Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 83: A great director on par with Zhang, Chen and Feng!
After the interview, Zhou Qing took Liu Dehua and other main creators to attend the celebratory reception hosted by the organizer.

With the bonus of a Golden Bear Award, the entire crew of "Departures" became the coolest guys in the crowd.

Especially Zhou Qing, the director, was enthusiastically sought after by everyone.

"Congratulations to Director Zhou for winning the Golden Bear."

"Director Zhou, congratulations."

Many filmmakers greeted Zhou Qing enthusiastically.

Zhou Qing naturally wore a warm smile throughout the whole process, responding politely and gracefully.

Among the many international filmmakers, Zhou Qing also met some Chinese faces.

For example, the crew of Er Dongsheng’s "Forget Me Not".

Although "Forget Me Not" was not shortlisted for the main competition unit, it was screened in other screening units.

It was also nominated for the "Best" film.

Frankly speaking, it’s already pretty impressive.

"Director Zhou."

"Director Er."

Zhou Qing and Er Dongsheng also shook hands and exchanged a few simple greetings.

"I watched "Departures". Director Zhou's control over the rhythm and images is so perfect that I can't help myself."

"Of course, Director Zhou's scripts are better written. I still need to learn a lot."

Er Dongsheng expressed his admiration for Zhou Qing from the bottom of his heart.

It is absolutely the truth, no exaggeration.

Er Dongsheng went to see "Departures" during the film festival and was completely convinced.

Even more so, because he is the director, Er Dongsheng understands the power of "Departures" better than anyone else.

Er Dongsheng asked himself, if he was given the same script, he would never be able to shoot it like this.

This film absolutely deserves to win the Golden Bear Award.

"Director Er, you are too polite. We should learn from each other."

Zhou Qing just said it modestly.

"Congratulations to Director Zhou for winning the Golden Bear Award. Director Zhou, please consider me next time you make a movie."

Zhang Baizhi, who was standing next to Er Dongsheng, forced a smile at Zhou Qing at this time.

“If there’s the right role, of course.”

Although he had no such intention at all, Zhou Qing naturally gave him the face he deserved.

But to be honest, although Zhang Baizhi's reputation is not very good, his acting skills are actually quite good.

He is definitely one of those people with extremely high acting talent.

As soon as he debuted, he was nominated for the Best Newcomer at the Academy Awards for his role in Stephen Chow's "The King of Comedy".

The second film, "Wish Upon a Star", was not just nominated, but directly won the Best Newcomer Award at the Academy Awards.

So what about this movie “Unforgettable”?

This won Zhang Baizhi the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards.

This resume is actually quite good.

"Director Zhou."

Liu Qingyun also greeted Zhou Qing politely.

Zhou Qing also exchanged greetings with him.

Of course, Zhou Qing is not just a filmmaker, he is also a hot commodity in the eyes of international film producers.

From the beginning to the end of the entire cocktail party, one film producer after another kept looking for Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing chatted with a smile but did not talk in depth.

However, I have made appointments with several reliable film producers to discuss further details after the cocktail party.

Zhou Qing was busy all this until the early morning, and only then did he have time to return to the hotel to rest.

While he was sleeping, the domestic entertainment media went wild. "The pride of Chinese filmmakers, Director Zhou Qing won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival for his film "Departures"!"

"After winning the Best Director Award for 127 Hours, Director Zhou won the Golden Bear Award in one fell swoop."

"First, he won the Silver Bear with 127 Hours, and then won the Golden Bear with Funeral Director. Director Zhou is catching up with Director Zhang!"

"Another great director is born! Director Zhou Qing's "Departures" won the Golden Bear, bringing glory to Chinese-language films!"

"Departures Berlin won the Golden Bear Award, and Beijing Film Academy students Berlin once again wrote a legend!"

So exciting!

When the entire Chinese entertainment industry woke up, they were shocked by the overwhelming news.

"Departures" actually won the Golden Bear Award!
Director Zhou Qing won another award in Berlin after "127 Hours".

Or the Golden Bear Award, the highest honor!
Isn’t this a bit too amazing?

Although the media tends to praise "Departures" because of the performance of "127 Hours", everyone knows the media's style.

Seeking truth from facts is not the first principle, how to attract attention is.

Because of the foundation of "127 Hours", "Departures" is indeed the most worthy of boasting.

So everyone was blowing as hard as they could.

After all, what's the point of praising other movies?
As for whether they can really win the award?

who cares?
Let’s turn up the heat first.

But there are not many people in the entertainment industry who really believe that "Departures" can win the big prize again.

Some even think that "127 Hours" won the award just because of luck.

After all, how old is Zhou Qing?

What's more, who else can win the three major European awards one after another except Master Zhang?
No matter how talented or powerful Zhou Qing is, can he compare to Master Zhang?
In fact, there were quite a few people waiting to see Zhou Qing make a fool of himself.

However, who would have thought that Zhou Qing actually won the grand prize again.

Or the ultimate award like the Golden Bear Award!
What the hell.

This is really exciting for everyone.

Last time he at least won the Best Director award, and this time he even won the Golden Bear?

Why don’t you go to heaven?
You have to know that looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, there is only one Master Zhang who won both the Golden Bear and Silver Bear in Berlin.

Director Zhou Qing has done something that only Master Zhang can do!

"A new great director has emerged in the mainland."

"After Zhang, Chen and Feng, the mainland has produced a fourth great director."

"From now on, Director Zhou's status is on par with Zhang, Chen and Feng."

While being shocked, many people also expressed such sighs.

If "127 Hours" won the Silver Bear, it only allowed Zhou Qing to take one step towards becoming a big director.

Then, if "Departures" won the Golden Bear, Zhou Qing's position as a great director would become more secure.

Mainstream public opinion now generally believes that Zhou Qing is fully qualified to be on par with Zhang, Chen and Feng.

"Great! It's really great! 'Departures' won the Golden Bear Award!"

The class teacher, Wang Jinsong, is actually not young anymore, but he was so excited that his face flushed and even his voice rose several octaves.

Even though he kept saying that he wanted "Departures" to win the Golden Bear or something, it was just an encouragement and ambition.

Wang Jinsong certainly understood that the Golden Bear was a very high-level award and it was not so easy to win.

But classmate Zhou Qing just won it!
It’s amazing. It’s really amazing.

"Fuck, this is incredible! Zhou Qing has taken the Golden Bear again."

"Who says it's not? That's the Golden Bear, one of the three highest honors in Europe!"

"Zhou Qing can definitely match Master Zhang this time, not at all inferior."

"It's really too scary that he can be on par with Master Zhang at the age of sophomore!"

The students from the 02 Acting Department were all dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
