I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 590 Breakups Always Come Before Dawn

May 28th, Sunday.

The closing ceremony of the 59th Cannes Film Festival was held in the evening.

Liu Jin then took advantage of the daytime to complete the creation of "From Now On".

Two days, 33,000 words.

Not bad!

Next up is "Sicario," which Liu Jin calculated to be about 40,000 words long.

In that case, Amos's Fantastic Journey 2, with a total of 180,000 words, is already sufficient according to the publication notes.

It should be completed around the beginning of next month!

Liu Jin finally felt much more at ease.

Next month, June...

Hmm, the opening ceremony of the World Cup in Germany is on June 9th, so I can go there and join in the fun.

As for the exam?

He has completed his studies for this year.

One film, Les Misérables, is enough to earn him an outstanding achievement.

Even Professor Michel said that he doesn't need to come to school this academic year...

Of course, he still has to study the assigned lessons on his own. After the start of the new semester in September, Professor Michel will examine him.

In other words, his summer vacation has already begun!

In the afternoon, Qianqian called him and asked if he could come to Mays to attend her graduation ceremony on June 5th.

My older sister is now a civil servant, at the level of section chief.

Needless to say, Dad definitely won't get out.

My mom only went back at the end of last year, so she might not be willing to make the long journey again.

Actually, my mom is a very lazy person.

How far is it from Zhongzhou to her hometown Pinghu? She doesn't go back very often anyway.

Of course, she had her reasons.

Liu Jin wasn't quite sure...

But if you ask her to go to France again, she will absolutely not agree.

Thinking about it, Qianqian is quite pitiful.

I've been alone in Metz for four years now... It's really not right that I didn't even have a family member show up when I graduated.

After thinking it over, Liu Jin readily agreed.

Over the phone, you could tell that Qianqian was extremely happy when Liu Jin agreed.

……

There were noticeably fewer familiar faces at the closing ceremony.

Adjani and Tautou did not receive a call from the organizing committee and left Cannes yesterday.

Before leaving, Liu Jin completed the outline and synopsis of "The Mystery of Changing Babies" and then asked Isabelle Adjani to find someone to produce the script as soon as possible.

"Once you've finished the script, I'll contact director Eastwood immediately."

When the time comes, have Audrey audition and prepare properly. It would be best if she could go to Riverside to learn more about the case.

During auditions, I can be in a more accurate state of mind.

"A script for me?"

Audrey was a little stunned and didn't react.

This movie, originally released in 08, was directed by Clint Eastwood and starred Angelina Jolie.

A highly acclaimed work.

Angelina Jolie received multiple nominations for this film.

Including the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars...

As for whether Audrey will receive a nomination?
That depends on whether her agency is willing to put in the effort. But one thing is certain: this film will be extremely beneficial to her future development, preventing her from being relegated to playing mostly imitations of Emily as she has before.

Audrey excitedly kissed Liu Jin.

But then he remembered something and secretly glanced at Isabelle Adjani.

Isabelle Adjani didn't seem to care much; she simply stood by, smiling gently.

"Amos, thank you!"

"Ha, you're too kind."

Liu Jin hugged her, then watched as Adjani and Audrey got into the car and headed straight for the airport.

"Amos, thank you!"

On my way back to the hotel, I bumped into Brad Pitt.

He expressed his sincere gratitude to Liu Jin.

Through Samuel L. Jackson, he learned that Liu Jin was working hard to get him a Best Actor nomination at the discussion.

He wasn't familiar with Liu Jin.

I've met him twice at Leonardo DiCaprio's parties, but we've never spoken.

They didn't even leave their phone numbers.

Samuel didn't say much, but Brad Pitt, being a seasoned veteran, had already roughly guessed the final outcome.

He waited in the lobby to express his gratitude to Liu Jin.

As for Brad Pitt...

I don't have a bad impression of Liu Jin.

Before "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," he really liked this guy, even ranking him above Leonardo DiCaprio.

That guy's obsessed with the Oscars!
She is increasingly wasting her own life, completely betraying her stunning good looks.

With a stubble beard...

Even though he later gave an outstanding performance in Inception, Liu Jin still found it hard to accept.

Is it really necessary to make such a fuss over such a trivial award?

But for Leonardo DiCaprio, it might be worth it. He even attended a white party! Thank goodness he wasn't wearing a maid outfit, otherwise I would have definitely kept my distance.

To be honest, America has become increasingly abnormal since Guan Hai took office!

……

After the closing ceremony's red carpet, came the awards ceremony.

Nothing new, just the same old thing!
As a result, the camera repeatedly panned between Liu Jin and Wang Jiawei.

The numerous clashes and fierce battles between the chairman of the judging panel and Liu Jin were vividly described by the organizing committee staff.

Slamming the table, hurling insults, engaging in heated arguments...

For the average person watching, it's entertaining and enjoyable!

It can only be said that Mr. Fu Mao is in no way inferior to those public relations companies when it comes to creating hype; he's going to great lengths to stir up trouble.

Thankfully, it's all over!
Wang Jiawei's final statement was also very calm.

Many interesting things happened at this year's awards ceremony.

But we all know very well that all the disagreements and disputes are based on a love for film, not on any personal grudges.

The Chairman himself admitted that there was a contradiction!

So as the awards were announced one by one, the expressions of the people in the audience varied.

When Penelope stepped onto the stage as the Cannes Film Festival's Best Actress winner, she blurted out, "Thank you, Mr. Amos, for speaking out for justice. He truly demonstrated the Cannes Film Festival's principles of fairness, openness, and impartiality!"

Liu Jin, who was in the audience, immediately covered his face.

Sister, this is a time to calm down, not to stir up trouble.

How can you put the Chairman in such an awkward position?
Monica, sitting next to him, couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle incessantly, which only made Liu Jin more annoyed.

"Just wait, rumors about you and her will definitely spread tomorrow."

"That's exactly what I'm afraid of!"

Liu Jin lowered his head and said helplessly.

"Cool and delicious!"

"Stop laughing..."

Liu Jin rolled his eyes.

Luckily he was wearing sunglasses today, otherwise he would have been exposed.

Hopefully, Havel won't misunderstand.

"Cool and delicious..."

Monica just kept laughing and didn't comment.

"when are you leaving?"

"I haven't decided yet, what about you?"

Liu Jin thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow."

"Shall we set sail?"

"Yes!"

"Then take me to Ladispoli."

"where?"

"Ladispoli, the port closest to Rome."

Liu Jin looked completely bewildered.

He certainly knew about Rome, but this was the first time he had ever heard of anything like Poli.

"How far is it? Are there any ports along the way for resupply?"

"They're everywhere... You've even been to Sardinia, don't you know about Ladispoli?"

"does it matter?"

"It's just across the Tyrrhenian Sea."

Liu Jin scratched his head, having no recollection of it at all.

However, the camera captured the two whispering to each other.

So much so that they were only awakened by the surrounding laughter when the host, Xia Sha'er, started to tease them.

Oops, I forgot this was a live stream!

Liu Jin and Monica immediately put on a serious face, which drew another burst of laughter.

Director Wang sat in front of them, forcing a smile, but his face was dark... thankfully he was wearing sunglasses.

……

The lengthy awards ceremony is finally over!
Liu Jin had no intention of attending the subsequent events in the world of fame and fortune; instead, he planned to return to his hotel to rest.

As a result, Brad Pitt stopped them and called Samuel and Tim, planning to find a bar to have some fun.

This guy is a scumbag!
All I want to do every day is have fun...

However, Liu Jin did not refuse.

These past few days have been filled with watching movies and writing. It's a good thing Melissa left on the 25th, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to handle this kind of hard work.

It's good to relax!
Just as he was about to leave, Penelope stopped him.

Upon hearing that they were going out for drinks, Penelope immediately offered to join them.

"Big sister, if we keep going like this, Javier will get jealous."

"Tch, he wouldn't do that. He's been thinking about his next project the whole time."

Or do you actually have feelings for me?

"Hey, there are kids here!"

Liu Jin pointed at Michelle Jenna, who looked completely bewildered.

Jenna was furious when she heard this.

"You're the child, your whole family are children, and I'm almost twenty!"
