I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 615 The Belial Family's Vision (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions!!!)

Throughout July 2006, France was immersed in the joy of winning its second World Cup title.

The conflict with the Korean national team has long been forgotten.

Not only has France forgotten about its conflict with the South Korean team, but fans all over the world have stopped paying attention to the South Korean team.

Although some fans have revealed that the gesture that drove Koreans crazy was told to them by an Asian worker...

But who cares?

Except for Koreans!
They were pretty sure that the 'Asian worker' the Togolese people were talking about was probably Liu Jin.

The main reason was that Liu Jingang had a conflict with the Koreans before that game.

Given how the world knows Liu Jin, he will definitely retaliate!

But what can be done?

Even the Togolese people couldn't recognize Liu Jin.

Unless someone brings Liu Jin to them.

The question is, can Togolese people really recognize them?
Moreover, Liu Jin is a billionaire with a net worth of over one billion US dollars.

Perhaps a billion dollars is nothing to the super-rich, but for ordinary people, it is an unattainable dream.

Even many girls in South Korea became incredibly infatuated with Liu Jin after seeing his photos!

Liu Jin himself never imagined that one day he would become an 'Oppa'!
But that's not important!
He will never go to South Korea in his lifetime.

Why go to South Korea?
Do you want some kimchi?

You might as well go to Yanbian; the kimchi there is probably more authentic.

The Koreans did protest to the Chinese government.

But China only gave one sentence: Evidence!
You say Liu Jin is provoking us, then produce the evidence... We can't just take action because you're making baseless accusations, can we?

That's a famous Chinese writer who lived in Europe!

In any case, even if the Koreans are unwilling, they have no choice but to bear this loss alone.

……

Liu Jin has returned to Toulouse.

Ottilie was over eight months pregnant, and looked like she was nine months along.

His temper became increasingly erratic, giving Lao Zhong a real hard time.

"Old Liu, can I borrow your manor for a bit?"

After Liu Jin returned, Lao Zhong made the request.

According to Mela, wouldn't it be better to send Ottilie to the hospital and have a doctor take care of her?

But Ottilie said she couldn't stand the smell of the hospital.

“I have no problem with going to Gryzan, but the problem is, what about the hospitals there…”

"If something happens, it will be too late."

Ottilie's parents nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Old Zhong patted his chest proudly, "I'll just hire a delivery team, won't that solve the problem?"
My wife can't stand the smell of the hospital, so we won't go to the hospital.

"Hire a mobile surgical unit and a team, so if the baby goes into labor, we can deliver it right here on the estate."

His sheer arrogance inspired awe in his parents-in-law.

As for Ottilie's brother, Old Zhong's brother-in-law, he looked on with adoration.

"Old Zhong!"

Ottilie was furious.

"Tell me honestly, how much secret money have you been hiding?"

"I haven't been hiding any money. Don't you know all about my money?"

"Bullshit, don't think I don't know. All your money is in my hands, but you've never asked me for pocket money."

Tell me, is there something else you're hiding from me?

Old Zhong smacked his lips, covered his face with a bitter expression, and walked away.

Liu Jin, who knew his worth well, watched his retreating figure, put his hands on his hips, and laughed heartily.

"Scumbag!"

"Hey, Ottilie, I didn't do anything to you."

He spent a romantic night with Monica on the ship, and then ran off to Germany to be with Heidi.

"You still say you're not a jerk?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin sighed, covered his face, and retreated.

After Ottilie got pregnant, she turned into a sharp-tongued woman.

She was nothing like her former gentle and virtuous self. Even Mela suffered several sharp tongue attacks from Ottilie and had to leave in a sorry state.

Otherwise, given Ottilie's large size, Mela, as her friend, should have come to keep her company.

However, Liu Jin did not see her...

Ottilie's brother, on the other hand, just chuckled.

Privately, he secretly told Liu Jin, "Actually, this is my sister's true nature."

So, Lao Zhong was fooled?
But it seems it's too late...

In any case, Old Zhong eventually hired a team and took Ottilie and her family to the Groussan Estate for a rest and recuperation.

The air is fresh and it's quiet there.

Most importantly, Liu Jin installed central air conditioning in the manor.

In a country where almost no one uses air conditioning, the Château de Grüssán is clearly better off than continuing to suffer in Toulouse.

Of course, Old Zhong's house also has air conditioning.

but……

He also complained to Liu Jin in private: "Sometimes I really can't understand the French people's thought process."

"They're clearly asking for trouble!"

This applies not only to France, but to all of Europe in the future.

While America's air conditioning was left on all night, Europeans were reluctant to turn it on, claiming they wanted to enjoy the natural temperature.

Then every year, many people die from the heat.

This is the South of France!
It's hotter than Paris.

Europeans who invite trouble where they're not guilty.

In March of this year, Singra Publishing received another investment.

It was Hachette's investment.

Arnold Lagardère acquired 30 percent of Singella for $20 million.

It was still managed by Mela, but she could enjoy Hachette's publishing channels.

This further strengthened the capabilities of Singer Publishing.

However, Mela did not expand aggressively, and continued to publish about twenty books a year.

Exceptionally outstanding works will be published through Hachette and Midnight Publishing, while mediocre works can be handled by Singer on his own.

This also greatly reduced the pressure on publishers.

Although some of the profits were taken away, Mela's income did not decrease by comparison!
Moreover, Mela's biggest source of income is Liu Jin's agent fees.

Every year, she can take away millions of dollars in commission from Liu Jin's agency contract, and now she has accumulated tens of millions of dollars in assets.

She could be considered a moderately wealthy woman!
However, Mela is very low-key.

They also rarely show off or flaunt their wealth...

When I go out, I usually drive a Peugeot.

Her place of residence remains the same house her family gave her.

She's a bit greedy and likes sweets.

However, she also pays great attention to maintenance and exercise. At 171 cm tall and 110 catties, she has a plump and beautiful figure.

"Are you starting another film crew?"

Mela was a little surprised.

So far this year, Liu Jin has already started three film crews.

The Chorus, La Vie en Rose, No Turning Back.

The total investment amounted to twenty to thirty million...

Again?

"I want to start 'The Bélier Family,' and Sissi happens to be there too..."

Liu Jin finally understood one thing: why Liu Tianxian had run away to Toulouse so early on.

She graduated!
In the blink of an eye, she graduated.

The main issue is her age, which can easily lead to misconceptions.

He's only nineteen years old, and he's already graduated from university.

If Mr. An hadn't explained the situation, Liu Jin might have really overlooked it.

This girl seems to have entered the Beijing Film Academy in 02. This year, she received the highest score in her graduation defense with her paper "On the Creativity of Filmmakers".

In the article, she mentioned Liu Jin.

The paper mentions Liu Jin's works to enhance its persuasiveness.

It's worth noting that last year, Liu Jin's film "Life Is Beautiful" became the highest-grossing film in China, breaking the box office record set by "Titanic." Although he didn't return to China, he has, in effect, built a powerful community.

Auntie Xiaotang from the Filmmakers Association.

Han Shanping of China Film Group, Ren Zhonglun of Shadow of the Demon.

It's the kind of situation where he's not in the country, but his legend lives on in China.

Of course, there are also many people who don't like him.

But how?
At least within the Beijing Film Academy, he is quite famous.

"At her age, she is at the best age."

This girl isn't exactly a naturally gifted performer. I'm worried that once she gets older, she might not be able to capture the essence of Bélier.

In the prime of youth, we are full of fantasies about the outside world...

Liu Jin was genuinely worried that in a few years, Liu Tianxian might not be able to portray that youthful feeling anymore.

Moreover, due to Liu Jin's presence, Liu Tianxian did not star in "The Forbidden Kingdom".

Leaving aside Minkoff's directing skills and the script's compromise between two cultural values, let's just talk about the filthy circle of Beijing... To be honest, Aunt Liu might not want Liu Yifei to enter that circle. In the original timeline, Aunt Liu got something for nothing, and then went back on her word, angering the Wang brothers, which is one of the reasons why Liu Yifei has so many scandals.

In this life, Liu Tianxian followed Leslie Cheung and Jiang Wen, and her horizons broadened.

Moreover, after "The Bélier Family" was created last year, Liu Jin told Tianxian to prepare herself.

She's destined to become an international superstar...

Re-entering the Beijing circle?
Aunt Liu wasn't particularly willing either.

Liu Yifei came to France right after graduation, actually to avoid the entanglements of the Beijing entertainment circle.

Yes, that's what Mr. An said.

Mela thought for a moment and said, "So who are you planning to direct? Still under the SNEG name?"

"Yes, in the name of SNEG, bring Kasimmi in again."

And then there's Metropolitan Films. I hope this film can win an Oscar, and then we can bring in another Hollywood company, preferably a small one with Jewish connections, not a big one.

Mela quickly jotted down Liu Jin's requirements in her notebook.

"Where's the director?"

"How about director Jean-Pierre Jeunet?"

Liu Jin laughed and said, "Ever since he won the Oscar in 04, he seems to have become quite lazy."

Mela laughed and said, "It's not that he's lazy. He directed a movie called 'A Very Long Engagement' in 04, but he hasn't had any new work since then."

A few days ago I asked Sophie about it in Leipzig, and he said he's been doing odd jobs here and there, a bit of a frivolous pursuit.

"Then I'll contact him."

Where are the actors?

Liu Jin thought for a moment and said, "Gigi Bélier, I plan to invite Ms. Isabelle Huppert to star in this film."

"Well, regarding Rodolphe Bélier, I have two choices: Javier Bardem and Jean Reno. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Mela couldn't help but laugh and say, "Sorry, I don't understand, I can't give you any advice!"

After saying that, she stood up.

"You should discuss this with Director Jeunet."
