Chapter 484 Cannon!

Looking at the bunch of faces in front of him, Li Zhifan stood up, coughed dryly and left the piano: "Everyone, this is the end of today's class, everyone leave!"

"Professor Li, how did you practice?"

"Professor Li, how many years have you been playing the piano?"

"Professor, accept me as an apprentice!"

"Professor, accept me! I only worship you as my teacher..."

"¥%@#¥&..."

The students were still yelling, many of them spoke Chinese, Li Zhifan could still listen to them, some of them could barely understand a few words of English, and some of them were babbling.

Li Zhifan waved his hands and looked at David and Charité: "You two, look at the situation..."

"oh oh!"

David immediately cleared the way for him, and together with Charité arranged for the students to leave.

Half an hour later, Li Zhifan left the classroom. There were too many onlookers. Besides the students, many teachers and professors also came to join in the fun. I really don't know if they were looking at Li Zhifan or just out of curiosity.

noon.

College dining hall.

The principal, Mr. Smith, specially invited Li Zhifan to have a meal, and Song Song, David and Charité also participated.

Smith is a very talkative and elegant old man who knows the music circles all over the world like the back of his hand. He also praised the well-known alumni who graduated from the Berklee Conservatory of Music in China and thanked them for their contribution to opening up Berklee's popularity in China.

In the second half, Smith specialized in Li Zhifan and invited him to teach at the school, but Li Zhifan kept refusing his English, but said that it was okay to come as a visiting professor occasionally.

Hearing what Li Zhifan said, Smith was mostly relieved. In any case, Li Zhifan has contact with the school. As for his most original ideas, he can take it step by step.

……

California.

As soon as Li Zhifan came home, he immediately went upstairs to watch the children.

The prospective father-in-law and father have returned to China. During this time, only my mother was there. There were two Filipino maids at home, but my mother loves to watch domestic news online every day. Recently, news about a nanny broke out, and she was not at ease. , I just found an excuse and gave a pen compensation to send it away.

"small cherry!"

Li Zhifan leaned over to the crib with a smile on his face, and stretched out his fingers to tease the baby.

When she was just born, Little Cherry was wrinkled all over, but after more than two months, she is now chubby and very cute.

Little Cherry rolled her eyes creakingly, and when she saw Li Zhifan, her mouth narrowed.

Li Zhifan thought that Little Cherry was frightened or unhappy, so he immediately stuck out his tongue and wrinkled his nose, coaxing and teasing him. Unexpectedly, this trick really worked, Little Cherry laughed all of a sudden, and even let out a baby-like laugh.

"Ah! The child is crying?"

As soon as the mother heard the sound, she hurried in from the outside, but she was relieved when she saw the smile on Little Cherry's face, "Oh, it turned out to be a joke!"

"Mom!" Zhou Ke walked up and laughed, "I didn't expect Zhifan to be good at coaxing children!"

"A man is careless, how can a woman coax him carefully!"

The mother was quite disgusted with her son, "By the way, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll prepare it early!"

"Anything is fine!" Li Zhifan said, "Look at what Xiao Nier eats."

"I can do anything, too!" Zhou Ke followed, "Mom, why don't you just make some porridge, and I'll help you?"

"no, I'm fine!"

Mom left the room with a smile, "Then I'll go down and get ready."

"Success!" Li Zhifan grinned, and continued to tease Little Cherry.

Zhou Ke came up and hooked his neck: "I'll leave the child to you. I'll go down and help mom cook. Be sure to watch out. If something happens, you'll die."

"Know, know!"

Li Zhifan reached out to hug Little Cherry.

Unexpectedly, Little Cherry stretched out her hand on her own initiative, and her watery eyes longed to leave the small bed.

……

In a blink of an eye, the weekend.

Today is Little Cherry's [-]-year-old feast. Her father-in-law and father-in-law all rushed over from China. Song Song and Liu Yuan also came to visit with the whole family.

"Come, come, let me take a picture for you all. My photography skills are absolutely amazing!"

Song Song was holding the camera, looking like a great photographer, posing in POSS to take pictures of Li Zhifan's family.

"Don't turn on the flash!"

Li Zhifan instructed, "Flashes are not good for children's eyes, so I'll turn up the lights at home."

"Hurry up and set a time!"

Liu Yuan tidied his clothes and stood in the crowd, "Come and take a photo together!"

"Okay then, let's take a group photo first!"

Song Song fiddled with the camera while saying, "I'll take a picture of Zhifan's family alone after I'm done."

"Ding dong!"

Just then, the doorbell in the courtyard rang.

"Who is this!" Li Zhifan walked to the video access control machine and saw that it was Zhongju Youdou, and there were Thomas and David standing beside him, and he couldn't help but wondered, "Hey, why did they come along too?" .”

"Who?"

Mom asked curiously.

"My friend!"

Li Zhifan pressed the door open button, "I'll go out to welcome them, you put on a pose first, Brother Song, and leave room for three people to come out."

"okay!"

Song Song adjusted his anxiety and made an OK gesture.

Li Zhifan went out to the yard, and Zhongju Youdou and his party had already entered the gate.

"Hey, they're all here, Mr. David, I didn't expect you to come too!"

Li Zhifan stepped forward with a smile and shook hands with the three, but his enthusiasm for the selfish Thomas was slightly weaker than that of the other two.

After David said a few words, Nakai Uto translated for him: "Mr. David said, since he knew that your daughter had passed the [-]-day banquet, how could he not come to congratulate him? And he sent a gift to your daughter on behalf of Berkeley .”

As soon as the words were finished, the door opened again. It was the three of them who had left it open when they came in just now. The two white men who came in were wearing work uniforms, like plumbing repairers in American movies, but they were carrying a small piano in their hands.

The length of this piano is the same as that of an ordinary upright piano, but it is much shorter, almost only thirty centimeters in height.

"This is... a piano?" Li Zhifan asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Nakaju Yuto said, "This is actually an electric piano. Mr. David said that you would definitely let your daughter learn the piano, so I gave you one."

"How embarrassing!" Li Zhifan said with a smile, "I have a piano in my room!"

"This is suitable for children to learn!" Nakaju Yuto conveyed David's words again, "You haven't seen the inside yet, and you will definitely be very pleasantly surprised when the time comes."

The two workers moved the piano into the house, and then went out to continue moving things, but this time they were all small items, namely the limited edition dress-up dolls given by Nakaju Uto, and the children's water kayak given by Thomas.

The kayak was thrown directly into the swimming pool in the yard, and Udou's doll was brought in front of Little Cherry, and the little guy squealed happily. It seemed that this thing had a natural allure for children, even A three-month-old baby can't stop it.

I introduced the identities of these three to my parents, and they were all very happy, especially David felt a little honored to be here as the dean.

But seeing that everyone needs Song Song and Liu Yuan to help with translation, Li Zhifan immediately decided that he must learn this English well.

But then I thought about it, will there be English in the shopping mall of this star group?

It's like the Cantonese I learned from Andy Hua back then, besides there are foreign stars in the group, there must be some.

So, Li Zhifan opened the shopping mall of the chat group while going to the bathroom.

“Beckham's English!”

"Tyson's English!"

"JJ Lin's English!"

"Leehom's English..."

It doesn't matter whether Li Zhifan is a domestic or foreign star, anyone who saw this item in the mall bought it.

Moreover, if you buy the English of domestic stars, you can also translate Chinese and English quickly and accurately.

Looking at the items he bought in his backpack, Li Zhifan was very excited. This operation is really amazing. Moreover, if there are celebrities who speak other languages ​​in the group in the future, they can also learn it.

Absorbing these items in one breath, Li Zhifan washed his hands and walked out of the bathroom.

When I came to everyone, I said in fluent and pure British English: "Everyone, get ready, let's take pictures first, and then eat! Later, I will try the dumplings made by my mother and my mother-in-law, especially authentic Chinese food !"

When he said this, the room suddenly became quiet. Thomas and David froze there as if they had dried up. Liu Yuan, Song Song and Zhongju Youdou looked at Li Zhifan even more dumbfounded.

Even Zhou Ke has a surprised expression. She has been learning English for nearly a year since she came to the United States to wait for her baby. Her spoken English is not as authentic as that of Native Americans, but it is definitely better than Li Zhifan. Li Zhifan has made fun of this matter many times.

However, in this paragraph just now, these few people were all taken aback.

Liu Yuan didn't want Song Song and the others. He had been in the country some time ago and didn't run around with Li Zhifan. Seeing his embarrassment because he didn't understand English, he was the first to react: "You speak English well? You have an authentic British taste. I thought you really didn't know English."

Zhongju Youdou was still surprised: "I'll go, so you can speak English!"

"Yeah! Bai has been your translator for so long, so it turns out... are you kidding us?"

Song Song also came to his senses, came up and took Li Zhifan's hand, "Explain clearly to me, why are you hiding it so deeply?"

David is of British descent, but his ancestors came to the United States in the [-]th century and participated in the War of Liberation. Although he doesn't have much affection for Britain, he still feels a little friendly when he hears a pure London accent. Said: "Oh, I understand! Professor Li, you didn't say it because of your British accent, did you? It's okay, the United States is a free and open country, and all accents can be tolerated here!"

"NO! NO! NO!"

Li Zhifan switched to an authentic New York accent, "It's because my English is terrible, so I dare not say it, but it's not that I don't understand what you're saying, I'm just afraid of misunderstanding!"

"what……"

Hearing his current accent, everyone was again amazed.

I was even more surprised than just now that I can switch between two accents freely, and each of them is very pure, which is better than many authentic Americans.

Li Zhifan has not shown English with a Singaporean accent and English with an Australian accent. If you switch between these two, I am afraid these people will collapse!

The [-]-day banquet, which was enjoyable and harmonious, was held lively all afternoon, and it was not until after dinner that everyone left one after another.

night.

Li Zhifan was lying on the bed with his computer in his arms, receiving emails from China, and at the same time received the video of the awards ceremony of the Shanghai Film Festival held yesterday.

Sure enough, as Li Zhifan expected, after so many nominated awards, "Operation Mekong" only won the Best Screenplay Award. Although the two leading actors in the play also won awards, it was because of other movies.

"What are you looking at?"

Zhou Ke coaxed Little Cherry to sleep, squeezed towards Li Zhifan, took off his earphones and put on one for herself.

"Watch the award ceremony!"

Li Zhifan said with a smile, "These people, what they say on stage are all high-sounding words."

What he is watching now is not the video of the awards ceremony, but the interview on the red carpet event before the award ceremony. At this time, the interviewer is a TV series producer. This producer is quite famous, because since he started making TV series, he has produced a The series of suspended dramas and idol dramas are all the kind that are extremely bloody and have extremely low ratings on the Internet, but they are very popular during the broadcast period.

To put it bluntly, it is a movie that uses small fresh meat and small flowers to make money. The placement of advertisements in each episode takes up 5 minutes, and it is the kind of unscrupulous placement where actors use lines to introduce products.

However, when he was interviewed at this time, he criticized the domestic TV drama market bitterly, saying that the actors' remuneration is too high, resulting in insufficient production funds, and even many staff involved in the production can only wait for the TV series to be bought by the TV station to receive the money , to get the salary, and the early production fee cannot be paid to them at all.

"Cut! This guy is too hypocritical!"

Zhou Ke curled his lips, "I remember he declared before that ratings are not important, high popularity is a good movie, and he also claimed that the current TV drama market is king?"

"Hehe, so his interview just now can only be regarded as farting!"

Li Zhifan said with a smile, he fast-forwarded twice on the notebook, and didn't want to listen to this person's nonsense anymore.

However, the next person to be interviewed made Li Zhifan stop fast-forwarding immediately, and even backed off a bit, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Because this interviewee is Wang Keng, who had caused disputes on the Internet because of film scheduling before the release of "Operation Mekong"!

After two months, he took the movie that was forcibly shifted, and it will be released in September, but he still can't change the character of Da Pao. He sprayed the little fresh meat and small flowers once he came up, and he almost named it .

After talking about flowers and fresh meat, he began to criticize the domestic variety shows again, and he even pointed the finger at a star surnamed Yu, accusing him of being a good actor, but in the end he appeared on a variety show for laughing and foolishness, and his personality collapsed. Now he is an actor The audience couldn't get serious after watching the main drama, and even wanted to laugh when he watched the drama where he went berserk.

"Damn, is this also a criticism?" Li Zhifan was speechless, "I won't let him make money anymore, but speaking of which, this Yu X has really changed a lot. I used to like watching his plays."

In the video, after Wang Keng criticized for a while, he suddenly said a word of praise, and it was a big exaggeration. This caught Li Zhifan by surprise, and what was even more unprepared was that Wang Keng praised Li Zhifan and "Operation Mekong River". "!
