I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 573 The Lively Grysang
Adjani's visit to Gryçon was something that was agreed upon yesterday.

I just didn't expect her to arrive so quickly.

Simmons looked very excited because the estate was full of celebrities.

And he was a fan of Monica.

At his age, he probably grew up watching "Malèna"!
Liu Jin can understand!

It's like when he went to his little house and saw Ai Iijima, he was very excited, it's the same thing.

……

Since Liu Jin bought the Grüsang Manor, it has never been this lively.

It was already quite lively!
Emmanuelle, Marion, Monica...

With the addition of Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui, who were staying in Glushang, the manor's usual quietness was swept away.

Emmanuelle and Marion came over to inquire about the script for "La Vie en Rose".

Fortunately, Liu Jin has already completed half of it!

Marion Cotillard, a late-blooming French actress.

In the original timeline, prior to 08, she primarily worked in Europe, honing her exceptional acting skills. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in *La Vie en Rose*, which propelled her to stardom and launched her Hollywood career. Since then, she has consistently had access to a steady stream of opportunities.

Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, Contagion, Two Days & One Night, Allied, and Assassin's Creed...

Regardless of whether she's the female lead or not, she's consistently been in the spotlight.

In some ways, Marion Cotillard has far better resources than Sophie Marceau, Emmanuelle Béart, Audrey Tautou, and Eva Green.

Yes, she is still the female lead in "Two Little Lovers" from the original timeline.

In this timeline, she still starred in "Love Me If You Dare"...

Emmanuel brought her along so that Liu Jin could see if she was suitable to play Piavo.

Of course it's suitable!
She was the female lead in the original timeline.

Liu Jin even used Marion Cotillard as a model when writing the script.

So, I agreed without hesitation!

But in this case...

Marion Cotillard seems unable to escape the shadow of Liu Jin.

"Love Me If You Dare," "La Vie en Rose," and the upcoming "Inception" (starring Dom Cobb's late wife, Phantom Mel), and "Assassin's Creed" (starring Sofia)...

Hmm, it seems they've all become Liu Jin's works.

Marion Cotillard had no idea that her future would be so closely linked to Liu Jin.

She's incredibly happy right now!

Because Liu Jin recognized her acting skills.

She was originally supposed to go to the yacht to work with Liu Jin and Little Simmons today.

Emmanuel stopped her and told her to stay home and read the script.

Just as I was engrossed in watching, Isabelle Adjani suddenly arrived.

This is also a senior figure, and in terms of seniority and reputation, he is greater than Emmanuel.

She didn't come alone; she brought Guillaume Laurent and Audrey Tautou with her.

Marion, Audrey, Eva Green, and Ludwin Seigner were once known as the Four Golden Flowers of France in 03/04.

Audrey Tautou rose to fame with her role in Amélie, while Marion Cotillard is known for films such as Taxi, Pretty Things, and Women in Trouble. However, because Liu Jin wrote "Love Me If You Dare," filming for "Love Me If You Dare" began later than in the original timeline, so it wasn't included in the selection.

Eva Green rose to fame with the film "Before Sunrise".

In comparison, Ludwin was far more experienced and more famous than the other three.

She entered the film industry at the age of ten, debuting as a child star.

In 2001, she was selected as a rising star by the European Film Promotion Organization.

In 2002, she was nominated for the César Award for Most Promising Actress for her outstanding performance in "8 Women".

In 2003, her films "Swimming Pool" and "Little Lily" were both selected for the Cannes Film Festival, and she won the French Newcomer Award that same year.

In the middle of the day!

The other three beauties were trembling with fear when they were selected.

As a result, in 2005, she retired from acting, had a baby, and became a mother...

After that...

I know everything!

A bright new star has since faded into obscurity.

Meanwhile, the lives of Marion and her two companions continued to improve.

Eva Green has broken into Hollywood and is no longer on the same track as Marion and Audrey.

Marion and Audrey...

They fought fiercely and were evenly matched!

Everyone has representative works, and everyone's fame is growing.

So much so that the two of them were almost like two tigers that cannot share the same mountain.

When Marion saw Tautou appear, she naturally didn't back down; and when Tautou saw Marion, he became as proud as a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

When Liu Jin returned to the manor, the two were engaged in a silent contest.

He has such a sharp eye!

Seeing that things were not going well, he ran straight into the living room.

"What's wrong with them?"

"It's nothing, it's just media hype. They say the two of them are rivals, and they've been arguing non-stop since last year."

The two of them had no grudges against each other.

But young people like them, once the media hypes it up, the two of them start competing!

Liu Jin couldn't help laughing!
He greeted Guillaume first, then hugged Isabelle Adjani, and then sat down in the living room.

"Didn't you say I'd review the script later?"

"I sent it to you yesterday, did you see it?"

Adjani's eyes sparkled with a mixture of anger and resentment.

Hey, hey, hey, your face, making such a girlish expression, is a bit too much for me!

Isabelle Adjani is definitely the kind of woman who looks like she's an ageless beauty; her face doesn't look like she's almost fifty at all.

She has such a youthful vibe!

Liu Jin thought to himself, but his face showed embarrassment.

He really didn't have time to see it.

After arriving in Gryzan, I've been busy with the yacht project.

I was ambushed by Emmanuel late last night, how could I have time to read the script?
And they actually caught up with us.

“I knew you hadn’t read it… You can take advantage of these next couple of days to look through the script. If you have any questions, you can talk to Guillaume directly.” “What about Tatou? Is she going to be in it too?”

"Tautou went to Cannes with me, you forgot? And 'Sleepless in Paris' was also nominated!"

"Oh, oh, I remember now!"

In the original timeline, the film nominated for Cannes this year should be "Marie Antoinette," directed by Sofia.

However, in this timeline, filming for "Marie Antoinette" only began in March. Given Sofia's pace, it'll likely wrap up by the end of the year. The entire film probably won't be finished until next year...

So this year's "Sleepless in Paris" took its place.

"Berry and Guillaume didn't come?"

"They went directly to Cannes, and we met up with them there."

"Haha, aren't you afraid of being bitten by crickets?"

Liu Jin laughed and said, "There are two judges here."

Monica, standing nearby, covered her mouth and laughed.

Isabelle Adjani shrugged indifferently and said, "I think this movie is good. Berry (the director) is a talented person. He made this movie... how should I put it, I personally think it's no worse than Amélie."

But you should be aware that Cannes is currently heavily influenced by external factors, and I personally feel there's not much hope for it.

I brought Tatu here because I had other ideas.

Her acting career is almost entirely defined by "Amélie," and continuing down that path will only make things more difficult in the future.

“Isabel, you want Amos to help her…”

"Hmm, I'd like to discuss this with Amos to see if we can open up a new acting path for her."

Tatum has collaborated with Isabelle Adjani since her debut.

In 01, the film "Margot" almost ended her acting career, so much so that Isabelle Adjani felt extremely guilty towards her and always liked to bring her along.

Amélie made her an overnight sensation.

But since then, it seems like we've fallen into a vicious cycle.

Liu Jin had heard Isabelle mention these things before, but when Isabelle came to him for help, he was in a bit of a dilemma.

Logically speaking, Tatu should have had a chance to escape his predicament in the original timeline.

She worked with Tom Hanks on "The Da Vinci Code".

This is a very successful film, and it features collaborations with some of Hollywood's top actors, including French film star Jean Reno in a supporting role.

As a result, Tatum remained lukewarm.

After completing The Da Vinci Code, she returned to France and once again fell into the 'Emily effect'.

At least compared to Marion, she seems to lack a bit of star power.

Liu Jin scratched his head, also feeling somewhat helpless.

Tatum's performance in "The Da Vinci Code" was, to say the least, outstanding.

To be honest, when I first watched this movie, I didn't recognize Tautou at first, but I felt a Sophie Marceau vibe in him.

Hmm, it also has a bit of an Emmanuel feel to it.

This is really beyond the scope of the curriculum!

……

Fortunately, everyone knows that this is not something that can be done immediately.

Adjani did not pressure Liu Jin.

For the next two days, Liu Jin stayed at the manor, helping Isabelle Adjani review the script while writing the script for Emmanuelle.

The manor exudes femininity.

But precisely because everyone was there, Liu Jin didn't even have a chance to cheat on his girlfriend.

He discussed the matter repeatedly with Guillaume and pointed out some problems in the script.

Meanwhile, the script for La Vie en Rose gradually became complete.

It's just time to leave!
Emmanuel was a little impatient, so he simply took Marion with him onto the yacht.

"After you finish writing, I will go to visit Ms. Piaf immediately. She is also waiting to bring your script out."

"I'm starting to regret agreeing to write the screenplay for you!"

Emmanuel smiled, opened his hand to Liu Jin, and then made a gesture of loosely grasping.

Seeing this, Liu Jin rolled his eyes.

He originally wanted to invite Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui to go together.

However, they couldn't travel together because they needed to return to Shanghai for a follow-up examination.

Liu Jin could only express his regret about this.

May 13th, Saturday.

It was a sunny and beautiful day.

Liu Jin boarded the yacht.

Before boarding the ship, everyone took a group photo at the dock.

Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui were also there, standing on Lau Chun's side.

On the other side, there were Monica Bellucci, Emmanuelle Béart, and Isabelle Adjani.

In front of him were Marion Cotillard and Tautou.

The two women, who were just moments before locked in a fierce argument, now wore radiant smiles.

Guillaume was in charge of taking photos.

Instead of going to Cannes, he returned directly to Paris to revise the script.

A poor, unfortunate old man...

After taking photos, everyone boarded the boat.

Liu Jin glanced at the sky, waved his hand, and shouted, "Let's go! Heading to Cannes!"

"Marching to Cannes!"

On the deck, the women responded.

On the dock, young Simmons, who was in charge of untying the mooring ropes, wore an envious expression.

He suddenly said to Leslie Cheung, "Leslie, do you think Amos's trip there will be happy or painful?"

Leslie Cheung was taken aback.

Immediately, he burst into laughter.

One man, five women...

Who knows what hardships Liu Jin will face in the coming days?
