Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 557 You are the world's greatest director

"You can handle the liaison with Time magazine."

After a moment's thought, Zhou Qing gave Director Yang the following order.

Even with Zhou Qing's current level of expertise, he is quite interested in Time magazine.

"Understood, Director Zhou."

Director Yang, without any hesitation, immediately established further communication with Time magazine.

It was finally decided that the interview would be held a month later.

After some thought, Zhou Qing concluded that he should be fine a month from now.

"The Universe in an Instant" is still showing in theaters, so there's no way I'm going to make a new movie.

Putting aside all those messy things, the most likely thing for me to do is stay at home with my wife and kids.

I don't think there will be any problem with giving an interview or something.

This matter was thus reached a very pleasant agreement.

"Director Zhou, congratulations! Not only have you won the Best Director award for the third time, but you've also won the Best Film award!"

"You are now the most amazing director in the world."

Little Li got Zhou Qing's contact information and immediately called to congratulate him.

To be honest, this movie, "Instant Universe," really amazed even Leonardo DiCaprio.

The fact that "Barbie" swept across North America and the world had already propelled Zhou Qing to the pinnacle of Hollywood.

Leonardo DiCaprio thinks Zhou Qing's next movie definitely won't be as explosive.

After all, no matter how great a director is, it's impossible for every film to be a smash hit.

But who would have thought that "Instant Universe" would actually sweep the market?

Although it didn't sweep the box office, it did sweep the Oscars!

Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress... Wow, he won four major awards in one go.

To put it bluntly, this year's Oscars were a personal showcase for director Zhou.

In addition, with the box office success of "Instant Universe" being as explosive as the original blockbuster "Inception," this film is definitely a blockbuster that will keep you up at night in the history of Hollywood films.

Even Leonardo DiCaprio was a little envious.

It's a pity, it's such a pity.

There was no suitable role for me in this movie.

"Leon, thank you, but you're exaggerating."

"While 'Instant Universe' has achieved some success, that's all. I'm still far from being a truly top-tier director and need to continue working hard."

Zhou Qing smiled and modestly told Xiao Li.

The other party immediately bestowed upon him the title of "the most amazing director," which Zhou Qing dared not accept.

If this gets out, Zhou Qing will have offended countless directors.

"No, Director Zhou, in my heart, you are the most amazing director."

Leonardo DiCaprio emphasized this point again.

It wasn't that Leonardo DiCaprio was intentionally flattering Zhou Qing; this was genuinely what he thought.

Looking at the world, which director can match Zhou Qing's achievements?
With so many awards from the three major European awards and the Oscars, their sheer number of trophies is truly unmatched.

It's so incredible in art, and it's equally incredible in business.

When the other party was making a living in their own country, they maintained the box office champion status for many consecutive years.

He hasn't made many films in Hollywood, but each one has achieved remarkable success.

It can become the annual box office champion and then be a huge global hit!
Taking all these factors into account, Leonardo DiCaprio really can't find a director more capable than Zhou Qing.

Even the most talented directors in Hollywood are only better than Zhou Qing in certain aspects. For example, truck drivers.

Leonardo DiCaprio admitted that in terms of box office numbers, he far surpassed Zhou Qing, but what awards did the truck driver receive?
Zhou Qing completely thrashed them.

Besides, while Truck Driver's box office is impressive, how many Hollywood blockbusters has he actually starred in?
How many movies has Zhou Qing directed?

Leonardo DiCaprio believes that, given Zhou Qing's demonstrated talent, if he were to delve into Hollywood and make enough blockbuster films, surpassing the truck driver might not be impossible.

This includes directors such as Spielberg and Peter Jackson.

They had only won some awards in Hollywood, but had never achieved anything in the Big Three.

In Xiao Li's mind, Zhou Qing was indeed slightly inferior.

"Alright, Leon, I haven't even made my next movie yet. Isn't it a bit too early to be sucking up to me?"

Zhou Qing then jokingly teased Xiao Li.

On the other end of the receiver, Little Li couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After chatting with Zhou Qing for a while in a very pleasant atmosphere, Xiao Li suggested that he should host a banquet to celebrate Zhou Qing's arrival.

After a moment's thought, Zhou Qing, who had nothing else to do anyway, agreed.

However, before that, I specifically told Xiao Li that we should just find a private and quiet place to get together.

Let's not have Leonardo DiCaprio's parties.

Although Little Li is indeed quite enthusiastic about throwing parties, since Zhou Qing specifically requested it, he respected Zhou Qing's idea.

They stopped doing all those fancy things.

He simply brought his girlfriend, world-renowned supermodel Vitoria, to meet Zhou Qing at a very stylish restaurant.

"Director Zhou, congratulations! You have once again impressed the entire Hollywood."

"Crystal, it's been a long time. You're still as beautiful as you were ten years ago. I can't believe you're already a mother."

Leonardo DiCaprio has a very sweet tongue, and his compliments made Liu Yifei unable to help but show a bright smile.

"Thank you, Leon. You look much more handsome than before."

Liu Yifei greeted Leonardo DiCaprio with a smile.

"That's a must. I'm on a diet right now. Look, my belly fat is gone, my double chin is gone, and I'm getting back to my peak appearance."

Leonardo DiCaprio showed off his current physique to Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei.

Zhou Qing was quite amazed by what he saw.

You know, ever since Leonardo DiCaprio won the Oscar, he's completely let loose.

He's always at one party or another, and has long since become a middle-aged, overweight, unkempt "slovenly uncle".

And this state has been maintained for many years.

Zhou Qing really didn't expect that Xiao Li Zi would lose so much weight when they met again.

"Leon, you've lost so much weight! Did something happen to you?"

Zhou Qing glanced at Xiao Lizi up and down, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

“Vittoria said I should change my lifestyle, and she didn’t really like how I used to be.”

Xiao Li simply explained it to Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei.

It has to be said that this surprised both Zhou Qing and Xiao Li.

After all, everyone in the entertainment industry knows that Leonardo DiCaprio only likes models under 25 and has never dated anyone over 26.

Given his personality, it's hard to imagine him losing weight for a woman.

"Let me introduce you to my girlfriend, Vitoria."

At that moment, Leonardo DiCaprio introduced the supermodel next to Zhou Qing and the other person.
