In terms of commercial films at the box office, British filmmakers may not be good at it, but once they want to elevate the film to the height of art, in all aspects, British filmmakers' long-term cultural accumulation has almost given them an absolute advantage, and they are the real nobles with noble blood in world cinema......

Even the British lad on the streets of the United States, who speaks with a London accent, is the favorite of young American girls...... If Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon are as obsessed with movie superstars as they are in the minds of movie fans, then Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale are more like fairytale princes, which can inspire a natural sense of reverence in the hearts of fans.

The reporters surrounded the crew of "Deadly Magic", 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 Christopher Nolan, who is known as "a talented British director in 20 years".

"Nolan~~ Please comment, what are your expectations for the achievements of British filmmakers at the Oscars this year? How many awards do you think you will win from the UK's six nominations? "Journalists threw up a customary predictive question.

"I don't know, this should be something that the academy judges are worried about." Christopher Nolan replied calmly and lightly, even Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale, who came to the platform purely behind him, did not have any intention of speaking, they just kept smiling in a low-key manner, such a British gentleman's style made the fans who were used to the high-profile shouting style of filmmakers fall in love with it, and let out another scream.

"Last year, the film made by a Chinese director beat the monopoly of British filmmakers in Hollywood for the first time, and this year's film "Iron Man" directed by Li Xiaole from China won five nominations, plus one of "Full of Golden Armor", which equaled the number of nominations from British filmmakers in this industry, and many fans are shouting that the Oscars have ushered in a Chinese storm, and British filmmakers have fallen behind......" A British journalist from the BBC asked curiously:

"Director Zolan, who do you think will win more film awards this year, British filmmakers or Chinese filmmakers? Has the era of Chinese filmmakers in Hollywood arrived? ”

Since the founding of Hollywood, apart from American filmmakers, the only filmmakers from other countries who have been able to establish themselves in this world film kingdom for a long time are the United Kingdom.

Before that, even when Hong Kong films dominated Asia during the golden age, they never got the slightest status at the Oscars, and could only be willing to play third-rate roles, except for some films involving Chinese themes, there were few works by Chinese directors at the Oscars.

Since entering the 90s, with the emergence of several major Chinese directors, Chinese filmmakers have caught up with each other and begun to emerge at the Oscars, such as Zhang Yimou's "Ju Dou", "The Red Lantern Hangs High", Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine", Ang Lee's "Eating Men and Women", "The Wedding Banquet", and Pingfan was nominated for the Oscar Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

What really surprised the Oscars for Chinese film talent was the appearance of Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" after 2000, which was a sensational Chinese film with 10 nominations!! And won 4 technical awards, which shook the whole Hollywood.

The appearance of "Brokeback Mountain", which won eight Oscar nominations last year, made Chinese filmmakers even more proud, and finally Ang Lee won the best director, becoming the first Asian director in history to win this award, and Chinese filmmakers have a faint momentum of competition with British filmmakers in Hollywood.

And this year's Li Xiaole made a comeback with the blockbuster "Iron Man" that swept the global box office, which makes people have to compare the filmmakers of the two countries, especially Li Xiaole and Nolan, two cutting-edge genius directors, Mars hit the earth.

One of them is China's most successful commercial director who has created a grassroots legend, and the other is a "once-in-twenty-year film genius" among the British film aristocracy who was born with pure blood. "Iron Man" received five nominations, and "Deadly Magic" received three nominations, respectively, as the most representative figures of Chinese and British cinema.

In addition to the fateful showdown between the two legendary American directors Martin Sicorsese and Clint Eastwood, Li Xiaole and Christopher Nolan, two different cultures, the head-to-head showdown between the new generation of Chinese and British directors at the Oscars is also very exciting.

Far away in England, at the moment countless British movie fans are also tuning in to watch the live broadcast of the Oscars, in a live text chat room on the UK's largest web portal, FreeServe, hosted by the famous and authoritative film critic Jensen? Solomons commented:

"The most eye-catching of the shortlisted films this year is undoubtedly Martin Scorsese vs. Clint Eastwood, but I think the British audience will be more concerned about the comparison between Chinese and British filmmakers, last year Joe White's "Pride and Prejudice" suffered the defeat of Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain", and this year the situation has changed.

Although "Iron Man" was shortlisted for Best Director, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Visual Effects, Best Art Direction, Best Supporting Actor...... But there is not much hope of winning the award, and winning the best director is absolutely impossible...... Compared to the Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects, and Best Cinematography nominated for "Deadly Magic", it is very promising.

In terms of Best Actor and Best Actress, Helen Mirren ("The Queen") and Peter O'Toole ("The End of Eros") are not small, and with the addition of Shacha Baron Cohen ("Borat") for Best Screenplay, no matter how you look at it, the British filmmaker's chances of defeating the storm in China are very ......"

In the British movie fans, the text comment below is loudly supporting "Nolan is a god~!" Li Xiaole is nothing more than a businessman who can only make money! Don't insult Nolan. "Without an artist of Ang Lee's level, how could the English be overwhelmed by the Chinese?" "I bet that Britain will win 6:0 this time~!"

At the moment in Manchester's pub casino, many people are also betting on the betting network, betting that the British filmmaker can beat the Chinese at the Oscars this time, and the William Hill bookmaker opened a handicap of 1:4, and the British filmmaker occupies an absolute advantage, and the reference evaluation given is:

"Helen Mirren is not a strong opponent, and the possibility of winning Best Actress is very high, the key is whether "Deadly Magic" can beat "Iron Man" in one of the best art direction and best visual effects, and the two Chinese works overlap in the best costumes......"

In Jensen? At the time of Solomons' comment, a poll was also being conducted on the website in real time, and the question of this poll was: "I think this Oscar, who will get more awards for the films made by British filmmakers and mainland filmmakers." ”

The survey, which was conducted almost entirely by British netizens, was conducted by 91.2 out of 51,290 votes: "British cinema will regain its glory this year and become the big winner of the Oscars." Less than 10 percent of the people left chosen: "Chinese directors will continue to create the miracle of Ang Lee last year, British cinema has long since declined." ”

In the mainland, there are also countless fans who are paying attention to this Oscar award at this moment, and major websites are also live streaming this Oscar ceremony.

There's an interesting scene on camera at the moment, where Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon of the popular "The Departed" are being interviewed piecemeal, while looking with some envy at the much-anticipated British gang of "Deadly Magic" not far away.

The British Gang has already overtime for flashing lights and interviews, but none of the reporters and fans complained, just wished they could stay longer, and at this time, suddenly, there was a huge scream almost like a tsunami on the sidelines, and even those anti-war people who had been holding placards shouted excitedly, many people thought about the direction of the red carpet, and the security guards at the scene hurriedly stepped forward to block the siege wall, and the atmosphere of the entire venue reached an unprecedented ****~~

Even the British gentlemen of "Deadly Magic" couldn't help but look surprised, thinking to themselves what was wrong? Who the hell is coming? Just look at Scarlett showing a bright smile on the side, Li Xiaole, who stepped off the Porsche car in a straight suit, appeared energetically, followed by the new Iron Man Tom Cruise with a charming smile, and the legendary action superstar Sylvester Stallone, California Rose Gwyneth Paltrow, it is the crew of "Iron Man" who is here~!!

This is the first time that other crews have appeared on the Oscar red carpet, and the popularity instantly overwhelms the British gang of movie aristocrats.

"Oh~~ That's "Iron Man" is coming~~ Li Xiaole is coming~~" Jane Carr, who is known as "Martin Sicorsese's die-hard fan", immediately dropped the interview of "The Departed" at this time and rushed to the other end of the red carpet.

At this time, Scarlett, who was in the British gang, was even more impatient to walk in front of Li Xiaole and have a veneer salute with him, and the intimate behavior of this pair of gossip men and women immediately attracted countless flashing lights and bursts of loud screams.

"How? Do you think I'm important now? All the focus is on us. Scarlett chuckled in Li Xiaole's ear.

Li Xiaole noticed that the direction of the camera was facing his face, and he also knew that there would be a lip reading expert to crack their conversation afterwards, so he didn't dare to make much noise, but nodded to the fans with a smile.

At this time, Christopher Nolan also came over unexpectedly, shook hands with Li Xiaole affectionately, and smiled a little apologetically: "Lee, the people at Warner regret our cooperation very much, maybe things will change...... sincere apology shows the frank demeanor of an English gentleman.

"Mr. Nolan, I understand, I'm really sorry to have you caught in the middle......" Li Xiaole also smiled at his childhood idol, he was very excited, he didn't expect to meet the great Christopher Nolan on such a day, or as a competitor, this feeling is simply wonderful.

At this moment, the gathering of the two Chinese and British talents who will lead the trend of Hollywood in the future almost made all reporters and fans feel indescribable excitement, and Li Xiaole and Christopher Nolan, Martin Sico Seth, Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio, Hugh Jackman all these people appear in one shot, and it is destined to become an eternal classic moment on the Oscars.

This star-studded awards ceremony officially kicked off...... The fateful duel between the two legendary directors of the United States, and the proud collision of Chinese and British filmmakers, exude dazzling light......
