I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 666 I Join!
That evening, a fierce water gun battle broke out at the Four Seasons Hotel swimming pool.

After being initially stunned by the attack, Leonardo fought back, snatching a large water gun from Bar Refaeli, then killing Bar and Matt Damon, who had come to help.

He used the huge swimming pool as his battlefield, sometimes jumping into the water to replenish his water bombs, and sometimes rushing ashore to attack anyone he saw.

Originally, everyone was just joking around.

However, Leonardo DiCaprio treated it as a real battle.

Bar, Matt, and others initially sided with him.

However, this guy couldn't distinguish friend from foe, and after gaining an advantage, he became smug, which finally angered everyone.

Just as everyone was besieging Little Li, Liu Jin appeared.

He somehow got hold of a fire hose and shouted, "Leon, I'll help!"

Then, the valve was opened.

Upon receiving the signal, Charlize and the others immediately moved aside.

A jet of water sprayed directly onto Leonardo DiCaprio, knocking him off the shore and into the pool.

When he lay on the shore, he was completely dazed!
Wearing his sunglasses askew, he yelled at Liu Jin, "Amos, aim before you shoot!"

"Hahaha, I did it on purpose!"

After Liu Jin finished speaking, he dropped the water pipe and ran away.

Enraged, Little Li climbed out of the water, grabbed a water gun from the shore, and charged towards the other side.

As it turned out, Liu Jin somehow found a giant water gun shaped like a Gatling gun in some hidden corner, and charged out yelling "I'm back!" Compared to Liu Jin's Gatling gun, Little Li's water gun was nothing.

As he was attacked by water bombs, Leonardo DiCaprio ran away while laughing loudly.

"Amos, you wait, I will get my revenge!"

Clearly, he was quite pleased with himself for being hit by the water bomb.

……

Actually, Leonardo DiCaprio wasn't happy this year.

Despite a constant stream of film offers and a soaring commercial value, he was simply unhappy.

Blood Diamond failed.

The Oscars preferred to nominate Djimon Hounsou for Best Supporting Actor rather than Best Actor.

Eva didn't say anything more!

In Oscar's opinion, the female reporter she played was just a pretty face.

However, I wonder if those old guys will dare to say that again next year.

Even the Infernal Affairs failed!
Martin Scorsese got his wish, winning both Best Picture and Best Director.

Neither Leonardo DiCaprio nor Matt Damon, who starred in the film, received a nomination.

Furthermore, this year's Oscars made a fatal mistake by referring to "Infernal Affairs" as a "Japanese film".

If this were in the original timeline, neither Martin nor Leonardo DiCaprio would point out this mistake.

However, this time, when Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese went on stage to accept their awards, they pointed out the mistakes with righteous indignation and expressed their criticism of the Oscars.

He received critical acclaim from the Hong Kong film industry.

It also received high praise from the Chinese government.

But this will make his path to winning an Oscar even more difficult.

He was not happy about this.

I just can't seem to muster the energy to do anything.

It wasn't until this month that things started to improve... Otherwise, given Leonardo DiCaprio's personality, he would have already gone to New York to visit Liu Jin.

Liu Jin knew he was unhappy.

So, tonight's program was specially arranged, which helped to relieve Leonardo DiCaprio's frustration and annoyance.

After the party ended, Bal was tired, so she went home to sleep.

Liu Jin pulled Xiao Li Zi along, and the two of them sat on the edge of the pool, shirtless and soaking wet.

"How about I write a story for you and try to win an Oscar?"

"Need not!"

"what?"

"Could you give me your story 'The Hunt'?"

"You've taken a liking to that story?"

"Ok!"

"The Hunt" is not a story about America.

In the original timeline, this was a Danish film that won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2014.

did not expect……

But this is indeed a story that could win an award.

Liu Jin thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "Sure, if you want this story, you can have it."

"I want you to write the screenplay."

"I don't have time!"

"I don't care, you splashed me with water today, so you have to write this script for me."

"You're a fucking scoundrel! You said you wanted 'The Hunt,' and I agreed without a second thought. Now you want me to write the script?"

"You've mentored an actor who won a Best Actor award."

"Let me make this clear first: I don't have time this year or next year."

"It seems like you don't do anything else besides staying at home writing all day."

"There will be big changes on Wall Street next year, and I want to focus my energy there."

"You mean... the big short seller?"

"Ok!"

“I asked some experts, and they said your book is pure fantasy.”

"But last month, New World Financial filed for bankruptcy protection... Remember that large subprime mortgage company I wrote about in the book? I feel that New World Financial is in that situation. Next, Europe will definitely issue warnings... If this really happens, then my prediction was correct."

I have raised $1.3 billion and applied for 30 times leverage from the British bank.

The main problem is that my qualifications aren't sufficient to apply for a higher level of leverage. If my prediction is correct, next year…

"What's next year?"

Liu Jin chuckled and said softly, "I will become a billionaire next year."

"But everything you've said is just your prediction."

"Yeah, that takes a bit of guts... If I succeed, I'll be the next Buffett or Soros; if I fail, I can just go back to writing books. So, if I really wanted to help you write the script, it would take about 10 years." "I can wait, you bastard!"

As he spoke, Leonardo DiCaprio jumped into the pool with a splash.

He plunged into the water and didn't surface for a full minute.

"Add me one."

"what?"

“I’ll invest 200 million in you, and you have to take me with you to become a millionaire.”

"Aren't you afraid that I'll cheat you?"

"What's there to be afraid of? At worst, I'll go back to playing my leading man roles."

“Leon…”

"Ok?"

"You're fucking old, a man in your thirties, still calling yourself a young man."

"I'm less than sixty days older than you, you bastard!"

Liu Jin couldn't help but fall to the ground and roll around.

……

Leonardo also went back inside.

It's already 3 o'clock, I'm a little sleepy!
The group flew from America to Mexico City and had a lot of fun all night, so they were definitely a bit tired.

Even with Liu Jin's extraordinary physical abilities, he felt a little sleepy.

He sat alone by the pool, taking a bottle of Corona from the ice bucket.

Just as I was about to open the bottle cap, I suddenly heard footsteps.

The ground was covered in water, and walking on it made a squelching sound.

"Who?"

"I!"

Liu Jin then lowered his guard.

Don't blame him for being so vigilant; this is Mexico.

A place where even God would have to be careful...

Although Polanco is the center of Mexico City and an affluent area with good security.

But it's only a comparison.

This is why people don't go out after nightfall.

Inside the hotel, in addition to your own security personnel, there is also the hotel's security, making it a hundred times safer than outside.

Of course, if you're looking for thrills, that's another story.

Charlize Theron walked over.

As he passed by Liu Jin, he casually grabbed a bottle of beer from the ice bucket and opened the cap.

Doesn't it hurt?
She actually managed to unscrew the bottle cap with her bare hands.

Liu Jin used a screwdriver...

"You and Leon have a really good relationship."

"Hehe, we're brothers, brothers who have known each other for five years."

After Liu Jin finished speaking, he suddenly realized something.

"Were you eavesdropping just now?"

"It wasn't exactly eavesdropping. I just wanted to be alone for a while, but I found out that you two were still here chatting."

"What did you hear?"

"Hunting, and two wealthy men."

Charlize laughed and said, "How about we kill them to silence them?"

"Tch, so you know now, you can't hide it from anyone anymore."

Besides, it's all just my prediction; whether it will succeed is another matter.

"How about I join?"

"what?"

"I'm not as rich as you guys, at most twenty million."

Hollywood actresses' salaries aren't actually that high.

Among the so-called top ten actresses today, apart from Angelina Jolie and Julia Roberts who can earn over 20 million dollars per film, even the tenth-ranked actress only earns 1.5 million dollars.

As for Eva, she wasn't included, but her earnings were between one and two million.

For "Blood Diamond," her salary was only 1.2 million, and that was only because of Leonardo DiCaprio.

For her role in "Love in Las Vegas," she received a salary of 600,000 yuan, a 50% discount. However, it's still considered a high salary.

Sometimes Liu Jin thinks that it's easier to make money off Chinese actresses.

With that face, he just blurted out 80 million RMB; I don't know where he got the courage.

Anyway, the future of China's entertainment industry is truly a chaotic mess... You could say they care about their status, and they'll take on any terrible film; you could say they don't care about their status, and their salaries are terrifying. Of course, there are similar situations in the West, like the future Nicolas Cage. But he's doing it to pay off his debts! After paying off his debts, he'll start caring about his status again!

I just don't understand...

"If you've made up your mind, I'll give you an account later."

"it is good!"

Charlize sat on the edge of the pool and put her feet in the water.

She didn't speak; she remained silent!
Liu Jin didn't say anything, sitting on the deck chair, staring blankly at the pool.

Actually, he knew some things about Charlize, and he knew that although she seemed nice, she was also quite troubled.

In 2001, Charlize and Irish actor Stuart Townsend fell in love while working together on the film "Step by Step".

The two broke up at the end of last year.

Charlize has barely been in business for the past six months.

Charlize was somewhat lost after her planned collaboration with Will Smith on "Hancock," which was also canceled. This project was intended to be a turning point in Charlize's career, but now that it's gone, she's at a loss.

For Charlize, this trip to Mexico City was also a chance to relax.

only……

Some things must be faced eventually: relationships and career. So, what should we do?
