America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 119 First time

On Avalon Island, a large number of vehicles crowded the coastal road leading to the Avalon Theater. Dozens of actors or stars were sitting in the cars, just like Martin, waiting for the moment to walk on the red carpet in front of the theater.

Bruce drove the car and moved forward slowly.

A few hundred meters away, the shouts of movie fans could be heard one after another.

There was no movement in front of him again, so Bruce simply said, "It seems to be as loud as the Oscars I saw."

Thomas, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said: "The nominees for the Saturn Awards are mostly commercial films that sold well last year. High box office means a wide audience, and if the audience likes the film, there will naturally be many people who support it."

Martin kept thinking: "How can I attract attention? It's so frustrating."

Thomas said: "Tonight there are big stars like Keanu Reeves, Johnny Depp, Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman. You still need to think more about the stage performance."

Martin can face the reality: "The gap in status is too big."

Thomas told him a more sad fact: "You are not a celebrity now."

Martin was hit hard.

Bruce wants to avenge what happened a few days ago: "Man, show your most perverted side, and you will be the brightest star tonight."

Martin pulled his clothes back and said, "I want to be a civilized person."

The car was moving extremely slowly. There was only one road leading to the Avalon Theater, so those who were not famous enough would have to wait.

Martin was so bored that he started to think of a bad idea: "How about I fall down while walking on the red carpet?"

Before Thomas could answer, Bruce said, "You're a man, not a cripple. Everyone will laugh at you."

Thomas saw that Martin was trying to stir up trouble to attract attention, so he advised him, "You don't have the capital to do anything rash right now. If you want to increase your exposure, you can walk slower on the red carpet and say more during the interview."

Martin nodded. Men are much weaker than women on the red carpet. Sophie Marceau showed her breasts several times, and Scarlett Johansson may have found a male reporter...

As for revealing, transparent, and protruding, there is no need to say more, they are all for women only.

There is inequality between men and women!

Royce, a reporter from the gossip daily American Rumor, stood behind a tripod and specialized in capturing the moment when celebrities got out of the car.

With his many years of experience in the industry, he has accumulated rich experience in shooting. He is particularly good at choosing angles and can always capture those special moments when stars get off the car.

For example, actresses wearing high-slit skirts are most likely to show their underwear when getting out of the car.

Royce just captured with his camera that Lindsay Lohan was not wearing any underwear under her high-slit dress.

A black Audi stopped in front of the red carpet. As soon as the door opened, Royce's camera followed it and found that it was a man. He was inevitably disappointed.

As soon as the person came down, he was slightly surprised. Who is this person? He is more handsome than the young Keanu Reeves and the late River Phoenix.

And unlike Depp and River, who look feminine, the light shining on his face makes it seem as if it is shining brightly.

Martin got out of the car, stood still, and waved to the surroundings.

The fans around had already been excited by the big stars before, and they cheered at this time.

The cross-mounted live TV cameras were facing the red carpet.

It was Martin’s first real red carpet and he wanted to leave more memories.

As the Audi drove away, he waved to the reporters who were taking pictures.

Royce couldn't help but ask, "Who is he?"

The female reporter next to her recalled carefully that there was no such person among all the famous people: "I don't know."

Another online reporter realized: "Does Elisha Cuthbert know? Her ex-boyfriend."

Royce suddenly realized: "The twin brother who broke up with me after walking the red carpet once."

Reporters were all around taking pictures, "The Girl Next Door" had a good response among teenagers, and the heroine's ex-boyfriend had some news value.

The Audi drove away, and the car behind it gradually approached. The sand sculpture next to it was still waving everywhere, so the staff had to quietly remind him: "Sir, the car behind is coming, you should move forward."

"Thank you." Martin seemed to have just realized: "It's my first time, I was too nervous."

The staff saw that he was young and unfamiliar, and thought it was understandable. They quickly comforted him by saying, "Just walk a few more times and it will be fine."

Martin smiled and said, "Thank you for your encouragement."

After a few brief words, Martin stayed in front of the live TV camera for another 5 seconds before walking slowly onto the red carpet.

His speed is not very slow, much faster than the tortoise who wins the running championship every day.

Sadly, none of the fans on either side held up his name tag or the zombie gigolo poster.

The red carpet was only a few dozen meters long, and no matter how long Martin delayed, the people behind him would not be able to catch up.

As they gradually approached the theater entrance, a girl in the crowd on one side of the red carpet suddenly pushed forward: "Make way, please give me some space. My supporters are coming." She finally squeezed to the front, held up a DVD poster from a disc store, and shouted: "Martin! Martin Davis!"

Among the many posters of stars, a picture of a male dancer suddenly appeared, and Martin quickly noticed it.

There were hundreds of people at the scene, and finally I saw someone who supported him.

Martin, this heartless bastard, was actually a little touched.

He found a reason to continue rubbing his hands, so he strode over and found that the woman holding up the poster looked very familiar, and he remembered her after a little recollection.

When the woman saw Martin coming, she was extremely excited: "Martin, over here! I'm here!"

Martin went over and greeted with a smile: "Rachel, I didn't expect to see you here."

Seeing that the other party remembered her name, Rachel's eyes turned red: "I saw you nominated on the news, so I came here."

Martin opened his arms and hugged her gently: "Thank you! And thank you for your encouragement! Do you remember the greeting you wrote to me?"

He realized he had forgotten, so he quickly said, "Your encouragement helped me get through the most difficult period for an actor."

Rachel was so moved that she cried, "Martin, I will always support you!"

Martin opened his arms and hugged her gently: "Let's work hard together."

The two separated and Rachel took out her phone: "Can we take a picture together?"

Martin called to the young man next to him: "Handsome guy, help me take a photo."

The words sounded nice, and the man took Rachel's phone and took a photo of Martin and Rachel.

When Martin returned to the red carpet, he was overtaken by the actors behind him.

He walked forward without any embarrassment.

In the media area, the live broadcaster Warner TV will have a brief interview with the nominees.

When the female host Sunny saw someone coming over, she realized she didn't recognize him, so she immediately looked at the assistant nearby. The assistant reminded her through the headset: "Martin Davis, who was nominated for Best Young Actor, is starring in the horror film "Zombie Gigolo."

When Martin entered the media area and took photos in front of the sponsor's advertising board, Sunny went over to say hello: "Hi, Martin, is this a dream night for you?"

Martin had done his homework: "Good evening, Sunny. Walking on the red carpet of the Saturn Awards has been my dream since I was a child. When I watched Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Freddy, I was sure I wanted to take this path."

Sunny nodded frequently, preparing to end the routine interview. Time should not be wasted on unknown actors.

Martin knew that he had no power because of his low status. If the other party was not prepared to ask questions, he would take the initiative to create questions. The extra second he could be in front of the camera might mean an extra shot in the live TV broadcast.

His follow-up was especially timely: "Sorry, Sunny, I came a little late because I met the only fan who supported me on the red carpet. She means a lot to me and I must thank her."

Sunny lost control in this short moment and could only ask, "What happened between her and you?"

"At an event for 'Zombie Gigolo', I faced fans and the media and was at a loss as to what to do..." Martin talked incessantly about what happened and mentioned several people's names.

Sunny thought, are you really at a loss when facing the media? What's the matter now? But Martin's suggestion of asking fans for autographs and writing congratulatory messages was fresh to her, a well-informed entertainment reporter, and she couldn't help but ask another question.

When Martin finished speaking, she realized that the interview, which was originally scheduled for one minute, had already passed nearly four minutes.

The live signal was transmitted to the TV station, and the director shouted: "This interview is quite interesting. The lead actor asked fans for autographs. He really knows how to have fun. Play the whole interview."

Since the Super Bowl nude incident at the beginning of the year, all live broadcasts across the United States have been delayed by ten seconds, so that directors can make more choices.

Among the people watching the live broadcast in front of the TV were those who attended the fan meeting last year.

In the bar, Rick said to a few friends: "See, this is Martin. He asked me for an autograph last year. Did you hear him? He mentioned my name!"

Several friends clinked their glasses together: "This guy is great."

"Have another drink. It's my treat tonight!" Rick said, "His movies are good too. I suggest you look for the disc of Zombie Dancing Boy."

There are also many people discussing this in the film forum.

A leading actor attributed his success to the encouragement of his fans. Even fans he didn't know had a better impression of him.

Soon, someone captured the video of Martin's interview and posted it on the Internet, attracting a lot of attention.

In Clayton Community, Elena went to work, and Lily and Hall sat in the living room watching the live broadcast on TV.

The latter said: "He is still as shameless as ever."

Lily punched Hall on the head: "This is called not forgetting the original intention and not forgetting the people who helped him!"

Hall turned his head and looked at Lily: "There's something wrong with you!"

"Because I'm smarter than you." Lily said disdainfully, "And you're so stupid that you can only dig holes!"

She clenched her fist: "Martin will definitely win the prize tonight."
