I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 780 Let's Sing!

Chapter 780 Let's Sing!
The matter of France 5 television was handed over to Méla to handle.

Therefore, it would be inappropriate for Mela to be involved in the acquisition of Dailymotion!

Are you treating people like mules?
So, in the end, the matter was left to Joannup.

However, Joan P. is already thinking about retirement. He can still use his energy without any problem, but finding a replacement has become a problem for Liu Jin to consider.

But who should we turn to?

Even after Joannup announced his retirement, he compiled a list through a headhunting firm.

But to be honest, I'm not satisfied with any of them.

Indians are hesitant to use it, fearing that one day GST will become an Indian company.

The Japanese cannot be trusted.

Europeans and Americans are not at ease with it.

Chinese people... this is probably a stereotype. Liu Jin's impression of Chinese investors is that they exploit the domestic market to the bone and grovel abroad.

Even the truly outstanding individuals are beyond his reach.

After thinking it over, it seems that only Zhou Shouzi left a deep impression.

Especially after America's classic hearing, where she debated with a group of scholars, Liu Jin developed a very good impression of her.

He seems to have been born in 1983, so he should be around 25 or 26 years old.

too young!

Is it capable of great use?
Liu Jin hesitated.

At that time, he seemed to still be studying at Harvard.

I wonder if you'd be interested in developing your career in Europe...

But I really can't think of a suitable person!

After thinking about it for several days, Liu Jin finally made up his mind: it was him!
GTS currently has enough capital to tolerate mistakes. Besides, they still have Steve Jobs; he can hold on for at least two more years, and it's not impossible for him to mentor Shou Zi Zhou.

Having made up his mind, Liu Jin stopped worrying about it.

He then called headhunting firms and asked them to try to contact Shouzi Chew.

He's still studying and should graduate next year...

Yes, there's still time!
……

"Boss, this is the literature I translated. If you take a look and there are no problems, I'll hand it over to the professor!"

A fragrant breeze wafts by.

The assistant handed Liu Jin a document.

It's been three days since Liu Jin returned to Salerno, and he's been so busy with various trivial matters that he hasn't even had time to write.

Everything was fine at home, and Jerome and Margot were handling security matters efficiently; the assistant was also doing a good job at school. However, she was about to take her graduation exams, and this year she would receive her Bachelor of Arts degree in Literature and Philosophy.

Liu Jin looked it over, picked out some mistakes, made some corrections, and then handed it to his assistant.

"Mia, are you ready for the exam?"

"Hehe, no problem!"

In the days following Liu Jingang's return from Brazil, his assistant was somewhat distant.

But now, it's much better.

She took the documents but didn't leave immediately.

"Anything else?"

"It seems that Mr. Leslie has been a bit quiet lately, as if he has something on his mind."

"what?"

Liu Jin was taken aback, then got up and walked to the window.

I saw Old Zhang leaning on his cane, standing behind the wall, staring blankly at the sea.

Liu Jin thought for a moment and said, "I understand. Don't worry about it. I'll talk to him later."

"it is good!"

The assistant wasn't familiar with Leslie, so there were many things she couldn't say.

Liu Jin could roughly guess what was going on, and he was getting a little bored.

Maggie has gone back to Paris.

A few days ago, he went to Toulouse for a week.

Leslie was alone in Salerno, feeling a bit aimless.

Want to go home?
But my legs are inconvenient.

He has a childlike nature and can't sit still.

If you let him stay in Salerno and look at the sea every day, he'll get tired of it after a while.

……

After dinner, the assistant drove off to find Bella.

Margot took Fanny and Leon for a walk on the beach, while Jerome took Augustine out the door to patrol the mountain road.

Actually, things have been calm lately.

That gunfight happened more than two months ago.

The Italians had long forgotten the sensation of the time and began discussing other things.

Meanwhile, in parliament, it seemed as if nothing had happened. The Italian Socialist Party won the seats they wanted, ousting a member of parliament they didn't like; Berlusconi's Forza Italia party gained the Socialist Party's support, and Mara and Meloni used the opportunity to solidify their positions in parliament. It seemed everyone benefited.

Only that MP, Ines, left the political arena in disgrace.

Liu Jin brought two bottles of beer to the terrace and handed one to Leslie.

"In such a good mood, let's have a beer!"

"Does drinking require a certain mood?"

Drink if you want!

Oh right, I forgot to congratulate you.

"what?"

Liu Jin was taken aback and looked at Leslie with a puzzled expression. "Congratulations on what?"

"Oscars, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Foreign Language Film... This is your second Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, isn't it?"

The previous one was "Life Is Beautiful".

Liu Jin stared blankly at Leslie.

"You do not know?"

"Have I had any free time during this period?" "Uh, yeah!"

Liu Jin has been quite busy lately.

But what exactly are they busy with?
Leslie Cheung wasn't very clear about it.

All I know is that he's been traveling around, from Toulouse to Milan.

After returning, I was constantly busy, with phone calls coming in all the time. I have no idea what I was busy with.

He always thought that Liu Jin hadn't mentioned this because he was probably looking for an opportunity to show off!

But now it seems he really forgot about it.

February 22, the 2st Academy Awards ceremony.

At that time... it seems Liu Jin went to Toulouse!
What's going on with this year's foreign language film awards?

"A German film, Bader and Meinhof; a French film, The Bélier Family; Little Days' The Departures; the Austrian film, The Vengeance; and the Hebrew film by Eisele, Dancing with Bash... But in the end, I prefer The Departures, it feels more in line with our Eastern aesthetics, Little Days is really impressive."

"Then I won't deny it!"

There are some truly amazing directors in "Little Life".

The Béliès family replaced French director Romain Conte's "Between the Walls" in the Oscar nominations.

Leslie said that the competition for the Best Foreign Language Film at this year's Oscars is quite fierce, mainly between "The Bélier Family" and "Departures".

"I heard that Xiao Rizi put in a lot of effort and spent more than 20 million on public relations."

"Then why did you still lose?"

Liu Jin was silent for a moment, then laughed, "No matter how you put it, the little things in life are ultimately derived from Chinese culture, with a bit of the philosophy of mono no aware, making it a hodgepodge. In the end, we didn't learn it well; if we had, it wouldn't be the little things we have now."

"You!"

Leslie couldn't help but laugh.

Subtly influenced by Liu Jin, he also lost his fondness for a simple life.

Liu Jin clinked bottles with him and asked, "Bored?"

"Ok!"

Leslie took a big gulp and said, "I kind of miss going back to Grossanne."

"Then go back. Your leg, although not fully recovered, shouldn't prevent you from flying, right?"

"Once the Anita returns, I'll have someone deliver it to you."

"But why go back?"

Leslie said, “Anita is gone, Maggie spends most of her time in Paris, and you’ve come all the way to Salerno…”

Going back, it's so cold and quiet; it makes me feel even worse.

"You're just bored!"

"probably."

Leslie slumped onto the recliner, looking utterly dejected.

"When I was busy before, I always thought about taking a vacation."

But now that I have days off every day, I feel a little anxious.

"You are lonely."

Liu Jin lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "Let's start a relationship. I think Sister Maggie would be a good match."

"Come on, that's my sister!"

"Even a younger sister can fall in love with another younger sister."

Leslie rolled her eyes, glanced at Liu Jin, and didn't continue the conversation.

A sea breeze was blowing, bringing a refreshing coolness.

Liu Jin's gaze fell on the piano in the music room next to the workshop.

He suddenly got up, went over, took a guitar from inside the house, walked to the terrace, and handed it to Leslie.

"Old Zhang, let's sing!"

"what?"

"You forgot, do you think you're some kind of superstar?"

After Anita Mui passed away, Lao Zhang rarely sang anymore.

The band Rebirth exists in name only.

His last performance was at Alizée's concert in 07, where he sang "See You Again" with Lau Chun. Since then, he hasn't sung again. When he returned to Hong Kong Island, some people suggested that he hold a concert, since many people were looking forward to his return to the stage.

But Leslie refused!
“I remember Anita really liked to sing.”

"so……"

"Shall we sing it for her?"

us……"

An idea suddenly flashed through Liu Jin's mind.

"If you don't want to perform on stage, then let's stay here, call up our old friends, your friends, my friends, and chat about music, the past, and some memorable moments, and sing some interesting songs."

We're not doing this to make money or sell albums. We just record it, do whatever we want, and then put it online as a gift for our fans.

We can also sing a cappella, sing whatever we want, as long as we're happy!

"Hmm, I've decided, it'll be called Leslie and His Friends..."

"You can pull it down!"

Leslie became somewhat interested.

But he immediately laughed and said, "How many people in Europe and America know Leslie?"

He thought for a moment, then sat up and said seriously, "Thé cuit au feu, how about this name?"

"Standing around a stove and brewing tea?"

Liu Jin shook his head and said, "Foreigners can't appreciate the meaning of this idiom."

"Then what name do you want?"

He thought for a moment and said, "How about Soirée musicaleà la cheminée?"

"A concert by the fireplace?"
