American fame and fortune

In the Davis Manor, Elizabeth Olsen, who was dressed up and radiant, dragged her black skirt, came to Martin, and pinned the fist sign in her hand to his left collar.

Martin was wearing a Brioni haute couture suit, a Cartier men's watch on his wrist, and a Coke-shaped leader's crown on his right collar. He put down the Nokia N98 mobile phone in his hand, opened the jewelry box in front of him, and took out a custom-made set of seven flawless rubies. The necklace was made and put on Elizabeth's neck.

Elizabeth looked surprised, brushed her hand over the necklace composed of platinum, diamonds and rubies, and smiled sweetly: "I like this gift."

Martin asked: "I have a good taste, right?"

Elizabeth stood in front of the full-length mirror and admired it carefully, and said, "It's so beautiful."

Martin stood a little further away, admiring it and said, "People are more beautiful."

Elizabeth smiled even sweeter.

Martin picked up another fist sign and pinned it to her chest.

Elizabeth said: "I don't want to be a feminist, I just want to be your saint forever."

"As long as you want," Martin said.

"Ahem..." Bruce, who came in from the door, reminded: "It's time to go."

Martin picked up the Nokia mobile phone and led Elizabeth out to get into the car. The car was naturally a Cadillac.

Sponsors not only provide sponsorship fees every year, but also spend resources to help him compete for nominations and awards. Of course, Martin has to work hard to support others.

The Cadillac flagship car drove out of the estate and headed straight to the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.

Elizabeth remembered something: "No news from Chanel No. 5?"

Martin nodded slightly: "Last year, Toni Fairman caused a paternity test incident. The French side took the initiative to cut off contact with Thomas. They have not yet contacted Thomas again. It depends on their attitude on this matter."

"How are Toni and Stuart?" Elizabeth asked.

Martin paid little attention.

Bruce continued: "The situation is a bit complicated. Stuart Townsend, on the advice of his lawyer, is now suing Toni Fairman for stealing his genetic material. This case is expected to take a long time."

Martin sincerely wished: "May these two be entangled forever."

"Are you a curse or a blessing?" Elizabeth asked with a smile and changed the topic: "Some time ago, Louise introduced Irene Lauder to me, and the latter planned to make me a beauty spokesperson."

Martin said: "If your sister's brand does not do beauty products, you can give it a try."

Elizabeth said: "They have no plans for this at the moment."

The car quickly approached the Kodak Theater.

At this Oscars, although the red carpet was wider and longer, the dominant color was black.

Including Martin and Elizabeth, many guests on the red carpet responded to Jolie and Aniston's call and wore black dresses and pinned the Mi Rabbit fist logo on their chests.

Even the place where the members of the Coke Cult gathered turned into a sea of ​​black.

Martin drank Coke with them as usual, handled on-site interviews, and entered the Kodak Theater.

As soon as I entered, I saw Nicholson and Meryl Streep, who was also wearing a black dress, talking.

Martin led Elizabeth over and greeted the two of them. When he saw Meryl herself beaming with joy, he asked, "Meryl, has something good happened to you?"

Meryl smiled happily: "The divorce has been reached, but it will not be announced for the time being. It may be delayed for a few years."

In contrast, Nicholson looked grim.

Martin didn't need to guess why. If he didn't add insult to injury now, when would he wait? He said to Meryl: "To celebrate your return to being single, would you like me to introduce you to an excellent man? A few days ago, he told me personally that he wanted to get married again and experience the warmth of family."

Meryl said: "Okay, I'd love to meet you!"

Nicholson yelled: "Shut up!"

How could Martin give up and said: "How about Jack Nicholson, a three-time Oscar winner, the famous leader of the Face Gang, a man who can make Martin Davis and Leonardo willing to be their little brother?"

"Very good!" Meryl half-seriously asked Nicholson: "Jack, when will you propose to me?"

Nicholson's old face turned red and turned around to leave.

Meryl smiled at Martin, waved her hand, and quickly followed.

Elizabeth said: "You like to fool around too much."

Martin smiled: "I am doing good deeds and helping Jack solve his loneliness in old age."

The two entered the hall. Since "Benjamin" received 13 Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor, their seats were in the first two rows.

Martin just walked to the guest area when someone next to him said hello.

Blake Lively stood up in a black dress and said, "Hi, Martin."

Elizabeth glanced at her and whispered to Martin: "I'll go over first and you guys can talk."

Martin nodded, and after she left, he held his seat and said, "Long time no see."

Blake said softly: "I'm too busy with work, on set, in promotions, running around, it's endless."

"I watched "Gossip Girl."" There was no sharp conflict between the two. Martin sincerely praised: "Queen S is awesome."

Black said: "It was you who gave me confidence back then."

The two also had a sweet time living together. Martin recalled going from "Summer of Jeans" to Burbank Middle School, and then looked at Blake in front of him and was silent for a moment.

Blake felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he took the initiative and said, "When are you free someday, let's come out and drink coffee together?" She then patted her head and said, "Look at me, you like tea."

Martin did not respond, but asked: "I recently heard the news that Warner and DC are preparing to produce the superhero film "Green Lantern". It is said that you are interested in competing for the heroine?"

Black said directly: "There will be a third audition soon, but the competition is also very strong. Diane Kruger and Eva Green are both interested in competing for this role."

Martin thought for a while, and considering the past relationship, he thought it would be better to just say it directly: "Blake, I don't think you are suitable for this role."

"What do you mean..." After all, you know my depth and I know your strengths and weaknesses. Blake immediately understood the meaning of Martin's words: "The prospects of this film are not good?"

This film almost completely shattered Black's rise as a movie star. Even though he later appeared in some movies, he was more of an internet celebrity than a movie star who relied on his works to speak for himself.

Martin looked around and whispered: "Personally, the current leaders of Warner are a group of Japanese people, which doesn't give me a very good feeling."

Blake lowered her head and thought. She knew Martin well and knew that he would never talk nonsense at work.

"That's all for you." Martin was about to leave: "I'll contact you when you have time."

"I won't mention it to anyone," Black 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 and Martin talk about?"

Black said: "We talked about the past. Although he and I didn't have much contact, there was no conflict when we separated."

"Do you want me to discuss it with Thomas and tie you two together to make some news?" Both of them belong to WMA, and their agent is also familiar with Thomas: "Your high exposure will help you compete for the heroine of "Green Lantern". "

Black decided to follow Martin's advice, saying, "I'm going to quit auditioning for this movie."

The agent was stunned and asked quickly: "Why? Blake, do you know how much work I have done to win the role? You can't be so willful!"

Blake said: "I have decided!"

"You disrespect my work results and your father's efforts during this time!" The agent was very angry: "You should think about it carefully."

Blake shook his head directly: "No need."

The agent was filled with anger and didn't know who to attack, so he picked up his bag and left directly.

In the front row seat, Elizabeth saw Martin coming back and ended the conversation with Kathleen Kennedy and asked, "How was the conversation?"

Martin told the truth: "I persuaded her to give up a role."

Elizabeth stopped asking this question: "We have thirteen nominations, so we should be able to win a lot of awards, right?"

Nearby, Kathleen Kennedy and David Finch all shook their heads and sighed. The situation was not optimistic.

David Fincher glanced at the Mi Rabbit logo on his collar and said, "You don't have to think about the best director. This Oscar is going to make history."

"There's not much hope for best picture," said Kathleen Kennedy.

Martin encouraged morale: "At least we have achieved a good harvest commercially, and the film has done well at the box office."

Thanks to 13 Oscar nominations, "Benjamin" has rebounded in theater attendance in North America after the nominees' luncheon. The current North American box office has accumulated US$189 million and the global box office has reached US$368 million.

When the Oscars are over, no matter how many awards you win, there will still be a small rebound.

Several people discussed for a while who might be the biggest winner tonight, and then the awards ceremony kicked off.

Because of the Harvey Weinstein case that engulfed Hollywood and even North America last year, this year's Oscars has a strong Mickey Mouse plot, and the host is Helen from Warner TV.

At the end of her opening sequence, Meryl Streep came on stage and sang "ME TOO."

Taking down Harvey Weinstein has become politically correct for the entire Hollywood industry.

After all, even the academy expelled Harvey.

Martin left his seat at this time and went backstage through the side door. As last year's Best Supporting Actor winner, he will be the presenter of the Best Supporting Actress award today.

This is also the first award given today.

After Martin took the stage, he said a series of words as usual, read out the list of nominations, opened the envelope and announced the results: "The winner is Comonena Monique for "Precious".

Amidst the applause of the audience, the fat black woman walked onto the stage with her skirt held up, took the statuette from Martin, and after giving her usual thanks, said a lot of anti-racial discrimination words.

Of course, black people's anti-racial discrimination is only against discrimination against black Americans.
