I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 172 Letter to Tucson

Zoe and Zheng Hui were very well behaved all day.

The desk was not light, and the fact that Liu Jin flipped it over flew out in one go, was enough to explain the problem.

These Chinese people are not easy to mess with!
I heard that last year, there was a girl in their class who stabbed someone with a knife.

Fortunately, that girl went to America to study this school year.

But this does not mean that the Chinese class is easy to bully!
After all, the most outstanding person in Huaguo’s class last school year was not that girl, but the man sitting in the classroom.

I heard that he has connections with the Toulouse gang!

……

If a tiger doesn't show its power, people will think it is a sick cat.

After Liu Jin got angry, the atmosphere in the international class suddenly became harmonious.

At this time, his visa was also approved!

Liu Jin immediately began to pack his luggage and prepare to leave.

The cats and dogs at home were left to Ottilie's care.

Ottilie agreed to this very readily.

According to Mela, she is an extreme cat and dog lover. She has three cats and two dogs at home and she never gets tired of them.

"I won't go with you this time."

"What if we want to negotiate?"

"Do you think I'm good at this?"

"Didn't you talk very well before?"

“That’s because someone is helping…”

"Who?"

"Dominic Besnehard."

"Who is that?"

"You do not know?"

"Should I know?"

At this moment, Liu Jin looked like a rookie.

Mela smiled and said, "Sophie Marceau's agent was the one who came forward to help me when I went to America last time.

He's in New York right now and has arranged everything for you."

"Sophie arranged it?"

Mela nodded and said, "You know, I'm not very familiar with America."

"That's good!"

Liu Jin didn't mind going to a strange place.

In fact, New York is not too unfamiliar to him.

He simply doesn't like dealing with people.

It’s okay to chat, but as for talking about serious matters... Liu Jin doesn’t think he can handle those professionals.

By the way, Sophie Marceau should still be in Los Angeles now!
Come to think of it, it has been several months since I last saw Sophie Marceau.

After returning home, Liu Jin called Sophie Marceau.

He knew Sophie's phone number in America, her private number.

"Aren't you supposed to finish your studies at the Paris Conservatory of Cinematheques? Why are you staying in Los Angeles?"

"I'm doing an internship."

"practice?"

"I asked Mel for help and got an internship on a film crew."

"what?"

"You told me such a great story before, I can't let it down... So, I have to learn how to be a good director."

"Which crew?"

"Director Spielberg's crew."

"what?"

“Minority Report.”

Liu Jin was stunned, but quickly reacted.

Minority Report?
"how do you feel?"

"very good!"

There was a hint of fatigue in Sophie's tone.

It seems that her days on the crew were not very easy.

"I became friends with Sofia Coppola, and she told me she had a project that she was going to write and direct, and she invited me to be part of the project."

"Sofia Coppola?"

"Yes, Director Coppola's daughter."

"Is she also on the crew?"

"Yes, like me, also an intern."

"Well, you are so lucky!" Liu Jin was not impressed by Sofia Coppola.

He knew her more because of the movie Lost in Translation. But the reason he watched Lost in Translation was because of Scarlett Johansson.

Apart from this, Liu Jin's only memory of her was that she seemed to have been in a relationship with Quentin.

Quentin's looks...

Coppola Bon Appetit!

This is the only evaluation of Liu Jin.

"I will arrive in New York the day after tomorrow."

“Dominic told me that he would pick you up when the time comes.

Don't worry, Dominic is one of us, he will help you solve all the problems."

Sophie said this and suddenly laughed.

"Also, congratulations, Amos."

"what?"

“Your new book is excellent.”

Sophie must be talking about "Pirates of the Caribbean".

It seems that this book has become famous in America.

“Stephen also read your book and was very interested.

You know, he's always been into this kind of work, and he even directed Captain Hook before, though it wasn't very successful. If you have time, you can come over and play. I'm sure you and he will have something in common."

There's a hammer!

Liu Jin began to murmur in his heart.

He pretends to be an ordinary person and has no psychological burden at all.

But it’s okay to show off in front of Spielberg, even if Spielberg started to go downhill after the millennium, he is still Spielberg!

To be honest, he was unsure.

“You guys filming in Los Angeles?”

"Yes!"

Sophie laughed and said, "In order to shoot this movie, Director Stephen redecorated the entire Hawthorne Square. It was very interesting."

"After I meet David Lynch, if I have time, I'll come see you."

"You must come, I'll be waiting for you."

After chatting with Sophie Marceau for a while, Liu Jin hung up the phone.

He turned on his computer and checked his email.

Huh?
Mela just sent me an email.

This is Mr. Zhang’s contact information!
Liu Jin looked at the email address and hesitated.

He didn't know whether he should contact her!
But I guess this is the time when she needs encouragement the most.

After hesitating for a long time, Liu Jin made up his mind, wrote an email and sent it out.

Will she see it?

Will you reply after seeing it?

Liu Jin didn't know either.

He sent this email just to tell her: her compatriots have always supported her!
This period was actually the most helpless time for Mr. Zhang.

The frenzied counterattack by Japan's right-wing elements has put her under immense pressure...

In 1998, the book "The Rape of Nanking" had the opportunity to be published in Japan. However, due to threats and suppression from right-wing elements, the publisher's president was forced to cancel the publication plan even though the translation had already been completed.

This was a huge blow to Mr. Zhang.

When "The Rape of Nanking" was first published, it caused a sensation in the North American book market.

Mr. Zhang even accepted an interview with Zipperton because of this book.

But after that, there was no after...

The popularity of "The Rape of Nanking" seemed to have suddenly disappeared.

All media outlets are no longer able to track it, and all comments have disappeared.

Instead, there has been Japanese denial, smear campaign, and endless threats and suppression of Mr. Zhang.

But even under such circumstances, she still keeps running around and promoting...

I admire her very much!
Such a thin woman took on such a heavy responsibility.

This year is the end of 2001...Her third work, "A History of Chinese Americans," has not yet appeared, which means that she is safe for the time being.

……

Liu Jin waited for two days.

But I didn't get a reply from Mr. Zhang.

However, he received a call that surprised him.

The person who called was a little unexpected to him.

Farne, the reporter from Liberation.

The reporter who once ran away to the port of Lille because of a bet with Liu Jin.

And his purpose of coming also aroused Liu Jin's interest!
