I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 527 He's worried sick about his friends (Five chapters today)
No, putting aside the facts, how am I a scumbag?

Have I ever been a jerk to you?
But Liu Jin would never say that out loud.

Ultimately, it was his fault.

In May 2003, after Shakira's concert in Barcelona, ​​Shakira asked her to write a song to prepare for the 2006 World Cup.

I think I agreed at the time!
Did they agree or not?
I can't remember...

But it seems they agreed.

Otherwise, Shakira wouldn't have roared like a leopard on the phone like that.

Of course, Liu Jin had truly forgotten about it.

After some time of calming Shakira down, the mother leopard finally calmed down.

Otherwise, Liu Jin felt that this female leopard might fly directly from America, tie him up, and drip wax on him...

Nonsence!

"Actually, I already have an idea."

"is it?"

"Three days, at most three days, I'll send it to you."

"Amos, if I'm not satisfied, you're dead."

Shakira said fiercely on the phone.

Afterwards, the two chatted calmly.

Here's what happened: Shakira just released a studio version of a Spanish album in June, and it did very well.

According to relevant organizations, this record may have sold over five million copies that year.

It was already June when it was released.

In other words, Shakira is very likely to set a record of selling over five million records in six months.

The album is called "Fijacion Oral Vol. 1".

Yes, in the original timeline, this album did indeed sell over five million copies, solidifying Shakira's status as the queen of Spanish pop.

At least in the realm of Spanish female singers, even 25 years later, before Liu Jin's time travel, no one could shake her position.

The album's title track, "La Tortura," holds the Guinness World Record for the best-selling Spanish-language single in history.

To be honest, that's really awesome.

At least in Shakira's opinion, she seems to have lost interest in Spanish albums.

So after the album was released, she shifted her focus to her second English album.

It was around this time that Alizee arrived in New York.

This is Alizée's first solo concert, and of course she wants it to be a success.

So she invited Shakira as a guest.

They've known each other for two years and have kept in touch.

During a casual chat, Alizee happily told Shakira that Liu Jin had written six songs for her concert.

Shakira got furious!

Sure enough, the phone rang.

Liu Jin kept apologizing on the phone, while also explaining righteously that inspiration is something that can't just come out of nowhere...

"I don't care, if I don't receive your song in three days, I'll go and cause trouble at Alizee's Seattle concert..."

"you are vicious!"

Liu Jin hung up the phone, cursing under his breath.

The 2006 World Cup, right...?

simple!
He believed in cherishing his own woman, and to ensure the success of Alizée's concert, Liu Jin insisted on writing the song.

To this end, he even called Alizee and exposed Shakira's atrocities.

"Liu Jin, don't listen to her nonsense, she won't cause me any trouble."

"It's hard to say. When that crazy woman goes crazy, she can be incredibly mad."

"You should focus on preparing for the concert; I'm sure I can write a song that will satisfy her."

"I believe you!"

Alizee smiled and hung up the phone.

Looking up at Shakira sitting opposite him, he smiled wryly and said, "Are you relieved now? He can definitely do it."

"He dares to call me a crazy old hag?"

If Shakira hadn't yet received the song, she might have already exploded.

However, let's hold back for now.

After he sends the song over, I'll go to Toulouse and cause him trouble.

……

That evening, Place de Grüssán was still filled with jubilation.

Ma Xiaojing returned to the square and enjoyed another night of revelry.

It was still very lively, and the atmosphere was great.

However, Liu Jin and the others did not appear.

The party continued on the third day.

However, the atmosphere was much worse than the previous two days.

After all, there were no singers, no one to create an atmosphere... and everyone else was just an ordinary person, unable to get the townspeople excited again...

Ma Xiaojing is also getting ready to leave.

At the Gruson Manor, Liu Jin finished the song.

That's right, it's that popular song, Hips Don't Lie.

There's just one problem.

When Shakira wrote this song, she collaborated with a singer named Wyclef Jean.

A Black singer with dual Haitian and American citizenship.

A three-time Grammy winner, quite an impressive person. He even ran for president of Haiti and almost won.

He eventually withdrew from the election because he did not meet the eligibility requirements (Haitial law stipulates that candidates must have resided in Haiti for five years prior to the election).

We don't know if he genuinely doesn't know or is pretending not to.

Anyway, that show was quite successful.

It's 2005 now, and his energy should be focused on that Haitian charity foundation, so he shouldn't be thinking about creating songs.

So, if it weren't for Wakeman, who would do the rap part in this song?

This song is now attributed to Liu Jin!
We definitely can't let outsiders benefit from this...

If any random black guy can sing, then what about Liu's reputation?

You need to have singing skills, fame, and be familiar with Liu Jin.

The problem is that Liu Jin isn't really that familiar with those guys in the hip-hop scene.

The only one I know...

Dog Lord?

Forget it, his West Coast style really doesn't suit him.

Liu Jin thought for a moment, then took out his phone and called Matt Damon.

He recently finished filming Infernal Affairs and is currently taking a break.

Leonardo DiCaprio was busy; after completing Infernal Affairs, he immediately began preparations for Blood Diamond...

Liu Jin didn't disturb him.

This guy was very serious and professional when filming.

"Amos, what do you want?"

"I have a question for you: who's the best in the American hip-hop scene right now?"

"That must be Eminem..."

Yeah, the god of white hip-hop!

"Besides Eminem?"

"There are so many, JAY-Z, Puff Daddy, Kanye, they're all pretty amazing. By the way, the hottest hip-hop artist this year should be Kanye. His debut solo album in 2004, 'The College Dropout,' sold over 440,000 copies in its first week, and his collaboration with others on the single 'Slow Jamz' went straight to number one on the Billboard Hot 100."

This year, he also won Grammy Awards for Best Hip Hop Album, Best Rap Performance, and Best R&B Performance. He was just named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in April.

Why didn't Time magazine choose me?

The US didn't choose it, Europe didn't choose it, and even the damn Asia wasn't selected?
I'm a Pulitzer Prize winner, after all!
Matt Damon didn't mention it, and Liu Jin couldn't recall it.

I immediately felt a little uncomfortable when he said that!
Why are you asking this?

"Yeah, I wrote a song for Shakira, and there's a rap part in it."

"Why don't you do it yourself? It's not like you can't."

"Give me a break. It's fine for us to have fun, but it's embarrassing to show it off in public."

Liu Jin and Matt Damon chatted for a while longer.

After confirming that Liu Jin would be coming to America in August, Matt immediately made a date with him to visit Leonardo DiCaprio on set together.

"He probably wasn't filming in America."

"That's what they say, but he'll definitely be in America by then."

"why?"

"Didn't this guy break up with Gisele last year?"

"Yes, you beast."

"He got a new girlfriend this year, also a model, Bar Revere, you should have heard of her."

"Bullshit, why should I have heard of it? I'm not familiar with the modeling industry."

"Hahaha, you're getting anxious, you're getting anxious!"

After they finished talking, Liu Jin hung up the phone.

He walked to the window and opened it.

A gust of hot, humid wind blew in his face, and he quickly closed the window again.

No wonder Tianxian and Qianqian aren't outside...

Kanye?
Kanye seems pretty good!
But later on, this guy went crazy and became a bit unreliable.

He married a wife, but ended up enjoying having her exposed every day...

I don't know what kind of preference it is.

But this guy is relatively friendly towards China.

It is said that he attended primary school in Nanjing when he was a child... so he can be considered a guy who received education with Chinese characteristics.

Only later...

He's been at his peak these past few years.

After that, she started hanging out with Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and their group, which seemed a bit off.

When did this guy start acting strangely?
Oh, right, the microphone snatching incident in 09...

After that, he seemed like a different person, acting strangely and erratically.

Later, he was punished for "reversing the oil trade," and he seemed to have gone crazy, becoming completely abnormal!

Liu Jin was interested in Kanye West for two reasons: first, his Yeezy shoes, and second, his wife named Bianca…

That's why I looked into it more carefully.

To be precise, Kanye's transformation did not begin with the microphone-grabbing incident in 09.

Although Liu Jin doesn't particularly like Taylor Swift—she's too pale, has excessive body hair, and is a woman brainwashed by some ideology—many people will like her in the future, but Liu Jin prefers her early days singing country folk songs.

Hmm, I've heard that women with a lot of body hair tend to have a stronger body odor...

Closer to home.

Kanye's transformation began after the death of his mother, Donna West.

Donna taught at Nanjing University and died of a heart attack in 2007.

It seems like this is common among Black people... They have great respect for their mothers.

No matter how many bad things I do outside, I'm always a good boy at home... But as soon as my mom leaves, it's like I've lost all restraint and am free to do whatever I want.

Kanye probably flew too hard!
A group of black hip-hop artists.

But if Liu Jin had to choose, he would choose Kanye.

Are you suggesting we choose DIDDY?

She didn't plan to attend his white party, and she didn't want to wear a maid outfit and get backed down.

However, if he really ended up hanging out with that guy, it would be hard for him not to get caught...

Liu Jin pursed his lips and wrote Kanye's name in the email.

At least this guy has been normal for the past two years... If possible in the future, let's try to salvage the situation.

It's difficult!

Because this guy's future wife is named Kim Kardashian.

But we can't just let a little black kid who once received red education be ruined by a group of haters and driven insane.

If all else fails, start with his mother.

If Donna hadn't died, Kanye probably wouldn't have been driven insane by CPU.

That said, when did Leonardo DiCaprio start hanging out with Puff Daddy and his gang?
At least for now, no!

Bar Revelli?
Liu Jin never discriminates against models.

But if the model is an Iserlohn...

The Ismailis are basically a group of guys brainwashed by Zionists.

Liu Jin lit a cigarette.

Little Li still wanted to lend a hand.

This guy may be unreliable, but he's absolutely devoted to his friends.

Liu Jin picked up the phone and dialed Lao Zhong's number.

"I want to investigate someone."

"Who?"

"Barl Laverli, an Iselite."

There was a moment of silence on the phone.

Old Zhong said softly, "Are you out of your mind?"

"Oh, you can speak the Shanghai dialect?"

"Bullshit, I just said it offhand."

However, Iserles... brother, you don't mean...

"You're overthinking it. I was just investigating for Little Li."

He recently met a supermodel named Elizabeth, and I'm a little uneasy about it. I want to find out more about her background... I don't need a deep investigation; I just want to know if it's possible to find out... If not, then forget it.

"Not investigating further?"

"No investigation."

"That makes things a bit easier, two hundred thousand euros."

"No, you're even making money off your own brothers?"

"Bullshit, those are Iserles, that's the price."

"All right……"

Old Zhong hung up the phone.

Actually, Liu Jin felt quite embarrassed.

Old Zhong is currently busy preparing for his wedding with Ottilie.

They've been engaged for almost two years, and now they're almost at the grave...

Congratulations to him!
If Liu Jin hadn't just wanted to conduct a superficial investigation, he would never have asked Lao Zhong for help.

But it seems that he can't find anyone more suitable than Lao Zhong!
