I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 16 Dancing Alice
"Baby, you scared me!"

Soon, a Citroën C6 appeared outside the cafe.

As Alice got into the car, she was immediately embraced by a beautiful blonde woman.

"Baby, don't do this again. Even if you want to go out and relax, remember to turn on your phone. Otherwise, I don't know how to find you."

"I can't do it anymore!"

The car started and moved forward.

"Did Director Luca come up with any good ideas?"

"not yet!"

Marlene said, "If it doesn't work, let's put it aside for now and go back to the studio."

"That's not necessary. I just met someone."

"Who? Man? Woman?"

Marlene immediately tensed.

Little girls like Alijie, who have achieved success at the age of 16, are the favorites of many old men.

"Don't be nervous. He's a Chinese, a writer, collecting folk songs there."

"Chinese, that's fine."

“Why are the Chinese okay?”

"Baby, this is Paris. The Chinese are very timid. They don't dare to act recklessly. They will only respect us."

"I don't think he has much respect."

Alice tried hard to recall, but she didn't feel that Liu Jin had ever respected her.

"He's quite entertaining, though."

"Oh... Oh la la, baby, you seem a little different... Damn, you're not in love with that Chinese guy, are you? I'm telling you, don't like Chinese people. They're old-fashioned, boring, and only care about work."

"No, how could I like him?"

A blush appeared on Alice's face.

But the lighting in the car was poor, so Marlene didn't notice.

"He is my fan and he can sing my songs."

Alice said: "He told me not to expect any clichéd plot. He said Lolita should be free, happy, and unrestrained... He knew I could dance, so he told me to just dance happily."

"Dance?"

Marlene looked puzzled.

"How do you jump?"

Alice suddenly laughed.

“He demonstrated it to me.

He can’t dance, but he dances really well.”

"Oh la la, baby, I really doubt now that you are in love."

"I don't!"

"But when you talked about him, your eyes lit up. And there was no way to hide the smile on your face.

Tell me, what is his name?"

"He is a writer who is preparing to write a story about Notre Dame de Paris. His pen name is Amos."

"Amos? Isn't he a little too arrogant?"

“But I think he can really write it.”

"Oh my baby, you really..."

Marlene felt as angry as if her own cabbage was about to be eaten by a pig.

She took a deep breath and said, "So, you want to shoot it as he said?"

"I don't know, but I just think it's interesting."

"So, do you know how to dance?"

"One stage, one microphone."

"Can you do it now?"

"what?"

"I mean, give it a try."

Marlene said, "If you're tired, we can do it tomorrow."

Liu Jin's clumsy yet interesting dance moves once again appeared in my mind.

"I'm not sleepy. I think I can do it!"

"Then let's try. But first, make it clear that if it doesn't work, don't be upset. We can think of another way, but you can't sneak out again."

"Ok!"

Marlene didn't believe that a Chinese person could have any good ideas.

But in order to make Alice obey, she decided to indulge her.

Take out the phone and dial a number.

"Luca, I have an idea."

"I remember there's a small ballroom in the hotel, right? There shouldn't be anyone there right now... Wait for me, I'll be there soon."

After saying that, she hung up the phone and glanced at Alice out of the corner of her eye.

I saw her, with her head leaning against the car window, staring out in a daze.

……

Luca is a bald uncle.

After receiving the call, he immediately found a hotel and booked a dance hall.

When Marlene brought Alice over, the stage lights were already on.

On the empty stage, there was only a shining microphone.

"I'm so crazy!"

He held his head and complained, "That's it? What kind of creativity is that? I don't understand why it's so good."

"Luka, shut up!"

Marlene wouldn't be polite with him.

I paid for it!

As a result, you are a useless man. Even if I give you the opportunity, you are useless.

See what creative ideas you have in mind?
She is only sixteen years old. Why is she wearing a bikini and going to Mallorca to take pictures on the beach?

You want to go to Mallorca?

She glared at Luca fiercely.

If you can do it, why should I listen to a little girl? "Alice, how do you feel?"

"Put on some more lights, as if, as if I were performing a performance like that."

"Luca!"

"Right away, right away!"

Director Luca immediately called his assistant and turned on the stage lights.

After debugging for a while, Alice walked onto the stage.

"Don't be nervous, honey. Just act like you normally would... We just want to see the results."

"Ok."

Luca had the speakers ready.

"Are you ready? OK, God Ike!"

The music starts.

It is "My Name is Lolita" which Alijie has sung countless times.

Moi je m'appelle Lolita
Lo ou bien Lola
Du pareil au meme
Moi je m'appelle Lolita……

You are Lolita. You are happy, free, and free of worries. You just want to sing and dance happily!

Liu Jin's low voice seemed to ring in his ears.

The image of Liu Jin dancing appeared in Alijie's mind, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a happy smile.

She twisted her slender waist like Liu Jin.

I have to admit that when she twists her body, she looks much better than Liu Jin.

The smile on her face began to grow brighter.

Lights, music, dance...

C'est pas ma faute a moi
Si j'entends tout autour de moi
Hello, helli, t'est A(LOLITA)
……

Alice twisted more and more smoothly.

The more you twist it, the more flexible it becomes.

Under the light, she really turned into a little elf.

Dancing and singing happily!

"Oh my god, this is the picture of my dreams."

Luca stuttered a little, put his fingers together, and spoke to Marlene in a trembling voice.

"That's it. Happy, free, unrestrained. Just what I imagined."

Marlene also smiled.

She could feel Alice's happiness at the moment.

"Luca, you are so shameless... Are all Italians so shameless? This is Alice's idea."

"I know, but this is really..."

Luca felt as if his luck had been taken away.

Me Lolita
LOLITA
C'est pas ma faute
Et quand je donne ma langue au chat
Je vois les autres
Tout prets a se jeter sur moi…

The music ended and Alice stopped dancing.

And there was a burst of applause from the audience.

Applause was also heard at the entrance of the ballroom.

The hotel waiter stood there with a smile on his face.

Marlene rushed onto the stage and hugged Alice, whose head was covered in sweat.

"Baby, you dance so well!"

"That's it, that's the taste... Damn, that Chinese guy is a genius. He actually came up with such a good MV that suits your song so well. Baby, now I believe he must be a funny person."

Alice smiled happily.

Marlene's praise made her feel like it was a compliment to her.

Amos, I’ll be waiting for your Notre Dame story!

……

Outside the Louvre, the lights of the glass pyramid make the stars look particularly beautiful.

Liu Jin stood in front of the pyramid and looked up at the starry sky.

A story suddenly popped up in my mind.

"The Da Vinci Code"!
Starring Tom Hanks, based on the novel by Dan Brown.

A mystery-filled, suspenseful work full of religious overtones.

Liu Jin has read the original novel and seen the movie.

It should be said that The Da Vinci Code is the most incredible, mysterious and best-looking of Dan Brown's works.

Angels and Demons, Origin, or the Dante Code...

It feels very average.

And Tom Hanks' performance made him feel the charm of a scholar.

In what year was it published?

Go back and look for it, and review it again.

Among them, the design of burying the body of the Virgin Mary under the pyramid is simply ingenious.

She looked up at the starry sky, at the meridian...

So, talent is really scary.

Anyway, he had always wanted to write a work like this in his previous life, but unfortunately he didn't have the talent.

Among online writers, I feel that only Lao Mao can do it!
That damn hipster...

Liu Jin stood in front of the pyramid and looked up at the night sky.

He stood in front of the pyramid, motionless, as if exploring the secrets of the interstellar space.

2003 years!
I remembered.

The Da Vinci Code was published in 2003.

Pity……

However, you can first buy a copy of Angels and Demons to satisfy your curiosity.

Although I can remember the content, I was reading the translated version at that time.

I really want to read the English version and see what it’s like… Well, I can buy a copy when I pass by the bookstore tomorrow.
