I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 585 I knew it was you guys
After washing up, Liu Jin changed into casual clothes.

Shorts, a white casual suit jacket, a floral shirt underneath, and sneakers on her feet.

I put my laptop in my backpack, picked up the newspaper the hotel had delivered, put on my sunglasses, and strolled out of the room.

Have the cleaning service clean the room in advance.

too messy!
He felt he couldn't stay any longer.

A group of crazy women drank ten cases of beer, six bottles of wine, and a bottle of whiskey in one night.

Thankfully, no one was drunk!
Otherwise, they might start acting crazy when they're drunk...

One or two are manageable, but a dozen or so, even Old Zhong would have to kneel down.

Amos, where are you going?

As I was leaving the hotel, I ran into Melissa, who was showing the cameraman around.

"Go to the yacht, read the newspaper, and write something."

"What, do you have an interview assignment?"

Melissa pursed her lips and nodded repeatedly.

Then, she smiled slyly, "I've never been on your yacht before, would it be convenient for you to take us on a tour?"

"I want to go out to sea!"

"It's okay, we can take a break from our busy schedules."

"If you have no problem, I have even less problem."

After Liu Jin finished speaking, he hailed a taxi.

He got into the passenger seat, while Melissa, along with the cameraman, quickly climbed into the back seat.

"Amos, I'm very sorry for saying that inappropriate thing to you yesterday at the opening ceremony."

"nothing."

So, what are your thoughts on the outside world's perception that you are racist towards Indians?

"I have no opinion, they did it first!"

"But Indra said in an interview this morning that he did not say those things and that the other person was spreading rumors."

"That person must be his friend."

"Yes!"

"If you're friends, why spread rumors? How bad is his character?"

If they're not friends, why spread rumors?

This person is suspicious!

Liu Jin went all out.

"Actually, I've encountered this kind of thing too."

I've noticed that people from India and Pakistan, and other conflict zones, often use a strangely arrogant tone to discriminate against Chinese people. I find it very strange—what right do a bunch of people who can't even afford to eat have to discriminate against us?

"Perhaps because they come from war-torn areas?"

"Then why not stay in your hometown, fight, and build it up?"
A bunch of guys who don't even have a home, yet they come here to swagger around? Sometimes, I really don't understand what they're thinking!
France is one of the cradles of European civilization, or at least one of the cradles of modern civilization.

"Of course!"

Why can we tolerate the existence of such lazy and good-for-nothing people?

You know, I'm a writer. As a writer, I need to read a lot of books and gather a lot of information. I once studied a period of Indian history and found the people of that country to be quite peculiar. They can disregard many moral concepts prevalent in the civilized world, readily demanding respect for traditions and customs... But how can you treat the habit of urinating and defecating in public as an unacceptable tradition and then promote it everywhere? And yet, no one criticizes them..."

"This one……"

Melissa wanted to say that many people in France also have the habit of urinating and defecating anywhere.

But after thinking about it, I realized it would be an insult to the nation, so I decided to keep quiet.

The taxi stopped at the pier.

The driver was a white man, a typical French white man.

When Liu Jin got off the bus, he still felt like he hadn't had enough.

It sounds nice, I love listening to it, I'll talk about it more...

Unfortunately, Liu Jin has to get off the bus!
He led Melissa and the photographer to the yacht.

Melissa, accompanied by a cameraman, filmed the yacht.

At that moment, Liu Jin received a phone call from China, from Leslie Cheung's number.

He had just arrived in Shanghai when he was stopped by reporters from Hong Kong Island as soon as he got off the plane. They asked him about Liu Jin's defense of him at the Cannes Film Festival.

Only then did Leslie Cheung realize what Liu Jin had done.

On the surface, he remained calm and composed, seemingly unaffected.

He simply smiled and told the reporter, "It's been almost ten years, and I don't remember those things very clearly anymore."

Amos is my good brother, and I am very grateful to him for speaking up for me.

However, I have nothing to say. Just like I said before, it's all in the past!

I've also retired from the film industry and now live a normal life in France. I have good friends and beautiful scenery to enjoy, and I feel very happy. Therefore, Amos is right, and I will support all his statements.

"I support it too!"

Mei Gu said with a smile.

He said it's all in the past!
But in fact, it was only at that moment that it truly passed.

He didn't even bother to mention that incident or those people.

In response to Liu Jin's remarks, he simply replied with two words: "Brother!"
He has already made his stance clear.

"However, that's good enough."

I know you're not afraid of them, and you don't care about them...

But they're from Hong Kong Island, you know, they value harmony and stability. I'm worried that what you said might cause you trouble.” Liu Jin couldn't help but laugh!
That's the attitude we should have.

What I fear most is when I stand up for you, and then you tell me to forget about it.

Although Leslie Cheung told him to let it go, he was mostly thinking of Lau Chun's best interests.

After all, he's from Hong Kong Island, which gives him some advantages. Liu Jin, on the other hand, is a Chinese citizen, and he's bound to encounter some unnecessary trouble.

Liu Jin laughed and said, "Mind your own business."

"Hey hey hey hey... The dog bites Lü Dongbin, not knowing the heart of a good person."

Anyway, don't go too far. Kar-Wai isn't a bad person! It's just that in the environment of Hong Kong, he just goes with the flow.

"Whatever you say goes!"

"Thank you for giving me face. Have fun over there."

I heard it was 1 vs 5, bro, you better take care of yourself.

"Get out of here!"

"Okay, bye."

Leslie Cheung hung up the phone.

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head.

"Your boat is a bit old!"

"Second-hand!"

"No way, you're a millionaire, and you're buying a second-hand yacht? How embarrassing!"

"I'm not some kind of tycoon, so don't try to provoke me... As long as you have fun, whether it's new or old doesn't really matter."

Let's go, get on the boat!

As Liu Jin spoke, he boarded the yacht.

Melissa and the cameraman followed with smiles.

The Victor-Hugo has been thoroughly cleaned and refueled.

Liu Jin started the engine and began operating the equipment on the yacht.

Ice makers, refrigerators...

After the warm-up was complete, he started the yacht and slowly sailed out of the dock.

Melissa and the cameraman, having finished filming the cabin, went together to the bridge.

"Amos!"

"Ok?"

While the cameraman was filming the seascape, Melissa leaned close to Liu Jin and whispered, "It's the Paris office of the Little Days International Cultural Exchange Foundation that's pushing this... After watching the news last night, I felt like the wind was blowing in the wrong direction."

I received the news through a colleague at the TV station.

After the interview aired last night, around 10 p.m., the M6 ​​production team received a call from them.

The content of last night's interview was also changed at the last minute.

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

"Light me a cigar, please."

He gestured to the backpack next to him.

Melissa pulled out a cigar box from inside and took out a Cohiba.

The Cohiba brand is not commonly seen in America.

Why?

Cohiba is a Cuban cigar brand, and America imposed an economic blockade on Cuba.

Almost all Cuban cigars appearing in America are counterfeit.

Of course, the American government turned a blind eye to this.

Moreover, truly good cigars are unlikely to reach the American market; they are usually consumed beforehand.

On the contrary, there are many Cuban cigars in Europe.

Moreover, they all come through legitimate channels, and not only are they plentiful, but their quality is also superior to that of similarly priced goods in the America Market.

Twenty years later, why is America so determined to destroy Europe?
It's simply because we have two jobs and live a so-so life.

Why do you have such high welfare benefits, such a leisurely and comfortable life? Even smoking a cigar is better than ours?

America, if you lose your job, you'll be homeless.

In Europe, if you lose your job, there are government relief funds available...

That's often how things are.

Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality!

Our ancestors explained this principle clearly and plainly long ago.

What did Sean say?

“What could he say?” Melissa glanced at the cameraman furtively, toasting her cigar with a lighter as she whispered, “I asked Sean… Sean said it’s mainly because they gave us too much, so we have to give them some face.”

Sean, François Sean-Singella, Meera's brother, president of M6.

Liu Jin also laughed.

"That's not wrong, a fool wouldn't turn down money!"

Melissa burst out laughing.
