Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 145: Director Zhou, the biggest legend in Beijing Film Academy, Liu Yifei invites him to meet her parents?

"what!"

The next day, Zhou Qing, who woke up naturally from a good sleep, stretched comfortably.

I pulled open the curtains and the soft but not scorching sunlight from outside shone in.

It made Zhou Qing feel full of vitality.

Looking at the time, it's already past nine o'clock. If I go to work, I will definitely be late.

Fortunately, Zhou Qing is the boss himself, so this kind of thing doesn't matter to him.

I picked up my phone and checked it, and found several missed calls.

One of them was from his assistant, so Zhou Qing replied directly.

"Director Zhou, you're spending the night in the studio, I just want to ask if you need breakfast."

I have to say that the young assistant did a very good job. He found out that Zhou Qing was sleeping in the studio and did not leave, and he took all aspects of the problem into consideration.

Zhou Qing didn't think anything of it at first, but after hearing what the assistant said, he actually felt a little hungry.

"I remember there is a breakfast shop nearby. Please buy me some tofu pudding and fried dough sticks."

Zhou Qing thought about it and said to his assistant.

"Understood, Director Zhou."

The other party responded and hurried off to buy breakfast for Zhou Qing.

After Zhou Qing finished washing up, the assistant appeared in front of him with a steaming hot breakfast.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Zhou Qing said a polite word, paid the breakfast money to the assistant, and started to enjoy his breakfast.

While eating, I was thinking about a question: it’s time to buy a house in Beijing.

Although the special lounge in my studio has everything, it is even better than ordinary hotels.

But after all, it's just a temporary resting place.

What's more, as a reborn person, Zhou Qing is very clear about what a crazy trend the housing prices will be in the future.

Buying a house now is definitely a great value.

You should know that the average housing price in Beijing is only over 5000 yuan per square meter.

For example, 4000 is considered a high price in some suburbs.

Even some large villas have an average price of only over ten thousand to less than twenty thousand.

Especially this year, the "Eight National Measures" for macro-control have been very strict in suppressing housing prices, and the entire housing market is not very hot.

Now is a good time to get started.

So what is Zhou Qing’s current net worth?

Not counting "The Hearing Girl", the revenue from the first three movies alone has made him earn enough to reach a small goal.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhou Qing can choose almost any house in the entire capital.

I have to say, this feeling is still very good.

"Ok, deal."

After a little thought, Zhou Qing finally made this decision.

But there is no need to rush about this kind of thing, just find time to do it.

After having breakfast and taking a quick rest, he continued to work.

As before, there are almost all kinds of invitations.

There are lectures, interviews, seminars and exchanges, it's endless.

There are also some guests from film festivals and other events that I have never heard of before.

Zhou Qing glanced at it without even thinking about it.

"Endorsement?"

There was also a well-known domestic watch brand that asked Zhou Qing to be its spokesperson, which was something Zhou Qing had not expected.

He is just a director, not an actor.

But after thinking about it again, Zhou Qing felt relieved.

In the eyes of those capitalists, there is no essential difference between directors and actors. As long as they have fame and traffic, it's fine.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhou Qing's current popularity and influence are no worse than those of first-tier stars.

Even the level is higher.

Under such circumstances, is it surprising that some brands are targeting Zhou Qing?

But Zhou Qing didn't consider it in the end.

Considering his current level, taking on endorsements would indeed be detrimental to his status.

What's more, the price offered by the other party did not impress Zhou Qing at all.

"Director Zhou, Mr. Jiang from Wanda Films has made an appointment to visit."

While Zhou Qing was dealing with some backlogged matters, assistant Xiao Liu knocked on Zhou Qing's door to report.

Wanda Films?

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows.

Wanda Films is just starting out now and is a small company, but it will become a giant in the future.

What's more important?
Wanda Films is not just an ordinary film and television company, they have their own cinema chain.

Zhou Qing has always adhered to the principle of making friends with such capital tycoons.

Without much hesitation, Zhou Qing nodded: "Let's make an appointment the day after tomorrow morning."

"Understood, Director Zhou."

After finishing the things at hand, Zhou Qing went back to Beijing Film Academy.

It is now the beginning of the school year and the freshmen of Class 05 have already enrolled, adding a lot of vitality and vigor to the school.

Although they were all new faces, Zhou Qing saw many of them for the first time, but the opposite was true.

As soon as he appeared, he was immediately recognized by the freshmen of Class 05.

There is no way, who asked Zhou Qing to be the face of Beijing Film Academy now?
He is the biggest star in Beijing Film Academy.

If we were to ask who is the most famous and popular person in Beijing Film Academy right now, it would undoubtedly be Zhou Qing, no doubt about it.

Before graduating from university, Zhou Qing won the Silver Bear, Golden Bear, Silver Lion and Golden Lion at the same time, making him a legend of Beijing Film Academy and an idol admired by all students!

Although what Yang Mi said on the set of The Return of the Condor Heroes was just nonsense, in fact, quite a number of people came for Zhou Qing.

I can only say that the power of idols is so huge.

Just like the year when Tom Cruise's "Top Gun" was a hit, many young people in the United States were crazy about signing up for the Air Force.

"That's Director Zhou! Director Zhou is back at Beijing Film Academy!"

In a corner of the campus, Yang Mi was chatting and laughing with a few freshmen, and suddenly everyone became excited.

They all looked in one direction and shouted excitedly.

Yang Mi also glanced in the direction everyone was looking, and a fiery look immediately flashed in her eyes.

Director Zhou Qing!

It's really him!

"Director Zhou is even more handsome in person than he looks in the newspapers and on the Internet. He's good enough to be an actor."

"Yeah, he's so handsome and he's actually a director, and he's also so awesome."

"Why don't you go and say hello to Director Zhou? If you're chosen by Director Zhou, you'll be able to rise to the top in one step."

Everyone was chattering non-stop, some even pretending to say hello to Zhou Qing, but it was just talk in the end.

No one dares to actually take that step.

But who would have thought that Yang Mi would walk straight towards Zhou Qing without saying a word.

"Director Zhou, it's been so long since school started, and I finally get to see you."

Yang Mi greeted Zhou Qing sweetly with a warm smile on her face.

"It's you, Yang Mi."

How could Zhou Qing not know Da Mimi? Even though Da Mimi is still Little Mimi now, he exchanged a few words with her in a gentle manner.

"Congratulations on winning the Golden Lion Award in Venice, bringing honor to Beijing Film Academy and Chinese-language films!"

Yang Mi also took the opportunity to congratulate Zhou Qing.

"Thank you."

Zhou Qing responded with a smile.

Yang Mi still didn't chat much with Zhou Qing, nor did she make any requests to him. She just made her presence known and left.

I have to say that this is a person who knows how to keep a sense of propriety.

"No way, Yang Mi, you actually know Director Zhou?"

"You are so amazing, Yang Mi, that's Director Zhou!" "You even know such a great man, big sister, I really have to call you sister!"

After Yang Mi returned, her friends were all stunned, and they all looked at her with new eyes.

There were constant exclamations.

Only then did a smug smile appear on Yang Mi's face.

Being able to know Director Zhou these days is indeed something that makes people envious and jealous.

"Where's the trophy?"

I went to the head teacher first.

Wang Jinsong immediately extended his hand to Zhou Qing, he was so impatient.

Before Zhou Qing returned from Venice, Wang Jinsong specifically instructed Zhou Qing to bring the trophy back to school.

It’s nothing, the school just needs to show off!

This was the task assigned to Wang Jinsong by the school leaders.

Especially now that it is the beginning of the school year, it is a good opportunity to write an article.

"Teacher Wang, you should have come to Venice with me."

Zhou Qing smiled as he took out the Golden Lion trophy and handed it to Wang Jinsong, and couldn't help but sigh.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a good story for them to receive the award on the same stage as teachers and students?
"How can you be so embarrassed to ask for leave all the time? I wasted so many days on filming the previous movie."

Wang Jinsong shook his head with regret.

Do you think he doesn't want to go to Venice to show off?

Of course the teacher thought about it too.

I just took a month off to film, and now you want to take another half month off to go to Venice to receive an award?

Or is it an award that is destined to have nothing to do with you?
It really doesn’t make sense.

"Let's go, the leaders are waiting."

After exchanging pleasantries with Zhou Qing, Wang Jinsong took Zhou Qing to visit the school leaders.

I took a lot of photos and it took me more than half an hour to finish.

"You really did win the Golden Lion Award."

When I returned to the classroom, my classmates gathered around me and I was surrounded by them.

Liu Yifei also came over with a faint smile, her eyes full of unstoppable admiration.

Zhou Qing is so amazing.

"It's not easy to win this award. We have a strong opponent this time."

Zhou Qing stopped pretending in front of Liu Yifei and spoke out his true thoughts.

"Director Li An? He is indeed a strong rival."

Liu Yifei has also been paying attention to what's happening in Venice, so she naturally knows that Li An's "Brokeback Mountain" is also a hot favorite for the award.

"But in the end, it was you who won the Golden Lion, so you are still better."

Then Liu Yifei changed the subject and laughed.

"You can't say that. A trophy doesn't mean anything. Director Li An should not be underestimated."

Zhou Qing did not dare to underestimate Li An at all.

"By the way, Zhou Qing."

The two sides chatted for a while, and Liu Yifei told Zhou Qing something.

Liu Xiaoli planned to invite Zhou Qing to her home for a simple meal.

"Does this count as meeting the parents?"

Zhou Qing smiled and teased Liu Yifei.

"What parents are you meeting? How can it be so fast?"

A blush appeared on Liu Yifei's cheeks.

"Haha, it's only a matter of time."

Zhou Qing smiled. He thought Liu Yifei's embarrassed look was quite cute.

"You're so thick-skinned."

Liu Yifei curled her lips.

"My mom must want you to hang out more and ask you to film with me. Don't worry about her, just go and sit for a while."

After a few jokes, Liu Yifei spoke to Zhou Qing in a serious tone.

If Liu Xiaoli heard this, she would definitely be very upset.

My little cotton-padded jacket is leaking, and it's leaking pretty badly.

"Don't you have this idea?"

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows.

"Didn't you say you would find me if there was a suitable role? I believe you."

Liu Yifei said without thinking.

It was precisely because she believed in Zhou Qing that she felt that everything Liu Xiaoli did was unnecessary.

"You are so considerate, Sissi."

"That is."

Liu Yifei raised her head proudly.

"It's rare that Auntie is so kind, what time?"

Zhou Qing agreed without any hesitation.

He even kidnapped Liu Xiaoli's daughter. How could he not give her face when she invited him to dinner?

The matter was so happily agreed upon.

"Director Zhou, President Jiang is here."

Jiang Defu, general manager of Wanda Films, arrived as scheduled, and Zhou Qing received him in the reception room.

"Director Zhou!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

Both parties shook hands with smiles on their faces and the atmosphere on the scene was very pleasant.

"First of all, congratulations to Director Zhou for winning the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. Our Beijing Film Academy is really full of talented people, especially talented directors like Director Zhou, who are rare even in the history of Beijing Film Academy."

Jiang Defu spoke in a loud voice and with a bright smile, he gave Zhou Qing a wave of business boasting.

“Our” Beijing Film Academy. Yes, I can only say that this world is really small, and there are alumni of Beijing Film Academy everywhere.

This executive from Wanda Film and Television also graduated from Beijing Film Academy.

However, the other party was not from the acting or directing department, but from the management department.

He once served as deputy director of the Publicity and Distribution Department of Beijing Film Studio, and also served as general manager of a branch and distribution company under China Film Group.

On January 1 this year, he joined Wang Jianlin and served as the general manager of Wanda Film and Television Media Co., Ltd.

He will become the senior vice president of Bona Film Group in the future.

He is also a powerful figure.

"Mr. Jiang, thank you for your compliment."

Zhou Qing handled it with ease and was polite and modest.

Since both parties were from Beijing Film Academy, the subsequent conversation between them was very pleasant.

As for Jiang Defu's purpose, it was the same as the previous Starry Road, which was just to pay homage to the mountain.

There's nothing specific.

After all, Wanda has just entered the film industry, so of course she has to get in touch with the bigwigs in this industry.

"We at Wanda have been preparing for entering the film industry for a long time, but it was not until this year that we officially took this step and established Wanda Film Co., Ltd."

"I believe that many film and television companies have already contacted Director Zhou, and there must be many powerful and established film and television companies among them."

"Compared to them, Wanda Films is a newcomer, but this does not mean that Wanda Films is weak. We have Wanda Group behind us."

"We at Wanda Films have another huge advantage that they don't have. In January this year, the higher authorities approved us to establish a cinema chain."

Jiang Defu spoke eloquently in front of Zhou Qing, and he was full of vigor and vitality.

It is indeed puzzling that they can build a cinema chain.

Although it is just starting out and Wanda Cinemas has a small number of screens, with the support of a towering tree like Wanda Group, the future of Wanda Cinemas is still very promising.

You should know that as of 14, Wanda Cinemas had already occupied 14.5% of the national box office share.

Taking all these circumstances into consideration, Zhou Qing and Jiang Defu had a relatively pleasant chat.
