I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 161 Moving (25)

After looking at the house, Liu Jin completely became a hands-off boss.

At the same time, he moved out of his apartment and settled in a hotel near the school.

The hotel is very close to the school and is located on the main road, so it is very busy.

The cost is not high, one hundred and fifty francs a day.

There is a bathtub and a shower.

The room is about 30 square meters and is furnished with a large bed, a round table and a sofa.

Most importantly, hot water is available!
This is very important to Liu Jin.

It's very quiet, perfect for writing.

Liu Jin did not let this environment down and his writing speed improved a lot.

At the end of September, he successfully completed the manuscript of "Before Sunrise", totaling 180,000 words, written entirely in French.

So when Mela got the manuscript, she was a little confused!
"what is this?"

"The manuscript of the new book..."

"No, haven't you been taking refuge recently?"

"I'm taking refuge, and it doesn't affect my writing... Let me tell you, I'm in great shape lately!"

It can be seen that it has only been a short time and there are new works?

The story of "Before Sunrise" is very simple.

American youth Jesse met French student Celine on the train.

Jesse is going to Vienna to fly back to the United States.

Celine was preparing to return to Paris after visiting her grandmother.

When they arrived in Vienna, they had to stay there because they were short of money.

They strolled the streets, talked about their childhood, watched records, visited cemeteries, and hugged and kissed...

They talked about love, life, religion and their feelings about Vienna.

In the bar, Celine shared the pain of a broken heart.

Jesse discussed his trip to Europe.

Then, in a cafe, they pretended to call a friend and confide in each other.

They knew that after this separation, they might never see each other again.

But they still cherish this relationship, drink red wine secretly, and then go crazy...

At dawn, they parted at the train station and decided not to exchange contact information.

However, they agreed to meet again in six months...

……

Two days later, Mela, Chloe and Ottilie met Liu Jin outside a cafe in the Town Hall Square.

"Have you been to America?"

"without!"

"then you……"

"You don't really think that China is still closed to the outside world today, do you?"

Liu Jin couldn't help laughing.

"My generation grew up watching Hong Kong and Hollywood movies... Although I haven't been there, I can understand America through books, movies, and TV series. Although I don't know if my understanding is correct."

"Well, it's not off the mark."

Chloe looked at Liu Jin with a complicated look.

Mela, on the other hand, shook her head and smiled bitterly.

To be honest, after she and Chloe finished reading the novel, they were a little obsessed with it.

This is a work that uses X to drive the plot.

However, it was completely different from the romance novels they had read before.

There is no so-called routine, but rather an unrestrained conversation.

About parents, about music, about lost or dead loves, and even about death.

The hero and heroine even communicate by playing different roles, which is very interesting.

They are attracted to each other!

But this attraction is expressed in a slow and warm way.

In fact, the core of this novel is not a one-night stand or a sexual relationship, but their conversations with each other.

It is this kind of conversation that makes the book full of romantic mood from beginning to end.

Just as Liu Jin guessed.

The French love this kind of romance...

"So, six months later, they will meet again?"

Liu Jin thought about it and said with a smile: "That's another story."

"Wait a minute, why does this book title look familiar to me?"

"Yes, I mentioned this name a few months ago when we were signing books at Shakespeare and Company." "So that's when you came up with this story?"

"more or less!"

Mela looked at Liu Jin's indifferent expression and couldn't help but slap her forehead.

What kind of amazing author did I find?

While other famous writers used various excuses to delay their manuscripts and disappeared, Liu Jin was doing the opposite and almost urged the publishing house to publish.

"you……"

Meila rubbed her temples and then said, "Do you know how many manuscripts the publishing house owes you now?"

"what?"

"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo..."

"Well, isn't it a joint publication of Singla and Midnight?"

"Pirates of the Caribbean, there are three of them."

"You used foul language."

"Shut up, there's also The Old Man and the Sea!"

"But didn't you say last time that you were going to hand over The Old Man and the Sea to Midnight Publishing House?"

"But now you've got 'Before Sunrise' again... Wait, you just said there was another story?"

“I’m planning to write a trilogy.”

"Have you been hooked on writing trilogies lately? The Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, and now this one?
I'm not worried about anything else, I'm afraid... Amos, you have to learn to relax, learn to enjoy life, and don't let yourself be so tense. "

"I have no money, I have to work hard to make money."

"If you don't have money, you can borrow from me... Wait, you said you don't have money?"

"Yes!"

Liu Jin said seriously, "All I have left now is the one or two hundred thousand francs and half a million dollars in the Bank of China!"

"Don't give me that. The royalties you took from me before must have been several million dollars."

"I spent it?"

"it took?"

“Yeah, I bought stocks!”

Liu Jin said this very seriously, as if everything was natural.

"Did you buy stocks?"

"I'm in business school, so buying stocks is normal."

"you you you……"

Meera didn't know what to say.

Chloë and Ottilie looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Amos, you haven't been deceived."

"Definitely not. Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Don’t ask anymore, it touches on privacy!

As long as it's not about eating, drinking, gambling, whoring and smoking...

Especially gambling and smoking, once you get addicted, it is difficult to quit.

But if you think about it, it seems that Singla won’t have any key projects next year.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" is released first in English and Spanish.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Old Man and the Sea were promoted by Midnight Publishing.

Before Sunrise...

And it’s a trilogy!

The main reason is that the tone of this book is really to the taste of the French.

Whether the man liked it or not, Mela didn't know.

But as a woman... she felt that even an extremely rational woman like her couldn't let go of him, let alone an emotional woman!
This guy is so romantic!
Not sure about other countries, but in France, if this trilogy is released, it will definitely be a hit.

Well, selling a million copies shouldn’t be a problem.

The most important thing is, these are three books...

"Singla wants this series."

"It was originally given to you."

"No, aren't you writing Fatal ID?"

"I'm writing..."

"So, you're writing two stories at the same time?"

"Ok!"

Chloë's eyes met Ottilie's again.

They are already sure!
Amos, I'm really short of money...
