"Good guy, your boy can actually win the favor of this family. Didn't they express any objection?" Liu Qingshan admired.
Little Rousseau explained: "Our family is not bad. Besides, she and I have been together since childhood and have an inseparable emotional foundation. It doesn't matter if their family has different opinions, and there are brothers and sisters of Kylena's generation. There are many, more than thirty!"
"Holy shit!" Liu Qingshan couldn't help but uttered a curse word that little Rousseau couldn't understand, "There are so many, and they are all direct descendants?"
"Absolute direct lineage. If you include the side branches, Kylena herself can't even count how many there are, hahaha!"
After chatting all the way, we walked into the lobby of the villa. There were already a lot of guests inside. In fact, there were also many people at the party in the yard, including many celebrities. However, there was a huge swimming pool separated from the entrance. Just enough time to meet.
Liu Qingshan didn't know most of the guests here, but fortunately there was one familiar person, Miu Miu, the head of Prada.
This lady in her fifties, dressed in jewels, looked rich and dignified, but when she saw him, she was shouting: "Haha, Mr. Liu is here, hurry up, hurry up, I Let me introduce you to some old friends!”
Liu Qingshan was only followed by Jin Xishan and Taylor, who were following suit. The others were invited to another living room by the housekeeper here.
These guests are nothing more than a certain senior executive of the same college, or the boss of a certain enterprise, the main person in charge of an association or labor union, or the initiator of a certain subject project.
The names were all unfamiliar to him, but he also knew that anyone who could make it here today would be a supporter of Trish's lineage.
The person related to him was the vice president of the Screen Actors Guild named Bob. It was obvious that the other party also wanted to get acquainted with him. First of all, his attitude was very positive.
Ninety percent of the world's top international stars are registered in Hollywood, and there are countless unknown or less famous stars. To be able to hold important positions in the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild, which controls such a large scale, one's connections and abilities Needless to say.
In fact, this is also the case. Bob's conversation is relaxed and humorous. Although he talks endlessly, it will never give people the feeling of being boastful or flashy. It just gives people a good impression of being sincere and frank, and being able to talk.
This is particularly profound for Liu Qingshan. There is no sense of awe for his super high force value in the other party's words and deeds, but there is a hint of respect and admiration in his words.
You must know that Liu Qingshan's face does not look very mature. The youthfulness that he should have at the age of 22 does not appear so mature and capable with a high-end Prada dress suit.
And Bob is an old man over sixty years old, and he holds a lot of power. Although he does not have the aura of strategizing like the wind of Jishan like the boss of a successful company, he still vaguely exudes the feeling of a superior person with a rising sun in his chest. style.
But for such a character, when facing the 22-year-old Liu Qingshan, he talked like an old friend and made many people around him feel comfortable. This is his wise side.
It's just that the two of them were very smart and didn't communicate in depth about something. Instead, they had the due etiquette. They both naturally handed over the leadership of the topic back to Miu Miu's hands. After all, she was the one.

The recommender among the people.
Miu Miu did not continue her previous courtesy, but circled around Liu Qingshan, tut-tutting: "I have been in the fashion industry for decades, and I have seen countless excellent figures, but today is another one." With the new understanding, it seems that Mr. Liu is the most stylish in our Prada dress, Xishan, don’t you think so?”
Jin Xishan raised his thumb at her: "Although I am very close to him, I can sigh without hesitation. Only the brand under your name can take advantage of Shanzi's figure. Present it!”
Bob also gave her a thumbs up: "Ms. Jin's speaking skills are very good, and she doesn't sound insincere at all!"
Everyone laughed, and Miu Miu deliberately gave Bob a look of reproach: "Look at what you said, as if the moon's ability to talk has become a shortcoming now!"
But she turned to look at Jin Xishan and immediately added: "This old guy is like this Bob. He has always been very good at expressing himself in front of young and beautiful women, and he often forgets his age!"
The laughter continued, and Liu Qingshan also smiled and gave an understanding explanation: "Mr. Bob has met many people in his life. To be able to reach his current status, his speaking skills have long been proficient. How can he be caught so easily?" , I like this humorous way of communication!”
One of them expressed that he did not understand the idioms used in Liu Qingshan's dialect. After hearing Jin Xishan's explanation in a low voice, he suddenly realized: "The charm of the Chinese language is particularly prominent in classical poetry. So far, no other language None of them have very accurate translations. Their authors are so high-level and well-educated that it is not an exaggeration to call them linguists and literary masters. Just like the idioms used by Liu Qingshan, they are rich in profound cultural implications. It’s really hard for us foreigners to learn the essence!”
This person is a department executive at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He is in charge of language teaching, but he only has a superficial understanding of Chinese.
This college has gathered a large number of experts and scholars from all walks of life. For example, Tracy Gerald has a PhD in sociology. The subject monographs compiled by her have been included in daily teaching materials in dozens of countries.
Therefore, every person with a formal position is very special, and Liu Qingshan’s attitude towards this person is also very respectful: “There are two simplest ways to learn Chinese well. One is to live in China by yourself, Study for a period of time, and then find a Chinese partner, otherwise you won’t be able to learn the essence in famous universities abroad!”
Amid a burst of laughter, the man's eyes lit up: "As far as I know, Mr. Liu once jointly established an institution with a certain descendant of the British royal family, specializing in teaching Chinese culture. According to what you said, like that Can’t you learn authentic Chinese in teaching institutions?”
Liu Qingshan explained with a smile: “The purpose of our school is not just to teach the ability to use Chinese, but also covers too many areas, such as the academic transmission of traditional arts and culture such as martial arts, medicine, history, etc., and it is not mandatory for students to master it. The essence is to master the Chinese way of education through this learning process, which is like the oral arithmetic skills of mathematics. The oral arithmetic and arithmetic skills of most high school students in Europe and America are not as good as that of a primary school student in China. Is that true?"
"Yes, yes, my granddaughter is only nine years old now, and she can prepare multiplication tables. She is much better at verbal calculations than her fourteen-year-old sister!"

"So, only classroom time does not guarantee learning a language, let alone Chinese, which is the most difficult to master in the world. It is good to be able to master simple conversation skills, but if you want to have a deeper understanding and more skillful application, you have to Rely on the two methods I just mentioned!"
"Conversation skills in ordinary life are the key? I have remembered Mr. Liu's advice. After returning home, I suggested that children learning Chinese should try their best to find opportunities to experience living with local Chinese people!"
This conversation was just an episode in a casual chat, but Liu Qingshan never expected that today's conversation would set off a craze among people from the United States and the United States who were interested in learning Chinese. This is a story for later, so I won't mention it for now.
It didn't take long for Tracy and his wife, who were the initiators of the party, to show up. They had been giving the chefs dish requirements in the huge kitchen in the annex building. Since today's chief guests are Chinese, of course they have to focus on Chinese food.
After seeing the two of them, Liu Qingshan also quickly took out the gifts he had brought. In addition to a special jar of Zhang Yu Shaojiu, he also brought a set of ancient Chinese books to the male host Gerald.
Although Gerard's mastery of the Chinese language was insufficient, he developed a strong interest in Chinese culture, among which calligraphy was one of them.
Therefore, the ancient books brought by Liu Qingshan have far richer meanings than calligraphy, and they are not printed materials only available in later generations, but authentic works of ancients. The mere copying effect makes Gerald great. Feeling satisfied.
He took it and read it carefully without putting it down. In order to protect the integrity of the ancient book, he even put on a pair of snow-white gloves and looked professional.
At this time, little Rousseau quietly came forward and muttered in Liu Qingshan's ear: "Actually, my grandfather doesn't know a few Chinese characters. According to him, he is feeling the meaning of the Chinese characters and looking for the texture of the brushstrokes! "
Liu Qingshan was secretly happy in his heart, wondering what effect it would have to be so immersed in it without knowing a few words. Seeing words he didn't recognize was like looking at ghost drawings, and it was of no practical use at all.
But it's hard for him to point it out. Maybe he really has some kind of talent, and can understand the techniques in the handwriting process from unfamiliar words.
Tracy took advantage of this moment to lead everyone to the open-air party outside, where there were large and small parasols with complete tables and chairs under the umbrellas, providing a shady place to rest.
More than a dozen uniformly dressed waiters were constantly wandering among the crowd. There were all kinds of famous wines and cigars on the trays in their hands, which could be supplied to the guests at any time.
Liu Qingshan was called over by Robert De Niro, who currently replaces Richard Gere as the first male lead in "Chicago".
Surrounding him were his fellow cast members and other Hollywood giants or directors, but Liu Qingshan knew only a few of them. Apart from Martin Scorsese, they were Al Pacino and Joe Pesci.
Coming closer, De Niro first introduced the others to him, and then said: "You came up with the idea of taking over the role of Billy Flynn, right? You go and explain it to him yourself, in order to help you solve the dilemma. , the entire cast of ‘The Irishman’ has been shut down!”
