Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 38 The Great Director Returns
After finishing the final things, Zhou Qing did not spend any more time in Berlin.

I boarded a plane back to Beijing that day.

"Director Zhou Qing!"

"It's Director Zhou!"

"Director Zhou is back!"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qing was surrounded by a group of reporters just after getting off the plane, which caught him completely off guard.

"I was a little careless."

Zhou Qing couldn't help but complain in his heart.

He knew that he must have become famous in the country, but he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.

There are reporters waiting there specifically.

But apart from complaining, I am also really excited.

What does this mean?
This shows that we are really famous now.

It would be fine if he hadn't been caught, but now he was blocked by people, so Zhou Qing accepted the interview openly.

What's more, "127 Hours" will be released the day after tomorrow, so I might as well promote it as well.

Although "127 Hours" has received huge attention due to its award in Berlin, who can complain about too much popularity?
He answered a few questions symbolically, took out the trophy and was photographed by people.

mission completed.

Zhou Qing got into the taxi heading to Beijing Film Academy feeling refreshed.

During the time in Berlin, Wang Jinsong had specifically instructed Zhou Qing to return to school after finishing his work.

You know, although it is still winter vacation now, it is also the stage when art examinations are in full swing.

Zhou Qing "appeared out of nowhere" at this critical moment, and I wonder how much help he gave to Beijing Film Academy.

Just because of what Zhou Qing did in Berlin, the number of applicants to Beijing Film Academy this year has increased by at least 30% compared to last year!
The teachers in the admissions office and the school leaders were so happy.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master."

After getting off the car at the gate of Beijing Film Academy, Zhou Qing dragged his suitcase and walked into the school gate in a very low-key manner.

Beijing Film Academy is still bustling during the winter vacation, with countless students taking art exams coming in and out, accompanied by a large number of parents.

"It's Director Zhou!"

“The award-winning director in Berlin.”

"A legendary student from Beijing Film Academy. I heard he's still a freshman."

"I'll tell you a secret. Director Zhou is actually from the acting department."

When Zhou Qing passed by, there were bursts of discussions from every corner of the scene.

Many people recognized Zhou Qing.

But this is not something strange.

These past two days, all kinds of news about Zhou Qing have been all over the screen, and he is very popular right now.

Some people even had the courage to go up and say hello to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing didn't put on airs and responded politely.

After returning to the dormitory and taking a short rest, Zhou Qing went to visit Wang Jinsong.

The head teacher had been waiting for a long time and was getting impatient.

"Well done Zhou Qing, you have brought honor to the school and the country!"

As soon as Wang Jinsong saw Zhou Qing, he nodded repeatedly with great satisfaction.

"Teacher Wang, please stop praising me. Aren't you afraid that I will float up into the clouds?"

Zhou Qing just laughed.

"It's okay. I was really afraid that you would drift away."

Wang Jinsong became more and more satisfied.

The fact that Zhou Qing could joke like this showed that he was not carried away by his huge success.

This is really rare and precious for a young person.

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

After the two sides exchanged greetings, Wang Jinsong took Zhou Qing to see the school leaders again.

Needless to say, the school leaders also praised Zhou Qing highly.

But afterwards they got down to business and cooperated with the Propaganda Department in taking various photos and group photos.

The school even prepared a simple interview specifically for Zhou Qing.

If it is released during the enrollment period, it will definitely be a killer.

It took more than an hour to finish everything. Now that the work is done, the atmosphere becomes relaxed and everyone can chat about more casual topics.

"China Film Group plans to increase the screening schedule of 127 Hours by 10%."

Finally, the school leaders told Zhou Qing the good news.

Zhou Qing was naturally extremely excited. After returning from a trip to Berlin, the screening schedule doubled.

You should know that 10% of the screening rate is actually not low.

It's certainly not as good as those blockbusters, but this is actually a screening schedule that many movies can't get.

Especially for a film directed by a newcomer for the first time, this schedule is even more like a miracle.

So this is the weight of the three major European countries.

After winning the Best Director Award, various domestic media rushed to report on it and the popularity was off the charts.

Under normal circumstances, how much publicity and promotion expenses are needed to achieve such an effect?

Now that Zhou Qing has created such a high level of popularity, it would be a fool if China Film did not keep up with the scheduling of films.

After leaving Beijing Film Academy, Zhou Qing ignored all those miscellaneous matters and returned to his hometown in a very low-key manner.

Even though there are only a few days left in the winter vacation.

But he had been in Berlin for nearly a month because of the film festival, and didn't even go back for the Spring Festival.

Now that I finally have some free time, of course I have to go home.

"Aoko is back."

"This is incredible, Qingzi, it's even on TV."

"That's amazing. I saw you on the news."

Although his hometown is in the countryside and no one has the habit of reading newspapers or surfing the Internet, some of Zhou Qing's interviews have been broadcast on TV.

Wow, this is serious.

Not everyone knows what film festivals are, or what the Golden Bear and Silver Bear awards are.

But in the eyes of the folks, being able to appear on TV is already a great achievement.

Zhou Qing's fame has spread throughout his hometown.

He didn't know that during his time in Berlin, the door of his house had been broken down.

All the neighbors came to his house to inquire about his situation.

"You're back."

Although Dad was still acting reserved, he couldn't hide the smile in the corner of his eyes no matter what he did.

The father of the film festival actually didn’t understand it, but he knew that his son had really made it.

"I'm back, Dad. Where's Mom?"

Zhou Qing put his luggage away and turned around to look, but didn't see his mother.

"I'm cooking in the kitchen."

Dad explained casually.

"I heard Qingzi's voice. Is Qingzi back?"

As I was talking about my mother, she came out of the kitchen wearing an apron.

When he saw Zhou Qing, he immediately smiled.

"Yes mom, I'm back."

Zhou Qing also greeted his mother happily.

"I'm glad you're back. Just wait, the food will be ready soon. It's all your favorite."

Mother happily went to prepare delicious food for her son.

A happy smile appeared on Zhou Qing's face, and he felt the warmth of home.

At the dinner table, the father and son drank a few glasses, and the old man asked about what Zhou Qing had been doing recently.

Only then did I realize that the movie my son made was so amazing, and I couldn't stop smiling.

But when his parents found out that their son had sold millions of US dollars abroad, they were completely stunned.

Qiqi seemed to be struck by lightning.

I can't believe it. I totally can't believe it.

But this is not important. What is important is that my son has a promising future.

How much money you make is secondary.
