American fame and fortune

Davis Estate, Beverly Hills.

After selecting a few bottles of good wine from the wine cellar, Martin returned to the living room and found that Leonardo, Nicholson, Saoirse Ronan and others were gone.

He saw Elizabeth coming out of the kitchen and asked, "Where are they?"

Elizabeth pointed outside: "Everyone has gone to the yard."

Martin took her and came out of the villa together, and found that everyone was at the Fountain Square.

It was getting dark and lights were on in the square.

Leonardo picked up a pipe with a handle and pointed it at the sky at an angle of 45 degrees.

Nicholson flicked his cigar, lit a special firework bomb, stuffed it into the tube, patted Leonardo's head at the same time, and shouted: "Let it go!"

Martin was anxious and shouted: "Don't set off fireworks! Don't set off..."

With a bang, a spark flew up into the sky with a tail flame, and exploded, causing the sky to be filled with fiery trees and silver flowers.

Martin scratched his head. These two bastards actually set off fireworks at halftime to celebrate!

Saoirse saw Martin and Elizabeth and shouted: "Teacher, Liz, come over and set off the fireworks together."

Elizabeth noticed that the people around her had stopped, and her hands were as heavy as a cow.

Nicholson shouted: "Martin, don't stop me. Leo and I just want to figure out one thing. Will the halftime celebration really lead to losing the game?"

"One more shot! Keep going!" Leonardo shouted: "Martin, let's give it a try. The worst we can do is let Jack give you an Oscar. He has three."

Martin spread his hands: "After causing harm to outsiders and harming our own people, you are indeed the two biggest bastards in Hollywood!"

Nicholson lit another firework bomb, which Leonardo sent into the sky and exploded, lighting up half the sky.

Martin was too lazy to care anymore and took Elizabeth back: "Let's prepare dinner."

Elizabeth smiled and comforted him: "Leo and Jack did a lot this time, we must let them celebrate."

"Don't worry about them," Martin said.

At this nominees luncheon, the crew of "The Martian" gained a lot, winning Best Art Direction, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Effects, Best Visual Effects, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor, Eight nominations including Best Director and Best Picture.

For Best Director, Ridley Scott made it clear that he would give up subsequent public relations promotions.

The crew and Disney Pictures have reached an agreement that the first goal is Martin's best actor.

After successfully eliminating Matt Damon through the bad competition, Martin almost stands out among the nominations.

The next thing to do is to prevent upsets.

…………

It only took one night for Matt Damon to fully accept the fact that he would bid farewell to this Oscars early.

Without a nomination, his efforts would be in vain.

The bad things he did in the past finally cost him something.

But Matt Damon has never regretted it. If he hadn't done these bad things, he wouldn't be where he is today.

The agent came over early in the morning to visit Matt Damon.

Entering the living room, he said: "Steven Soderbergh is preparing to shoot a biographical film about the pianist "Libras". You have collaborated with him many times. If you are interested, you can ask Soderbergh. Over there, I believe he will not reject you."

Matt Damon knows that biopics are easy to win awards. He has always had a good relationship with Soderbergh and said: "I will call Steven later."

The agent was worried that he would always be entangled in this matter, and specifically said: "Oscars happen every year, but this time it won't work. Let's fight for the next one. There is no need to struggle with the first one, and there is no need to struggle with Martin Davis." clear."

Matt Damon remained silent, with an honest look on his face, and seemed to have listened.

The agent looked at his watch and picked up his bag: "I'm leaving first. If you need anything, call me. You should have a good rest first."

"Wait a minute." Matt Damon finally couldn't hold it back and called out to his agent, saying, "Keep in touch with the media and expose all the black material we prepared about Martin Davis."

The agent couldn't help but shake his head, what kind of dirty information is that? Throwing rave parties, hooking up with the neighbor's fiancée, and having sex with many supermodels, what do these mean to a Hollywood star?

He said: "It's useless. It won't hurt Martin Davis. It may even make him more attractive. This is Hollywood, not Washington."

Matt Damon said: "I didn't get the nomination. Now Martin Davis is the favorite. If we can drag him back a little bit, we can't get it, and he can't get it easily."

Facing a client of Matt Damon's level, the agent couldn't refuse: "Okay, I'll try my best."

When the first negative news appeared, Matt Damon didn't even think about it and directly assumed it was related to Martin Davis.

It's not that he didn't think about fighting back, but after many investigations, he couldn't find a point to fight back.

This bastard hasn't had sex with anyone under 18, hasn't forced himself on other women, doesn't do tax evasion, etc.

He usually looks like a top bastard in the industry, but in fact his bottom line is higher than most people in Hollywood.

Matt Damon got in his car, left his mansion and went to the state prison.

Today is scheduled visitation day.

Matt Damon met his former good friend Ben Affleck. Seeing him looking thin, haggard and restless, he suddenly felt that he was really lucky not to be involved by Harvey and the Affleck brothers.

In the past, Matt Damon himself has lost count of how many bad things he has done to please Harvey Weinstein.

In the past two years, the situation in Hollywood has changed dramatically.

Big guys like Harvey were sent in.

After coming out of the state prison, Matt Damon got into the car and sat in silence for half an hour.

He picked up the phone and dialed his agent's number: "It's me. Forget about all the things I said this morning. It's no longer necessary. Let's keep our strength and wait for the next opportunity, the next awards season."

“A very smart decision,” the agent said.

Matt Damon hung up the phone, started the car, and when he drove out of the parking lot, he looked back at the state prison. He didn't want to end up there.

During this Oscar PR, Matt Damon saw one thing clearly. Regardless of money and power, or fame and status, he and Martin Davis are no longer on the same level.

That is to say, he has a little more brains than Ben, applies pressure only and does not do anything illegal.

…………

On a sunny afternoon, Elizabeth Olsen woke up in a daze and touched her side. Martin was not there.

There was a faint sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Elizabeth was too tired to move, and was confused for a while. She took a yacht advertising album, flipped through two pages, and threw it aside.

Although getting a yacht named Elizabeth is very attractive, after careful consideration these days, she feels that the usage rate of the yacht is too low. She can temporarily retreat and it is better to buy a private business jet.

Whether it's her, Lily, or Martin, they take too many flights every year.

Elizabeth pulled a cushion over and rested her chin on it, feeling lazy all over. She couldn't help but think of the idea that came up last time.

Lily has a very good relationship with her, and they basically lived here when they were in Los Angeles.

And Lily complained more than once.

The bathroom door opened, and Martin looked at his phone. There were messages from Chad and Marcus on it. He said to Elizabeth: "I'm going out."

Elizabeth nodded.

After Martin changed clothes and went out, she took out her mobile phone and dialed Lily's number: "When will you come back? It's nothing important. I'm fine here. I'm calling you. I just want to tell you that I've prepared something for you." A surprise, I also want to give Martin a surprise.”

"Surprise? It's not a shock, right?" Lily felt that Elizabeth had evil intentions: "It sounds like you are plotting against me!"

Elizabeth said: "Of course it's a surprise. My family doesn't lie to my family."

Lily has also been paying attention to entertainment news recently: "Before the Oscars, I have to go back and congratulate that bastard for winning the Best Actor."

Elizabeth cautions: “Don’t pop the champagne at halftime.”

Lily responded: "I understand."

Martin left Beverly Hills and came to the El Capitan Theater in the Hollywood area.

The place has been decorated and prepared for the premiere.

Martin got off the car and entered the theater. Marcus, Chad and Chen Hu were all here, as well as the distribution producers of Disney Pictures.

Marcus personally set up the display rack and placed the promotional materials for "Lone Survivor".

This very politically correct film is about to be released.

Taking into account the characters and Mark Wahlberg's possible changes, the film was postponed to be released in January.

Martin is an investor in the film, and Disney Pictures cooperates with him, so of course he has the final say.

Marcus stood in front of the booth and said, "It's finally going to be released."

Martin patted his thick shoulder: "The pre-sale situation is very good. This movie will definitely make people remember what you have done."

The fat on Marcus's double chin trembled a few times and he said, "I invited their family members to come over."

Martin basically doesn't care about these little things now. Emily and Jessica are enough to handle the daily management of Davis Studio.

After chatting about "Lone Survivor", Chad came over to find Martin: "Whenever you have time, go to the Angel Club. We have designed some new action routines."

Martin asked directly: "Can I do it?"

Chad smiled: "It's somewhat difficult."

Martin said casually: "You won't let me fly into space and hit satellites, right?"

"How is that possible?" Chad said: "It just adds some close combat combined with pistol shooting. After all, what we are shooting is an action movie, not a science fiction movie."

Martin followed them to visit the layout of the premiere theater and made sure there were no problems. Then he invited Chad, Chen Hu and Marcus to wash their faces together and talk about the preparations for "John Wick 3".

When we are refreshed and refreshed, we talk about creation, and our creative ideas flow out like a fountain.
