America gains both fame and fortune
Chapter 580: Professional Attack
Chapter 580: Professional Attack
At Davis Manor, Elizabeth Olsen, dressed in gorgeous attire and glamorous with a black skirt, came up to Martin and pinned the fist symbol in her hand on his left collar.
Martin was wearing a Brioni Haute Couture suit, a Cartier men's watch on his wrist, and a Coke-shaped crown on the right side of his collar. He put down his Nokia N98 phone, opened the jewelry box in front of him, took out a custom-made necklace made of seven flawless rubies, and put it around Elizabeth's neck.
Elizabeth showed surprise on her face. She brushed her hand over the necklace made of platinum, diamonds and rubies and smiled sweetly: "I like this gift."
Martin asked, "I have good taste, don't I?"
Elizabeth stood in front of the dressing mirror and admired it carefully. She said, "It's so beautiful."
Martin stood a little further away, admiring and saying, "People are even more beautiful."
Elizabeth smiled even sweeter.
Martin picked up another fist symbol and pinned it to her chest.
Elizabeth said: "I don't want to do feminism, I just want to be your saint forever."
Martin said, "If you want."
"Ahem..." Bruce came in from the door and reminded, "It's time to set off."
Martin picked up his Nokia phone, took Elizabeth out and got in the car, which was naturally a Cadillac.
Sponsors not only pay sponsorship fees every year, but also provide resources to help him win nominations and awards. Of course, Martin has to work hard to promote them.
The Cadillac flagship drove out of the manor and headed straight for the Hollywood Kodak Theater.
Elizabeth remembered something: "No news from Chanel No. 5?"
Martin nodded slightly. "Last year, Toni Fairman had a paternity test incident. France took the initiative to cut off contact with Thomas. So far, they have not contacted Thomas again. Let's see their attitude on this matter."
"How are Toni and Stuart?" Elizabeth asked.
Martin paid little attention.
Bruce continued, "The situation is a bit complicated. On the advice of his lawyer, Stuart Townsend is now counter-accusing Toni Fairman of stealing his genetic material. This case is expected to take a long time."
Martin sincerely wishes: "May these two stay together forever."
"Is this a curse or a blessing?" Elizabeth asked with a smile, and changed the subject: "Some time ago, Louise introduced Irene Lauder to me, and she wanted me to be the beauty spokesperson."
Martin said: "If your sisters' brands don't do beauty products, you can try it."
Elizabeth said: "They have no plans in this regard for the time being."
The car soon approached the Kodak Theater.
Although the red carpet at this year's Academy Awards was wider and longer, the mainstream color was black.
Including Martin and Elizabeth, many guests walking on the red carpet responded to Jolie and Aniston's call, wearing black dresses and pinning the Meitu fist logo on their chests.
Even the place where the members of the Cola Cult gathered turned into a black ocean.
Martin had his routine Coke with them, dealt with live interviews, and entered the Kodak Theater.
As soon as I walked in, I saw Nicholson talking to Meryl Streep, who was also wearing a black dress.
Martin led Elizabeth over and greeted the two. Seeing Meryl beaming with joy, he asked, "Meryl, did something good happen?"
Meryl smiled happily: "We have reached an agreement on the divorce, but it will not be announced for the time being. It may take a few years."
Nicholson, by contrast, looked gloomy.
Martin knew why. If not now, then when? He said to Meryl, "Celebrating your singleness, would you like me to introduce you to a good man? He told me a few days ago that he wanted to get married again and experience the warmth of a family."
Meryl said, "Sure, I'd love to meet you!"
Nicholson shouted angrily: "Shut up!"
How could Martin give up? He said, "Jack Nicholson, three-time Oscar winner, the famous leader of the Face Gang, a man who can make Martin Davis and Leonardo willingly be his younger brother, how about that?"
"Great!" Meryl asked Nicholson half-seriously, "Jack, when will you propose to me?"
Nicholson's face turned red and he turned and left.
Meryl smiled and waved at Martin, then quickly followed.
Elizabeth said, "You are too fond of fooling around."
Martin smiled and said, "I am doing a good deed and helping Jack solve his loneliness in old age."
The two entered the hall and sat in the first two rows because "Benjamin" received 13 Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.
Martin had just walked into the guest area when someone greeted him.
Blake Lively stood up in a black dress: "Hi, Martin."
Elizabeth glanced at her and whispered to Martin, “I’ll go over first, you two chat.”
Martin nodded, and after she left, he held onto his seat and said, “Long time no see.”
Blake said softly, "I'm too busy with work, filming, promotion, running around, it's endless." "I watched Gossip Girl." There was no sharp conflict between the two. Martin praised sincerely, "Queen S is great."
Blake said: "You gave me confidence back then."
The two also had a sweet time living together. Martin thought about the time from "The Summer of Jeans" to Burbank High School, then looked at Blake in front of him and was silent for a moment.
Blake felt the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he took the initiative to say, "When do you have time, let's go out for coffee together?" She then patted her head and said, "Look at me, you like tea."
Martin did not respond, but asked: "I recently heard that Warner and DC are planning to shoot the superhero film Green Lantern. I heard that you are interested in competing for the leading actress?"
Black said directly: "The third audition will be held soon, but the competition is also very strong. Diane Kruger and Eva Green are both interested in competing for this role."
Martin thought about it for a moment, and for the sake of their past friendship, he decided to just say it directly: "Blake, I don't think you're suitable for this role."
"You mean..." After all, Blake knows me well, and he immediately understood what Martin meant: "Is the film not going to have a good future?"
This movie almost completely shattered Black's path to becoming a movie star. Even though he appeared in some movies later, he was more like an internet celebrity rather than a movie star who relied on his works to speak for himself.
Martin looked around and whispered, "My personal feeling is that Warner is now led by a group of Japanese people, which doesn't give me a good feeling."
Blake lowered her head and thought. She knew Martin very well and knew that he would never talk nonsense when it came to work.
"That's all for you." Martin was about to leave: "We'll contact each other when we have time."
"I won't tell anyone," Blake promised.
Martin nodded to her and went to the front seat.
Blake returned to his seat.
The agent came over and asked, "What did you talk about with Martin?"
Blake said: "We talked about the past. Although he and I don't keep in touch much, we didn't have any conflicts when we broke up."
"Do you want me to talk to Thomas about it and tie you two together to create some news?" The two of them belong to WMA, and the agent is also familiar with Thomas: "You have high exposure, which is good for competing for the female lead of Green Lantern."
Black decided to follow Martin's advice and said, "I'm pulling out of auditioning for this film."
The agent was stunned and asked quickly, "Why? Blake, do you know how much work I did to get the role? You can't be so willful!"
Blake said, "I've decided!"
"You are disrespecting my work and your father's efforts!" The agent was very angry: "Think about it carefully."
Blake shook his head directly: "No need."
The agent was so angry that he didn't know who to vent his anger on, so he picked up his bag and left.
In the front row, Elizabeth saw Martin come back and finish his conversation with Kathleen Kennedy. She asked, "How was the conversation?"
Martin told the truth: "I persuaded her to give up a role."
Elizabeth stopped asking: "We have thirteen nominations, so we should be able to win quite a few awards, right?"
Kathleen Kennedy and David Fincher, who were nearby, both shook their heads and sighed. The situation was not optimistic.
David Fincher glanced at the MeToo logo on his collar and said, "Forget about the Best Director award. This Oscar is going to make history."
Kathleen Kennedy said: "Best Picture is not a big hope."
Martin encouraged the morale: "At least we have achieved commercial success and the film is doing well at the box office."
Thanks to 13 Oscar nominations, "Benjamin" rebounded in North American theater attendance after the nominees luncheon. It currently has a cumulative North American box office of $1.89 million and a global box office of $3.68 million.
After the Oscars are over, no matter how many awards they win, there will still be a small rebound.
A few people discussed for a while who might be the biggest winner tonight, and then the award ceremony began.
Because of the Harvey Weinstein case that swept across Hollywood and even North America last year, this year's Oscars had a strong Meet-the-Duff plot, and the host was Helen from Warner TV.
At the end of her opening speech, Meryl Streep came on stage and sang the song "ME TOO".
Toppling Harvey Weinstein has become the political correctness of the entire Hollywood industry.
After all, even the college expelled Harvey.
Martin then left his seat and went backstage through the side door. As last year's Best Supporting Actor winner, he would serve as the Best Supporting Actress award presenter today.
This is also the first award presented today.
After Martin came on stage, he made a routine speech, read out the list of nominees, opened the envelope and announced the result: "The winner is Cormonina Mo'nick for Precious.
Amidst the applause of the audience, a fat black woman walked onto the stage holding up the hem of her skirt, took the golden statue from Martin, and after the routine thanks, she said a lot of anti-racism words.
Of course, black people’s anti-racial discrimination is only against discrimination against black Americans.
