"It's time to award the best director~~!!" The news spread around the world in a variety of ways such as the Internet, phone calls, and shouting, and viewers across the United States quickly converged on ABC channels, and the number of viewers skyrocketed! All the people who care about Li Xiaole have once again entered a state of tension! The children and many of Li Xiaole's female fans were screaming incessantly.

Last year, Li Xiaole just entered the threshold of the Oscars, although he was shortlisted, but not many people are optimistic about him, but this time it is different, although there is little hope, but it is definitely more than one in ten chances, if he wins the award is a real big upset, maybe the miracle will continue~~!?

Hundreds of millions of human beings are paying attention, and some online forums, chat rooms and other places have been swiped by Li Xiaole's fans and Li Xiaole's black users: "Support Li Xiaole!" Support Li Xiaole! "It must be Li Xiaole!! "Li Xiaole will go back crying, it's not him! "Support Li Xiaole!! ”……

The five popular candidates are on Rotten Tomatoes, the Coen brothers' "No Country for Old Men" has 91% fresh public film reviews, 85% well-known film reviews, and 89% audience like;

David Fincher's "Rejuvenation" is 86%, 91%, and 87% respectively.

Joe White's "Atonement" popular film review 84%. , well-known 84%, audience likes 87%.

Paul Thomas Anderson's "Blood Is Coming" is 86%, 84%, 85%.

If this is the comparison, Danny Boyle's "Slumdog Millionaire" and Li Xiaole's "Life of Pi" are tied for the highest number at 92%. , 92% well-known, 92% liked by the audience...... Far better than any other work.

But in fact, it is not so simple, Nolan's "The Dark Knight", which was not selected, also has an astonishing score, surpassing the 6 films shortlisted, but the best director is selected for the world described by the director in addition to the actors, story, and music...... That is, the so-called "fate" and "life" that Fred told Li Xiaole are a kind of mysterious and mysterious things.

Therefore, the evaluation of ordinary audiences and even those film critics has no reference value at all in this award......

And on the official website of Hollywood, the famous entertainment website Hollywood. com On the website, four specially invited TV directors Bowen, Caderet, Hugrande and Johnson made their respective award predictions yesterday.

Bervin chose the Coen brothers, supporting the award on the grounds that "every actor performed impecbly in it and the film was well organized", and opposed the award on the grounds that "the subject matter was too gloomy".

Cadrete chose David Fincher because "this wonderful film that reflects on life, and it's all about best director", and the objection is that "the whole film is too bland, there is nothing surprising about it." ”

Both Hugrande and Johnson chose Joe White because "British directors have shown what they are best at and most captivating period dramas, and people can't help but love it" and "he deserves this award for taking care of the actors, the scenes, and everything". The reason for opposing the award is that it is "somewhat similar to Pride and Prejudice." ”

Neither of them chose "Life of Pi" nor "Slums" Obviously, on such a special day as the 80th Oscars, they don't think that this award should be given to an Indian film, even if "Slumdog Millionaire" is completely Hollywood model.

When it comes to Li Xiaole, the four editors all used the same sentence to evaluate: "He is still too young, and he will have many opportunities in the future." ”

In the "Best Director" award, which is the most valuable talent, not only Li Xiaole's Chinese nationality, but even his age has become an obstacle.

You must know that this award is selected by the Directors Guild of the United States, and most of the members of the Directors Guild are "old guys" who are 50 years old and upward, and they are already "very young" in their early 40s. It is not an easy task for them to willingly award it to a 26-year-old junior.

Although John Singleton was nominated for best director in 1991 at the age of 24, "Boys in the Neighborhood" was uncompetitive at the time, and it was a sensation just as a foil, as was Li Xiaole, who met Martin Sicorsese last year.

This year is completely different, and everyone is starting to seriously think about whether to award this award to Li Xiaole...... In contrast, it seems that it is more logical to award this award to the Coen brothers and David Fincher, the "old geniuses" of the United States.

In a thunderous round of applause, the guest in charge of the awards, James Cameron, the director who holds the global box office champion for a single film, walked out of the side of the stage, wearing a black suit, white shirt, black tie, and holding an envelope in his hand.

James Cameron looked down and smiled in a low voice, "Sorry, I think you all should be surprised, you must be thinking 'Hey, how did this cocky bastard end up here?'" Didn't he never come to present the awards? ’”

The audience immediately burst into laughter, since James Cameron won the Oscar for Best Director in 97 and announced loudly in front of the live camera: "I am the king of the world", most filmmakers have hated this megalomania, James Cameron has also received countless criticisms, and has since disappeared from people's sight.

The Oscar organizing committee invited him many times, but he didn't come, everyone didn't know what he had done in the past ten years, everyone was very curious, what kind of wind was blowing today, blowing this movie madman~~?

"Yes, I didn't want to come either." James Cameron laughed, then looked down and laughed self-deprecatingly: "But they told me that there are two movies this year that broke the North American box office record of "Titanic", and I am no longer the 'king of the world'...... So, I decided to take a look, to see who was the person who kicked me off the throne of the 'King of the World'. ”

At this time, everyone was laughing, and the TV broadcast camera quickly swept Li Xiaole and Christopher Nolan, only to see that they were all smiling.

James Cameron also turned his head to the camera, looked at the close-up of the two and waved: "Hello~~~ Guys who kicked my ass~~"

The guests in the audience suddenly burst into laughter, and James Cameron put away his smile and said seriously and affectionately:

"Whether you are the king of the world or nobody, all filmmakers are part of the texture of film, the images in our films come from the light that is projected on us when the projector plays the first film, and movies inspire everyone, whether you are sitting in the theater or working in front of and behind the scenes, while we are proud of our nominees, please don't forget the people who came before us and continue to inspire ourselves to excel when we succeed......"

The big screen began to show the classic moments of those who have won the best director award in the last 79 years, George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, Spielberg, James Cameron, Peter. Jackson......

These great directors, each of them had gray hair and sighed a lot when they won this award, showing how difficult it was to get this award......

"This year's 6 nominees are the Coen brothers, "No Country for Old Men" ......"

In the warm applause of "woohoo", the TV camera rotated between the big screen of the stage, the nominee and James Cameron, and the very nonsensical Coen brothers were seen smiling and waving their fists;

"Paul Thomas Anderson's 'Blood Is Coming.'" There was another loud round of applause, and the bearded Paul Thomas Anderson nodded to the camera, not too happy, and even he seemed to understand...... He's just a supporting character tonight.

"David Fincher, "Rejuvenation", the voice with a higher decibel level sounded, David Fincher in a suit and tie smiled so much that he showed a row of upper teeth, and Brad Pitt and others next to him laughed and shouted cheeringly, and the audience burst into the warmest applause.

"Danny Boyle, Slumdog Millionaire." Before Cameron finished speaking, the same applause continued, and a group of Indian actors smiled excitedly and raised their palms to the camera. "Joe White, 'Atonement.'" The hall burst into applause and cheers, and Joe White, who was handsome and had long hair similar to that of a rock singer, glanced at the broadcast camera with a smile, which was very flattering.

At this time, Lei Ting, who was late in the audience, had just walked to her position.

"I'm sorry, I just finished dealing with the strike plan of the screenwriters' union in the company just now, and it's not over yet." Lei Ting looked tired and asked Li Xiaole, who was stiff at the moment.

Li Xiaole didn't say anything, but just held her hand tightly for the first time, made a "shhh

"Li Xiaole, "Life of Pi" ~~~~"

The high applause just now continued, and there were more laughter and noises, and many people around him stood up, Li Xiaole couldn't hear what those people were shouting, but he just held Lei Ting's hand tightly to feel at ease, and he was also thinking about the shadow of another bright girl at the same time, the first three people of the Black Pearl Company that night, the dream he had imagined that day, unfolded in front of his eyes at this moment~~

"......" Li Xiaole's mind seemed to stop for a moment, and his heart seemed to be projecting the bits and pieces of his past 7 years, when he woke up, he woke up in the toilet of Dankook University, in the cramped and dilapidated office of Zhongying, the running Sedek in southern Taiwan, and his confession with Ha Ji Won in the classroom, Apple's research room...... And the big screen of the movie theater that flashed countless times, and the beams of light carried him through countless pictures to come here......

looked at Tom Cruise, Emma Watson, Sura Sharma and Sfreder from the crew next to him who were laughing or applauding next to him......

He seemed to only hear the "rustling" sound of the film projection, and he couldn't hear what they were shouting, only a smile on his face...... and his parents who are definitely watching TV now, those good brothers and friends, family and lovers, and fans who support him......
