I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 575 The Mystery of the Child Swap (Seeking Monthly Tickets!!!)
The sea was calm and still.

The sea is a deep blue, and the sky and sea blend into one.

The white clouds drift lazily by, and the sun shines brightly.

The Victor Hugo was anchored about 120 nautical miles from Nice, its ship bobbing up and down.

The women, their graceful bodies covered by thin sheets of cloth, laughed and chattered incessantly on the deck.

They are so happy!
Isabelle Adjani is almost fifty years old, but her skin is as delicate as a baby's.

Emmanuelle is forty years old, and her skin is smooth, like a piece of satin.

Monica, showcasing the beauty of a ball flower.

Those two small tattered pieces of cloth could not conceal the alluring cleavage at all.

Marion and Audrey, on the other hand, exude endless charm...

I want to join!

Even if I joined, it wouldn't be of any use.

Liu Jin sat at the control panel in the wheelhouse, listlessly watching the women on the deck, feeling utterly bored.

If it's one or two women, there might still be a chance.

Four or five women, there's no trace of them at all!
Four days. Do you know how I spent those four days?
We could only watch helplessly!

Liu Jin couldn't help but yawn, took a bottle of beer from the ice bucket next to him, bit off the cap, and took a few big gulps to calm his temper.

His gaze, however, inadvertently fell upon Tatu.

These past two days, he's been thinking about how to find a role for Tatum.

To be honest, Tautou has such a strong artistic flair! Perhaps it's because she's worked with so many European directors, but she exudes a unique, artistic air characteristic of European actresses. It's not that it's bad, but it definitely has an impact.

This is particularly evident among European actresses, especially those from France and Italy.

That's exactly what Tatu is like!

However, she does not have the same appearance as Sophie Marceau.

Although French media named her one of the top ten beauties, in fact, Tautou has never been known for her beauty.

Her role is really hard to define.

However, there is one thing that Adjani is right about.

After Amélie, Audrey's role seemed to be fixed.

Kindness, integrity...

Anyway, it's all the same approach.

If this continues, it will really become a fixed formula.

We need to find a role that's different from the ones she's played before, and she can't go down the Amélie route again.

"Amos!"

Monica Bellucci suddenly walked into the driver's seat.

I sat down on the sofa next to him.

"What are you thinking about?"

She grabbed a bottle of beer and asked.

"What kind of role do you think Audrey is suited for?"

"what?"

Monica paused for a moment, then followed Liu Jin's gaze.

On the deck, Isabelle Adjani sat on a deckchair sunbathing, Emmanuelle and Marion were talking, while Audrey was fishing quietly by herself.

"Are you helping her think of a role?"

“Yes, Adjani said that her role was fixed and needed to be changed.”

"She looks very delicate, very...like a young woman next door, the kind of character who is outwardly gentle but inwardly strong."

"This kind of role is very common; there are too many of them in Hollywood."

To stand out...

Just then, a movie suddenly flashed through Liu Jin's mind.

The Mystery of Changing the Child!
A film from 07 or 08, directed by Clint Eastwood.

Starring Angelina Jolie!
The screenplay is based on a series of child kidnappings and murders that occurred in Riverside County, Los Angeles, California in 1928.

That murder was America's infamous 'chicken coop murder'.

"Monica, have you heard of the chicken coop murder case?"

"That America one?"

"Ok!"

"Of course I've heard of it."

What do you think of Tatum's portrayal of the mother character?

"That depends on how you define her role."

"Um……"

Liu Jin nodded slightly.

He suddenly asked again, "What has Director Dongmu been busy with lately?"

“Director Eastwood?” Monica thought for a moment and said, “After he finished filming ‘Million Dollar Baby,’ he seemed to fall into a slump. I haven’t heard of him making any moves since last year; it’s like he’s taking a break.”

Yes, that's true!

The publication of "The Eye of the Beast" caused "Letters from Iwo Jima" and "Flags of Our Fathers" to disappear without a trace.

In the original timeline, he was basically busy filming in 05 and 06.

Not bad either!

It saves us from embellishing our daily lives.

Indeed, in Liu Jin's view, both the banners of his father's generation and the letters from Iwo Jima were attempts to whitewash their ordinary lives.

But thinking about it, it's normal, since both films were made with small investments.

The letters from Iwo Jima, in particular, were a project primarily controlled by Xiao Rizi...

Therefore, Liu Jin dislikes a mundane life.

But I also really admire these guys!
They can do one thing for decades, spending huge sums of money and resources to beautify and whitewash their war crimes.

In fact, Germany is the same. While they kneel before Jews, they never acknowledge the crimes they committed against the Chinese living in Germany during World War II. They even use various pretexts of friendship to cover up what they did back then.

Even in 2025, few Chinese people know that they arrested more than a thousand Chinese living in Chinatown and sent them to concentration camps. After the war ended, there was no news of any of those thousand-plus Chinese survivors.

The only difference is that their crimes occurred in faraway Europe, not in China!

But what about China?

Forget it, it's all just a bunch of upsetting stuff!

Liu Jin lit a cigarette and quietly looked at Tatu.

In my mind, however, I was pondering the plot and information of "Changeling".

"Monica, do you know Michael Straczynski Jr.?"

"You mean J. Michael?"

"Ok!"

I know him, but I'm not very familiar with him.

He's a director; Isabelle Adjani is probably more familiar with him.

After all, Isabelle Adjani also has a representative work in Hollywood, "American Princess in Europe," which was invested in by Hollywood.

Monica stood up, walked to the control panel, and almost leaned on Liu Jin, shouting to the deck, "Adjani, do you know J. Michael?"

The warmth and softness of her body made Liu Jin a little unable to resist.

He quickly leaned forward slightly to hide his physical embarrassment.

Isabelle Adjani sat up from the recliner, thought for a moment, and said, "Director Straszinski?"

"Yes!"

“I heard from someone that he was filming Babylon 5.”

"Hmm, you heard that?"

Monica looked at Liu Jin.

Liu Jin sat there awkwardly and nodded, "I heard you!"

"What are you doing!"

"I didn't do anything."

"Then you bend over... Oh, hahaha!"

Monica seemed to understand something and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Amos, I thought you were a true gentleman."

Liu Jin, enraged, retorted, "A true gentleman here is probably even worse than me."

Monica chuckled and turned to leave.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the moment he turned around, a cascade of black hair flew out, strands brushing against Liu Jin's face.

This woman...

If it weren't for the fact that you're ten years older than me, I would have executed you on the spot!
Liu Jin, his face dark, took a big gulp of beer!

……

Life at sea is both painful and pleasant.

Although some of them are almost middle-aged women...

After dark, Liu Jin stayed at the control panel and took out a hunting rifle and a pistol from the safe in the cabin.

I was originally going to Cannes.

As a result, none of the women were very willing.

They said today is the 16th, so it's not too late to arrive in Cannes and report tomorrow.

Thinking about it, it seems to make sense.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky.

The sea was calm and still.

Liu Jin sat in the driver's seat, took a sip of coffee, and listened to the information coming from the radio.

Before I knew it, it was already midnight.

The women went back to their cabins to rest.

Liu Jin's yacht has ten cabins for people to rest, and can accommodate up to thirty people.

But he cannot rest.

He was the only man on the entire ship.

Although it's very close to Cannes and quite safe, I've never heard of any danger here.

However, we still need to be cautious.

After all, this is Europe...

He loaded two bullets into the shotgun and placed it against the control panel.

The pistol was placed on the control panel, along with two magazines.

He lit a cigarette and stared blankly at the vast sea and its shimmering waves under the moonlight.

Light footsteps sounded.

Liu Jin stood up, walked towards the gangway, and picked up his hunting rifle.

"Who?"

He shouted lowly.

But then, a familiar scent of crystal musk blended with the fragrance of palm wood appeared and disappeared, and a fiery and graceful figure rushed into his arms.

"Amos, be quiet!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Liu Jin immediately understood.

Immediately afterwards, intermittent, suppressed, and weak sounds came from the control panel!

……

The next day, Liu Jin was in high spirits.

He started the yacht and headed towards Cannes.

None of the women from the cabin appeared...
