I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 509 Rumors!!
In 2005, for Chinese filmmakers, the three major European film festivals and the Oscars were sacred and incredibly fair.

But for Liu Jin, who was reborn in 2025, he was well aware of the dirty dealings behind the Big Three and the Oscars. He just couldn't talk about it, and even if he did, no one would believe him, not even after reaching the position of Chairman Ren.

I'd rather not say!
To give an example, consider the Sebastián International Film Festival in Spain.

Carmen Balces told Liu Jin directly that he could send "Life Is Beautiful" to her and that she would guarantee a reward.

That says it all!
However, Liu Jin has not yet made up his mind about whether to send the film to the Sebastian Film Festival.

If I were to give it to you...

Anyway, he was too lazy to go.

Let's see what decision Mr. Ren and his team ultimately make.

This is also a political achievement, isn't it?
……

The out-of-control bicycle's greeting, "Good morning, princess," dispelled the heaviness of life.

As Ah Kui disappeared around the alleyway with a grimacing face, his laughter lingered forever on the barbed wire.

In fact, Life Is Beautiful did not condemn war; it simply froze the father's comical dance steps into a fairy tale amidst the gunfire.

Courage hidden in lies, tears behind forced smiles, a game promise fulfilled by a tank—every moment enveloped in love is a ray of light piercing the darkness. Isabelle Adjani
I have read the novel *Life Is Beautiful* many times.

Every time I read something, it fills me with renewed hope for life.

She was sad, but not despairing. Ah Kui's performance in the play made me forget the stunning Cheng Dieyi, but also made me remember Ah Kui, the optimistic and wise little man from Shanghai.

Thank you Leslie, and thank you even more to Amos.

Life Is Beautiful is a film that wraps tragedy in warmth.

The film opens with a lighthearted comedy, yet silently pierces the heart.

Leslie, with his humor and love, created a fairytale-like game for Joshua, preserving a piece of innocence behind the eerie barbed wire of the concentration camp.

that's nice!

Director Sofia fully grasped the core of Amos's novel; her restraint was full of romance, and every shot made people laugh while also feeling a touch of sadness.

This is not only an excellent film, but also a great work of art.

Furthermore, I'm puzzled as to why Xiao Rizi would go to such lengths to prevent this movie from being made.

……

In just three days, the influence of "A Beautiful Life" spread rapidly.

Many political figures have also commented on the film.

Nicolas Sarkozy, who took office as Minister of State and Minister of the Interior in early May, also watched the film and expressed great interest.

He even gave pointers to the new president of CNC (French National Cinema Center), Ronnick Keira.

Amos studied and wrote in France.

Why did this film become an America-funded project? Why didn't the French filmmakers proactively communicate with Amos?

Ronnie Keira didn't know how to answer this.

You can't exactly say: "When Life Is Beautiful was being made, I wasn't yet the chairman of the National Film Center."

That would make her seem incompetent.

After all, former president Catherine Colonel had been instrumental in her career.

Therefore, Ronique could only humbly accept the criticism and stated that she would strengthen communication with writers in the future.

Of course, this was just a minor incident.

Just as "Life Is Beautiful" was sweeping the nation, far away on the campus of Beijing Film Academy in the capital, angelic beauty was on the phone.

"Uncle Jiang, I don't know."

My dad didn't tell me about Uncle Amos...

Yes, they only said that an assassination did occur, but Uncle Amos is unharmed, and they are urging the French police to investigate the matter.

"Yes, yes, yes, I will keep in touch with Dad."

"Fairy," she thought, hanging up the phone, feeling a bit of a headache.

These past few days, a lot of people have been asking about Uncle Amos... what a load of rubbish, about that Liu family brother.

For example, the bearded man, and Ms. Cai.

But how could she know?
She only heard about this from the news, and by the time she found out, two days had already passed.

Mom asked her to call Dad to ask about the details.

The father replied that Liu's older brother had suffered minor injuries, but was otherwise fine.

Afterwards, Director Jiang also called to ask her.

It's as if she's very familiar with Liu's brother.

Director Jiang said: He called Liu's brother to inquire, but Liu's brother didn't say anything, only that he should not worry...

It sounds like Director Jiang cares a lot about Liu's brother.

The celestial being pursed her lips at this thought.

Actually, she cares a lot too.

After photos of her with Andy Lau, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, and Leonardo DiCaprio from a New Year's Eve gala circulated back in China, her status on set immediately rose. Even the bearded man treated her with great respect.

Mom told her to thank Brother Liu.

But this older man seemed very busy, running around everywhere.

One minute he's in Seattle, the next he's in Los Angeles, and then he's in New York.

After exchanging a few emails, Tianxian gradually lost contact. However, following the advice of Director Jiang and Liu's brother, she returned to school after filming "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was completed.

I studied the book very seriously for a month.

But studying is so difficult!
At the beginning of the month, Uncle Jiang called her to an audition, and then she lost contact with him.

I don't know what the outcome will be!
inquire about?

She wouldn't dare.

Director Jiang's face makes people feel a little nervous just by looking at it.

"Sisi, what are you thinking about? You won't answer when I call you."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Yiyan. Director Jiang just called, and I was still thinking about what he said."

"Director Jiang, which Director Jiang?"

"It's Director Jiang Wen. I met him when I went to France before."

"Jiang Wen?"

Jiang, a classmate, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

But she quickly realized what she was doing, looked around, and said in a low voice, "I really envy you, Qianqian, that you even know Director Jiang."

I heard that Director Jiang's ban was lifted this year, and he's apparently filming something?

"Oh, the sun rises as usual, and I..."

"Hey, Sisi, you're here! I've been looking for you everywhere."

"Sister Wen, is there something you need?"

The one who arrived was Tianxian's classmate, Wang Liwen.

She sat down next to Tianxian, glanced at Jiang Yiyan across from her, and said softly, "I just saw a news report on the forum saying that Amos, the great writer, seems to be critically ill... He didn't even show up for the premiere of 'Life Is Beautiful'."

"what?"

Tianxian's heart skipped a beat.

She quickly asked, "Sister Wen, where did you see the news?"

"Tianya Community!"

"Could you help me look for it?"

"OK!"

Wang Liwen nodded and got up to take Tianxian away.

After taking a few steps, Tianxian remembered something and turned back to Jiang Yiyan, saying, "Sister Yiyan, I'll go check the news first. We'll talk about it later."

Jiang Yiyan gave a fake smile and said, "It's okay, you go about your business."

Tianxian apologized again before hurriedly catching up with Wang Liwen.

"Sissi."

"Ok?"

There are some things I don't know whether I should tell you.

"Sister Wen, please speak."

"Although Yiyan is our classmate, you should watch your words in the future and not say everything."

"what?"

"You've been filming outside these past two years, and Yiyan has been saying a lot of strange things behind your back."

I shouldn't be saying this, but you're young and don't know how to be wary of people... People in our circle are very complicated, so never open your heart to just anyone. You can go back and ask your mother if this is true; you can never be too careful.

Tianxian paused for a moment and glanced at Wang Liwen.

After a moment, she whispered, "Sister Wen, thank you!"

"Let's go, I'll show you that article first."

……

Tianya Community, founded in 1999, has gradually developed into a large forum.

This place gathers a lot of news from both home and abroad.

The fairy quickly found the article.

It was a message sent back by a student studying in France.

She attended the premiere of "Life Is Beautiful" and spoke highly of the film.

At the end of the article, she wrote: It is a great pity that I did not see Mr. Amos, the producer of "Life Is Beautiful" and the original author of the novel, at such an exciting moment.

News reports said he was injured, but not seriously.

But I think he must have been seriously injured, which is why he didn't show up at such a critical moment...

The rest is a bunch of rambling nonsense, basically guessing that the reason Liu Jin didn't appear was because his injuries were serious.

Probably not!
Dad said he was fine.

It's not a big deal, so why didn't it happen in an occasion like this?

The celestial being's heart leaped into her throat!
