I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 145: Setting off again (Please subscribe, collect, recommend, and vote for the monthly ticket)
Jiang Wen was sitting close to Xiao Gangpao and kicked him under the table.

Which pot is not open to mention which pot!
You said I'm still feeling uncomfortable.

After being scolded by Liu Dasheng last time, Wang said he didn't even dare to fart.

He felt upset for a long time after returning home and wanted to save his face, but Ye Jing persuaded him.

"Liu Dasheng is two generations into the military. If we talk about military rank, your father would have saluted when he saw him back then."

Wang said that he was honest now!
But in my heart, I was holding my breath.

The little cannon seemed to be praising Wang, but to be honest...

He stood up. "I'll call Sandrine and ask about the situation. I'll tell you when I get back."

Jiang Wen's wife Sandrine is French.

The relationship between the two has actually been in trouble.

Sandrine now lives in Paris with her son.

Little Cannon is such a smart guy, he was careless just now and didn't pay attention.

At this moment, he also saw that Wang Shuo's face was not very good, and when Jiang Wen kicked him, he knew that something was wrong.

It seems that he is still a tough guy!

Jet Lee is now in the country, following the crew of the national drama "Hero".

Wang Zhonglei took on this job because he wanted to get closer to Jet Li in the hope of having opportunities for cooperation in the future.

After all, Jet Lee is in Hollywood.

With this golden body, he can kill most domestic filmmakers in seconds.

Worshiping foreign things and fawning on foreigners is not just the exclusive domain of ordinary people.

I originally thought that Liu Jin was an ordinary person who could handle things with ease.

Even though Wang is not as good as before, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. He still has a group of right-hand men supporting him in the domestic literary circle.

Thinking of asking Wang Shuo to come forward and deal with Liu Jin.

In Xiao Gangpao's opinion, he is just a writer. Once Wang opens his mouth, how dare he disagree?

Do you still want to stay in the cultural circle?
But now, it seems that is not the case...

About ten minutes later, Jiang Wen came back.

He had an incredible expression on his face.

"This man is really powerful!"

"what's the situation?"

Ye Jing knew that Wang was not in a good position to speak, so she asked first.

Jiang Wen sat down and said with a smile, "I asked Sandrine. This guy is very popular in France right now. His two books have sold over a million copies, making him the hottest writer in French literature this year. The book that Lao Feng mentioned is his second work, and it's expected to sell over two million copies in France... Lao Lu probably tried to take advantage of him, but failed."

"Two million?"

Little Cannon was also startled.

Wang said sarcastically, "Two million or so? My original work was no worse than his."

"But they earn in francs, in dollars.

How much does a book cost in France? How much did a book cost back then?

Sandrine said someone in France calculated his income and that this guy could probably make 10 million dollars from just two books!

The room suddenly became quiet.

Everyone in this room has seen the world.

Ten million dollars can't scare them.

But the two books...

"Why so many?"

Wang said his eyes were a little red.

I worked so hard to write so many books, but in the end they are not as good as two of others?

"Last time, Isabelle Adjani bought Amélie for $2.3 million... Sales have exceeded one million copies, and that's just in France. It's said that sales in the entire French-speaking world have reached hundreds of thousands as well.

And it doesn't include other languages... Sandrine said that his book Amélie was on the list in both Germany and Spain.

My father, trapped in time, the newspaper said the estimated selling price was at least three million."

"Dollar?"

Little Cannon interrupted.

"Hmm!"

Wang's heart of Taoism was instantly shattered.

He opened his mouth and said through gritted teeth for a long time: "The French have never had good food!"

Jiang Wen couldn't help laughing!
This is a broken defense...

To be honest, he also looked down on "Amelie".

Don't get me wrong, it's not published in China.

He just asked about it while chatting with Sandrine. It happened that Sandrine had actually read it and gave him a brief account of its contents.

After listening to it, Jiang Wen had only two words to say: Boring!

He loves a good story!

He doesn't like that kind of soft story.

But he also admired Liu Jin, an international student who relied on his French to write such a best-selling work in France.

This is not the kind of cultural output of the Pan-China cultural circle.

This is really stealing food from foreigners.

Just for this reason, Jiang Wen felt that Liu Jin NewBee...

"Old Feng, you'd better not get involved in this matter. This person has some background and is not easy to mess with.

Lao Lu is such a jerk! He's already booked a top-selling film, yet he's still trying to lower the price? Guess he's running out of options there, so he's using his wits back home. Go back and tell Zhong Lei not to help the foreigners bully our own people. He's a real family guy... well, that guy, that's just how he is. He says he won't bring shame to the Chinese, but what kind of roles is he taking over there?
This person is not genuine.

Anyway, I think he is not as successful as my eldest brother."

Back then, I was received by the old man.

He himself said in the interview that he did not bring shame to the elderly.

But a few years later, a wolfdog named Danny and a villain named Qin Shi Huang were cast, and there was no way to wash it off...

Little Cannon also reacted and nodded quickly.

Wang said with red eyes: "Just let it go like this?"

"if not?"

Ye Jing asked, "How about asking Liu Dasheng to come to Beijing to talk to you again?"

"No need for that, no need for that!"

When Wang heard this, he immediately became timid.

Jiang Wen smiled and said, "Think positively, it's nothing." Sandrine said that guy had scolded Gao Xingjian on TV before, leaving him speechless. And this guy really has some talent, like David Lynch, the American director...

Mulholland Drive, the best director at this year's Cannes Film Festival, and he also collaborated with me.

Besides, there is a rumor in France that he and Sophie Marceau are having an affair."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Gangpao, Ye Jing and Wang Shuo couldn't help themselves!
"Protruding(艹盘艹)"

……

Time flies by.

After completing "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" in early August, Liu Jin focused all his energy on the information of the Jewish refugee camps.

However, in his spare time, he completed "Identity" and passed it to Mera.

"Liu, the negotiations are complete and I have returned to Toulouse.

As you requested, the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, The Curse of the Black Pearl, will be released in October. This is the best Random House can do... I don't know why you are in such a hurry to publish it, but I'm sure you have your reasons.

You need to be mentally prepared.

Without any publicity and promotion, even though you achieved excellent results in France, it was not enough to impact the American book market.

The quality of the results needs to be tested by the market.

In terms of royalties, we have signed a tiered royalty agreement with Random House.

8% for copies up to 100,000; 10% for copies up to 300,000; 12% for copies up to 500,000; 15% for copies up to 1 million; and 20% for copies over 1 million. This royalty applies only to The Curse of the Black Pearl.

This trip to the United States was very fruitful.

I hope you can return to Toulouse soon so we can discuss this in person..."

Signed: Meila Manion.

After receiving this email, Liu Jin knew that his vacation was about to end...
