Chapter 213 Good News from the Other Side of the Ocean (Please Subscribe and Vote for the Monthly Ticket!!!)
Liu Jincai didn't bother to care what Lao Zhong had misunderstood.

Some things are better to be seen than spoken.

He didn't want to talk, and Liu Jin wouldn't ask.

It would be better for everyone if we just muddled through the matter.

He chatted with Lao Zhong about the Huanyang Pillar for a while and asked some questions.

I have learned it!

However, some problems still occurred during the practice in the past two days.

Lao Zhong said that this is a problem that will definitely arise when you first start practicing Huanyang Posture. Once you become familiar with it and practice it thoroughly, it will naturally disappear.

Of course, he still explained it in detail to Liu Jin and pointed out some problems.

……

The car stopped at the intersection of Saint-Jacques Street.

Lao Zhong and Ottilie got out of the car and left with their luggage.

This place is not too far from Lao Zhong's home.

Liu Jin drove to the door of his house.

Parked the car properly and let the three little ones out.

After sleeping all the way in the car, the three little ones were particularly energetic. Julie and Adrian, in particular, were running around the yard happily.

Eva ran for a while at first.

Perhaps he felt that running around was unstyled and not elegant enough, so he strolled back to the house.

Liu Jin put away cat food, dog food, and water, then carried his luggage upstairs.

This trip took seven days.

There is dust in the house and it needs to be cleaned.

But it's too late now, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

He is not sleepy either.

After all, I slept all the way.

I simply turned on the computer, read the news for a while, went for a stroll in Xici Hutong, then opened the document and continued typing.

That night, inspiration came like a flood.

In great shape...

I wrote until five o'clock, and finished 20,000 words. I finally closed the document with satisfaction.

He lay in bed and took a nap.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already daybreak.

Dear Mr. Amos Liu Jin, I am very pleased to tell you a piece of good news.

The Old Man and the Sea sold 2001 copies in the past week, setting a record for weekly sales on the New York Times bestseller list since the millennium, surpassing Harry Potter's weekly sales of 64 copies in North America in .

At the same time, with the hot sales of The Old Man and the Sea, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl set a new record, with sales of 2002 copies in the first week of , ranking second on the New York Times list.

You have set an unparalleled record.

On behalf of all of us at Random House, I congratulate you and wish you continued success in your literary endeavors.

Yours faithfully, Senquluo.

Early in the morning, Liu Jin received an email from Ms. Luo from Sen District.

The email was full of flattering words.

Liu Jin couldn't help but feel in a good mood...

This is just the beginning of the book recommendations.

This life's "The Old Man and the Sea" probably cannot replicate the record of the previous life.

But its sales will be amazing.

Liu Jin called Meila and told her the good news.

Mela, on the other hand, appeared calm. She said over the phone, "It's only the first week, so it doesn't mean anything yet. The book recommendations haven't fully matured yet, so we'll have to wait and see. But be prepared, you're going to be in for a storm."

The reading is rated so highly.

Once the North American sales figures are reported, it will definitely trigger a storm of public opinion.

When the time comes, good and bad things will come one after another.

Liu Jin's book, as well as several of his previous works, will be put under the microscope and criticized by countless people.

That was when the storm began!
"Liu, how is your psychological endurance?"

"What do you mean?"

"If you have a strong mental endurance, I would recommend you to participate in more interviews, talks and TV shows.

But if your psychological endurance is average, you don't have to do this.

I'll find a few journalists you're familiar with to do a few interviews for you... And from now on, just focus on your writing and attend class. I'll find a way to help you with external matters. Also, remember to send a copy of the manuscript of "Life is Beautiful" to Ms. Sylvie. Her attitude will be very important, at least in France."

Liu Jin was silent!
He thought about it and decided to keep a low profile.

His psychological endurance is neither high nor low.

When you really have to face the storm, he will also have a hard time.

In his previous life, the writer he admired most was Lin Hai Ting Tao, a man who would not tolerate being bullied and would vent any grievances in his heart, and who would never treat himself badly.

Liu Jin, you can’t be as free and easy as Birdman.

He will not be defeated by pressure, but sometimes he will compete with himself.

It’s no big deal to criticize others.

But if it affects my condition, it will not be worth it. So after thinking about it, Liu Jin said, "Let's find some reporters."

"Then I'll contact André Wamser of Humanité. He was responsible for the last interview with Humanité. Also, Farne of Libération. That guy stood on your side several times last year and said a lot of good things about you.

In addition, through my grandfather's connections, I contacted Mr. Bernard Brizay of Le Figaro, a veteran journalist with a moderate attitude toward China. He is also a professor of history and art history at Paris I, and he wrote "The Robbery of the Old Summer Palace," a documentary about your country in the early 20th century.

You can accept his interview and communicate with him, which will also be beneficial to you."

Liu Jin thought about it and felt a little pressured.

You know your own level.

Talk to professionals...

Yes, he has twenty years of internet experience, but it's not particularly outstanding.

But he knew better that if he wanted to gain a foothold here and establish a B-level image, communication with the academic community was essential.

If those people are dealt with properly, they will be a great help to him.

Liu Jin felt that he could make some contact.

After all, if he could fool Delphine, he might be able to fool a scholar.

"can!"

“Then I’ll try to contact them first…I’ll try to arrange interviews with Andre and Farne this month.

I suggest that we discuss Professor Bliss later. By the way, if you have time, you can learn more about him.”

"I see!"

"By the way, let me tell you one last piece of good news."

"What good news?"

"Influenced by The Old Man and the Sea, sales of The Father and Amélie have skyrocketed in French-speaking regions over the past week. In mainland France, The Father sold 11 copies, Amélie sold 3000 copies, and Sweethearts sold 8 copies...ranking 2700nd, 3th, and 5217th on the French bestseller list."

"With 11 copies, he's only in second place. Who's in first place?"

"Hehe, what do you think?"

Liu Jin's eyes rolled and he blurted out, "Pirates of the Caribbean?"

"Correct, 21 copies!
Mainly because "The Old Man and the Sea" has not yet been released in France, many people have transferred their enthusiasm to Pirates of the Caribbean.

The results in the Spanish- and German-speaking regions were also very good. I haven't got the specific numbers yet, but in the Spanish-speaking region, Pirates of the Caribbean ranked first, and Father in Time ranked second... In the German-speaking region, Father ranked first, and Pirates of the Caribbean ranked second."

Liu Jin couldn't help laughing!
Pirates of the Caribbean is not in the nature of the Germans.

After all, it was not a country with a pirate civilization.

But Spain...

When you think about it this way, it seems to make sense.

"Liu, you're going to make a lot of money this year!"

"How big is it?"

"Haha, I don't know... but I think it will be amazing."

"Let's make a lot of money together. Thank you for your prediction."

"..."

After hanging up the call with Mela, Liu Jin was in a particularly good mood.

He rode his beloved motorcycle and headed straight to school.

……

Then, after arriving at school, he heard even more pleasant good news.

Park Joong-won's father, Chairman Park of the Great Han Universe, was attacked after drinking wine on the third night of the first lunar month.

One leg was comminuted.

His translator, Mr. Wang, was beaten and remains unconscious.

All the belongings of the two were looted.

The saddest thing is that Chairman Park was also having sex with a homeless man who passed by late at night.

The homeless man was caught!

What a homeless person.

There was no news of the robbers and the police had no leads.

Chairman Park angrily accused the Toulouse police of incompetence, which angered the Toulouse police.

You don't stay at home in the middle of the night and wander around the streets.

Live it!

The police assured that the robber would be caught.

But everyone knew that the robbers might have fled Toulouse or even left the Occitanie region.

With the outbreak of the war, the refugee problem has begun to emerge.

Maybe, it's the refugees?

Where do you ask the Toulouse police to look for people?

The probable outcome of this matter is that it will be left unresolved.

However, Yao Qingqing from the Huaguo class took the initiative to come to Liu Jin and apologized to him.

This also made Liu Jin alert immediately!
When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong...

It seems that Lord Park is still a little unconvinced!
