I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 587 Mr. An's Future
It was Mr. An on the phone.

In fact, Mr. An had been calling all day, but could not get through.

Helpless, Liu Jin sailed his yacht out to sea, where there was no signal, so he couldn't get in touch with anyone, which made him very anxious.

"Comrade Li is unaware of the situation, and the leadership has already criticized him."

He has already been suspended from his duties and may soon be sent back to China.

"It's not that serious."

"some!"

Mr. An realized that Liu Jin didn't care too much about the matter, and he relaxed as well.

"Where did you go today? I haven't been able to reach you."

"Um, I went out to sea with the M6 ​​reporter... By the way, I got some information that the media hype surrounding this matter was actually orchestrated by the Paris office of the Little Days International Cultural Exchange Foundation. Lao An, why don't you talk to the higher-ups about it? Let's set up an office of this kind too. We can spend money where necessary, achieve great things with a small budget, why not?"

"This one……"

Mr. An didn't know what to say.

It's very complicated!
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I have a message for you."

"what?"

"I may have to leave DSG this October."

"Return to China?"

"of course not!"

Mr. An sounded relaxed, so he probably hadn't done anything wrong.

Therefore, Liu Jin was not too nervous.

Mr. An said, "The Confucius Institute will be officially established next year, and I will be in charge of the work there from now on."

Confucius Institute?

Liu Jin was silent!
He roughly understood the domestic intention: to use the Confucius Institute for external publicity, enhance exchanges, and promote cultural export.

The idea is good.

But he felt that it was probably a waste of time.

This thing, unlike those overseas offices, doesn't involve specific tasks.

That's too metaphysical!
You're clearly trying to generate damage and create conflict; even if it succeeds, you'll still be the target.

Just you wait and see, in the end, not only will you have wasted a lot of money, but the results will be even worse than those of everyday household chores.

You need to provide specific details.

In the future, those short videos, whether they're trash or not, will still be produced.

As for whether it can be considered a success?
Liu Jin said he couldn't be sure.

The internet is a mix of truth and falsehood, making it difficult to distinguish between them.

But academies are such a hollow, pretentious thing...

Don't keep saying that foreigners are interested!
People all over the world are only interested in money.

With the same real money, Xiao Ri Zi (小日子) can make the whole world love their anime.

As for China, it's hard to say...

After thinking for a moment, Liu Jin could only say, "Old An, good luck."

……

After hanging up the phone with Mr. An, I finally stepped into the elevator.

Before the elevator doors even closed, someone outside shouted, "Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Immediately afterwards, a short leg reached in and blocked the elevator door from closing.

Then, the door opened, and a petite figure slipped inside.

"Avril?"

"Ha, Amos!"

Avril, covered in sweat, looked at Liu Jin in surprise and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Why can't I be here?"

"I ran into Monica when I came out of the cinema."

They went out for a dinner party, why are you back?

"Ah, I didn't go out to sea with them today."

"Cool! You're so free, unlike us, who have to participate in all sorts of activities."

Liu Jin couldn't help laughing!
I vaguely recall seeing Alizee sneaking out of the hotel to drink beer, or perhaps someone was strolling alone on the street to relax because of nervousness.

They are all people who do not conform to the rules.

"why are you laughing?"

"Nothing, I just feel..."

Liu Jin suddenly remembered something and took out his camera from his backpack.

Let's take a picture together!

"And me?"

"Yes."

Are you a fan of mine?

"of course not!"

"then you……"

"Fate brings us together even from a thousand miles away. You came from America, and it's such a coincidence that we met. What a wonderful destiny!"

As Liu Jin spoke, he had already turned on his camera.

He raised his camera high and pointed it at him and Avril.

Click, one photo done.

"Hey, you're not trying to hit on me, are you?"

"what?"

“I have a boyfriend, and you’re too much of a womanizer. I see your scandals every day in America. We’re not a good match.”

"What are you thinking about!"

Liu Jin was both amused and exasperated. He then took out an Avril Lavigne record from his backpack and asked her to sign it as a souvenir.

This girl is really cool. She wrote on it: We're not a good match. Thank you for your kind words. To Amos.

Liu Jin's lips twitched.

Just in time, the elevator has arrived.

Liu Jin looked at her, sighed, and said, "Okay, very cool!"

The young woman with smoky eye makeup made a rock and roll gesture at her, and then the elevator doors slowly closed.

I was actually rejected?
Liu Jin stood at the elevator entrance and suddenly burst into laughter.

The elevator doors suddenly opened, and Avril was standing inside.

She said very seriously, "Amos, you're a good person, don't be sad." Then the elevator doors closed again.

Liu Jin was left alone in the corridor, unsure whether to cry or laugh. In the end, he could only sigh and turn back into the house.

……

Cocktail parties, cocktail parties that never stop.

For the next two days, Liu Jin shuttled between various movie premiere ceremonies.

He watched two French films and one Italian film.

The French films are "Transylvania" and "Charlie's Opinion".

Among them, "Transylvania" is the Chinese title, also known as "The Journey of Love," and it's a film that can't be found on Baidu. The director, Tony Gatliffer, is a native French director.

It tells the story of a rebellious girl named Gingerina, who lives a life of unbridled freedom and travels to Transylvania in search of her lover. In the end, she begins a life of wandering with a homeless little girl... a very strange theme.

Tony isn't a Gypsy!
But in the film, that strong Gypsy atmosphere is palpable.

Well, the main problem is that Liu Jin didn't understand the story. After reading it, he was still confused, his mind a complete mess.

"Samuel, did you understand?"

He asked quietly.

Samuel glanced to both sides and shook his head.

He didn't understand either.

Many French directors have this problem: they present something vague and incomprehensible, which they then call art.

If I had to give it a theme, it would be "broken"!

A woman who was tricked into having sex became pregnant. Accompanied by a friend, she went to Transylvania, Romania, to find the scumbag. However, after finding him, she suddenly realized that she no longer loved him. In the end, she left her friend and, filled with despair and heartbreak, wandered with a homeless little girl... Is she envious of the lifestyle of Gypsy women?
Liu Jin couldn't understand it!
He didn't even understand why his heart was broken.

It's because you don't love the other person anymore...

It's so inexplicable!
The key point is that many people cheered, applauded, and Sunglasses Wang even stood up excitedly.

Not that bad!
The other judges also wanted to stand up, but seeing that Liu Jin didn't move, they didn't get up either.

This also makes Sunglasses Wang appear very unconventional.

"dislike?"

Monica asked quietly.

"No, it's that I didn't understand it."

"what?"

Are all European girls this awkward?
Also, the lead actor, I think he's an Italian actor.

"Yes, Elsa Argento, her father is Dario Argento, a very famous Italian director."

"The one who brought back the ghost?"

"Ok!"

Horror film director.

However, Elsa Argento is not bad-looking, and she should be quite familiar to Chinese movie fans.

In 2002, she played the female lead in "xXx," starring Vin Diesel.

No wonder it looked familiar.

"Anyway, among the European women I know, I've never seen anyone so awkward... I don't even understand how she... I just can't appreciate it."

Monica covered her mouth and giggled.

This was originally a very ordinary premiere.

However, the fact that the Wang family did not stand up to applaud, while the other judges did not stand up as well, was keenly observed by the film magazine.

Therefore, the reports that day further amplified the claim of discord within the judging panel.

This made Liu Jin feel very awkward at the subsequent two premieres.

It seems that his every move is being watched. No matter what he does, even scratching his nose, it becomes a confrontation between him and Wang Jiawei.

So on the third day, he decided not to participate.

During the day, he writes in the hotel.

In the evenings, he would wander alone among the various movie theaters.

He watched every movie he was supposed to see, including "Babel" and "Volver" which he watched three times each.

Penelope Cruz's performance in the film was excellent, but...

That makeup was a bit unbearable.

On the fifth day of the film festival, the 23rd, Liu Jin finally completed the creation of "Get Out".

He then adjusted his writing plan.

The original title, "Hibernation," was changed to "Self-Destruction."

The main reason was that he saw Emily Blunt that day, which reminded him of the movie again.

The creation of "Amos's Fantastic Journey" was primarily aimed at securing the copyrights for future film and television productions.

The length of the text is suitable for writing a novel of about 150,000 words, but not for excessive compression.

Therefore, Liu Jin decided to use "Sicario" instead of "Hibernation".

Anne Hathaway and her entourage left Cannes the day after the opening ceremony.

This left Liu Jin somewhat disappointed.

After that, Emmanuel and Marion also left...

Fortunately, Melissa was still there, and Liu Jin had her room key, so he successfully ambushed her twice, which made life less monotonous.

But Melissa left soon after!

Her interview assignment is complete.

At the closing ceremony, TF1's top female player, Xia Sha'er, will take over.

Meanwhile, Melissa is preparing for the filming of the next season of "Forbidden Zone".

"Amos, where do you think we should choose for the next season?"

I've already tried islands, mountains, and all those so-called forbidden places.

So this season, they want to try something new!

Liu Jin's eyes darted around, and he said softly, "How about trying India?"

"what?"

“Find a slum, increase the prize money, and let them live there for a month. I think there will be many stories to tell.”

However, you'd better hire more security personnel, and prepare food and drinking water in advance.

And doctors and medicine...

"You Europeans are so small, I'm worried you won't be able to handle it."

"Is it really that scary?!"

“When you go out, it’s better to be prepared.”

Melissa was quite tempted upon hearing this...
