continued typing.

After writing for two hours, I finally finished the opening.

It's been so long since I've written anything, I'm a bit rusty!
So, if you don't write for a day, your writing skills will become rusty; if you don't write for a month, your mind will become dull.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Jin closed his laptop and went into his room.

What was Naomi's room number again?

She said it yesterday!

2017.
I remembered.

Liu Jin then dialed Naomi's room number.

"Naomi, let's drink!"

"wait for me!"

Naomi responded immediately.

Liu Jin then took out a set of clothes from his suitcase and changed into them.

The beach outfit I wore yesterday smelled a bit like alcohol, so I had the hotel send it to be cleaned at noon.

Before leaving, I sprayed on some of Diaopai's Arrogant Cologne, combed my hair, and then walked out of the room.

Naomi changed into a pair of hot pants.

Very short!

She wore a cropped tank top that perfectly accentuated her beautiful curves.

"Hey, Amos, where are you going?"

"follow me!"

The two walked out side by side, attracting a lot of attention.

"Director Xu, it's Mr. Amos!"

In a corner of the lobby, Lin Jiaxin and Liu Ye were chatting with a middle-aged woman.

The woman glanced at Liu Jin, smiled, and shook her head: "This guy really does have a constant stream of women around him."

Yesterday he was completely drunk with director Isabelle Adjani, and today he's dragging Naomi along. Heh heh, Eva Green and Emmanuelle should be here tomorrow too. I wonder what kind of gossip will arise from four women meeting like this… heh heh, that'll be interesting.”

"How can a man be so promiscuous?"

Liu Ye couldn't help but complain, his eyes filled with envy.

"Maybe it's just normal interaction? Big Liu, don't talk nonsense."

"Hey, hey, hey, what did I say?"

Liu Ye looked completely bewildered.

Su Jin, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but laugh.

It seems like Karena is a bit...

Karena is Lin Jiaxin.

Liu Ye was rebuffed, but didn't seem to care much.

"That guy seems to have a piece selected too, but he doesn't seem nervous at all?"

Xu Anhua thought for a moment and then laughed, “What is he nervous about? He’s not an actor by profession; acting is more of a hobby for him.”

Our situation is different from his. He's already achieved great success, the only Chinese person to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature in its 86-year history—that's already impressive! To be honest, the Golden Lion or the Silver Lion probably don't mean much to him.
