I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 430 Nemo Disappeared?
I got my gun license!

This means Liu Jin can carry a gun at all times, increasing his future safety.
After obtaining his gun license, Liu Jin immediately went home and retrieved the pistol Chloe had given him from the storage room.

After that, there was nothing more for him to do.

……

Over the next month, Toulouse police conducted a large-scale crackdown on local refugees and gangs.

Before taking action, the attack on Chloe was broadcast to the media.

This is important!

As a result, some organizations have fallen silent and stopped making moves.

After all, in Europe at that time, while the Virgin Mary was indeed a saint, she hadn't yet reached that perverse level.

The far-left forces are still in their nascent stage of development and have not yet become a trend.

Many people will sympathize with NM.

But it's clear that NM's actions this time have affected their interests.

The plaintiff is a bank executive who acted in self-defense after being attacked, yet NM has sued him in court?
A retaliatory attack against the lawyer after the court verdict?
This is unacceptable to most people.

If lawyers and bank executives can be attacked today, will doctors and government employees also be attacked in the future?
If even these people have been attacked, what about teachers, businesspeople, and researchers?
These people are the backbone of France.

If their interests cannot be guaranteed, then the interests of ordinary people at the bottom of society are even more insecure.

Therefore, most people expressed their support after the Toulouse police launched their operation.

According to Abel, nearly 100 NMs who had arrived in Toulouse and were engaged in various criminal professions were arrested.

These people may be deported.

Or they could be imprisoned.

Several gangs were also eliminated in this cleanup operation.

Walking on the streets of Toulouse, the previous chaos has been greatly reduced.

But Liu Jin knew very well that this situation wouldn't last long.

NM will swarm into France like locusts.

The French government is powerless to do anything about it.

The only fortunate thing is that Emmanuel is no longer in France, otherwise he might have gotten involved again.

She has a kind heart!
Like many Chinese people, but simple kindness will not lead to good results.

As the old Chinese saying goes: "Building bridges and roads leaves no bones, while murder and arson bring wealth."

In any case, Liu Jin will not get involved!

……

Life seems to have returned to normal.

After agreeing to Liu Jin's suggestion, J.K. Rowling's team quickly reached a cooperation agreement with The Times.

Liu Jin, on the other hand, initially chose the Humanitarian Daily.

But perhaps word got out, because one of the editors of Le Figaro contacted Meira.

Jean de Belot.

She hoped Liu Jin could publish the article in Le Figaro and offered a very generous fee.

After careful consideration, Mela decided to grant Bello's request.

Firstly, Le Figaro's influence and circulation far surpass those of L'Humanité.

Secondly, Liu Jin cannot rely on a single platform to voice his opinions.

Before winning the Pulitzer Prize and the Renaudot Prize, the size of L'Humanité was indeed enough to support Liu Jin.

but now……

J.K. Rowling chose The Times, a newspaper with global influence.

If Liu Jin chooses The Humanitarian, he is actually inferior to J.K. Rowling. Le Figaro is comparable to The Times.

The Humanitarian News also expressed its helplessness regarding this matter.

They did contact Liu Jin, but he refused, citing the excuse that he had "fully entrusted Mela with the authority."

Last year, The Humanitarian Daily gained great popularity with its "A Bite of China" series.

However, no follow-up was made.

Although Liu Jin was given many conveniences, in Europe and America, profit is the primary motivation.

If I bring you benefits but you don't give me any feedback, then I'm sorry, we'll have to reconsider our future cooperation.

In mid-November, Liu Jin published a review of Harry Potter in Le Figaro.

A week later, J.K. Rowling responded in The Times.

Neither side initially announced that it was a dialogue, so most people found it interesting.

But some people could still sense something was off.

So, I started paying attention to it.

Irene continued to make comments about Guillaume from time to time, while setting the publication date of her book, "The Man Who Disappears," for January 2nd.

The same day was the publication date of Guillaume's "Later...".

The strategy is clear: I'm targeting you.

This made the contest, which seemed somewhat inexplicable to most people, particularly eye-catching.

On one hand, there's an American writer who studied abroad for many years and is considered by publishers to be a new generation of French writers, comparable to Liu Jin.

The other is a rising star who has already achieved great success and set sales records.

What stories do these two artists tell?
Will a rising star writer be able to defeat the established powerhouse and stage a heroic dragon-slaying spectacle? Or will the dragon devour the hero and continue to wreak havoc on the literary world?

curious!

Want to see it!

This also made the book market in 2004 hot even before it arrived.

……

Liu Jin paid no attention to the disputes in the outside world.

It's still the same as before: school, library, home.

The only change is that he spends less time in the dormitory than before.

After all, we have pets at home.

On November 23, he took a leave of absence and went to Paris.

It wasn't about attending any event; rather, Leslie Cheung accompanied Anita Mui to France.

After Liu Jin picked them up, they stayed at his residence in Paris for a day before taking a train to Toulouse. Mei Gu looked to be in very poor condition.

A consultation was immediately conducted after the patient was admitted to the University Hospital of Toulouse.

To this end, Liu Jin used his connections to bring in Eva Comperat, a professor of medical oncology, from the Sorbonne University.

Accompanying them was a senior researcher from the Sorbonne University Center for Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine.

A Chinese person with extraordinary expertise in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.

Liu Binglin has made remarkable achievements in the fields of non-drug therapies in traditional Chinese medicine and comprehensive cancer rehabilitation.

The two came together because Liu Jin followed the path of Professor Carpenter, an expert in Alzheimer's disease research.

Previously, Liu Jin had met the Carpenters through writing the book "Father," and they had maintained contact for the past two years.

Anita Mui's condition is not optimistic.

Liu Jin couldn't help but blame Zhang Guorong, asking why it took so long to send it over.

Leslie Cheung expressed his helplessness.

Anita Mui's family...

That's why it took so long to get here.

"The situation is not optimistic and requires further observation."

Maintain a positive mood and try to avoid things that might upset you.

Leslie Cheung asked, "Can I take her to Glushang for recuperation? The environment there is very nice."

In fact, given Anita Mui's current condition, there is little point in her staying in the hospital.

Professor Compera believed that a good environment would be beneficial to the condition. After inquiring about Grusan's situation, she suggested that he could go there for recuperation.

In early December, after receiving permission from the hospital and doctors, Leslie Cheung took Anita Mui to Gleizan.

At that time, Mei Gu will stay at his residence in Grysant.

He will also stay in Grysanthem to take care of Mei Gu.

She comes to the hospital for a check-up once a month; the rest is up to Anita Mui herself!

Liu Jin calculated the time; in the original timeline, Mei Gu passed away at the end of this year. He wondered if things would be different in this lifetime.

After all, my brother is still alive.

From He Meigu's conversation, one can sense that she may be desperate, but she is not in a hopeless situation.

Hopefully, the new environment and old friends will make her stronger.

The rest is up to her!
Liu Jin did not take Mei Gu to Gleusang.

He lent Kasimi's Z8 to his brother so they could get around.

Kasimi's Z8 has now been transferred to Liu Jin's name.

He changed cars, got a Ferrari Enzo, and the Z8 was phased out.

Liu Jin casually bought it for 10,000 euros.

He also has a Z8, but he's currently in Paris and just came out of the repair shop...

……

With everything arranged, Liu Jin continued his seclusion and writing.

On December 10th, "Inception" was finally completed after two months and 400,000 words.

Meanwhile, V for Vendetta is also coming to an end.

But for some reason, Liu Jin always felt that something was missing.

Can not remember!

He organized the Inception manuscript and sent it to Sengoku, Ottilie, and Leonardo DiCaprio...

One more copy of "The Da Vinci Code" is missing!
To be honest, Liu Jin is finding it hard to write anymore.

I feel like I've been so busy all year that my motivation to write has decreased a lot.

But the Da Vinci Code definitely needs to be written down.

He wanted to write not only the Da Vinci Code, but also Angels and Demons, and the Dante Code.

That's all money!

After submitting the manuscript, he drove to JM Video Rental Store, hoping to find a couple of lighthearted movies to relax.

Hmm, Toy Story is a good choice!
The Lion King is also good.

Perhaps he was too tired from writing Inception, so he lacked interest in live-action films and only wanted to watch some movies with a childlike feel.

Spirited Away...

Although I've watched it many times, I still want to watch it again.

Slow!

When Liu Jin took the Toy Story videotape down, he suddenly stopped.

Toy Story?
Why haven't I seen the animated film "Finding Nemo"?

Oh right, this animated film seems to have been released this year... but I don't recall ever seeing it!

He processed the rental record for the videotape and drove home.

I turned on my computer and searched for information about Finding Nemo...

No, not a single piece of information!

Original Timeline, this animated film will be released in May, produced by Walt Disney and Pixar Animation.

But neither Pixar nor Disney has any information about this project.

So, Nemo disappeared?
Liu Jin sat in front of the computer, staring blankly into space!

This spacetime has become chaotic.

Hugo, Dickens, Dan Brown...

Some things can be looked up, but for others, you won't know what they're like until you reach that point.

For example, when he discovered he could draw comics, he immediately thought of two movies, like "Finding Nemo".

One is Sheriff Woody and Buzz Lightyear, and the other is Nemo.

Unfortunately, Toy Story 1 was released in 1995.

Finding Nemo, on the other hand, was released this year.

Now that Nemo is gone, doesn't that mean another huge revenue stream? Finding Nemo's global box office was close to a billion, while Finding Nemo 2 surpassed a billion. It's a pity there are only two films! But Liu Jin definitely won't let this opportunity slip by!
