I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 154 Opera...

The predecessor of the Bastille Opera House was the old Vincennes station.

It is located between Rue de Lyon and Rue de Charenton.

In 1985, President Mitterrand ordered the demolition of the station and invited architect Carlos Ott to design a new large-scale opera house for the general public on the historic Place de la Bastille.

The building is not designed with the architectural concept of a historical memorial or a large palace.

The Place de la Bastille has a popular character in France.

The Bastille Opera House is also a venue for the general public to enjoy art and culture.

The opening day coincided with the 200th anniversary of France's National Day, which was even more profound.

The Bastille Opera House features a striking modern geometric cylindrical design with an exterior composed of metal and large transparent windows.

The entire hall can accommodate 2700 people.

Its multifunctional stage facilities can be regarded as a pioneer in opera houses.

The dark grey marble columns add a touch of solemnity in the night.

Liu Jin followed the crowd, entered the theater with his ticket, and quickly found a seat.

His ticket was given to him by Eva Green. It was an internal ticket and his seat was closer to the front, so he could see the show more clearly.

Being able to come up with this kind of ticket...

Eva Green's role in this stage play is quite important!
He took a deep breath and sat up straight.

Just then, a hand reached out from behind and patted him gently.

"Amos?"

Liu Jin was startled and turned his head to look. He said in surprise, "Ms. Ajani!"

"Ha, when you came over just now, I saw that your back looked a bit like you, but I didn't expect it to be you!"

"you……"

"I'm here with my friend, Lina Olin. Her son is an actor in today's stage play... But why are you here?"

Liu Jin's eyes swept towards Ajani.

A beautiful woman in her forties was sitting next to him.

"Chocolate, Lady Josephine!"

Liu Jin recognized the other person at a glance.

Lina Olin was stunned for a moment, and her originally sharp facial lines became much softer.

"Good evening, Mr. Amos."

Liu Jin really knew the other person.

An actor from Stockholm, Sweden.

Last year, she starred in "Chocolat," and for her superb acting, she won the Best Actor in a Comedy Film Award at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, a precursor to the Oscars. She's an actress with amazing acting skills...

Well, she was in attendance at the Oscars earlier this year.

And Chocolate is a movie he watched in his previous life.

I have almost forgotten the content of the movie. The only thing I remember clearly is the leading actor of the movie, Johnny Depp.

This is a European actress who has established herself in Hollywood.

"A friend of mine is an actor in this play."

"Who?"

"Eva Green..."

"Um, I remember now, this is an actor that Ms. Huppert is very optimistic about."

Olin interrupted and asked, "Good acting?"

"I can't say, but there's a guest appearance on the piano teacher this year."

After Ajani finished speaking, she looked at Liu Jin and said, "Amos, you are really going too far."

"What's wrong with me?"

"I had already started filming Amelie, but I couldn't contact you... Later I found out from Sophie that you had returned to China!"

"Is Amelie already on?"

"Yeah, you, the original author, don't care at all."

"Well...I'm a little busy."

"Are you writing about that David Lynch film?"

"Ha, no way... I haven't had time to start writing yet. But the story is very clear now, and I estimate it will be finished around October."

"That's great. I'm a little curious about what kind of story this is."

Ms. Olin suddenly said, "Have you collaborated with director David Lynch?"

"Well, at the Cannes Film Festival, I told him a story..."

Before this, Lina Olin didn't take Liu Jin seriously.

She knew Liu Jin and knew that his books were selling very well in France.

Adjani's new work is adapted from his novel.

But so what?

She is an Oscar nominee. Although Anjelica has a high status in France, she still has to rely on her.

The end of the world for European actresses is Hollywood!
No matter how many awards you win in Europe, in terms of influence, it still cannot be compared with Hollywood.

But Liu Jin and David Lynch have collaborated...

Olin had no choice but to take it seriously!

She was about to interrupt when the lights in the theater suddenly dimmed.

The noisy sounds around gradually faded away, and the performance was about to begin.

Even though Lina Olin really wanted to communicate with Liu Jin again, she had to shut up.

This is also etiquette!

……

Based on Liu Jin's experience in the film and television industry in his previous life, Eva Green's acting skills are very spiritual.

The script is also very solid.

It is said that this is a new traditional repertoire developed by Eva São Paulo's acting class.

The French National Theatre has already obtained permission.

Liu Jin sat in the theater and watched Eva Green's performance very carefully.

At the end of the show, the lights came on.

There was also warm applause in the theater.

Eva Green and all the actors took the stage to take their bows...

Her face was flushed and she looked very excited.

Glancing at the audience, she saw Liu Jin and a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.

Liu Jin stood in the audience and nodded at her with a smile.

If nothing unexpected happens, Eva will be nominated for the Molière Drama Award for this stage play, thus embarking on the road of acting.

To star in "The Dreamers"?
It seems like she will take on that movie after she graduates from college next year.

In my previous life, I was seen naked!
Although the European and American worlds are different from the East, stripping and exposing nude parts are common in European art films.

But Liu Jin doesn't like it.

You exposed yourself before your rebirth, and you still expose yourself after your rebirth?

Then I was reborn in vain!

In addition, his inexplicable aversion to Bertolucci further strengthened his confidence.

Such a good actor, don't let that birdman ruin it...

On the stage, Eva Green made a phone call gesture while no one was paying attention.

Liu Jin understood and nodded at her!
……

Liu Jin and Ajani made a gesture to each other to contact each other later, and then left with the crowd.

After Olin took her eyes off her son, she wanted to talk to Liu Jin, but found that he had disappeared.

"Amos..."

"He left first!"

"It's such a shame."

Lina showed a hint of disappointment.

She also wanted to find a chance to talk to Amos. After all, after Chocolate ended, although she won the Best Actor award, it didn't seem to help her career much.

Throughout 2001, she only took on one play, Hamilton.

Moreover, it's just a small role.

She did take on a TV drama, a double-faced female agent, and had a pretty important role.

But it’s just a TV series after all!
She hopes to have access to more film resources and more important roles.

At least in her opinion, her acting skills are no worse than Juliette Binoche (the leading actress in Chocolat), and she is even more beautiful.

pity……

It's so difficult for European actresses to gain a foothold in Hollywood!
Even Chocolat was only available because the director was Swedish and knew Olin.

Ajani, who was standing aside, raised the corner of her mouth with a hint of disdain.

Bitch!

She cursed in her heart.

……

At this time, Liu Jin had already walked out of the theater.

Standing outside the theater door, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the magnificent theater.

Stage plays, opera houses...

A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind.

He didn't catch it!
But he could feel it, it was important...
