Chapter 135 Breaking the Million Mark (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please recommend, please vote, please vote!!!)
The Cannes Film Festival continues.

As each film was screened, the atmosphere became more and more lively.

So much so that the news that Liu Jin and Sophie Marceau appeared together at the film festival did not cause the slightest ripple.

Except for a few people, most people would not associate Liu Jin and Sophie Marceau together.

And those who know the inside story will not reveal it.

So, Liu Jin's life remained the same.

……

Sophie Marceau quietly left Toulouse early on Wednesday morning.

She had previously made an appointment with the famous French female director Diana Chris to meet in Zurich.

Diana Chris is very famous in France.

He made his debut in 77 with the film "Peppermint Soda", which was nominated for the César Award and the National Board of Review's Best Foreign Language Film Award that year. He is a very capable director.

Even Sophie Marceau couldn't refuse her invitation.

Guessing that there was a discussion about the work, Liu Jin didn't take it seriously.

But after Sophie Marceau left, I couldn't help feeling a little empty.

Fortunately, his busy schoolwork soon filled his life.

French class is over!

But there are other courses.

In mid-June, Lao Qiao had an accounting exam, which made the atmosphere suddenly tense.

Liu Jin's life seemed to be back on track.

I attend classes during the day and write and draw in the rest of the time.

In her previous life, she watched "Pirates of the Caribbean" countless times.

All the plots are remembered in mind.

But this time, Liu Jin used English to write.

I was a little uncomfortable at first, after all, I write in French so much that it’s easy to make mistakes.

But as the internet celebrity Cao Cao said, whether it's French, English, Spanish, or Italian, the differences between these languages ​​are very small. They're just differences in grammar and phrases, and you can avoid them with just attention.

This is also one of the reasons why it is easy for foreigners to learn foreign languages.

Chinese is particularly difficult.

The key lies in the different ways of thinking.

To be honest, if it weren't for the golden finger brought by rebirth, Liu Jin would hardly be so skilled.

But, who made him a reborn person, a wall-hanger?
After the initial discomfort, Liu Jin quickly entered the creative state.

Life has also become much more regular.

As for the school, not much has changed from before.

The only thing that may have changed is the students' attitude towards the Chinese class.

It seems to have become more friendly!
Liu Jin did not put too much energy into this aspect. Apart from a few people in the international class, he was most familiar with Ma Xiu.

However, Matthew and Sun Yue seem to have a better relationship.

Dadong is still often missing.

Occasionally he would come to Liu Jin's house for a meal, but most of the time he would be muttering to himself.

It is said that he has been doing purchasing for others recently, and can earn 200 francs for a luxury bag. He is happy all day long and feels very comfortable.

Yang Dongqi still goes to school during the day and works at night.

And Liu Sisi has also become mysterious since returning to Toulouse from Barcelona, ​​and no one knows what she is busy with.

As for Selina and Misaka Mikoto and the others...

Everyone has their own life, and no one will disturb others unless it is necessary.

In short, everything is normal.

This also allows Liu Jin to devote more energy to creation.

On May 19, the 54th Cannes Film Festival closed.

The Piano Teacher triumphed overwhelmingly, taking home the Grand Jury Prize and the Best Actor and Actress awards.

The Italian film "The Son's Room", which had previously received the highest reputation in the publication, only won the Palme d'Or.

David Lynch won Best Director for "Mulholland Drive."

However, Wandao's "Millennium Mambo: The Name of the Rose" failed to win any prize.

It was not until this time that Liu Jin learned that in addition to the two works by Director Hou and Director Cai, there was also a Hong Kong film participating in the screening.

It is "Lan Yu" starring Hu Jun and Liu Ye.

However, it wasn't in the main competition section, but rather a special prize section. Director Guan did appear, but the two leading actors... Anyway, there was no report in the newspaper, so Liu Jinyiyi wasn't particularly clear.

Apart from this, there was no other news that Liu Jin cared about.

……

time flies.

Before we knew it, it was already June.

Lao Qiao's accounting exam is finally over.

Liu Jin walked out of the examination room!

The accounting exam, unlike the French exam, is a real exam.

Lao Qiao and Liu Jin have a good relationship, but he did not let Liu Jin off during the exam. Instead, he was stricter with Liu Jin.

"Why are you always staring at me?"

After coming out of the examination room, Liu Jin couldn't help complaining.

Old Qiao said seriously, "You are my most valued student, so I am stricter with you than with others."

"Thank you for your appreciation. You have to treat me to Delphine's coffee."

"Get away from me!" Old Joe couldn't help but yelled angrily, "I was the one who introduced you to Delphine, and now you're even more familiar with her than I am... And what have you been busy with lately? Are you writing those boring novels again?"

"What's boring? I'm serious."

After saying that, Liu Jin couldn't help laughing.

He knew that Old Joe looked down on "Angels" and was only so-so about "Father".

Lao Qiao hopes that Liu Jin will continue to create works like "The Old Man and the Sea".

But in Liu Jin's opinion, Hemingway's style was too cold and harsh, which made him feel uncomfortable when writing.

Every time he finished writing Hemingway's works, he would feel uncomfortable for a long time.

"Definitely in the future!"

Liu Jin could only get away with it this way.

"Amos, Amos!"

Just as Liu Jin was talking to Lao Qiao, Claire, a second-grader, ran over quickly.

She held a copy of Le Figaro in her hand and said excitedly, "It's over a million!"

"what?"

Liu Jin was stunned. "What do you mean by over a million?"

When Claire got closer, she saw that Joan was there too and immediately slowed down.

"What, can't you say it?"

"No, it's Amos's Amélie that has sold over a million copies!"

Liu Jin's body trembled, and an inexplicable emotion rose from the bottom of his heart.

“That’s a million?”

Old Joe was also surprised and said, "I remember it's only been six months since 'Amelie' came out."

"Yes, exactly six months ago. It was published on December 10th of last year."

Claire said, handing the newspaper to Joamp.

Then he said in an admiring tone: "Amos, you are so amazing!"

Yeah, that’s amazing!

Although Liu Jin already knew that "Angel" would definitely break the one million mark.

But when the sales volume really exceeded one million, he still felt it was a little unreal.

"Liu, congratulations!"

"Thank you!"

Liu Jin took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down.

He hugged Claire first, then took the newspaper from Joamp.

Mela had previously analyzed that Angels' million-sales breakthrough was a sure thing. However, she believed that the first work to break the million-sales mark in 2001 would most likely be The Pianist. After all, The Pianist has enormous power behind it.

But I didn't expect...

Liu Jin's eyes swept across the newspaper.

The smile on his face became brighter and brighter!
