This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 940 I Want to Plot Against Your Daughter (asking for monthly tickets)
Hao Yun can have a pleasant chat with anyone, and his father-in-law is no exception.

The prerequisite for a pleasant conversation is not to talk about things that the other person does not understand.

If we talk about movies, Hao Yun can talk about it for three days and three nights, but for ordinary people, the difference between movies is just about having seen it and not having seen it, and being good and not being good.

Dad An can be talked into falling asleep.

Therefore, Hao Yun chose the topic that his father-in-law was best at and most interested in.

That is the Confucius Institute.

My father-in-law is now in his fifties, and the Confucius Institute is probably the last stop in his official career.

I'll probably go back when I retire.

At most, they would be re-employed as consultants by some foreign affairs institutions or Confucius Institutes.

Therefore, he is very dedicated to running the Confucius Institute.

The Confucius Institutes are currently developing rapidly. The reason for this is that the leading organization is of a very high level. It is initiated by Hanban and promoted by the cultural and educational system.

China provides money, personnel and manpower to set up Confucius Institutes in foreign universities and research institutes. Foreigners do not need to pay tuition to study Chinese language and Chinese culture in Confucius Institutes.

Free stuff will always attract people wherever you go.

It was indeed fully implemented in a short period of time, allowing Chinese culture to quickly go abroad and allow people from different cultures in various countries around the world to feel the profoundness of Chinese culture.

However, it is not without problems.

That is, you are the official who takes the lead in doing things, and the people you send are foreign affairs personnel at least at the deputy-division level. What do you want others to think?

This government-led "all-inclusive" school-running model has caused European and American countries to doubt the purpose of Confucius Institutes. At the same time, the practice of paying foreigners to learn Chinese has also been looked down upon by the international community.

Even if it's just to collect some money.

On this issue, Hao Yun talked about his own views.

He didn't want to convince An's father of anything, and this kind of thing was not something An's father could decide.

My father-in-law is simply insignificant in the wave of Confucius Institutes.

Hao Yun's purpose is to show his own insights and opinions.

Then, he really doesn't think highly of the way the Confucius Institute operates.

As a filmmaker, he has repeatedly sold his films to Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and also sold the copyrights to Europe and the United States.

This time, "Hello! Mr. Tree" won the Golden Lion Award, and the overseas copyright was sold for 100 million, doubling from the original 200 million US dollars.

For such a depressing art film, this is a sky-high price.

The copyright owner will most likely not make any money.

However, Hao Yun can recover the filming costs of the movie just by relying on overseas copyrights.

This movie was invested in by Anhao Films, Heidou Media, and Liu Furong's Asia Star Project, which is Yingyi Entertainment.

Strictly speaking, Hao Yun is also engaged in cultural exports.

But not only does he not lose money, he also makes huge profits while exporting.

"Your Name" reaped more than 10 billion yen in box office in Japan, which is such a victory.

Although a culturally strong country is an important business card for enhancing a country's "soft power", it does not mean paying money and begging foreigners!

The real output of cultural "soft power" is not simply to spend money to send it abroad, but to make it strong from the root so that foreigners will come to learn from it.

It is difficult for different cultures to integrate, and only powerful cultures can invade and assimilate inferior cultures.

Of course, everyone is working towards the same goal in their own track.

Everyone has their own difficulties and considerations, and no one laughs at anyone else.

Moreover, Hao Yun can also help.

"Will it delay your filming?" When An's father heard Hao Yun say that he could go to the Confucius Institute where Hao Yun is the Chinese principal to be a volunteer for a few days, he was happy but also a little embarrassed.

Such a busy man, yet he tries to please himself so much.

It was so touching...crying!

In this case, how could he still have the idea of ​​making things difficult for Hao Yun?

Anyway, it looks good no matter how you look at it now.

More than worthy of my own daughter!

It’s a pity that as a divorced father who lost custody, he has no say, otherwise he would have slammed the table and shouted, “We don’t want any dowry.”

"In Nolan's new film, I am only the second male lead. Although my roles may be a little sporadic, I have plenty of time. I think I can talk to them about Chinese films, Chinese music, Chinese literature, etc. I have a little knowledge of all of them."

Hao Yun said very modestly.

"That's great!" praised An's father.

Hao Yun himself is a doctor of law and studied under a master. Even if he does not have a teaching certificate or something, he is qualified enough to perform the duties of a teacher in informal settings.

What's more, he just won the Golden Lion Award.

He is highly respected in cultural circles throughout Europe.

I guess many universities hope to invite him for academic exchanges.

"I'll send you a copy of the schedule later, and you can arrange the specific communication." Hao Yun either doesn't want to please, or he must please in one go.

Then it will be convenient for him to seek benefits or attributes from the person being flattered.

This time is a little special.

He wanted to take advantage of someone else's daughter.

It was already noon as we chatted. Since we were visiting someone's house, we definitely couldn't just sit there and leave.

The future son-in-law must be invited to have lunch at noon.

While living in France, An's father and his second wife still mainly eat Chinese food.

"Auntie, please sit down and let me cook the dishes."

Hao Yun would definitely not miss such an opportunity to show off.

Even if An's father is insignificant, he still has to pretend to be as cool as he can.

"you……"

The mother-in-law was not sure. She was worried that Hao Yun was just trying to be stubborn.

"Sister...brother-in-law has a chef's certificate." The youngest daughter said quietly.

She had read the news report in which her sister complained about Hao Yun, saying that Hao Yun asked her to learn how to cook for the movie, but she accidentally revealed that she had a chef's certificate.

This guy is really not an ordinary dog.

"Then let's try the great director's cooking skills." Father An snorted in his heart.

Bah, what a scumbag.

If it is discovered, it will naturally become a celebrity story, but what if the chef's certificate is not discovered? Then his daughter will have to cook for this guy for the rest of her life.

This is simply unreasonable!
Hao Yun asked about the placement of the ingredients and seasonings, then rolled up his sleeves and started working.

Soon, a table of dishes were prepared according to local conditions.

It has a good color, aroma and taste, and it makes you hungry just by smelling it.

A person's character can be judged by his drinking habits at the dinner table, and Hao Yun also plans to give his father-in-law a chance to see his drinking habits.

He has already planned it all out.

This time he only drank half a catty, and after that he started talking nonsense.

however……

What does it mean that he starts to stagger before he even finishes the third cup?

This is less than two taels!

"Oh..." The stepmother-in-law wanted to cover her face. Her husband's drinking was not only bad for his health, but also not good for his face.

Not only is it embarrassing, but sometimes I even fall over while drinking.

It's easy to fall on your face.

Hao Yun helped his father-in-law to the bed, and was disappointed to find that his father-in-law would probably never drink again in his life.

I gave you the chance but you didn't live up to it!
The father-in-law fell ill, and the stepmother-in-law and sister were not close to An Xiaoxi, so Hao Yun had nothing to talk about with them.

So, after he promised to bring a few copies of Leonardo's autographs to his sister-in-law, he and An Xiaoxi left his father-in-law's house.

It is impossible to stay overnight.

This family has basically nothing to do with An Xiaoxi.

When leaving, An Xiaoxi was feeling a little depressed.

Hao Yun rubbed her head and took her into the car - in order to facilitate travel, he and An Xiaoxi rented a car and driver from a car rental company here.

"Sometimes I just wonder if my parents hadn't divorced."

An Xiaoxi rarely shows such sadness.

Although she grew up in a single-parent family, she was almost ten years old when her parents divorced, and her mother remarried and married a well-paid man.

At least she has never been wronged.

After entering the entertainment industry, her mother has always protected her well.

Hao Yun never made her worry about resources.

The entertainment circle she is in is like two different entertainment circles from the ones other people are in.

So her character has always remained innocent, naughty, sunny and cheerful.

Only today did I bring my boyfriend to my father's house.

Looking at my father and his second wife and daughter, the happy family, I felt a lot of emotion.

"If your parents hadn't divorced, I wouldn't have had a very easy time getting through this hurdle today!" Hao Yun chuckled and said, "I can feel that he is very reluctant, but he can't do anything about it."

No matter how good your own things are, it is not as good as stealing others'.
