Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

"Director Zhou, good news!"

"The world box office for 'Instantaneous' has surpassed $14 billion!"

While enjoying a happy time at home with his wife and children, Director Yang reported another piece of good news to Zhou Qing a few days later.

The global box office of "Instant Universe" has broken through 14 billion!

What does $14 billion mean?
Even in the entire history of Hollywood films, it is a super blockbuster.

Take Marvel's top blockbuster "Avengers: Age of Ultron" for example. It grossed $14.05 billion worldwide, ranking 16th on the Hollywood global box office chart.

This is number 16 in film history!

In other words, "Instant Universe" started as the 16th highest-grossing film worldwide.

Keep in mind that this is only the box office figure after one month of the film's release.

Given the current momentum of "Instant Universe," its global box office will definitely continue to climb.

It might even break the record of over 16 billion yuan set by "Barbie".

Of course, even if it hadn't been broken, "Instant Universe" would still be a super blockbuster that would be written into film history.

In the global box office rankings, it would be more than just 16th.

It can definitely continue to climb higher.

This level of box office revenue is absolutely dazzling, even blinding.

How could Director Yang not be excited?

"I understand, that's good."

Zhou Qing appeared nonchalant on the surface, but inwardly he was extremely excited.

14 billion US dollars! A simple conversion would be over 10 billion RMB!

Even for Zhou Qing, this was an excellent result.

However, "Instant Universe" is different from "Barbie".

In fact, "Instant Universe" sold far less overseas than "Barbie".

Barbie's box office in China was not high, only 5 million RMB, which is equivalent to about 7000 million USD.

But what about "The Instant Universe"?

The domestic box office was more than ten times higher than that of "Barbie", reaching a total of 62 billion yuan!

That's equivalent to 8.6 million US dollars!

This means that the domestic box office of "Instant Universe" exceeded that of "Barbie" by 8 million US dollars.

Even so, The Instant Universe has not yet surpassed Barbie at the global box office, which shows just how popular Barbie is worldwide.

Of course, this is not important.

Regardless of where the film's box office revenue primarily comes from, "Instant Universe" is an undeniable global blockbuster.

When the girl told Liu Yifei and the others about the situation, she was so happy she almost jumped for joy.

It's worth noting that the girl is a major villain in "Instant Universe," a very important supporting character.

The girl is naturally very concerned about the box office performance of "Instant Universe".

"Zhou Qing, do you think 'Instant Universe' can eventually surpass 'Barbie'?"

Liu Yifei asked Zhou Qing with anticipation and longing.

"It's very possible."

Zhou Qing gave Liu Yifei an affirmative answer.

To be honest, Zhou Qing does feel that "Instant Universe" has untapped potential in overseas box office and can climb even higher.

There is indeed hope that it will surpass Barbie and the like.

But whether he could surpass it or not, Zhou Qing wasn't so sure.

But since the girl asked, Zhou Qing couldn't dampen her enthusiasm, could he?
So the question is, will *The Instant Universe* surpass *Barbie* at the box office? "*The Instant Universe* has grossed a staggering $17 billion worldwide, ranking 8th on the all-time global box office chart!"

"Director Zhou's film 'Instant Universe' has set a new career high, with a box office of $17 billion that has shocked the world!"

"The Instant Universe" surpasses Inside Out at the global box office, Chinese films are leading the trend worldwide.

By mid-April, "Instant Universe" had basically finished its run in theaters around the world, with only a very few countries still showing it in theaters.

However, its box office potential was almost exhausted, and its total box office revenue almost stabilized, which led to its exposure.

This immediately ignited the entire Chinese entertainment industry, causing a huge uproar.

It really stimulated everyone's heart, to the point that it felt like it was about to burst.

Director Zhou is really too fierce, isn't he?

It's one thing that "Instant Universe" was such a hit in China, but it also became a global phenomenon.

It climbed to number 8 on the global box office chart!

Good heavens, 8th in the world, that's absolutely terrifying.

It's so incredible that it's hard to believe.

Is this really an achievement that a film directed and starring Chinese actors can attain?

I can't even imagine it.

Can you believe that Director Zhou's "Instant Universe" actually surpasses more than 99% of all films in history?

In the entire history of global cinema, only 7 films rank above "Instant Universe".

This is just too outrageous!
What's even more outrageous?
Director Chow has made not just one, but two films of the caliber of "Instant Universe".

Barbie's global box office was only tens of millions less than that of The Instant.

It's ranked 10th on the global film charts!

That means Director Chow has two films in the top 10 of the global film rankings!
Good guy.

This caused everyone to gasp in shock.

It wasn't just the Chinese entertainment industry; Hollywood was the same, and they were all severely provoked by Zhou Qing.

With Zhou Qing's achievements, he could easily sweep aside all directors in Hollywood.

Among all the top directors in Hollywood, only a truck driver can rival Director Zhou.

With two Avatar films and one Titanic, the other director became the only one with three films in the top ten.

As for the other directors, they only have one film on the list.

Two directors made the list, with only one being Zhou Qing.

This demonstrates just how impressive Zhou Qing's box office performance is.

There is only one truck driver who can outrun Zhou Qing.

All the other top Hollywood directors, without exception, are no good.

However, when it comes to combining business and art, truck drivers really can't compare to Zhou Qing.

The truck driver only won one Academy Award for Best Director, but Zhou Qing won three, including one for Best Picture.

It also launched the career of Gong Li, a film queen.

What about the other three major awards?
There were no truck drivers at all, but Zhou Qing managed to clear all three levels.

Considering all these achievements, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Zhou Qing is the most outstanding director in the world.

That's why Zhou Qing was so impressed even by people in Hollywood.

If Zhou Qing's previous film, "Barbie," was enough to make her a legend, then this film, "Instant Universe," makes her divine status shine even brighter.

It dazzled the whole world! (End of Chapter)
