I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 794 Two Sets of Twins

The fireplace-side music party has quietly started online.

It wouldn't be accurate to say it happened quietly, because before this, Leslie had already uploaded ten episodes under this name.

The reaction was significant, especially within the Chinese community.

After all, in the 1980s and 90s, Hong Kong Island was once known as the Hollywood of the East, and many excellent works and stars emerged.

Leslie was a superstar in his own right.

It has an extraordinary influence in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

After winning both the Cannes Film Festival Best Actor award and the Academy Award for Best Actor, his status rose rapidly, and he has a huge influence in the global Chinese community.

Therefore, when "Music by the Fireplace: Hong Kong Island Edition" was released, it attracted the attention of countless Chinese people.

Liu Jin wasn't particularly familiar with the situation on YouTube.

Judging from the backend performance, the highest number of subscriptions for a single episode was around 400,000, failing to break through 500,000.

Liu Jin thought it was too low!

But in fact, this number is not low.

After all, not everyone could own a computer in 2009.

It's not as convenient to carry as a mobile phone, and it's also more expensive.

It's worth noting that there were 17 billion internet users worldwide in 2009.

Of these, North America has approximately 2.6 million, Europe only 1.7 million… The region with the largest number of internet users globally is Asia, with about 7.3 million. Three-fifths of these are from mainland China. However, mainland China has a Great Firewall, and only a minority can bypass it.

Therefore, based on this data analysis, over 400,000 clicks is not a low number.

After all, people in Europe and America are not familiar with Hong Kong's entertainment industry. The audience is mainly Chinese, with very few in Europe and America.

However, with the appearance of Liu Jin, this data changed dramatically.

"Amos, 700,000 views, 700,000 views in one day."

On the phone, Leslie was extremely excited.

The first volume of "By the Fireplace: Michael Jackson Album" is an album featuring Britney Spears and Lima.

Despite Britney Spears' tarnished reputation in recent years, her influence remains considerable.

In addition, it carries the name of Michael Jackson, which already attracts a huge amount of attention.

The simultaneous push on YouTube and Dailymotion platforms instantly attracted the attention of netizens in Europe and America.

Amos, an IP that boasts hundreds of millions of readers in Europe and America, plus Michael Jackson, who also has hundreds of millions of fans... plus a former pop star and Victoria's Secret's top supermodel...

This audience encompasses book lovers, movie fans, music fans, fashion enthusiasts, and countless LSPs.

The effect was naturally amazing.

Liu Jin also sang on the show.

Many of Liu Jin's fans know that in addition to being a writer, screenwriter, actor, producer, and distributor, he is also an excellent songwriter.

His works cover languages ​​such as French, English, and Spanish, which means that hundreds of millions of people have listened to his songs.

Alizee and Shakira have worked with him.

Last year, Liu Jin had already showcased his singing talent while in a detention center in the 5th arrondissement of Paris.

Over the past year, many people have been hoping that Liu Jin would release an album, but unfortunately, he seems to have no interest in it.

There is absolutely no inclination for her to develop in the music industry.

And now...

Oh my god, Dr. Amos finally started singing, and it's with that bitch Britney Spears!

Have you noticed that when the Doctor and his friends sing, there's absolutely no auto-tuning...? Last year when he performed at Alizee's Warsaw concert, I thought it was auto-tuned. Hoho, his singing is spot on, he could release an album!
You're overthinking it. I don't think the PhD will pursue a career in music; that's too low-class!
……

It's not that I look down on celebrities.

Everyone knows that celebrities earn a lot of money and enjoy immense fame and fortune.

But Liu Jin is a writer, and his social status dictates that he can at most dabble in this field, but he will never enter it.

Amos, damn it, you have time to sing? What about the song you promised me?
Shakira

·Six pounds, I want to participate in this program too, it looks really interesting. --Alizee

Spears has made great progress over the past three years. --Joe Bennett
This is a name that is unfamiliar to the general public.

But in Europe and America, especially North America, he is indeed a legendary figure in the music industry.

A professor at Berklee College of Music, a popular music scholar and songwriter, he has long been engaged in music industry research and has written more than 30 books on music education.

He was Britney's teacher.

After Britney Spears released her first album, *Baby One More Time*, she invited Professor Bennett to be her teacher. Unfortunately, Britney was riding high at the time and had no interest in honing her singing skills, so they gradually lost contact.

Britney talked about this at a fireplace party.

Bennett's appearance attracted many people from the music industry.

Many people immediately started discussing Liu Jin's singing skills in the comments section below the video, and they were quite impressed.

So on October 17th, NBC's late-night weekend show invited Leonardo DiCaprio as a guest. Jimmy Fallon, who had perfectly broadcast the Salerno shooting during his late-night interview earlier this year, was a guest on the show.

This year, Leonardo DiCaprio seems to have no desires or ambitions.

Last year, he received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for his role in "Blood Diamond" with Eva Longoria, but was then snubbed.

He only filmed two movies this year: Inception and Shutter Island.

He came to Tonight Show purely for fun.

During the show, Jimmy Fallon inevitably mentioned "The Night by the Fireplace".

"This video is currently very popular online. In less than a week since it was uploaded, it has been viewed by more than three million people and the response has been very positive."

Leonardo DiCaprio snorted, "But he didn't invite me."

"why?"

He thought I sang terribly.

Jimmy Fallon slammed his fist on the table and laughed, then said, "I feel Dr. Amos is qualified to make such a comment, after all, the professors at Berklee College of Music all think his singing is outstanding."

"When you have a hundred billion dollars, you can also be a great singer."

"Haha, Leon, you'd better never show your face at Berklee College of Music again."

Leonardo DiCaprio, with a Godfather-like air, smoothed his hair and shouted at the camera, "Amos, I was just kidding. Next time you have a chance to make money, remember to call me... Actually, your singing is outstanding, really!"

Laughter echoed throughout the studio.

……

"Liu Jin, I really want to go on your show."

In the obstetrics and gynecology ward of the three major hospitals in Toulouse, Alizee lay on her hospital bed and said coquettishly.

Liu Jin was peeling an apple. He skillfully rotated the apple, cut off a piece, and handed it to Eva on another hospital bed.

Eva opened her mouth and took a bite with relish.

"You can come anytime once you've recovered!"

"Amos, I want to act next year."

"Sure, anytime you're ready after you recover!"

Alizee and Eva exchanged a glance, then suddenly reached out and each grabbed one of Liu Jin's ears.

"Six Jin (Amos), are you even listening to us?"

"It hurts..."

Liu Jin came to his senses.

“I heard it, Ali is going to the concert by the fireplace.”

Eva, you want to make a comeback in movies.

"so what?"

"Anything is fine with me, I have no problem with that!"

"Then what were you thinking about just now?"

"I'm thinking……"

Liu Jin suddenly laughed and said, "I wasn't thinking about anything, my mind just went blank for a moment."

Alizee took his hand, looking at his slightly haggard face, and felt a pang of heartache.

She knew that Liu Jin was a little tired!
When he returned to Gryzan last weekend, Alizee and Eva both experienced adverse reactions, which frightened Liu Jin so much that he rushed them to the hospital that very night.

It's been over nine months already!
The doctor said that the baby would likely be born around this time, so the three families simply moved back to Toulouse from Gruysand.

Liu Jin has been with them the whole time; it must have been very tiring for him.

Alizee said softly, "Liu Jin, why don't you go back and get some sleep? Anyway, Mom and the others are here, and there are doctors and nurses too, so nothing will happen to us."

As they were talking, Joey walked in carrying two lunchboxes.

"Amos, go get some sleep. I'll call you if anything comes up."

Augustine will be here soon; we're not short-handed.

Liu Jin was genuinely a little sleepy.

After being persuaded by Alizee and Eva, he finally agreed.

However, he wasn't in a good condition to drive, so he called Margot and asked her to drive over.

This time, Liu Jin only brought Margot with him when he returned to Toulouse.

It will take him half a month to return to Toulouse.

Meanwhile, Salerno's villa was undergoing security upgrades, and the fireplace-side music party recording was suspended for half a month.

Meanwhile, the computer expert introduced by Margot also arrived in Salerno.

Her name was Verena, her surname was Kuschenko, and there was a long string of names in between that Liu Jin couldn't quite remember.

Verena was born in 82 and is of Er Mao ethnicity.

Later, I studied computer science at New York University.

This woman did something truly remarkable in America: she recruited nineteen Eastern European hackers to form a hacking group called the Scythe. She designed a Trojan program and, over four years, embezzled $167 million from British and American bank accounts. But ultimately, she was apprehended by the FBI.

Margot said that Verena was betrayed by someone inside the Scythe.

However, because she acted very cautiously and planned ahead, spending three million dollars in advance to hire David Boyce, one of New York's best lawyers, as her personal lawyer, the FBI was unable to find sufficient evidence after her arrest. Ultimately, under David Boyce's defense, America was deported on charges of 'passport misuse'.

Liu Jin remembered this incident.

The lawsuit lasted two years, and in 06, Verena was expelled.

Yes, Tulsi Gabbard was working for the FBI that year and mentioned it to her.

However, Liu Jin and Tulsi lost contact last year.

In their last communication, Tulsi said she was going back to Iraq... supposedly to work in medical management, but Liu Jin knew what the real situation was.

But he didn't ask any questions and didn't call Tursi's cell phone again.

Anyway, the number is invalid.

However, he would send an email to Tulsi's private email address every now and then. Tulsi said that no one knew that email address.

But Liu Jin didn't believe it...

It seems we've gone off-topic!
After returning to Ermao, Verena's situation was not good, so she came to Europe.

However, America's ban on accessing computers and related electronic devices caused her considerable trouble.

"Didn't she embezzle over 100 million dollars?"

After listening to Margot's explanation, Liu Jin didn't pay attention to the ban, but instead asked about the money.

Margot smiled wryly. "She's a great hacker, but not a smart person."

She helped others embezzle that money, while she herself only took a little over ten million.

But after two years of litigation...you should know David Boyce, that guy, he drained her of all her money..."

Well, you know what, it seems to be true.

That guy David Boyce...

He is exceptionally capable, but extremely greedy.

As for Verena, she's actually doing alright!
In Liu Jin's memory, it seemed to be within the last two years, a female hacker from Ermao, I think her name was Christina or something, but her name was too long to remember, conspired with a group of people to steal over 200 million US dollars through hacking, but she only received a $35,000 commission. She was eventually arrested by the FBI and sentenced to forty years in prison.

Hmm, it seems he also earned the title of 'world's sexiest computer hacker'.

I feel like she's just looking for excitement and a sense of self-worth; she doesn't really care about money.

Although she was sentenced to forty years, there's a possibility she could be recruited... In comparison, Verena's ability to escape unscathed is quite clever.

At least, she knew that spending money could avert disaster.

After all, Boyce was indeed greedy, but if he received enough benefits, he would do his best.

However, Liu Jin didn't like this person very much.

He would never have chosen to cooperate with this person if he had no other choice.

His current collaborators, Mary Jo White and Sandra O'Connor, are both prominent figures in the American legal community, wielding considerable influence. Liu Jin felt that if they couldn't solve the problem, Boyce would likely struggle to do so as well.

In short, Verena is in a pretty bad situation now.

According to Margot, this girl almost went to work as a prostitute!
With Liu Jin under his wing, at least in terms of computer security, there was no need to worry anymore.

As for the ban?

Liu Jin didn't really care too much.

He has already asked Sandra O'Connor to handle the matter, and it is said that there is no major problem and the New York District Court will soon lift the injunction.

……

When I got home, my parents were getting ready to go to the hospital.

Yes, Liu Dasheng is here again!

Anyway, he's retired, and he has two opportunities a year to visit relatives abroad, so why not take advantage of it?

Besides, his eldest grandson or granddaughter is about to be born, so it's only natural that he would come out once more.

Liu Dasheng has moved out of the retirement home and spends most of his time living with his mother in a courtyard house in Beiluoguxiang Hutong in Beijing.

Qianqian and Chen Qi moved to a boutique house on Hunan Road in Shanghai.

Now, in Zhongzhou, only my older sister remains.

According to my mom, my dad is planning to transfer my older sister from Zhongzhou to Shanghai.

Liu Jin felt that his chances of returning to Zhongzhou in the future might become increasingly fewer because of this...

My parents went to the hospital.

Liu Jin then returned to his room and fell asleep immediately.

While I was sound asleep, the phone suddenly rang.

He answered the phone in a daze and heard Alizee shouting, "Liu Jin, come back quickly."

Eva is about to give birth!

Liu Jin felt a chill run down his spine and immediately snapped back to reality.

"I'll be there right away!"

He jumped out of bed, didn't bother to wash up, put on his clothes and went downstairs.

Margot was watching TV in the living room on the second floor when she saw this. She quickly got up, grabbed her coat, and ran out with Liu Jin.

At this time, it was already late at night.

a little cold.

Margot drove her G-Wagon at breakneck speed to the University Hospital of Toulouse.

Dad, Mom, Alizee's mom and brother, Joey and Alizee were all waiting anxiously outside the operating room.

"I only slept for a little while, how could this be..."

"Six pounds, don't worry, the doctor just said the baby is in the right position and there won't be any problems."

Just then, Eva's heart-wrenching screams came from the operating room.

The nurse rushed out, "The pregnant woman is about to give birth, is Papa here?"

"I'm here!"

"Would you like to go in and keep me company?"

"certainly!"

Without saying a word, Liu Jin changed his clothes, disinfected himself, and went into the delivery room with the nurse.

……

The screams were intermittent.

Alizee was also terrified outside the delivery room.

Suddenly, her expression changed.

"Mama, I think I'm going into labor!"

"Doctor, nurse..."

Joey shouted loudly.

Soon, Alizee was also taken to the delivery room, and Liu Dasheng and his wife watched this scene with trepidation.

"Your son is in for a lot of trouble now!"

He was accompanying two pregnant women at the same time.

It's fortunate that Liu Jin spent enough money to hire two nursing teams, otherwise they might not have been able to manage.

The first sounds came from Eva's delivery room.

As the baby cried, Joey and Liu Dasheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, Alizee's screams rang out!
The midwife wheeled Eva out of the delivery room, and there were two babies wrapped in swaddling clothes on the bed.

Congratulations, mother and children are safe and sound. It's twins, a boy and a girl.

At this moment, Mela, Chloe, Old Zhong, Ottilie, and Lala also arrived.

Old Zhong quickly stepped forward to translate, while Liu Dasheng and his wife held their two babies with happy smiles on their faces.

"Where's Ali? Where's Xiao Jin?"

Old Zhong asked the midwife, and then told Liu Dasheng and his wife, "Ali has just started, and Xiao Jin is with her."

"There's no danger, right?"

Liu Jin wasn't here just now, and Liu Dasheng and his wife were like mute people.

Finally, someone they could talk to arrived. After listening to what Lao Zhong had to say, the two of them finally felt relieved.

Then, Eva was allowed to rest, and accompanied by the midwife, the hospital bed was pushed back to the ward with the two children.

"It's fortunate that this happened in France; if it were back home..."

The mother said, half-laughing and half-crying, "Your son is going to get yelled at to death by the nurses."

"Do you think French nurses don't yell?"

Old Zhong burst out laughing.

"Uncle and Aunt, don't worry, Lao Liu has long since learned his lesson and won't mind."

and……

This is France!

"As long as you have money, no problem is a problem..."

"The evil capitalist country!"

Liu Dasheng cursed, then blurted out, "Luckily, this bastard has some money."

Old Zhong couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Amos is in a terrible situation right now, a double blow. I feel like he'll have to live a life of abstinence for a while from now on."

"can you?"

Chloe asked curiously.

Old Zhong nodded and said, "It's a kind of spiritual shock."

"Then why didn't you live a life of celibacy back then?"

"I?"

Old Zhong looked at Ottilie and quickly said, "Because I love you. I'm not a romantic like Amos; I only have feelings for you."

"Hate!"

Ottilie blushed.

Mela and Chloe looked at them with helpless expressions.

Alizee's labor lasted a rather long time.

Around 6 a.m., she successfully gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, a boy and a girl, respectively.

"Where is Amos?"

When the midwife came out carrying the baby, Old Zhong quickly asked.

The midwife smiled and said, "Dr. Amos didn't make it. He fainted when Ms. Jacobi gave birth."

Old Zhong translated from the side.

Liu Dasheng quickly asked, "Is he alright?"

"It's nothing, I'm probably just too nervous and tired. I'll be fine after a nap."

Okay, let's take the pregnant woman and the baby to the ward to rest first. Don't worry, Ms. Jacobtai and the baby are both in very good condition!

"Ancestor bless!"

Liu Dasheng and his mother exchanged a glance and smiled simultaneously...
