I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 663 Hello, Emperor!
boom!
A thick stack of manuscript paper was placed on Professor Lapuaara's desk.

Professor Lapuaara took off his black-rimmed glasses, glanced at the words "Gone with the wind" on the cover of the manuscript, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"finished?"

"Yes!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Amos."

"It wasn't hard work. If it weren't for your help, Professor, I wouldn't have been able to calm down and focus on my work."

Liu Jin was referring to Professor Lapukara, who spoke up for him when he was attacked by Diddy and others.

The professor smiled upon hearing this.

He put his glasses back on and saw the words 'manuscript copy' written below the title on the cover.

Upon opening the cover, the title page reads: "Respectfully submitted for Professor Lapukara's collection."

Turn the page again, and you'll find the preface.

That is, the various experiences and feelings that Liu Jin encountered during the five months of creating this work.

This guy is so petty!
If this book is truly successful, then Diddy and Will will never be able to recover.

A bound book, divided into two volumes.

In addition to the preface, there is also an epilogue.

It recounts Liu Jin's reflections on his life in America over the past six months, and includes various acknowledgments.

"Have you found a publisher yet?"

Random House!

"Random House, it's alright..."

However, I heard things are a bit chaotic at Bertelsmann right now, which might affect the operations of Random House.

“I heard from Nancy that she has helped me a lot, and I want to help her in return.”

Professor Lapua nodded, indicating his agreement with Liu Jin's idea.

A writer is not a businessman.

Being grateful and repaying kindness is also a virtue.

Based on observations over the past six months, Liu Jin is a man who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment.

He was petty towards enemies, but magnanimous towards friends... He was a good person, much better than those ungrateful wretches.

Moreover, there are actually quite a few ungrateful people among writers!

"I was originally going to recommend other publishers to you, but since you've already made your decision, I won't mention them."

Amos, I will read it very carefully.

"Then I await your comments."

"If it's not written well, I'll scold you."

"That was also a form of guidance for me."

As they spoke, they both laughed!

……

Afterwards, Liu Jin visited Professor Barbara Diefendoff and presented her with a signed and bound copy.

Then he went to Dirks's office.

Liu Jin didn't have a very deep impression of this dean.

Overall, he's not bad.

At least when he was attacked, I stood by him.

However, his background...

To be honest, Liu Jin was hesitant to have too much contact with the scholars from America.

Are there any good people here?
Absolutely!
However, there are also many hypocrites.

Is Dirks a hypocrite? Liu Jin wasn't sure.

Therefore, they dared not get too close.

Dirks talked with Liu Jin for a long time.

The main reason is that Liu Jin's exchange program is about to expire, and he will be returning to France next month, to Toulouse II University.

Dirks really hoped that Liu Jin could stay in America.

But after testing the waters, I found he wasn't very interested.

He was more interested in European culture.

There's nothing we can do about it; America's history is just too short. When it comes to science, America was indeed incredibly tolerant and inclusive, truly remarkable.

But when it comes to history and culture, it seems there's really nothing to boast about.

Therefore, we had no choice but to give up.

That evening, Liu Jin carefully wrapped up the manuscript and put it in the safe.

Eva asked curiously, "Are you planning to give the manuscript away?"

"Well, I plan to give it to Mr. Blumenthal... but I'll do it after the book wins all of America's major awards."

"So confident?"

"Ha, when have I ever lacked confidence?"

Eva couldn't help but laugh.

……

The next day, Liu Jin asked Lapuaara for leave.

The professor did not make things difficult for him and approved his leave request very readily.

Liu Jin then packed his bags at home and boarded a plane that same day to Los Angeles.

He first visited Alizee, and then went to see Spielberg. But this time, he could vaguely sense that Spielberg's attitude towards him seemed to have changed.

They are no longer as affectionate as before.

During conversations, they mostly discussed the content of "The Eye of the Ferocious Beast." However, once the topic of China came up, he would become extremely obscure and profound.

"Uncle Steven has been under some pressure lately."

"What kind of pressure?"

"Xiao Rizi wanted to prevent the movie from being released, so he put pressure on him through various channels."

He now regrets making this movie... but the movie is already finished, and there's nothing he can do about it.

And haven't you noticed? Lately, public opinion hasn't been very friendly towards China.

Liu Jin scoffed, "It's as if we've never been friendly before."

Spielberg's change of attitude was not solely due to pressure from his daily life.

More importantly, there has been a recent smear campaign against China... which also represents a change in the attitude of some of America's top leadership.

Liu Jin couldn't handle political matters.

After his one-night stand with Tulsi, the two broke off contact.

Tulsi is no ordinary FBI agent; she has a high level of political acumen and is certainly more aware of the changing political climate than Liu Jin.

Therefore, Liu Jin was also very careful!
On the 26th, he met up with Xiao Li and others.

Back in March, he had already made plans with Leonardo DiCaprio to go to Mexico to see Shakira's concert.

To this end, Leonardo DiCaprio called on his friends and gathered a large group of people to go together.

Matt Damon, Tobey Maguire, Nicole Kidman, Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, and Keanu Reeves.

"Charlize originally wanted to call Will, hoping to take this opportunity to mediate your conflict."

But I stopped her; she didn't know about the feud between you two.

Liu Jin suddenly realized what was happening.

He looked at Keanu Reeves, hesitated for a moment, and then decided not to make contact.

Let's talk about it after he finishes filming Man of Tai Chi.

After all, he's currently riding high and has no shortage of resources.

……

For this trip, Leonardo DiCaprio chartered a plane and hired a security team of more than 20 people.

After all, those who know, know about Mexico!

Eva did not travel with them, but stayed in Los Angeles.

Filming for "Love in Las Vegas" is set to begin in July, and she's going to Las Vegas with Cameron Diaz.

Alizee will also be with us.

This also made Liu Jin feel somewhat disappointed.

After boarding the plane, Liu Jin sat at the very back.

Although we know each other, to be honest, we're not very familiar with each other.

Little Li can get along with anyone, but Liu Jin can't... Unless it's someone he's very familiar with, he'll be very cold towards them.

In addition, the power of fifty million US dollars has made many people keep their distance from him.

Who knows, maybe this guy will throw out another 50 million to cause trouble?

He sat in the corner, took out his drawing board, and started writing and drawing on it.

Moana, also an animated film based on America, is said to be adapted from Maori mythology...

The story tells of Moana, who comes from a family of seafarers, embarking on an adventure in search of a legendary island. There, she meets the demigod Maui and becomes his companion. Together, they encounter enormous sea creatures, as well as breathtaking darkness and ancient legends.

The demigod Maui in the animation...

Liu Jin didn't like it.

He would prefer to change the character to one from Chinese mythology, and also change the character of Moana to a Chinese figure.

A family of seafarers?

Although China did not participate in the Age of Exploration, it has the great story of Zheng He's seven voyages to the Western Ocean.

When the Ming Dynasty's treasure ships roamed the world, those so-called navigators in the West probably couldn't even make nautical charts!
Maybe……

The protagonist of his story is a descendant of the Zheng family, a young girl living in the 20s who is determined to prove the glory of the Zheng family... What should she be called? Liu Jin couldn't think of a suitable name for a while.

But as for sea monsters...

His name is Yan Gong. He is the chief steward of the Water Palace Immortals under Mazu. He was once a demon, but after being subdued by Mazu, he was appointed as a guardian deity.

He is a water monster.

With thick eyebrows and a bushy beard, and a face as black as lacquer, he was tall and robust.

Liu Jin thought for a moment and drew a cartoon face of Jiang Wen, which was then placed on Dwayne Johnson's body.

"Who is this?"

A voice sounded beside me.

Liu Jin looked up in confusion, only to see a stunningly beautiful, tall, curvaceous blonde woman sitting in the empty seat next to him.

“Charlize, Charlize Theron, hello, Mr. Amos.”

She smiled and reached out her hand to Liu Jin.

Liu Jin scratched his head and took her small hand in his.

"Hello, Ms. Theron."
