Chapter 119 Praise (Please subscribe, collect, recommend, and vote for the monthly ticket!!!)

May 1st was the day Liu Jin signed books.

Shortly after he left Paris, Jean-Francois Mattei, President of the French National Academy of Medicine, suddenly mentioned the book "The Father Trapped in Time" in an interview program about medical popular science on TF1 that evening.

He praised it as a great work.

"Father" uses literature to spread Alzheimer's disease to everyone, allowing people to understand more clearly the harmfulness of this disease.

The French National Academy of Medicine was founded in 1731.

It is the highest honorary institution in the French medical community and the official institution for French medical policy research and popularization of medical knowledge.

Following Francisco's high praise, today, May 2nd, the French medical community also officially came out and gave extremely high praise to "Father".

Among them is an article by Carpenter Sr., professor of neurosurgery at the Faculty of Medicine of the Sorbonne University in France and an expert in Alzheimer's disease research.

"The Father" may not bring about an academic breakthrough in the field of Alzheimer's disease, but its greatness lies in making more people aware of this disease. I have been studying Alzheimer's disease for 30 years, but most of the time, when people mention my field, they are always confused or associate it with Alzheimer's disease.

What I want to say is that Alzheimer's disease is more terrifying than senile dementia.

During these two weeks, when I talked about my profession with some people, many people suddenly realized and asked, "Is it the syndrome in 'The Father'? I know! It's really terrible. I will pay attention to it!"

Carpenter Sr. believes that the greatness of Liu Jin's "Father" is that it makes people aware of and begin to pay attention to this disease.

Because paying attention can prevent many tragedies from happening.

……

"Liu, you are truly a child of luck."

"What do you mean?"

"Did you know? Thanks to Dean Mattei's recommendation, the entire medical community has expressed support for you... Today, Le Figaro even used its front-page headline to talk about Alzheimer's disease and mentioned your book, The Father Trapped in Time, several times. I feel like I need to print a third edition immediately. The book's influence is growing."

In the future, there are only two words to describe it: breaking the circle!

Liu Jin's book has truly broken the circle.

The attention of the French National Academy of Medicine will promote collaboration among the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Education and multiple departments.

It is a promotion by the state machinery, not a commercial promotion!
“When Amélie was published, it was recommended by Minister Jacques Lang.

The release of "Father" is driven by the entire medical community... I just received a research report that estimates sales of "Father" in France to be between 1.5 million and 2 million copies, effectively securing the top spot this year.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

After a while, Liu Jin asked quietly, "How much money can I get?"

"Damn it, this is an honor, this is an honor, and you actually talk to me about money."

"I'm a Chinese, but I've promoted the development of your French medical community. Apart from money, I can't think of any other honors I can receive."

"Shit, you're going to get a medal!"

"what?"

"At least a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters."

"Is it awesome?"

"How can you use such vulgar language? You are a writer, a famous writer."

"But in Spain, I don't feel anything at all. Money makes me feel more honored..."

Mela suddenly felt that discussing this topic with Liu Jin was like talking to a cow.

She sighed and said, "I think your royalties for the next book can be increased to 20 percent."

"Childhood sweetheart?"

"What are you thinking? Twelve percent off on Sweethearts. At most, I'll increase the print run. I'm talking about the next one, not The Old Man and the Sea or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo..."

As Meira spoke, she suddenly felt a little insecure.

Only then did she realize that she had so many works piled up.

"I mean, your next book hasn't been written yet!"

"All right!"

Liu Jin's voice became weak again.

Meila didn't want to talk to this bastard anymore. All he cared about was money.

But when you think about it, it seems that Liu Jin can’t be blamed.

Liu Jin said from the beginning that he wrote books not for art, but for money!
God gave him an unparalleled talent for writing, but did not give him enough sense of honor, leaving him only concerned with money...

Meera ends the call.

Liu Jin suddenly stood up, put his hands on his hips, and laughed out loud.

"what happened to you?"

"Hahaha, I accidentally made an extra three million."

"Congratulations!"

Three million is a lot of money for ordinary people.

But for Alice, it doesn't seem out of reach.

She can earn almost that much from one album...

“It’s the dollar amount!”

Liu Jin forced himself to act like an X, causing Alijie to cough violently.

"Three million dollars?"

"It should be more than that, maybe more."

After being stunned for a moment, Alice smiled.

He is worthy of being the man I like. His ability to make money is really scary.

……

However, Liu Jin's excitement did not last long. He took the newspaper and called Sophie Marceau.

"Bonjour, Amos, good morning! You've become quite popular today. Almost every newspaper has mentioned your new book."

There is a hint of charm in Sophie Marceau's voice.

This also made Liu Jin react immediately.

He thought for a moment, then took a deep breath. He held up the newspaper and asked, "Sophie, I'd like to ask you for help with something."

"what's up?"

"You have connections in Hollywood, don't you?"

"of course."

"While watching the news today, a story suddenly popped up in my mind, and I want to write it down. But I heard that a Hollywood company might also be interested in making a movie with the same theme. I don't want Hollywood to give me trouble if the subject matter conflicts. So, I want you to help me find out if this is true."

"What subject matter?"

"Pirates, pirate themes."

Sophie Marceau was silent for a moment on the phone, then spoke softly, "As far as I know, there haven't been any particularly successful pirate-themed movies in Hollywood to date. For example, 1991's Captain Hook, even though it was directed by Steven Spielberg, who was at the peak of his career at the time, only grossed 1.5 million worldwide with a 1.08 million investment, which was a serious loss. Is there anyone in Hollywood who actually wants to make a pirate-themed movie?"

"Please help me find out."

"Well, Mr. Prophet, I don't know where you heard this, but I'll find out for you."

"Don't worry, I seem to remember saying that the screenwriter was Jay Wolpert and it should be a Disney project."

"Oh my God, is this really happening?"

Sophie Marceau didn't quite believe what Liu Jin said at first.

But when Liu Jin mentioned the name of the screenwriter and the production company, she realized that the news might be true.

"Don't worry, I'll ask for you first."

"it is good!"

In a previous life, there was a really great pirate movie, Pirates of the Caribbean.

A total of five films were made.

Liu Jin only watched three of them.

Johnny Depp's effeminate voice left a deep impression on him.

However, the first installment of this film was released in 2003.

So Liu Jin is not sure whether the script of this movie has appeared.

If it appears...

Liu Jin didn't think that even if he finished it ahead of time, he might not be able to get the upper hand from a behemoth like Disney.

"Liu Jin, where are we going to play today?"

"You'll be in charge in the morning, but in the afternoon, you have to accompany me to meet someone very important."

"Important? How important?"

"Maybe, I can make a few million more."

Alice agreed immediately.

She didn't even ask who Liu Jin was taking her to meet.

She is well aware of the shady dealings in the entertainment industry.

Marlene Farmer had taught him specifically.

But she believed in Liu Jin...

At nine o'clock in the morning, the two of them dressed up and came to the lobby.

Before Liu Jin left, he called Dadong and asked him if he wanted to go with him.

But Dadong rejected him!

"We are ready to go back."

"Back to where?"

"Toulouse!" Dadong said helplessly on the phone, "Sisi wants to go back and doesn't want to play anymore. Sister Paul feels guilty, so she plans to leave with Sisi. If they both leave, Yueyue and I will stay here..."

Hehe, why don’t we go together?

Actually, there are many fun things to do in Toulouse, and the most important thing is safety.”

"All right!"

Liu Jin did not dissuade him.

Anyone would lose their mood if they encountered something like what happened yesterday.

It's normal...

He told Alice the news.

Alice was indeed disappointed.

"I'd like to interact more with your friends and learn more about China."

After saying that, she sighed.

But after turning around, an expression of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face.

If it were a more animated version, there would definitely be a black little man above Alice's head, waving his fists excitedly.
