I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 75: Aftermath (Please collect, recommend, and read again!!!)

The next day, Liu Jin woke up.

Deborah was gone.

Today is the Spring Festival and the school has given them a holiday.

But Deborah and her friends were not given a day off, as she had to go to class early in the morning.

On the dining table was breakfast prepared by Deborah.

It's simple, a cup of cereal with milk, a serving of scrambled eggs, fried bacon and heated toast.

Liu Jin sat down with his hands on his waist, turned on the TV, and savored the food slowly.

CCTV International Channel replayed yesterday's Spring Festival Gala.

There are crutches for sale!
Liu Jin happily watched TV while eating breakfast.

Selling Crutch... I watched it countless times in my previous life, and it's still very funny when I watch it again after my rebirth.

A comedy show is not funny, that is what is really funny!

I don't know when it started, but the Spring Festival Gala has become utterly boring. It's all sentimentality, all educational content... After a year of hard work, we finally have a chance to relax and have some fun. In the end, everyone just eats dumplings together.

Fvck Hawen!

The phone rang at this time.

It was Sun Yue who called and said he wanted to come see him.

"yourself?"

"And Brother Dongqi."

"Then come over and watch the Spring Festival Gala together."

"okay!"

Sun Yue hung up the phone with a laugh, and it was obvious that he was very happy.

Liu Jin finished his breakfast and tidied up.

He took some snacks out of the cupboard and placed them on the table.

But before he could start eating melon seeds, the phone rang again.

"Amos, sing 'Bad Day' for me."

"What?"

"It's the song you sang to Alice yesterday. Hurry up."

"Chloë, how do you know? Aren't you in Barcelona?"

"Hahaha, you made such a commotion yesterday that the morning news in Spain even gave you a special report."

what!
"Hurry up and sing for me. I met some bad people today too. I'm in a terrible mood."

"That bastard is so unlucky."

"Amos, can you say that again?"

After laughing with Chloe for a while, Liu Jin didn't sing in the end.

What a shame!

Just singing a song and appearing on TV?
Liu Jin picked up the remote control and started changing channels.

Finally, I found news about him on the iTELE channel.

Several guests are discussing this matter.

"The French music scene is becoming increasingly indifferent and selfish."

"Yes, of the beautiful French songs, only the chanson remains now..."

"When Alizee was attacked in the UK, none of our French music colleagues stood up to support her."

"Amy Lyon, you can't say there isn't one. Celine criticized Daniel on a Canadian TV show a few days ago."

"It's painless, what's the point? She's Canadian now, too."

"I don't understand what Celine is afraid of. Is that Daniel scary? They're not even as brave as a Chinese person. At least he's willing to stand up and admit that he's a fan of Alizee. He dared to shout into the camera: 'Fvck off Daniel.' Just for this reason, I like him. That's why I bought a copy of 'Amelie' on the way here today."

"A French story written by a Chinese?"

"Ha, what you said is very problematic. He writes about kindness, loneliness, and growth. It can be a Chinese story, a French story, or even an American story... Amy Lyon, kindness knows no borders."

On the show, a guest named Christian Oster strongly supported Liu Jin.

He was holding an unopened copy of "Amelie" and shouted, "Amos Liu Jin, please sign for me if you have a chance. By the way, I'm also a fan of Alizee, could you help me get her autographed poster?"

"This is your purpose."

The guests burst into laughter, dispelling the previous tense atmosphere.

"Christian, I remember your novel is going to be out next month, and you're promoting Amélie?"

Guest Amy Lyon couldn't help but chirp.

Just now, he was severely criticized by Christian.

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Liu Jin stood up and walked over to open the door, then quickly returned to the TV.

Christian Oster...

No wonder it sounds familiar.

Mela had mentioned him before.

If Amy Lyon hadn't said he was going to publish a book next month, Liu Jin wouldn't have even thought of it.

Judging from what he saw on TV, he wasn't young, probably in his early forties.

But I'm not sure.

Who can tell whether the characters on TV are real or fake?

"Hahaha, I've already received my royalties. Let Landong worry about the rest. It has nothing to do with me anymore."

The other guests burst into laughter.

Emilion's face turned black...

At this time, Yang Dongqi and Sun Yue came in. Liu Jin quickly changed the channel and turned to the Spring Festival Gala program.

Sun Yue sat down and stared at the TV.

Liu Jin sat on the sofa, eating melon seeds and chatting with Yang Dongqi.

"It's a pity that you didn't come to the party yesterday."

"What a pity!"

Liu Jin switched to Henan dialect.

Yang Dongqi then also changed to a Henan accent.

However, his accent is from Sanmenxia, ​​which is a bit like Luoyang.

"Yesterday's party was hosted by the Toulouse Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and many local celebrities came. They even asked about you, but Sisi said you went to see Alice off, so they gave up. Otherwise, they would definitely have dragged you over."

"Not interested in."

"What?"

"No reason, it's just... I don't want my life to be too complicated.

I came to Toulouse with three main goals."

"Brother Jin, what's your goal?"

"I'll go to school and get my diploma, write books to make money, pick up girls and enjoy life. I'm not in business, so I have no interest in that kind of thing. If a Chinese organization like that approaches me in the future, I'll help me turn it down if I can. If I have that kind of time, I'd rather write more books, make more money, and pick up more girls."

Yang Dongqi didn't understand why Liu Jin was so resistant to this kind of organizational activity.

But everyone has their own aspirations. If he doesn't like it, there's no need to force him.

And he also felt that the people in the Chamber of Commerce were too shrewd.

Smart, made him nervous all night...

"What are your plans for today?"

"Yeah, I watch some TV, then I write. Then I pick up Deborah at a certain time, eat, watch a movie, and come back to write some more."

"Brother Jin, Deborah's classmate, Martha... is the girl dancing at the bar that night. Can you introduce her to me?"

Sun Yue's words made Liu Jin and Yang Dongqi stop talking and look at him in unison.

"The one dancing at the bar?"

Liu Jin remembered.

He is Deborah's classmate and seems to be from South America.

Which country specifically?

Liu Jin doesn't remember it very clearly.

All he remembered was that Martha had a pair of big lei.

After a shudder, he smiled and said, "People speak Latin and English, you better practice your French first."

"Oh!"

Sun Yue lowered his head a little disappointedly.

"Yueyue, it's not that I don't want to introduce you, you're just too young."

"I'm not small at all."

"I'm saying you're young... Dongqi, how do you and Dadong usually teach him?"

Yang Dongqi quickly shook his head and said, "I didn't teach him that."

On the side, Sun Yue blushed.

……

The three fellow Henan natives rarely get together to chat since they came to Toulouse.

We chatted for a while today and had a great time.

After lunch, Yang Dongqi and Sun Yue left.

Liu Jinze walked into the study, turned on the computer, and began typing frantically.

The English version of "The Snows of Everest" has been completed.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is still written in French.

In the short term, France will be Liu Jin's base.

He has laid the foundation, which needs to be consolidated... then he will expand outward.

Take it step by step and don't rush.

The creation of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" was more difficult than "Amelie", "Little Big Women" and "The Father".

It mainly focuses on the character of Batistian Liu.

As for the original heroine Salander, she has now become Deborah.

To be honest, both Rooney Mara, who played the David Fincher version, and Noomi Rapace, who played the European version of Niles, are quite ugly and not as pretty as Deborah.

Therefore, after getting Deborah's consent, Liu Jin simply used her as the prototype and reshaped the character.

So far, he's satisfied.

The progress of creation is also under his control.

If all goes well, it can probably be completed in February.

After all, he has a very complete plot in his mind, which is even better than the original.

Because some of the lines in the movie version were carefully designed by the screenwriters and are much better than those in the original work.

The only thing that worried Liu Jin was the male protagonist Batisian.

After all, they are of Chinese descent. Can they be accepted by Europe and the United States?
As for the background, it is of course France. Could it be Sweden?

In his heart, Liu Jin has always disliked Sweden!
