I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 545 I have no intention of stirring up trouble

He was in a coma for a week and then underwent a week of treatment.

By September, Liu Jin was able to speak normally, instead of having to catch his breath after just a few words, as he had before.

However, his vital energy was somewhat insufficient.

Once things returned to normal, he immediately sent Eva and Alizee away.

"Eva, filming for Blood Diamond has already started. As the female lead, you can't be absent for too long."

Leon said he didn't care, but what would Director Edward and the rest of the crew think? After all, every day wasted meant money.

Eva Green was reluctant.

Because someone is still here.

"Ali, you should go too."

The concert should start soon, right? Universal Music spent so much money preparing this tour for you, and your fans are all waiting for your return... Sing well, and when I'm fully recovered, I'll come to support you, okay?"

What if Liu Jin just told her to leave?
Alizee strongly disagreed.

But Eva was also driven away...

snort!
Although she felt a little reluctant, she knew that the concert could not be postponed any longer.

She's already been dragging her feet for two weeks; if she doesn't go back soon, things will really get complicated!

Fortunately, Liu Jin has woken up, so she no longer needs to worry about him.

So, he glanced at Eva.

The two glanced at Liu Jin lying on the hospital bed simultaneously, then looked at each other and snorted in unison, without refusing.

……

Eva and Alizee were fooled by Liu Jin.

Following Sophie Marceau and the others, they also visited him once in turn before leaving.

That's the good thing about older sisters—they're so caring!
However, when Adjani left, the smile on her face was somewhat strange.

Later, Liu Jin heard from Melissa that Sophie Marceau and Heidi had resumed their mutual mockery over the past week.

One is a German rose, and the other is a French rose.

They're just not compatible by nature!
Jiang Wen also came to say goodbye, along with Tianxian and her daughter.

Because the fairy is going back to school!

In Jiang Wen's words, students are not allowed to take leave during their junior year and should focus on studying at school.

If a suitable opportunity arises, he will introduce her to Tianxian.

Liu Jinshen agreed!

It seems that Liu Yifei has already completed several representative works in her early career, and what follows is a bunch of bad movies.

Instead of wasting your popularity, you should focus on studying.

Besides, if her acting skills don't improve, no matter how popular she is, she won't be noticed by those big directors.

During this period, the Chinese film and television industry still valued acting skills.

Unlike more than a decade later, where popularity guarantees a spot in the center regardless of acting skills, and veteran actors have to address popular people as "teacher" in respect.

From that time on, Liu Jin developed a strong aversion to the title of 'teacher'.

"Hehe, Amos, do you remember 'The Chorus'?"

"What is 'The Chorus'?"

Old Jiang turned his head and asked in confusion.

"My brother Amos wrote a short story, and he said he wanted to make two versions."

One French version, one Chinese version...hehe, I promised I'd be in one.

"Call uncle!"

"No way, oh no oh no!"

Liu Jin looked at the celestial beauty and couldn't help but laugh.

"What short story? Let me see it."

"The French version."

"Forehead!"

Previously, Lao Jiang was able to understand Liu Jin's books because his ex-wife Sandrine translated them.

Now that he and Sandrine are divorced, it would be disloyal of him to hire someone to translate for him again, and he wouldn't be able to bring himself to do it.

"Can Sisi understand it?"

"I don't know."

Jiang Wen looked at the celestial being.

Tianxian scratched her head. "I can roughly understand it, but the translation is not good." "So, you have to work hard to learn French... Once you've mastered French, ask your brother to write a script for you, and then you can film in France."

Aunt Liu's eyes lit up.

That seems to make sense!

Liu Jin sneered and said, "I don't know what I did wrong. She won't even call me 'uncle'!"

The fairy was giggling nonstop.

……

Old Jiang and the others have left.

Before leaving, Liu Jin told him to tell his mother when he returned to China to stop making trouble!

He'll be returning to France in a few days.

Thanks to the American Embassy for taking so long to approve my mom's visa.

Otherwise, if his mother came to see him like this, she would be crying her eyes out, and he, a tough guy, couldn't bear to see that.

However, after Eva and the others left, Liu Jin did not find any peace and quiet.

After meeting all the people in the film and television industry, friends from the publishing industry also came to visit one after another.

Melissa didn't leave either; she did have a mission.

M6's task for her was to interview Americans about their opinions on the film "Life Is Beautiful".

In addition, there is the Amos Alliance of Liu Jin and J.K. Rowling and the war of the Rowling Axis.

Liu Jin is hospitalized!
But the war between the two sides did not end.

Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" continues its triumphant run.

Meanwhile, the fourth installment in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, will be released worldwide in November.

Previously, Rowling and Lau Chin worked tirelessly for a month to generate a lot of buzz for "Life Is Beautiful".

Now it's Liu Jin's turn to repay the favor!

Therefore, the book war between the two will continue.

However, unlike the battle between the Axis Six against the Nine Princes in July, after two and a half months of fighting, Harry Potter's Half-Blood Prince still has great potential, but the other five have begun to fall behind, some even dropping out of the top twenty.

It's estimated that Goblet of Fire will make a comeback during the pre-release promotional phase.

The other four units will find it difficult to enter the battlefield again.

The battlefield here refers to the top ten.

On Liu Jin's side, Nemo and Night at the Museum have both withdrawn from the competition.

Nemo is still in the top 20, but Night at the Museum has fallen out of the top 20.

The Old Man and the Sea, Notre Dame Cathedral, have also been withdrawn!

That's normal; neither of these books is a purely commercial product. Although they've fallen out of the top twenty, their sales have remained extremely stable.

According to the publisher, this is the normal situation.

Currently in the top ten are "The Hunger Games" and "The Da Vinci Code".

Since its release on August 15th, "Assassination of the Emperor"... well, how should I put it, it hasn't been particularly successful.

After three weeks, sales were less than 400,000.

As Liu Jin predicted, the Americans were not interested in the Emperor's petty lifestyle.

According to Nielsen Book Survey and forecasts, "The Assassination of the Emperor" is expected to sell around 600,000 copies by the end of the year.

Reaching one million shouldn't be a problem, but it will take time.

Liu Jin was certainly dissatisfied with this result.

But for HarperCollins, selling 600,000 copies in four months is already a very impressive achievement.

It exceeded their expectations.

Therefore, Jonathan Burnham, editor-in-chief of HarperCollins, made a special trip to Los Angeles to visit Liu Jin.

He is the editor-in-chief of HarperCollins Publishers and the publisher of Harper's brand, Harper.

"Amos, don't worry, we will continue to push the sales of 'Assassination of the Emperor' and will never let you down."

Meera later told Liu Jin that the first Hunger Games book sold 2.67 million copies in two and a half months.

"They made a fortune!"

Mela said with a smile as she peeled an apple, "HarperCollins stock went up three and a half points."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin couldn't help but chuckle.

He took the peeled apple from Mela's hand and said in a deep voice, "Mela, I want to go back to Grysan!"
