I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 741 Dolphin Bay

In 04, Rick O'Barry received his first investment from Liu Jin and began assembling his team.

Since then, he has received a total of three million dollars in funding.

Then, with the help of Remy Ochilik, they recruited their first batch of men.

A group of people began a years-long struggle with small-time fishermen and whaling ships around Taiji.

Some people come to the team, and some people leave.

Since 2004, O'Barry's team has grown to more than two hundred people.

At its peak, it once chartered more than a dozen ships.

One of the ships was rammed and capsized by a vessel of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, and more than 20 people were taken away.

However, they eventually released those people...

Some people were terrified and left the team.

Some people, however, persevered and stayed with the team.

After that, O'Barry brought in American director Louis Pishchoux.

Later, through Lao Zhong's connections, Liu Jin rented a small underwater submarine from Russia for filming.

four years ago!
He initially thought these guys had run off with his money.

but……

Liu Jin thought for a moment, then hung up Mela's call and immediately dialed Melissa's number.

"I need Remy's phone number."

"Remy... Ha, you saw it too?"

Wait, don't tell me this has anything to do with you.

"Don't worry about it."

"No, I mean, I want their interview rights."

Melissa, with her quick wit, guessed the connection.

Liu Jin thought for a moment and said, "I will do my best."

He didn't have Remy's contact information; he had previously communicated with Remy through Melissa.

Melissa probably contacted Remy and probably mentioned the interview rights, but Remy did not give her a satisfactory answer.

And now, it seems she's found the right person.

After Liu Jin got Remy's phone number, he dialed it directly.

“Remy, I am Amos.”

"Hey, hello, Dr. Amos."

"I saw you on TV... Why didn't you contact me?"

Remy remained silent.

After a moment, he said softly, "There's been a problem within the team; Rick and Louis have a disagreement."

"Ok?"

"Rick means that the materials are handed over to you for you to handle."

Louis's idea was to edit the footage into a film, sell it to a buyer, and then split the profits equally after returning your money. Rick disagreed, believing Louis's approach was highly untrustworthy.

"Then why are you still going to protest?"

"Disagreements aside, everyone's idea is still to expose the atrocities committed by the small-time gangsters."

At that moment, Mia came in from the terrace, intending to speak.

Liu Jin waved his hand at her, signaling her to be quiet.

“Remy, tell Rick and Louis to give me the footage. I’ll find someone to edit it, and then I’ll find someone to distribute it.”

Global release!

I will not take a single penny of the profits; I will just recoup my costs.

As for how you divide it, that's your decision... but I have one condition: all the materials must be given to me, is that alright?

"I will tell Rick and Louis."

"I am currently in Italy. This is my Italian phone number; you can contact me using this number."

"Understood!"

"Oh, by the way, I just saw a one-eyed woman on TV..."

"You mean Mary Calvin?"

Sure enough it was him!

Remy said on the phone, "Mary is a war correspondent, a very famous war correspondent."

We met in Washington last year. She was very interested in our story, so she came with us to Taiji.

After that, she became very supportive of what we did and became our partner.

So, what are your plans for the future?

"I... will probably become Mary's partner. I'm also very interested in what she does."

So, you two will both die!
But Liu Jin didn't say this out loud.

Mary Calvin traveled to Holmes, the city of XLY, in 2012 to report on Assad.

They have a political mission!
Don't think she's so noble...

As a result, she died in Holmes during a shelling.

In 2024, her family sued Assad, who was in exile in Russia, claiming that Mary Calvin was killed by Assad's artillery fire.

Whose guns were fired?

I reckon even America doesn't know.

Remy was killed in that bombardment along with Mary Calvin.

If Liu Jin didn't know Remy, then that would be fine.

However… back when he was writing *Silenced*, Remy and Melissa infiltrated South Korea, risking their lives and even getting injured. Afterwards, he and Liu Jin developed a good relationship.

When O'Barry wanted to direct "The Cove," Liu Jin recommended Remy Martin.

Without hesitation, Remy followed O'Barry out to sea and sailed for four whole years.

This guy is a good person, a very simple guy.

If he goes with Mary Calvin, he'll be killed sooner or later.

But how can we stop him?

Liu Jin had to think of other solutions.

There are many worthwhile things to do in this world; you don't necessarily have to obsess over XLY.

Those who know the situation with XLY know the truth.

……

"Mia, is something the matter?"

After hanging up Remy's call, Liu Jin looked at Mia, who seemed hesitant to speak, and asked her in confusion.

Mia hesitated for a moment, then said, "Doctor, I would like to ask for leave."

"Ok?"

"My mother is sick, and I want to go and take care of her."

Besides, Christmas is just around the corner, and I want to stay there and spend it with her. But don't worry, I've already translated all the documents that needed translating. Also, Professor Barbara gave me some information today about the German army's presence in the Salerno area, and asked me to translate it by the 30th. I plan to take it back with me; it won't cause any delays.”

"Does the professor agree?"

“She has no objection... but you are my boss, so I need to get your consent first.”

"Hehe, I'm fine!"

Liu Jin couldn't help laughing.

"Go back now, and Merry Christmas in advance."

"Thank you, thank you so much... I'm leaving early tomorrow morning... Um, can I drive to Naples? I need to catch a flight back from Naples."

Liu Jin scratched his head.

"If you're sure your car won't get stolen if you park it in Naples, then drive there."

Liu Jin said with a smile, "My suggestion is, instead of driving to Naples, you should drive straight back to Catania..."

It seems to be about 600 kilometers from Naples to Catania.

If you take the highway, it will take you about six and a half hours... Including refueling and rest stops along the way, you can leave in the morning and arrive home in the evening.

That seems to make some sense.

From Salerno to Naples, 48 ​​kilometers.

The problem is that the security situation in Naples is not very good either.

As a landing point chosen by migrants, Naples has the second highest number of migrants landing there, after Sicily.

If I really have to park the car at the airport, and leave it there for several days...

By the time she gets back to Naples, she probably won't even have tires left.

Let's leave early, at six o'clock! Okay, leave at six, get on the highway, drive straight to Catania, and we should be home before dark.

You can also take the opportunity to show off and put your parents at ease.

"Thank you for the reminder, boss."

Liu Jin smiled, waved his hand, and turned to walk out of the villa.

Beautiful, truly beautiful!
He has the ability, and he truly does.

At least in terms of text translation, Miriam's level is not bad.

Professor Barbara praised her several times, saying her translations were just right.

Just ...

Sometimes, I feel silly!
Liu Jin walked down the steps and arrived at the beach.

He sat down on the steps and dialed Sofia's phone number.

Sofia Coppola is currently busy with post-production.

Because "Night at the Museum" involved many special effects shots, she commissioned Lucasfilm's Industrial Light & Magic and took the opportunity to learn from them.

I thought it would only take six months to get it done, but it's already the end of the year...

"Amos, don't rush me, don't rush me!"

"I didn't rush you!"

"So what brings you on the call?"

"I have a work..."

Over the phone, Liu Jin briefly explained the situation regarding "The Cove" to Sofia.

"They spent nearly five years filming a large amount of footage of whaling ships slaughtering dolphins and whales."

I need to find someone to edit it, and then…

“Amos, I am Francis Ford Coppola.”

A deep male voice came.

"I'm very interested in what you're talking about."

"what?"

"If you agree, I'm willing to edit it."

Meanwhile, Metropolitan Pictures will also assist with distribution. I wonder if I would be honored to have that opportunity?

Liu Jin was silent for a moment, then said, "If you are willing to take it on, it would be my honor, and I would be extremely grateful!"
