America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 121: For the sake of the essay (Leader plus 14)

The Saturn Awards have not yet ended, and at least twenty well-known entertainment bloggers have announced that Hollywood rising star Martin Davis won the Best Young Actor.

In addition to the praise, Martin's resume was also highlighted.

Born in the slums and achieving success through hard work is not only not outdated these days, but can also resonate with ordinary people.

These bloggers also forwarded Martin's blog address.

Backstage at the Saturn Awards, Martin held the Saturn Awards trophy and began to take action.

Bruce followed behind, a digital camera in hand.

Martin saw Uma Thurman, who had just won the Best Actress Award, and immediately approached her, using the Saturn Award trophy as a guide, and said, "Ms. Thurman, I'm a fan of Kill Bill. I especially like your confrontation with Ishii Goren. Can we take a photo together?"

Seeing the trophy in Martin's hand and remembering the dance just now, Uma Thurman said, "No problem."

The two stood together and asked Bruce to help take a photo.

After taking the photo, Uma Thurman also said: "I just became your fan, that dance is amazing."

Martin said rather exaggeratedly: "Wow, I actually have a big-name fan like Uma Thurman. It's over. I can't sleep tonight! No, I can't sleep this week because I'm so excited."

Everyone likes to hear flattery, especially when it is said in this way. Uma Thurman chatted with Martin for a while.

After Martin left, he found that Frodo, who won the Best Actor award, went backstage and immediately turned into a die-hard fan of "The Lord of the Rings" and took a photo with Elijah Wood.

Then we found Jennifer Connelly who returned backstage as the award presenter.

This Oscar winner was stunningly beautiful in the 1980s, but now he's as muscular as Bruce Lee. Maybe he took some medication recently, so his face looks a little stiff.

Martin still looked like he had met a goddess, and continued to use the Saturn Award trophy as a stepping stone to coax Jennifer Connelly into happily taking a photo with him.

When no one was around, Bruce asked quietly, "Will these work?"

Martin said softly, “I consulted specifically and put it on the blog. There is no problem.”

Bruce reminded: "Quentin is here."

"Kill Bill" won the best action thriller. The ugly Quentin came in with a smile, looking for his muse Uma Thurman.

Martin stopped Quentin halfway. Perhaps perverts have common topics. The two of them seriously discussed which movie had the most beautiful heroine's feet, and then took a photo with their arms around each other's shoulders.

Before Quentin left, he said to Martin, "Dude, you're very much my cup of tea. Let's go out for a drink together someday."

Martin exchanged contact information with him again.

Bruce and the others left, saying, "I feel like he's more perverted than me."

Martin lowered his voice: "You two perverts together can handle a woman. The ass is yours and the feet are his."

With the trophy in hand and the beautiful words, Martin took photos with Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale and Keanu Reeves.

Even Peter Jackson and Martin got a chance to take a photo.

Isn’t the key to success just to rub it in?

There are so many places where an inconspicuous Saturn Award for Best Newcomer can be used.

After the award ceremony, Bruce took out the camera memory card and gave it to Thomas.

Thomas quickly left the Avalon Theater and went to a nearby room that he had booked in advance, opened his laptop, and logged into Martin's blog.

I posted the short essay about my winning journey that I had prepared in advance, and also uploaded various photos that Bruce had taken tonight.

Especially Martin holding the Saturn Award trophy and taking photos with famous stars and directors.

Thomas also notified the major entertainment bloggers he had cooperated with and asked them to repost Martin's blog.

Many people were diverted here.

There's more to Martin's blog than just that.

And some photos with Elisha Cuthbert.

Video of practicing the zombie machine gun dance.

The final makeup photos of "House of Wax" and so on.

Before, most of the hundreds of people who followed Martin’s blog came from Eliza.

As soon as these blog posts were published, the number of followers of Martin's blog quickly exceeded 1.

At the same time, editors of many entertainment newspapers and magazines were also looking at the pictures and writing various short essays about Martin.

The sponsorship that we have finally obtained must be spent appropriately.

Media reports on celebrities’ comments are similar to film reviews and are also a business.

After attending the official party, Martin, like most people, left Avalon and returned to Los Angeles.

Halfway through, he called Louise and said, "Drunkard, are you still awake? I won the grand prize, and you won't celebrate for me?"

Louise replied, "I'll wait for you to come over."

Martin drove to Sherman Oaks and entered Louise's villa.

Louise was sitting at the bar in the living room waiting for him.

Martin took the trophy and sat down opposite her. He placed the trophy in front of Louise: "Best Young Actor Award." Louise poured two glasses of wine, gave one to Martin, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Martin said seriously, "I can't get it without you."

Louise smiled and said to Martin without any politeness: "How do you want to thank me?"

Martin took off his dress coat, threw it on the sofa, put his hand on his belt, and said, "Return the favor with my body."

Louise drank a glass of wine and opened her arms: "Carry me upstairs."

Martin picked her up and went upstairs to the bedroom.

The next morning, Martin went to the swimming pool on the first floor to swim a few laps, took a shower and came out to have breakfast. The housekeeper Mary brought a pile of newspapers into the dining room.

Louise said, "I asked Mary to buy it specifically."

Martin took it and flipped through it, saying, "There are a lot of reports about me."

The front-page headline of American Rumor was a report on last night's Saturn Awards ceremony, and Martin's name was on the list of winners.

The third page at the back, with text and pictures, specifically introduces the best new actor Martin Davis.

Similar reports have appeared in many entertainment gossip newspapers.

Louise asked, "It cost a lot of money, didn't it? Your savings are enough."

Martin said shamelessly: "That's why I'm looking for a rich woman to support me." He paused for a moment and said: "I got a sponsorship from the Beast House Club, which fully sponsored my expenses for this awards ceremony."

Louise couldn't help but laugh: "You came to Los Angeles to develop a new business, but you didn't give up your base in Atlanta."

"This is called being able to attack when advancing and defend when retreating." Martin put the newspaper aside and prepared to enjoy breakfast.

The reports purchased in the entertainment gossip newspapers were all short essays based on the topics provided by Thomas, and the content did not differ much.

Louise handed over a copy of The Hollywood Reporter and said, "You actually have a die-hard fan. A woman was interviewed last night and said a lot of good things about you."

Martin took it and quickly read through it. The person being interviewed was Rachel. She focused on the last fan meeting and what happened on the red carpet this time.

"This is not something I bought." He took a look at the page, which was relatively far back. "The Hollywood Reporter, a top newspaper in the industry, charges too much. One copy is worth the price of ten other copies, but its sales volume is not as good as the sum of any three other copies."

The sales of many toilet newspapers are not bad, especially among ordinary people.

Louise said, "I looked at your blog and there are quite a few people following it."

Martin ate his breakfast quickly: "I'll use your computer for a while."

After breakfast, he took a laptop and checked the information on the Internet. The number of followers of his blog exceeded 30,000 overnight.

There are more short essays on the Internet.

Then there is his performance at the awards ceremony last night, which appeared on multiple websites and forums, and the number of clicks seemed to be quite high.

Several of the film forums are pinned in red.

Martin searched his name on a search engine and a bunch of related entries came out, mainly "Zombie Gigolo", "Saturn Awards" and "Zombie Machine Gun Dance".

In addition, he saw a special piece of information on the IMDB website.

The official website of this film information website has officially added Martin Davis' actor entry, IMDB ID nm0451313.
Martin opened it and saw the avatar column was clearly taken from the Saturn Awards ceremony, with three entries listed below his performances.

Starring in Ma Zhenxi's "People from the City".

"Zombie Dancing Man".

And House of Wax.

The latter status is Unpublished.

Martin, who had previously done voiceovers for post-production, asked Louise, “Has the release date for House of Wax been set?”

Louise said, "The traditional horror movie release season is October." She thought for a moment and said specifically, "The investors behind Paris Hilton and I want to recoup our investment as soon as possible, so we put pressure on Warner Bros."

Martin asked, “When were they originally going to release it?”

"Next year," Louise said casually. "Big companies have their own drawbacks. They have many projects under their umbrella, so it's hard to schedule them."

She winked at Martin: "I specifically asked Warner Bros. to release it early for you."

Martin thought of Alexander the Great: "Where's your epic?"

Louise frowned slightly. "December is a prime time, but I don't feel very good. Troy, the epic movie starring Brad Pitt, was released at the beginning of the month. Its first-week box office was far below Warner Bros.' expectations."

She waved her hand. "Why am I telling you this? You're not at the level where you need to care about this. Martin, urge your agent. Now that you've won an important acting award, you're eligible to ask the agency to invest more resources."

"Thomas is doing it." Martin asked, "I trust you more than the agent. What resources do you think the agency can allocate to me?"

Louise reminded him, "Don't think about getting promoted overnight. You won the Saturn Award for Best Young Actor, not the Oscar for Performance."

She thought for a moment and said, "Normally, if you are a supporting actor in a film made for around $2000 million, or a leading actor in a film made for less than $ million, no matter what kind of supporting role it is, you should take it if the opportunity is right. The success of the film is an important qualification, and the failure mainly lies with the leading actor."

Martin grasped the connection between her words: "A movie with the lead actor should be treated with caution?"

Louise nodded. "That's right. No matter what the film company or distributor does, if a film fails, the director and the leading actor and actress are always the first responsible parties. You just wanted to show up and mess up your first movie as the leading actor. You can imagine the consequences without me telling you."
