I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 200 New Inspiration for the New Year
The year 2001 passed quietly.

The FK war begins!

But for Liu Jin, it had no effect.

Starting in 2002, he set a small goal for himself: pay off his debts!
……

When you think about it, he owes quite a lot of debt.

He owes Abel a boxing novel; he owes Sophie Marceau a copy of The Time Traveler's Wife; he owes Melard two copies of Love in the City; he owes Balcells a Spanish novel... and then there's more, he's a show-off, he's a cool guy, and he owes Eva Green a copy of 50 First Dates. Counting the Crucible, there's also a Kung Fu Panda comic.

Alice is also urging him to finish his masterpiece, The Hunchback of Notre Dame...

After calculating this way, Liu Jin felt a little overwhelmed.

Pay off the debt, pay off the debt!
Finish these works quickly, otherwise they will pile up.

But he forgot one thing...

"The Old Man and the Sea" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" officially landed in Europe and France on New Year's Day 2002.

"Holiday, vacation!"

Liu Jin was complaining on the phone.

"So what?"

Meera retorted.

"Don't you French people say you're lazy?"

"Who said that? We are just enjoying life."

Meila refuted Liu Jin on the phone.

Thus, a quarrel began.

It's a joke, of course...

Meila just reminded Liu Jin to pay more attention to that work and asked about his new year's writing plan.

"a lot!"

Liu Jin, barefoot, stepped on the soft, snug-fitting blanket. He yawned and said, "I never thought I'd have to write so many books."

"You found it yourself."

"Yeah yeah!"

Liu Jin agreed, sat down in front of the computer and connected to the Internet.

He opened the browser and typed in Xici Hutong.

Jiuyulou and the like have never been updated, and many of the works in them are discontinued.

The Fantasy Sword Book Alliance has already started operating, and I've seen quite a few familiar names... Oh, and the QD Chinese website hasn't appeared yet, so I guess I'll have to wait a while. However, the works of Mou Jian and Mou Yi have already appeared online.

Chinese online literature is about to begin.

Liu Jin lit a cigarette and chatted with Mela.

These two days were also the two most relaxing days for him.

The kidneys have long recovered and are growing stronger with the nourishment of tiger bone wine.

Just the height...

It seems that since the second half of last year, Liu Jin's height has stopped growing and remained at 186.

Probably, this is the height!

I feel like if it were any longer, it would be a bit out of touch with the masses.

"I'll probably finish the furnace first this month."

"Take care of yourself. I've never seen you write like this."

That's because you are surprised by what you have seen. When some San and Hong brands come out, you will know what it means to type while standing on a beer crate.

It’s so damn fast and there are so many of them!

This is also the reason why Liu Jin is unwilling to return to online literature.

too tired!
It's very painful to work hard for an hour to write three to five thousand words, only to be killed off in seconds.

Not to mention, when those monsters appear in twenty years, even the three and the red will be defeated.

After chatting with Mela, Liu Jin came down from upstairs.

Lying on the sofa, it's another day when I don't feel like typing.

But today is New Year’s Day!

It's normal to take a day off.

By the way, I still have to send money to Abel, so I have to go to the bank first.

I've almost finished watching the rented videotapes in the TV cabinet, so I have to go to the video store to see if there are any new movies.

When Liu Jin thought about it, he felt that there were a lot of things to do.

So he climbed out of the sofa with difficulty, went upstairs reluctantly, and changed his clothes.

Just drive!

There must be a lot of traffic in Toulouse today.

So, let’s ride a motorcycle…

He added cat food and dog food to the three little ones, changed the water, and then rode his motorcycle out.

First I went to the bank and withdrew 50,000 francs.

In a few months, the franc will completely disappear from France's monetary history.

Oh, and I need to stock up on cigarettes.

So he took out another 20,000 francs and put them in his bag.

I really miss the future of electronic payment...

But if you think about it from another perspective, there seems to be a reason why electronic payment has not become popular outside of China.

After all, who can guarantee that your information data will not be opened by a thirteen-year-old girl one day?

Don’t want to…

He first called Abel, confirmed that he was at the boxing gym, and then rode his bike over.

He left behind 50,000 yuan in cash and politely declined Abel's invitation to drink.

I said I would quit drinking, so I must quit drinking! ...

"Full Metal Jacket?"

In the video store, the clerk looked confused.

"I've never heard of this movie... What's the subject matter?"

"A war film, about the Vietnam War, similar to The Deer Hunter, and it won an Oscar..."

Liu Jin suddenly shut his mouth halfway through his words.

A few days ago, he rented two old movies from a video store.

"The Deer Hunter" and "Apocalypse" are both films that reflect the Vietnam War and have won major awards.

He has a good memory and a movie called "Full Metal Jacket".

It’s the one about three rookies entering the military camp and growing up under the torture of the sergeant major.

One of the rookies, at the end of his training and about to go to the battlefield, put the muzzle of a gun in his mouth and committed suicide...

A very good movie.

The name is extremely similar to a writer at some point in the future.

Not really?

Liu Jin was very surprised.

But he quickly realized that he had disappeared due to the confusion of time and space again?
This movie can be regarded as one of Kubrick's masterpieces.

By the way, it seems to be adapted from a novel.

Gustav Hasford's "Short Service", yes, that's the name, you can check it out when you get back.

"Maybe I remembered it wrongly."

Liu Jin said to the clerk with a smile.

He is the VIP of this video store, so the staff naturally don't mind.

Interesting. So what other works have been messed up in this parallel universe?

It seems that most of the works that Liu Jin is familiar with exist in China.

Europe and the United States...

There are so many writers and films in Europe and America, how do I know which people and works are missing?

Forget it, I’ll talk about it when I remember it!

I rented a disc of "The Matrix" and a disc of "The Shawshank Redemption", and also found a few Hong Kong films, such as the Wong Fei-hung and Fong Sai-yuk series.

Liu Jin doesn't like someone very much.

But it must be admitted that someone's martial arts films are, to some extent, unsurpassed by anyone.

Few people can imitate his style.

Even though Wolf Warrior became very popular later, Liu Jin still felt that he could not surpass someone in martial arts films.

Finally, I chose another game of Chungking Express.

I took a tour of the 18+ area, and found that most of them were from Europe and America, but there were also quite a few people who were having an affair.

There are actually works that xx loves?

Liu Jin took it without hesitation...

It seems like she is about to die!

pity……

In a place like France, renting this kind of tape is normal and there is no need to hide it.

The clerk was also very considerate and helped Liu Jin pack it separately.

I went out with the videotape, thought about it and felt that there was nothing I had missed, so I rode my motorcycle straight back home.

When I passed by the pet store, I bought some cat food and dog food.

In fact, Julie and Adrian don’t like dog food. They prefer to eat with Liu Jin. Even if it is leftovers, they still enjoy it.

Eva is the same, her favorite foods are chicken liver and duck blood.

But this thing... is rare in Toulouse. When Lao Zhong makes braised food, he will make some specifically for Liu Jin.

Keeping a pet is very tiring!
However, Liu Jin enjoyed it.

After returning home, Liu Jin served the three little ones dinner and went upstairs.

I searched Kubrick on the computer and found out that he was… Stanley Kubrick, but he’s passed away.

Died in 1999.

He left behind a long list of works, including Liu Jin's familiar Glory Road, Spartacus, Lolita, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and his last directorial work, Eyes Wide Shut in 1996.

2001: A Space Odyssey was not filmed in 2001, but in 1968.

It is also Kubrick's masterpiece that established his status in the film industry!

Wait...

It seems like something is missing.

In addition to the disappearance of Full Metal Jacket, is there also one missing that has an orange strip?

This is a work by British writer Anthony Burgess, a work with great social influence.

Sending Orange Bars is his masterpiece!
Liu Jin thought about it and entered the name of Anthony Burgess.

Take a deep breath and hit enter!

no result!

Then, I searched for the name John Burgess Wilson, and there were many entries, including a mechanic, a software engineer, a soldier, a police chief... but the only one missing was the writer John Burgess Johnson.

John is Anthony.

Anthony Burgess is a pen name.

"What an interesting time and space!"

Liu Jin looked at the search results on the computer screen and couldn't help laughing.
