I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 650 Car accident
Columbia University had previously expressed its opinion, but its stance was not very strong.

Aside from Dirks, only a few professors were interviewed... Professor Lacapra led the group, and Professor Barbara Dieffendorf also said a few words, mainly focusing on protecting the rights of writers.

There wasn't much discussion about Liu Jin.

But now that Dirks has spoken, the impact is naturally different.

Multiple media outlets have published articles praising Columbia University's School of Arts and Sciences.

The gist is: Amos is under our protection, so don't go too far!
Of course, their word choice and sentence structure wouldn't be so crude; Americans love to play word games and speak in roundabout ways.

But the more roundabout they are, the more it shows how much they value it.

Several Black media outlets that had been trying to promote Will and Diddy suddenly became quiet after Columbia University issued its statement.

Attacks, rumors, and smears will definitely continue.

After all, Diddy and the others paid for it.

Once you've taken the money, you have to do the job, otherwise people will say we Black people are untrustworthy.

Black people don't cheat other black people; that's our principle.

However, compared to the large-scale achievements of the past, the scale and impact were significantly reduced.

It all boils down to starting with Liu Jin's scandals: who he's hooking up with, how he's juggling multiple relationships...

America doesn't place much importance on this aspect.

Liu Jin is not married, so he doesn't care what he does.

Besides, he's a rich man, we ordinary folks can just enjoy the show... Even someone who wasn't interested in Liu Jin before couldn't resist buying a couple of books after seeing so many scandals, hoping to learn something from them.

But for Liu Jin...

Do you think I'm afraid of you when you have a lot of lice?

He still focuses his energy on creative work.

……

Negotiations for "I Am Legend" have sped up!
Columbia Pictures had no choice but to act quickly, as Universal had already gotten involved.

Moreover, once you get involved, you can't back out.

Ultimately, Columbia Pictures, Universal Pictures, and Sony Pictures (America) collaborated on a joint investment of $170 million.

SNEG and Shadow also participated, investing $30 million.

Ren Zhonglun flew directly from Shanghai to America and secured a $20 million share, which greatly displeased Liu Jin.

Originally, I only planned to give him ten million...

Ren Zhonglun, with a serious expression, said, "We agreed that Demon Shadow would be involved in investing in 'Night at the Museum,' and I prepared thirty million US dollars. But you kicked Demon Shadow out with just one sentence. Do you know how Zuo Shandiao mocked me?"

"And I also have to explain to the board of directors that I've already given you a lot of face with 20 million!"

Liu Jin looked at him and rolled his eyes.

Whether or not he invests is irrelevant; Liu Jin doesn't make money from this anyway.

They were just dissatisfied with Ren Moulun's domineering attitude.

You even called Han Mouping a bandit leader; you're not much different.

"By the way, have you notified Xiao Guo yet?"

"Of course I notified him. I asked him to go to London to live for six months in advance... After Eva finishes 'Before Sunset,' she will also go to London to experience life. Filming will probably start in October of the second half of the year, and Sofia's side is already preparing."

"That's good!"

Liu Jin was taken aback and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"You don't know, after you mentioned it to Xiao Guo the year before last, that guy went back and turned down several film offers, focusing all his energy on stage plays. Then he spent all his time practicing his English, and even found a female exchange student from London at Fudan University to be his foreign teacher."

Many people in the industry are mocking him, saying that whether something he said casually will become a reality is another matter, and that he's obsessed with becoming an international superstar.

Liu Jin smiled wryly.

"But he persevered, didn't he?"

"Yes, we persevered!"

Chairman Ren sighed and said, "It's fortunate that he persevered!"

Liu Jin smiled, said nothing more, and clinked glasses with him.

"I heard you've run into some trouble?"

"It's nothing, it's all taken care of!"

"If you need any help, just let me know."

"I will."

Liu Jin smiled, clinked glasses with him again, and drank it all in one gulp.

Aren't you going back home for Chinese New Year?

"Time is a bit tight, I probably won't be able to get back."

A hint of nostalgia flashed in Liu Jin's eyes; it had been two years since he had been home.

Mom will come to visit again during the summer vacation, but Dad...

Although there are internet phones and video calls, nothing can compare to having your children by your side.

Next year, I'll definitely go back next year!
Liu Jin secretly made up his mind.

At this time, the phone suddenly rang.

Liu Jin didn't pay much attention and casually picked up the phone to answer it.

"Amos!"

Chloe's sobbing came through the phone, "We've been in a car accident!"

"what?"

"Mera is injured. We're waiting for an ambulance. She'll be taken there soon, officer. Which hospital is it?"

Amos, Mount Sinai, we're going to Mount Sinai Hospital in a bit.

"Okay, I understand. Genevieve and I will be there right away. Don't worry, see you in a bit."

"it is good!"

Liu Jin hung up the phone and immediately told the waiter to pay the bill.

Mr. Ren asked, "What happened?" "My agent was in a car accident, and I need to go to Mount Sinai Hospital immediately."

Mr. Ren, I won't keep you company any longer..."

"Hey, let's go together. After all, I've met Mela a few times."

"it is good!"

Liu Jin stood up and grabbed his coat.

Genevieve had already gone out and driven away. Liu Jin and Chairman Ren waited for a moment before Genevieve drove over.

Mount Sinai Hospital.

Liu Jin said after getting into the car.

Genevieve agreed, and after Mr. Ren was seated in the back, she started the car and sped away.

Mount Sinai Hospital is located in Manhattan, not too far from where Liu Jin and his friends had dinner.

Today, Liu Jin is treating Chairman Ren to dinner. Knowing that there will be drinking involved, he asked Genevieve to be his driver and come along.

Unexpectedly...

The air pressure inside the car is very low.

Neither Ren Dong nor Genevieve spoke.

Liu Jin, sitting in the passenger seat, dialed Chloe's cell phone again.

After asking a few questions, I learned that she and Mela had already gotten into an ambulance and were on their way to the hospital.

How is Mela?

"I'm fine... but it seems like I broke my leg."

Mela's voice was a little weak, "Liu, drive slowly, don't rush."

"okay, I get it!"

Liu Jin hung up the phone.

However, just as he hung up the phone, his cell phone rang.

Liu Jin answered the phone.

"Amos, are you alright?"

"Kanye, I'm fine."

It's a bit noisy over there in Kanye, like it's at a nightclub.

Liu Jin asked, "Is it Diddy?"

"Ok!"

“I understand, thank you… Kanye, the last time I saw Donna, I felt she wasn’t feeling well… You know, I need to learn a lot because of my writing, including some skills in Traditional Chinese Medicine. If you trust me, find some time to take her to the hospital for a checkup, especially her heart…”

Kanye was silent on the phone.

After a moment, he said softly, "Okay, I understand, thank you!"

Immediately, the call was hung up.

Liu has been in New York for several months now and has picked up some New York accent.

In addition, his voice was not loud and he spoke quickly, so Mr. Ren did not understand him very well.

However, Genevieve understood.

She glanced at Liu Jin.

When did the boss start learning traditional Chinese medicine?

However, seeing Liu Jin's gloomy face, she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

As Liu Jin's personal wealth, fame, and honors grew, an air of authority inevitably arose within him. Normally, he was all smiles and jokes, giving the impression of a big boy who hadn't quite grown up, making it difficult to perceive that kind of authority. But now, when his face hardened, that authority was somewhat intimidating.

Genevieve is a worldly person.

She was also a little scared in front of Liu Jin at this moment.

After a moment of silence, Liu Jin took a cell phone from the car's storage compartment and dialed a number.

The phone is a spare phone; I don't use it much, so I just leave it in the storage box.

Liu Jin has several such phones.

"Ottilie, it's me, Amos. Is Old Zhong there?"

"He's comforting the child, wait a minute... Lao Zhong, Amos is looking for you! By the way, why did you change your phone?"

I'll tell you later.

At this moment, Lao Zhong answered the phone, "Lao Liu, what's up?"

"I want to kill someone!"

"what?"

"But I can't kill anyone..."

"what happened?"

"Mera and Chloe were in a car accident. They're not in any life-threatening danger, but Mela seems to have broken a bone. I'm on my way to the hospital."

"and then?"

“It’s those black guys’ trick. I’d heard rumors beforehand that they couldn’t beat me in a head-on fight, so they were resorting to underhanded tactics. I didn’t take it seriously at first, but I didn’t expect them to target Mela and Chloe. I can’t stand it.”

"So what do you want to do?"

"I can't kill people, but I want to drive those black people crazy and make them live in fear."

After saying that, Liu Jin added, "Diddy, Will Smith, Jay-Z, Kanye West."

I'll offer fifty million... I don't want their lives, but I want them to never be able to sleep in the days to come.

Mr. Ren sat in the back seat, his eyes wide open.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.
