I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 156 Terrorist Attack (25)

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

Liu Jin embarked on his journey back to Toulouse.

Eva was a little reluctant.

But she knew very well what she wanted to pursue.

Never give up on your studies!

When she was in the acting class, her teacher taught her that if she wanted to be a good actor, she must first be illiterate.

Only with a solid foundation can you distinguish the quality of a script and better understand the director's intentions.

She listened!
The little black fat man once said: What actors fight for in the end is their cultural literacy.

You may be able to gain temporary fame with your face, but it will only be temporary.

Liu Jin agreed with the little black fat man's point of view.

They will not interfere too much in Eva's choices.

"Then what are your plans next?"

"Reading, studying, completing my studies, and rehearsing a new play."

"A new play?"

“Although the acting class has ended, Ms. Huppert introduced a new play to me.

In Monsieur Ducale, I will play the role of the Baroness, a very interesting role.”

"Mr. Ducaret!"

Liu Jin said, "That's a traditional drama. It's not easy to perform well."

"Yeah, so I have to be very careful... By the way, if I encounter any problems, can I ask you for help?"

"I'm not very familiar with this script."

“But you’re a writer!”

"I... will try my best."

Liu Jin was lost under Eva's admiring gaze.

For some unknown reason, I agreed.

He knew this play, having seen it in his previous life.

He saw it at the Théâtre de la Cour in Lyon, but that was in March of the following year. He and Julie, a drama lover, were traveling to Lyon when they happened to see the play on tour.

"Mr. Ducaret" is not a novel, but a play with a three-hundred-year history.

The author is Lesage, created in 1709.

According to teacher Julie's explanation at the time, Maupassant's "Belle Amigo" was later influenced by "Mr. Ducaret".

Duroy in Le Belle Amigos is very similar to Ducale in Monsieur Ducale.

Duroy is, of course, more likable.

Dukale, on the other hand, is a bit disgusting.

This is a five-act play and is very influential in France.

baroness……

That's a very likable character.

Although she is not the heroine, she is very popular.

Want to act well...

"You better work hard!"

Eva Green nodded vigorously.

……

Liu went in to visit the class twice.

Once by himself, and once with Eva Green.

On the set, Audrey Tautou has already gotten into character.

Liu Jin felt that her performance was even better than what he had seen in movies in his previous life.

reason?

Liu Jin actually knew it clearly.

In his previous life, when the script of "Amelie" was first written, the screenwriter Guillaume based the character on the British actress Emily Watson.

When the script first came out, it had a lot of English lines.

After director Jean-Pierre Jeunet took over, Emily Watson was the first person contacted.

Everything was originally agreed upon, but Emily Watson's agent took on a movie called "Gosford Park" for her, which caused a schedule conflict and Emily had to withdraw.

Then, the crew was embarrassed.

The heroine of the heroine drama is gone...

Later, Genet chose Audrey Tautou.

However, due to time constraints, Guillaume had no time to adjust the script and could only temporarily convert the English lines into French lines, which created a huge contrast.

Now, the problems in the original script have been solved by Liu Jin.

This also makes Audrey's performance in the play smoother.

“She’s amazing!”

Eva exclaimed in admiration.

On acting...

Audrey's acting skills are not much different from Eva Green's.

But in terms of fame, she is probably not as famous as Eva Green. However, both of them are listed as the top ten most influential beautiful movie stars in France...

Genet is a mature director.

And he is a director who has made a name for himself in Hollywood.

At the beginning, Liu Jin was a little worried that Ajani would explore human nature.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Ajani’s level.

But...

People like Anjelica Adjani are inevitably influenced by the atmosphere where European art films are popular.

Moreover, she did show signs of going astray.

Fortunately, director Genet discovered it, stopped Adjani, and brought her back.

“Although Harvey advocates art films, don’t forget that he is an American.

The investment in our film came from Hollywood, from Miramax, and they wanted to make money! So the style of this film must be commercial... If you add too many human elements, it will be out of place."

Ajani accepted it with pleasure.

This also made Liu Jin feel relieved.

He can leave Paris with peace of mind and return to Toulouse which is finally his!
……

Monday, September 10th.

Liu Jin completed the registration.

Just as Teacher Julie said, the 00 Chinese class was cancelled.

He, Yang Dongqi, Sun Yue, handsome Ma Jun, Zhang Pei, Song Weijie and Selena entered the international class together.

"Where's Sisi?"

Liu Jin did not see Liu Sisi's name on the list.

Selina had a complicated expression.

She whispered, "Sisi passed the IELTS this year, applied for an offer from New York University, and was successful."

"what?"

“You were in the country at the time, and she couldn’t contact you.

She flew to the Lighthouse Country two weeks ago and should have enrolled in school."

Liu Jin was stunned.

This is something that never happened in my previous life.

"Why did you go to the Lighthouse Country for no reason?"

“You know she’s always wanted to go to the Lighthouse Country.

After a year of experience here, and with Qiao Anpu's recommendation...she went to New York to study because she didn't want to lose to you."

"I?"

"Yes!"

Selina patted Liu Jin's arm and turned away.

But Liu Jin couldn't turn around all of a sudden.

In other words, Liu Sisi went to the Lighthouse Country because of me?

It has nothing to do with me. Ever since I was reborn, I have been trying to avoid any entanglement with her.

This unjust debt...

Liu Jin was a little confused for a moment.

You know, although he and Liu Sisi finally reconciled in their previous life, they actually never had any contact again.

Until his rebirth, he didn't even know where Liu Sisi was.

In my memory, Liu Sisi graduated successfully in Toulouse...but now, she has gone to New York.

So, this life...

Large intestine wrapped in small intestine!
He sat alone in the corner of the lounge, staring blankly.

But at this moment, a series of exclamations suddenly came from the lounge.

He turned and looked over.

TF1 channel was broadcasting the news on the TV hanging on the wall in the lounge.

A plane crashed into a tall building.

Black smoke billowing!

The building collapsed.

This scene looks so familiar!

Liu Jin finally realized that he had forgotten something.

911!

This year is 2001.

Today is September 11th.

Terrorist attack, 911 terrorist attack!

Liu Jin couldn't help but swear.

[Oh my god, how could I have forgotten about this! ]
