I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 37 Surprise? Frightened?
"Liu, do you have a mature plan?"

“The idea is mature.”

"Write it down, okay?"

Liu Jin was stunned and looked at Meila in confusion.

Why does it feel like Mera cares so much about M6?

"Two reasons."

Meila was smart enough to see Liu Jin's confusion.

She smiled and said softly, "The first reason is that Gatiss is competing for the position of M6 director, and he needs some achievements."

They are indeed brother and sister!
"The second reason is that after your book comes out, I need to use some of M6's channels to promote it."

"what?"

"Liu, you don't think publishing a work is as simple as proofreading, printing, and marketing, do you? It requires promotion... especially since you're a newcomer and a Chinese. I must use more channels for promotion."

Meila let out a long breath.

“You don’t know, I met a lot of people when I came to Paris this time.

But when many people heard the author was a newcomer and a Chinese, they expressed pessimism and unwillingness to help. "The fact that you were able to find Le Monde for an interview was also due to your Chinese heritage. But Le Monde's influence isn't strong enough. If Le Figaro or Le Monde had been willing to interview you, I wouldn't have to worry so much..."

She paused, then continued, "That's why I came to Paris right after seeing the Top Chef proposal. I was hoping to use this proposal to get some resources from TF1 for promotion."

TF1 is French Television One.

It focuses on news, sports and entertainment, and is one of the most watched channels in France.

It can be seen that Mela is really putting her heart into making "Amelie".

She smiled and said, "If I can help Gatis become the director, I'll be able to get more resources from M6 in the future."

"Let me try."

Liu Jin nodded and said softly, "It just so happens that after I return, I'll have a lot of free time until December. I'll need to come up with a business plan as soon as possible."

"What are your plans for December?"

“Writing!”

Liu Jin looked at Meila with a confused expression, "You know that besides attending classes, I write."

"But you just finished..."

"I know, but I'm helpless even when inspiration strikes."

"You'll put those professional writers to shame!"

"What kind of sales are they doing? If I don't work harder, how can I rent a big house? How can I buy a nice car? How can I choose good clothes? Look, this Sandro outfit I'm wearing now is the best clothes I've ever bought after careful budgeting. If I had a lot of money, I could find the best tailor to make it for me... You can't live without money!"

Meera chuckled.

"If you say so, you are right."

……

At this time, many reporters had gathered in the press conference room.

The press conference has begun!

Alizee appeared on stage accompanied by her manager and music producer Laurent Boudonnat.

Mylene Farmer did not appear.

That's normal. Even though Alizee has been the champion for seven consecutive weeks and has become famous in France, she is still no match for Mylène Farmer in terms of status.

After all, Mylene Farmer had already broken into Hollywood.

Similar to Chinese stars, French stars also aim for Hollywood.

Even though France's Cannes Film Festival is known as one of the three major.

But in terms of popularity, people are more willing to recognize the Oscars.

Therefore, if Marlene Farmer appears on the stage, it will largely steal the popularity of Alice.

Under the flash lights, Alice was smiling.

Liu Jin stood in the corner, looking at her quietly, but his thoughts drifted away.

Alijie's album "Food" has been a hot seller.

With 400 million records sold worldwide, it can be said to be a huge success.

But after this album, she fell silent!

It wasn't until 2003 that she made another debut with "J'en Ai Marre", which amazed countless people.

The dance she is performing in the MV of "Moi... Lolita" is actually from the MV of "J'en Ai Marre".

Liu Jin just wanted to release this MV earlier.

With this MV, Liu Jin believes that Alijie's debut album will definitely surpass her previous success. But what about the future?

"That's probably the extent of her achievements."

Meila suddenly said from the side.

"Ok?"

Mela smiled and said softly, "Actually, I've already listened to her album. Gatiss said it should be able to sell 500 million copies. But Laurent Studio is too small and lacks resources. Even if her album becomes extremely popular, without the resources to follow up, it will be difficult for her to achieve anything, and it will be difficult for her to break into the French-speaking world."

"Break through the French section?"

"I mean, she might be able to gain fame in the French-speaking world, but she won't be able to go any further unless there are more resources to follow up."

It seems so!

After the success of "Food", Alijie did not release her second album until 2003.

That same year, she would marry…

Wait, get married?
Liu Jin frowned slightly, looking at the radiant Alice, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Alice's eyes swept over where Liu Jin was.

She smiled!
The smile is so bright.

This also made Liu Jin lose his mind for a moment.

But after all, the soul is a fifty-year-old man.

Liu Jin, who was used to the ups and downs of life, quickly came to his senses.

He smiled at Alice.

"Who can predict what will happen in the future?"

"Too!"

Meila thought for a moment and smiled, "Instead of worrying about future troubles, it's better to enjoy the beauty in front of you."

"exactly!"

……

At this point, the press conference has come to an end.

After Laurent and Alice finished answering the last questions from the reporters, they prepared to announce the end of the press conference.

But at this moment, Alice suddenly snatched the microphone from Laurent.

"Gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to a good friend of mine."

There was a sudden commotion in the press conference hall.

"Alizee, what are you doing?"

Laurent asked in a low voice, a little confused.

From this we can see that he may be a good music producer, but not a good agent.

Backstage, Mylene Farmer wanted to rush out.

But after thinking about it, she stopped again.

"There was a photograph in Le Parisien yesterday."

The press conference room suddenly became lively.

The reporters rushed forward like hungry wolves seeing meat.

Liu Jin's expression also changed slightly, and he felt a little at a loss.

He had never experienced such a scene before.

"He's indeed my friend, a very good friend. He's a talented creative person and a writer... You may have noticed my music video; that was his idea. I still remember it clearly. He told me, 'I'm only sixteen, I don't need to think too much, I just need to sing freely and happily, that's enough!'"

boom!
The reporters were thrilled.

"Excuse me, who is this writer?"

"Alizee, why would he help you? Are you in love?"

"Alizee, is he here?"

"Alizee..."

The situation was out of control for a while.

Is this what you call a surprise?

This is really scary!
Liu Jin stood in the corner and had calmed down.

He looked at Alice, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and shook his head...
