I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 169: Mallorca Holiday

Mallorca, also known as Mallorca, is an island located in the Mediterranean Sea.

The Mediterranean in spring is known as the place closest to heaven.

Mallorca is known as the Mediterranean Paradise.

The scenery here is beautiful and the climate is pleasant.

There are more than 300 days of sunny weather in a year.

The capital of Mallorca is called Palma, not the Italian Palma.

There are beaches, palm trees, blue sea, and ancient buildings here.

Of course, there is also a 'beautiful' love story.

Chopin, a Polish musician; George Sand, a famous French writer.

They met in Paris in 1837 and fell in love immediately.

Well, in love!

In order to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the two came to this island, which was little known at the time, at the doctor's advice.

It is sparsely populated, with no hotels or apartments.

They lived in the monastery on the island and spent a wonderful southern winter.

European biographers call this story "The Love of Mallorca", which is said to be full of romanticism.

……

We don’t understand either.

Even more incomprehensible.

Two men, what's so romantic about that?

But he is a reborn person after all, and the mess in the future will be even more unpredictable than this.

So, Liu Jin listened and put it out of his mind.

Just like Mela and Chloe, two big boys, but they were both lesbians, which Liu Jin couldn't understand. But it didn't stop them from becoming good friends.

And they are the kind of friends who trust each other.

Sometimes, Liu Jin wondered if he was Mela and Chloe’s best male friend.
Mallorca, which is about to enter winter, is very lively.

Here, there are guests traveling from all over the world.

Liu Jin is just one of them.

Mela was very thoughtful and rented a house near the beach on Mallorca.

Just outside the door is Cala De Deia pebble beach, which is also the most famous nude beach on Mallorca.

Mela, you really understand!
On the first day Liu moved in, he could see the white beach from the balcony.

At that time, he was stunned!
Is this a place for self-cultivation?
Come on!
So he gave up the lease the next day.

With the introduction of the locals, we moved to the port town of Cala Figuera.

This place is a bit remote.

But it avoids the pollution caused by a large number of tourists.

The nearby Cala Santanyi Beach has retained its original appearance, with the kind of Latin wild beauty unique to southern Europe.

Liu Jin lives in a two-story building not far from the beach in the bureau.

Two days later, Ottilie had the cat and dog sent to him.

Liu Jin did not refuse and accepted it with pleasure.

During the day, he would take his cat and dog for a walk in the town, and from time to time he would sit down, buy a cup of coffee, and chat happily with the locals.

His Spanish may not be as good as his French and English.

But it is also at a proficient level, and there are not too many problems whether it is writing or talking.

In the evenings, he would sit on the terrace.

Enjoying the sea breeze, I would take out the drawing board from my backpack and write and draw on it when I was bored.

Originally, the work he planned to create was "Kung Fu Panda".

But because of an agreement with Sophie Marceau, she started to conceive "Super Girl" after the robot WALL-E was completed.

During World War II, Max, an Allied counterintelligence agent, was ordered to come to Casablanca and cooperate with Louise, a French female agent who was ordered by the SOE organization, to steal a piece of intelligence at a banquet hosted by the German ambassador.

The casualness of Americans and the romance of the French have caused many misunderstandings and conflicts.

The two were hostile to each other at first, but later they gradually understood each other.

The mission was completed and Louise evacuated as planned, but Pete got into trouble and was captured by the Germans.

Later, Pete betrays Louise.

Louise narrowly escaped from the Germans, and after learning that she was betrayed by Pete, she decided to seek revenge on Pete.

She recruited several young women and formed an action team.

Jeanne was a prostitute who was sentenced to death for murder; Suki was a dancer who was engaged to an officer of the Blackshirts; Gabrielle was a devout Catholic Breton woman and also an outstanding chemist; Maria was Louise's best friend who had been lurking in the German hospital.

As for Pete, he was hospitalized due to injury.

Louise wants revenge on Pete!
But Pete was closely guarded by the Germans.

Five women joined forces to cause chaos in the German military hospital.

Finally, Louise met Pete and learned that he betrayed her in order to ensure the smooth delivery of the intelligence. At the same time, he had another mission, which was to wait for someone in the hospital to arrive...a geologist who had a map of the German army's deployment in Normandy.

Pete's mission is to get the map.

But due to Louise's impulsiveness, he was exposed!

In order to protect Louise, Pete decided to commit suicide and entrusted the task to Louise.

Filled with grief, Louise left the German hospital. The five women used their own methods and abilities to finally get the map.

When Louise and her group arrived in London, they found Peter standing outside the airport waiting for them with a big smile on his face...

It's a fusion of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Supergirl.

The original Superwoman Agent was based on real events.

Liu Jin watched the film because of Sophie Marceau, but he didn't know if it was the script or the director's problem, the film was very dull and uninteresting.

Five women with very different personalities could have had many highlights.

but……

Director Jean-Paul Salomy seems to be obsessed with conveying that sense of reality, but it makes the story boring.

The five women, even Sophie Marceau, are dull.

Liu Jin's version adds more comedy elements.

Pete is a cunning veteran spy. He fully understands Louise's abilities, so he has been plotting against her from the beginning to the end.

The ending ends with Louise knocking Pete down with an angry punch, and leaving with her four friends laughing.

It even includes a lot of plot twists from "Inglourious Basterds."

It's a hodgepodge, but it's been very carefully sorted out.

Liu Jin himself is a bit depressed.

So when drawing this story, he deliberately avoided those heavy contents to make the story more comedic.

In this quiet port town, no one disturbs you.

My thoughts went from being blocked at the beginning to becoming smoother and smoother.

In just one week, he completed a quarter of the content.

Just when he was about to make a final move, Carmen Balcells suddenly visited him and brought him some surprising news.

"Brüheimer has contacted us and is ready to formally discuss the adaptation of Pirates of the Caribbean."

So fast?

If you count the time, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been published in America for less than a month.

Did Brüheimer notice this story?
"I told you it was a fantastic story, very American."

Carmen Balcells smiled and said, "Amos, I was right about you... When can you start the Spanish-language work you promised me?"

“I’m still looking for material.”

"Not in a hurry!"

"By the way, do you want to know the current sales of this book?"

It was released on October 12th and now it is November 6th.

In other words, the novel has been published for twenty-four days...

"I've been recuperating here recently, not going online or answering the phone.

I go to bed at 10 o'clock every day and get up at 6 o'clock. My life is very regular. I don't know anything about the outside world... I specifically told Mela not to disturb me.

"Haha, no wonder."

Balcells said, "Last week, 'Pirates of the Caribbean' made the New York Times charts, number six, with sales of 83,000 copies. However, this is just the beginning. Random House is also preparing to increase its efforts."

"Forehead?"

Liu Jin's eyes flashed, and he whispered, "Because of Brüheimer?"

"It's not just because of him, but also because of your other work, 'Identity.'"

Liu Jin slapped his forehead and laughed, "I almost forgot! I haven't been online since I submitted the manuscript."

“I knew it… Director David Lynch couldn’t get in touch with you, so he found Mela.

Mela is currently in Paris arranging the launch of your first comic with the Dago Group, so she didn't have time to come over, so she found me...

Amos, young man, congratulations!"

Congratulations?

Liu Jin probably understood why Balcells congratulated him.

Pirates of the Caribbean is starting to gain momentum in America, and Identity shouldn't be a problem either.

The success of the two works also means that Liu Jin will have a very good start in the North American book market.

"so?"

He looked at Balcells.

Balcells laughed and said, "So, you have to go out. If you don't, there will be chaos!"
