Chapter 698: The giants face off
Red carpet presenter Jenny Ford excitedly said to the camera, "Wow...... We can see that this is really the biggest event of the year in the film industry, and we once again salute all the wonderful films and actors participating in this year~ We can see that there are a lot of filmmakers from different countries at this year's conference, from Israel, from Japan, from Spain, and from China, all of whom will compete for this year's Golden Man Award. [No pop-up novel network]
And this year, 43 TV stations in the world also broadcast the electricity live~~ The power in the movie is radiating to the world. ~”
In this "fashion road to the Oscars", the world-class superstars who attracted the cheers of fans around the world shined brightly on the red carpet, making fans around the world look excited.
At this time, the big hit for the finalists appeared, and British director Danny Boyle led the 12 Indian-American actors of "Slumdog Millionaire" to appear, and the momentum was huge.
"Wow...... They are really a big team, these Indian guys are the strongest contenders for the major awards tonight, and in previous interviews with major film critics, everyone is very optimistic that "Slumdog Millionaire" will win Best Director and Best Picture two awards............ They are undoubtedly one of the biggest favorites tonight. ”
Host Jenny Ford was also very excited to take the microphone and ask Danny Boyle: "Danny, welcome to Hollywood, welcome to the Oscars......"
"It's really nice to have so many people from the crew here...... It's really good~ We created this movie like a family. Danny Boyle looked agitated and slurred his words.
"Wow~This is really a big team~" Jenny Ford looked at the twelve Indian actors with a smile and sighed:
"Danny, how many statuettes do you think you'll be able to take this time? You know that you are the big hit this year, but you have to face a lot of strong competition, do you think you will be the movie that won the most statuettes this time? Or who are you most optimistic about? ”
"It's hard to say." Danny shook his head again and again: "I don't know if I can win the award or not, but I think "The Undertaker" is a very good movie...... It's also my favorite this time. ”
But before Danny Boyle finished speaking, the host Jenny Ford cut off the conversation, and for fans around the world who watched the live broadcast, they only heard Danny say the name "The Undertaker", and he didn't even say it clearly...... The camera pans to something else.
Only the Chinese fans who care about this movie the most have found out, and they can't help but be angry, and some people have begun to scold on the Internet.
"What's going on with this host!? As soon as "The Undertaker" was mentioned, it was interrupted. ”
"How do I think it's intentional?"
"It won't be deliberate, it should be someone from the crew of "Rejuvenation"."
At this time, although mainland fans were dissatisfied, they didn't notice anything too abnormal, because at this time, the most popular group of people did come to the Avenue of Stars.
At the same time as the interview with "Slumdog Millionaire", the scene suddenly burst into the loudest applause and screams, and finally the highlight came, the crew of "Rejuvenation", which was shortlisted for thirteen awards, entered, David Fincher, a cool director with sunglasses, and Brad Pitt, the darling of Hollywood, got out of an elongated BMW.
The reporters who were still around the Indian crew of "Slumdog Millionaire" just now turned to the other side, and as soon as the crew of the biggest hit "Rejuvenation" entered, there was a frenzy on the scene, and the flashing lights and cheers were overwhelming.
The Indian crew of "Slumdog Millionaire" also looked a little embarrassed and quietly left quickly.
Jenny Ford, the host of the Avenue of Stars, was also extremely excited to hold the microphone and said:
"Okay~ Fans all over the United States, you should have been waiting for a long time, we are talking about them, David Fincher and Brad Pitt, the coolest director and actor duo in Hollywood, are here~ Ms. Cate Blanchett is also amazingly beautiful tonight, they are the biggest favorites in this Osaka, "Rejuvenation" has received an astonishing thirteen nominations~ Listen to the screams, I believe these screams are a compliment to the best actors and directors in the United States~"
Compared with "Slumdog Millionaire", which was shortlisted for ten nominations, "Rejuvenation", a pure American crew, is obviously more loved by the audience.
Under the salute of countless flashing lights, the director and actor of the "Rejuvenation" crew walked to the interview area with a smile after passing through the area where the reporters took pictures, and Jenny Ford took the microphone and asked excitedly:
"David~ Hi ~ Hello ~ Do you know ~ You are simply amazing ~ Pete, you are too, you are very handsome in the film, especially when you are 20 years old, really~ I almost beat out my heart when I saw that shot of you~ You guys are simply amazing, do you have anything to say at this moment?"
"Thank you, those are just stunts, they have nothing to do with the director's skills, of course Pete is really cool, we all know this, and it is by no means the credit of stunts." David Fincher humorously said:
"So you're going to ask me how I feel, and my feeling is that we probably shouldn't have gone home empty-handed tonight, don't you say? Of course, it is not excluded that the judges are jealous of us, let us go home with bare butts~ If there are more female judges, I believe that we should take at least 10 little gold statuettes this time, don't you say, Pete? ”
"No, David, I'm sure all male filmmakers in America love your genre, and it's up to you this time." Brad Pitt next to him immediately responded humorously, which also made everyone laugh.
"Rejuvenation" is jointly produced and distributed by Paramount and Warner, and this Oscar broadcast is contracted by Warner's N to produce live broadcasts, and then transferred to national wireless TV stations such as ABC, so for their own movies, the shots are naturally the most.
The interview session on the Walk of Fame alone lasted for fifteen minutes, compared to the ten finalists, but "Slumdog Millionaires", produced and released by Twentieth Century Fox, was much worse.
This is the rule of Hollywood, the artistic category of filmmakers, everyone respects each other, but when it comes to business, the way of treatment is very different, and large companies will only use all kinds of ways to build momentum for their star works.
To put it bluntly this time, the Oscars are fighting between the two major companies, Twentieth Century Fox's "Slumdog Millionaire", and the head-to-head competition with Warner's release "Rejuvenation", and the others are inconsequential supporting roles.
This time, Warnaton N contracted the live broadcast of the awards, and of course will focus on its own "Rejuvenation".
When the crew of "Rejuvenation" was still on the red carpet, they suddenly heard a scream and uproar at the scene, and nearly 10,000 Chinese fans at the scene suddenly shouted: "Gu Xiaofan is here!" "Brother Xiao Fan is here~!"
No one expected that in the fierce competition between the two major film and television groups in the United States tonight, an unexpected spoiler came......
