Chapter 736 Scene 736 Unprecedented pomp

"Wow~ This is really a big team~~" Jon Stewart looked at the twelve Indian actors with a smile and sighed: "Danny, do you think you have a chance to win Best Director and Best Picture this time?" I know that your voice is very high, but you have to face a lot of strong competition, do you think you have a chance? Or who are you more optimistic about. ”

"It's hard to say." Danny Boyle shook his head and laughed, "The only thing I'm sure of is that the guys behind me are the best, and I think they're the best compared to anyone." ”

After the interview with "Slumdog Millionaire", the scene suddenly sounded the loudest applause and screams, and finally the highlight came, the crew of "Rejuvenation", which was shortlisted for 13 awards, and "No Country for Old Men", which was shortlisted for 8 nominations, entered the theater with David Fincher, a cool director wearing sunglasses, and Brad Pitt, the darling of Hollywood, and the Coen brothers in jeans behind him got off a stretched BMW with Tommy Lee Jones, an old actor.

As soon as these two American crews entered, there was a frenzy on the scene, and the flashing lights and cheers were overwhelming.

Dressed in a blue dress, the hostess Jenny Ford also took the microphone and said excitedly:

"Okay~~ American fans across the country should have been waiting for a long time, we are talking about them, David Fincher and Brad Pitt, the most handsome director and actor partner in Hollywood, are here~~ They are the biggest favorites for the Oscars tonight, "Rejuvenation" got thirteen nominations~~ Next to the Coen brothers and Tommy Lee Jones~~ They also got 8 nominations~! Listen to the screams, I believe these screams are compliments from the best actors and directors in our native America~~"

Under the salute of countless flashing lights, the directors and actors of the crew of "Rejuvenation" and "No Country for Old Men" walked to the interview area with a smile after passing through the area where reporters took pictures, and Jenny Ford took the microphone and asked excitedly:

"David~~Hey hello~~ Do you know the way, you are simply amazing~~ Pete, you are too, you are very handsome in the film, especially when you are 20 years old, really my wife almost divorced me on the spot when she saw that shot of you~~ You guys are simply amazing, do you have anything to say at this moment?"

"Xie Lu Xie~~ Those are just stunts~~ It has nothing to do with the director's skills~~ Of course, Pete is really handsome, we all know this~~ It is by no means the credit of stunts~~" David Fincher said humorously: "So you have to ask me how I feel, my feeling is that we probably shouldn't go home empty-handed tonight, do you say?" Of course, it is not excluded that the judges will be jealous of us and let us go home with our bare butts~~ If there are many female judges, I believe that we will have a lot of awards this time, do you say it is Pete? ”

"No, David, don't say that, I think there are Johnny Depp and George Clooney this time~ You still want to say that I'm handsome, just mocking me~~~" Brad Pie next to him immediately shifted the artillery fire elsewhere, which also made everyone laugh.

"Pete, how much hope do you think David has of winning the Best Director award this year? His voice was very loud this time. Jane Carr handed the microphone to Brad Pitt, the handsome man.

"I don't know this question, you have to ask the judges of the Oscars, I only know that if you should give David according to your qualifications~~ But he told me~~ He said that if he gets the best director, he will retire and enjoy his life at home, I am really reluctant to him, from this point of view, the best director is still to the Coen brothers, so that I can still mix with David in Hollywood for a few more years." Brad Pitt joked, and also squeezed the old partner.

The Coen brothers next to him also laughed heartily, obviously thinking that this was very good in the ears, frankly speaking, the best director of this year, the most popular are the Coen brothers and Danny Boyle, David Fincher's chance is not big, which is recognized by everyone.

However, the best picture and the best actor, everyone thinks that it will be a duel between "No Country for Old Men" and "Rejuvenation", two purely American-made showdowns.

"Haluha, I don't think David and your fans think so, let's hear their opinions." Jenny Ford finished laughing, and was about to start the traditional "audience screaming and cheering" session, but before she could ask, she heard a huge sound next to her, completely drowning out the sound here.

David Fincher, Brad Pitt, the Coen brothers, and Tommy Lee Jones were all a little stunned, and when they turned their heads, they saw two groups of people getting out of the car at the same time, and the two major crews of "Life of Pi" and "The Dark Knight" actually stepped on the red carpet hand in hand~~~

A group of young film talents from different countries, such as Li Xiaole, Sula Sharma, Emma Watson, Christopher Nolan, Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, etc., immediately attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared.

This made the crews of "No Country for Old Men" and "Rejuvenation" look very embarrassed, they appeared in a team today, they wanted to be the focus of the red carpet and create momentum for their works, but they didn't expect Li Xiaole and Nolan to appear together as they thought, and completely steal their limelight......

Li Xiaole and Nolan, who were also considered rivals in the last session, have also become real friends because of Li Xiaole's dazzling performance in the British film industry, plus "The Dark Knight" and "Life of Pi" broke box office records together, and this year is also considered to be the first time that the overseas army has beaten American domestic films at the box office as a whole.

Against the backdrop of Nolan, Heath Ledger, and Bale, the three handsome British guys in black suits, Li Xiaole, a Chinese face, has a gentle and elegant oriental temperament, which complements Emma Watson in a white suit next to him.

As soon as these two overseas legions appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of most people, both male and female fans, who were obviously more attracted to them, and they all screamed wildly: "Li Xiaole, look here~~Look here~" "Nolan, I love you to death~~" These extremely high decibel screams resounded throughout the audience, completely overwhelming the popularity of the crew of the other two big hits "Rejuvenation" and "No Country for Old Men".

Many of the reporters who were originally interviewing David Fincher and Brad Pitt also quickly turned their guns and pointed their cameras in that direction......

The Coen brothers and David Fincher both looked at each other helplessly, showing a wry smile, in previous years, the British Gang was enough to attract attention, and this year with the addition of Li Xiaole, the momentum is even more unstoppable, the scene is like this, you can imagine how much fans of China and India, the two countries with the largest populations in the world, will support the movie "Life of Pi".

In contrast, the previous "Slumdog Millionaire" seemed too flattering to Hollywood, although it also used a large number of British and Indian actors, filmed in India, and dressed in the shell of Indian films, but the story is actually a pure Hollywood genre, and the outside world is classified as American films.

On the contrary, Nolan made American superheroes in the style of Shakespeare, which made "The Dark Knight" more acceptable as a British work.

In this atmosphere, everyone feels that this year's Oscars are different, this is not just a competition between works, but a battle of dignity between American films and overseas films.

You must know that last year was not a weak year for American films, on the contrary, it was a super strong year, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and "Transformers" and "Spy 3" are all considered to be the top works in terms of word-of-mouth and box office~~

But under such circumstances, "Life of Pi" and "The Dark Knight", two blockbusters with a global box office of more than one billion US dollars, were born and swept the entire Hollywood.

This has given American filmmakers a huge sense of crisis, is Hollywood really going to be overrun by international filmmakers? In this sense of crisis, this year's Oscars also seem to have become their most unscrupulous backline.

The reporters surrounded the crew of "Youth Pi" and "The Dark Knight", and after a long photo shoot, until the staff reminded them, the reporters put down the camera in their hands, held the microphone like the stars holding the moon, and handed it to Li Xiaole and Nolan, the two "billion" directors.

"Director Nolan and Director Li~~ Can you please comment on your expectations for the achievements of overseas filmmakers at the Oscars this year? With a total of 20 nominations, plus seven for "Atonement," and 27 nominations for the Overseas Legion this year, do you think you'll get more awards at this ceremony than American films? Journalists were interested in asking the question.

"Are there 27?" Li Xiaole pursed his lips and said to Nolan next to him with a smile: "It turns out that there are so many." "Three Commonwealth-themed films, this year is gaining momentum.

"It's not much." Nolan shook his head calmly: ""Rejuvenation", "No Country for Old Men" and "Blood is Coming" add up to 29 nominations. The reporters were very cunning, and Xiang seduced Nolan to get carried away, not mentioning that American filmmakers are also extremely strong this time, and the sophisticated Nolan will certainly not be fooled.

is different from Nolan's low-key, Li Xiaole, who has always been free and easy, smiled at the camera very calmly, took the microphone and said: "Oh, it's just two nominations away, then I think we have a good chance to win more awards." ”

Li Xiaole's words immediately caused a scream and uproar at the scene, and the fans and reporters at the scene had never seen any guest on the red carpet so flamboyant.

At this time, the crew of "Rejuvenation" and "No Country for Old Men" were still on the red carpet, David Fincher and the Coen brothers looked back at this side, and Li Xiaole and Nolan also nodded as if they were nodding in greeting, and everyone seemed to feel the sparks splashing at the intersection of the eyes of the four of them~~!

Whether it was the people at the scene, or the fans who were still sitting in front of the TV and seeing the camera, they all shouted in their hearts: "This Oscar~~ is really exciting~~~~!! ”
