I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 487 Coming in droves
Liu Xiaoli hung up the phone and began to make plans in her mind.

My daughter is doing very well!
She already has several works in hand.

In addition, two movies will be released this year: "Mayday" and "Love Winner".

Although the response was lukewarm, it was a solid step towards the film industry.

Next, "Chinese Paladin" will be released in January, and it's unknown how well it will perform. She doesn't ask for anything else; if it can achieve the same success as "The Story of a Noble Family," she'll have secured her place in the industry. She needs more resources and connections.

A certain godfather?
It's not that I didn't put my heart into it.

To be honest, the foundation is a bit shallow.

He also has very little access to truly large resources.

For example, in this year's film "Life Is Beautiful," she also sought out her godfather.

But they completely ignored it!

Liu Jin is not short of money, and Mo Ying will not care about a real estate developer like you.

To put it bluntly, you can only create some opportunities in Beijing's elite circles by throwing money at them, but you won't encounter any truly big opportunities!

The waters run even deeper in the Beijing entertainment circle!
Old Ann and that Amos seem to have a good relationship.

And that Mr. Liu seems to have good relationships with the Beijing, Shanghai, and even Hong Kong social circles.

Most importantly, he also has connections in European circles and Hollywood...

You can tell by looking at the level they're at!

He chatted and laughed with Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui; he seemed to have a relationship with Jackie Chan; in Europe, he was able to become a judge, not to mention in Hollywood, where he and a few friends pulled off a blockbuster that grossed over a billion dollars.

They joked and teased each other.

He has a close relationship with Spielberg.

They have a partnership with Warner and a good relationship with Universal.

Woody Allen, David Lynch, Isabelle Adjani...

These resources are so enviable.

It's just that its reputation isn't very good!

He's a womanizer, a womanizer, and has a bunch of girlfriends; he's the same type of person as Leonardo DiCaprio.

Aunt Liu knew that Mr. An and Liu Jin were in contact.

Actually, I had thought several times about using Mr. An as a connection to get in touch with Liu Jin.

But when I think about someone's reputation...

I have a feeling that I'm like a lamb being led into the jaws of a tiger.

but……

She glanced at her daughter, who was filming, and frowned slightly.

In my heart, I've already made up my mind!

She took out her phone and dialed a number.

"Producer Zhang, I am Liu Xiaoli, Yifei's mother."

"Well, there's something I'd like to discuss with you… Amos, you know him, right? He's the producer who filmed 'Life Is Beautiful' in Shanghai this year. He formed a band with Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, and Maggie Cheung, and they're going to perform at the M6 ​​New Year's Eve concert in France on December 31st. Yes, yes, that's Amos."

Liu Xiaoli decided to take advantage of the situation.

"My ex-husband, who is Yifei's father, had a very good relationship with Mr. Amos."

He just called me and said that Mr. Amos invited Yifei to the New Year's Eve party, which made me a little worried that it might delay the filming here.

"Okay, okay, thank you so much!"

"Yes, yes, I will talk to Yifei's father about this."

“Okay, we’ll rush back after the New Year’s Eve party… mainly because Yifei hasn’t seen her dad in a long time.”

First of all, Mr. An, the bearded man won't even acknowledge him.

But if you bring up Liu Jin first, Big Beard will have to think about it.

Although it wasn't widely circulated, Big Beard was someone in this circle, so he naturally knew about it.

Moreover, Liu Jin's connections in Hollywood and Europe are resources that many people in the domestic film and television industry covet.

However, the companies they deal with are either China Film Group or Magic Film Group.

These are resources that ordinary people simply cannot access...

The bearded man was also very envious!

After finishing the call with the bearded man, I saw my daughter skipping and hopping over to me.

"Mom, I'm thirsty!"

Liu Xiaoli immediately handed over the thermos, and watching her daughter sip the water, she suddenly asked, "Do you miss your dad?"

Tianxian raised her head and looked at Aunt Liu with a puzzled expression.

"Your dad just called and asked me to ask you if you want to see a show."

"What show?"

The seventeen-year-old fairy looked bewildered.

"Do you remember when we had dinner with Mr. Ren in Shanghai, they mentioned Amos?"

"Of course I remember, I'm a fan of his!"

“Your dad knows Amos… He formed a band with Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung, and a French pop star named Jessie, and they will be performing at the New Year’s Eve party in France this year. Your dad can arrange for you to meet him.”

"really?"

The celestial being's eyes widened, revealing a strange expression.

"when to go?"

"I've already asked Producer Zhang for leave. Go talk to the director later. We'll leave tonight and fly directly from Shanghai to Paris tomorrow."

You rest first, I still need to book tickets.

Your dad's the same; he's already twenty-eight, and only now he's bringing this up, making the timeline incredibly tight!

The fairy nodded like a chick pecking at rice, appearing extremely happy.

Aunt Liu started making phone calls to book plane tickets, but a strange sense of anticipation crept into her heart.

……

After Liu Jin and Zhang Guorong finished their practice, they came down from the stage.

Lala, the assistant temporarily transferred from Toulouse, ran over happily and handed Liu Jin a water glass.

"Amos, someone surnamed Jiang just called you."

"The one surnamed Jiang?"

Jiang Wen?

In Liu Jin's memory, he seemed to only know one person with the surname Jiang.

He took the phone from Lala; it was a French phone number, and a local Paris number at that.

When I called back, a woman answered the phone.

"I'm Amos. There was someone surnamed Jiang just now..."

"Oh, Amos, hello, I'm Sandrine, please wait a moment."

Immediately afterwards, a woman with a very authentic Beijing accent came from the phone: "Hey, Mr. Jiang, come over and answer the phone."

The guy surnamed Jiang is here!

"You fucking in Paris?"

Before the other party could speak, Liu Jin immediately started swearing.

The man surnamed Jiang was taken aback on the phone, but quickly realized what he meant and retorted, "Why the hell can't I be in Paris?"

"You're still fucking with your wife?"

"Why the hell can't I be with my wife?"

"But he has a mistress..."

"You bastard surnamed Liu, shut the hell up!" He snapped.

Liu Jin couldn't help laughing.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

The one surnamed Jiang is Jiang Wen.

Liu Jin always believed that he had returned to China.

In September, he and the crew of "Letter from an Unknown Woman" won the Best Director award at the Sebastián International Film Festival.

Yes, that Ms. Xu.

Liu Jin then went to Spain and even took a special trip there.

I never expected that this guy would stay in Paris, and even with Sandrine.

Fortunately, Sandrine has a good temper and can tolerate this guy.

Jiang Wen cursed, "You fucking had a performance and you didn't even tell me?"

"What show?"

"Keep it a secret? If it weren't for news from China, I wouldn't have known that you and Lao Zhang really formed a band and were going to perform at the New Year's Eve concert."

Didn't you say you weren't going to do it?
Why did you agree again?

"I owe people favors, and I can't bring myself to do it."

"Come on, is it a favor or a lover's affair..."

"You, surnamed Jiang, are such a vulgar person!"

"I don't care, get me three tickets to the show. I want to see you make a fool of yourself... no, I mean, perform."

"Where am I supposed to get you tickets?!"

"I don't care, you figure it out... I'll send you the address in a bit."

After Jiang Wen finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Liu Jin was left there, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

That damned Zhang Mazi!

He muttered to himself.

Just as I was getting ready to go back to the stage to continue rehearsing, the phone rang again.

It's Mr. An...

He wants three tickets!
"Who did you ask for this for? Does your boss even like this?"

“Shut up. I got the tickets for my ex-wife and daughter… Amos, I’m warning you, don’t even think about hitting my daughter.”

Liu Jin was caught off guard and didn't react immediately.

He was startled.

Then it dawned on me: Old An's daughter, isn't that Liu Tianxian?
What, is Liu Tianxian coming to see my performance?
No, what do you mean by that? What do you mean I shouldn't have designs on your daughter?
Am I the kind of morally depraved person?
Just as Liu Jin was about to retort, a thought flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Wen heard about his performance in China, was it with Liu Tianxian?

In my memory, Liu Yifei should be filming "The Return of the Condor Heroes" right now. How could she possibly find the time to leave?
Big Beard isn't someone you can easily talk to!
So, the story of Laozi making a fool of himself—no, I mean, performing—came from Liu Tianxian's side.

"Hello, hello?"

"Stop feeding them, let me think of something."

"The ticket is issued, should I send it via DSG?"

"can!"

Liu Jin hung up the phone and scratched his head.

"Old Liu, keep going!"

"coming!"

Leslie Cheung called out to him on stage, and he responded and quickly ran over.

……

Things have suddenly become a bit complicated.

The following day, Liu Jin received a constant stream of phone calls.

Auntie Xiaotang called to wish him a successful performance.

Mr. Ren apologized, saying he was too busy with work at the end of the year to come and support him.

Immediately afterward, Zuo Shandiao called, offering a sarcastic remark, but also congratulating him on his performance.

My mom also called to ask if I could see his performance in China.

Then Qianqian called from Mays to ask him for tickets... saying she wanted to see Alizee's performance in person.

"If you want to see Ali's performance, go ask her for tickets!"

She said, "You have all the tickets!"

Liu Jin felt his scalp was a little itchy.

On the 30th, he received a call from Xiao Li.

"Are you at the airport?"

"Yes!"

"Fly to Paris?"

"That's right!"

"What are you doing here?"

"Seeing you make a fool of yourself... Hahahaha, bro, you were going to perform on stage and you didn't even tell me. You're such a bad brother."

"And who told you I was going to perform?"

"I visited Eva on set the day before yesterday, and what Eva said..."

Ah, I remember now!

He and Eva were being shameless in Paris that day, and it seems he mentioned this unintentionally.

How can this woman's mouth be so fast!

"Let me make this clear first, I can't get tickets."

"Ha, when have I ever needed a ticket to see a show? It's always been by scanning your face!"

"you alone?"

"Of course not, it's me, Matt, Kate and Kate... and Jude."

After watching your performance, we're going on vacation to Greece. Oh, and Amos, if you're free, want to come along...?

"I would like to, but unfortunately, I have to go to America after the performance."

Wait, two Kates?

"Yes, Blanchett and Beckinsale, you should have heard of them."

Cate Blanchett... Kate Beckinsale.

I've heard so much about them!
Did Leonardo DiCaprio not hire a model?
How did she end up with two Kates?

Liu Jin had noticed that Leonardo DiCaprio and Gisele Bündchen officially broke up last month!
This guy is a real jerk.

Gisele Bündchen is only 26, and she's already broken up?

However, at least he didn't hang out with that bunch of trash, like Puff Daddy; otherwise, Liu Jin would have seriously considered cutting ties with him!

Beckinsale?

The classic image of Selene immediately came to Liu Jin's mind.

"Well then, welcome to Paris!"

Before hanging up the phone, Liu Jin yelled at Xiao Li.
