American Fame and Fortune Chapter 896

Chapter 896 The second Oscar winner

On the last weekend of February 2016, the 88th Academy Awards ceremony kicked off.

This year, the public relations period is much more lively than before, and the turmoil caused by black people and diversity has affected the United States.

In front of the Dolby Theater, the number of movie fans and media reporters has increased significantly compared with the previous session.

In the media area, Martin, who came alone, was being interviewed.

“In the predictions of all major media, you are the most popular candidate for Best Actor.” David Gru, a reporter from ABC, asked: “Are you confident about winning the award?”

Martin smiled: "The Oscar is a fair competition award. Everyone who is nominated has a chance to win. I hope the goddess of luck will favor me."

Someone else entered the media area later.

Martin did not stay long and went directly into the Dolby Theater.

Meine came from the side and said hello: "Boss."

Martin looked him over for a moment and said, "You look a lot stronger."

Mene said: "In the past year, I was tortured by Chad, Tiger and Marcus to shoot "New York Continental Hotel", which was more physically and mentally demanding than dealing with Emma and Celine at the same time."

Bruce, who was following Martin, said: "Why do I listen to your complaints so much that you show off?"

"Do you have it? Do I have it?" Menei's showing off seemed to be unintentional: "Old Bu, look at my face and my hands. The injuries I suffered during the filming haven't healed yet! Stop hurting my fragile heart. …”

Chad, Chen Hu and Marcus came over from the bathroom.

The former said: "Martin, Boo, you didn't see that Celine and Emma came to visit the crew at the same time. We originally thought that Mene was destined to die, but Mene resolved the crisis with just her words."

Marcus, who has a big belly, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Mene is really a role model for men."

Chen Hu also said: "If I had the ability of Mei Nei, I would have retired long ago."

Several people laughed.

Martin went over and hugged the three of them one by one.

Chad, Mene, Chen Hu and Marcus will all be on stage as award guests tonight, which is also a kind of promotion for "New York Continental Hotel".

This spin-off movie of the "John Wick" series ended all filming in January and has now entered post-production. It is expected to be released in North America in July.

As the absolute protagonist of the new film, Mene suffered a lot during filming.

Martin asked: “Are there any follow-up plans?”

Chad simply said: "If the commercial response of "New York Continental Hotel" meets expectations, we can split into two paths. One is to continue filming the sequel, and the other is to play Sophia, the manager of the Casablanca Continental Hotel, played by Blake Lively. The two-part crossover production, wait a few years and you can play Jonathan again, and then all three characters will appear together.”

Martin nodded: "There are some ways like "Avengers"."

“By drawing on their plans, our view of the world can expand further,” Chad said.

Martin was reassured by Chad: "It's up to you to do the details. Remember to give me a complete plan."

Chad has not considered leaving the series, saying: "I'm making detailed plans."

The group of people entered the lobby of the Dolby Theater while chatting.

Martin was in the front row and soon separated from them. A man came to sit in the second row.

I don't know if it was an intentional arrangement by the award ceremony directors, but his seat was right next to Leonardo and Nicholson.

The two **** haven't come over yet.

As soon as Martin sat down, Jennifer Aniston in the back row came over and asked in a low voice: "My progress is going very well, how is your side?"

Martin turned around and also lowered his voice: "Dear, you will know the result in three hours."

Aniston shrugged: "Hopefully we can all learn something."

Her eyes turned to the row of seats across the aisle.

Over there, the main creative staff of the "Focus" crew are basically here.

For the Best Picture award, "Moonlight" and "Gathering" are the biggest favorites.

Other nominated films, such as "Bridge of Spies", "Split" and "Room", are obviously shortlisted.

There were not many people from the "Split" crew. David Fincher had already said goodbye to the Oscars and naturally had no interest in attending the awards ceremony.

Other than Martin's Best Actor, only Jonathan Nolan received a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Leonardo and Nicholson came from outside one after another and sat on the seats next to Martin.

Martin glanced at Leonardo and said, "Congratulations, Leo, you have successfully lost weight."

Leonardo said: "The role of "The Revenant" is really torturous. Do you know? I lost ten pounds!"

Nicholson flicked Leonardo's deflated belly: "You can win back true love if you lose weight."

When it comes to true love, Leonardo became slightly depressed and whispered: "They have a very good relationship, and I don't want to be a spoiler."

Martin patted Leonardo on the shoulder: "Gisele will divorce Tom Brady. I heard from several friends in the fashion industry that Gisele is already very dissatisfied with Tom Brady."

Leonardo was surprised and asked: "Why?"

Martin rambled casually: "Because what Tom Brady loves most is football, and then family."

Leonardo blinked: "Really?"

"Whether it's true or false, it's of no use to you." Nicholson told a **** fact: "Even if Gisele divorced Tom Brady, she would not choose you, Leo. Still the idiot who can only stand aside and cheer for Giselle and others. "

Leonardo was dissatisfied: "Why can I only shout "Come on?" I like Gisele!"

Martin gave the ultimate answer: "Giselle wants marriage. Are you willing to marry Giselle?"

He deliberately pushed back: "Leo, I can guarantee you that as long as you are willing to marry Gisele and take her to Las Vegas to register now, Gisele will divorce Tom Brady immediately."

These words brought Leonardo back to reality: "Why should I marry Gisele..."

Martin asked: “Do you hate Tom Brady?”

Leonardo nodded slightly.

Nicholson took over: "This way you can sleep with Tom Brady's wife and beat Tom Brady's children."

Leonardo was first speechless by the singing of these two bastards, and then found a counterattack point: "I'm not Martin, I only like other people's wives."

Martin gave him the **** under the seat.

Leonardo quickly changed the subject and asked Nicholson: "Are you the guest of honor today?"

Nicholson shook his head: "No."

"I didn't receive an invitation either." Leonardo looked at Martin and said deliberately: "Man, if the Academy doesn't invite the two of us to be the Best Actor award presenters, your third Oscar will be on the line." Martin snorted coldly and said: "Because the academy is afraid that you are an ignorant guy who can't even understand the simplest arithmetic problem about the number of statuettes!"

The music started playing, and black comedian Chris Rock took to the big stage as the host of this year's Oscars.

The cast of "Split" only had two nominations, both in the middle and late stages of the awards ceremony.

Although Chris Rock tried his best to liven up the atmosphere, Martin quickly fell asleep. After all, he, the person who voted, had never seen most of the nominated films, so he naturally had no interest in them.

Soon, the first nomination award related to the crew of "Split" was awarded.

Jonathan Nolan did not win, and the best adapted screenplay went to "The Big Short", a film project under Lois Company.

Awards were handed out one after another, and a Korean who was given special attention by the Academy won the statuette for Best Documentary Feature.

This is undoubtedly a major encouragement to the owner's dog.

Once the bone is thrown out, the dog will be more active later.

The Best Actor Award is the penultimate award tonight, and the presenter is the previous Best Actress winner.

Julian Moore walked onto the stage with a large envelope in hand.

She said some joking words, half-turned her body, looked at the big screen behind her, and introduced the nominees for this year's Best Actor.

“The following actors were nominated for Best Actor: Michael Fassbender, “Jobs”; Tom Hanks, “Bridge of Spies”; Martin Davis, “Split”…”

The scene accompanying the introduction is exactly the scene where Martin quickly changes different personalities in just ten seconds.

This performance, the acting is MAX!

Leonardo glanced at the old man next to him and said, "For this role, you really deserve the award!"

The live TV camera turned around at this time, and Martin seemed very calm. After all, all the work for winning the prize had been done in advance, and the only thing to do now was to wait for the upright result.

On the stage, Julian Moore opened the envelope, took out the card, took a look at it, and directly announced the result: "The Oscar for Best Actor is Martin Davis!"

Hearing his name, Martin clenched his fists, smashed the armrest of the seat hard, and stood up with a smile.

Nicholson stood up with a smile and hugged Martin: "Go ahead, go up and insult Leo to your heart's content!"

Leonardo pushed Nicholson aside, clenched his fist and punched Martin on the shoulder: "Asshole, you walked ahead of me again."

Martin said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let you calculate the problem of the century."

Leonardo muttered: "I thank you!"

Martin hugged Jonathan Nolan again, buttoned his suit, and strode towards the stage.

There was a round of applause, and everyone in the audience cheered and stood up.

Martin walked onto the stage and received a shining Oscar statuette from Julian Moore.

Julian Moore gestured to the microphone and took the initiative to step aside.

"Thank you to the Academy, thank you to all the judges for allowing me to stand here tonight." Martin raised the trophy: "Thank you to my friends and family, and thank you to all the members of my team! Thank you Jonathan, your script is great! Thank you Director David Fincher, you are my mentor. Without your help, this role would not have been possible.”

The time for each person to deliver an acceptance speech has been shortened to 48 seconds, and the time is almost up after just a few sentences.

Martin hadn't caused trouble yet, so he quickly said: "Don't chase me down yet, one more thing! Leo, before you came up, you warned me not to let you calculate math problems. Well, I will listen to you and won't let you calculate." ”

The whole audience burst into laughter.

It's more interesting not to mention this anymore than to mention it.

Leonardo deliberately waved his hand at Martin to express his dissatisfaction.

When the timer music sounded, Martin raised the statuette, waved to the audience, and walked backstage.

As soon as he entered the backstage, Warren Beatty, who was waiting here, raised his fist: "Congratulations, Martin, for winning the third Oscar."

Martin bumped his fists with him: "Thank you."

Seeing Warren Beatty waiting to go on stage, he asked, "Are you the Best Picture award presenter?"

Warren Beatty nodded slightly: “It's a special invitation from the college, so it's hard to refuse.”

Those who can serve as the best film award presenters are all first-line big names in the industry. They are famous, have qualifications, and are recognized by their peers.

The director and several other people next to him also expressed their congratulations to Martin one by one, and Martin also responded.

“Where are the people from PwC?” the director came over and saw Warren Beatty was empty-handed and asked quickly.

Someone replied: "They went to get the envelope."

　　The director glanced at his watch: "Urge them to hurry up."

The man ran out immediately.

The final award is about to be awarded, which is Best Picture.

Related to the agreement with Jennifer Aniston, Martin did not leave, but waited at the backstage entrance to watch the final award results.

　　The staff from PricewaterhouseCoopers hurried over and handed the envelope in their hands to Warren Beatty.

The director complained. The time was almost up and the music started. He hurriedly said: "Warren, come on."

Warren Beatty put the envelope in his hand, walked quickly onto the stage, and spoke a string of words skillfully.

The guests at the scene and the audience in front of the TV are all waiting for the final result.

After introducing the films nominated for Best Picture one by one, Warren Beatty lowered his head to open the envelope.

Each envelope will be marked with the name of the corresponding award.

But this old actor, who was nearly 80 years old, had long been tired of his eyesight. He vaguely saw a line of subtitles, and without thinking much, he opened the envelope, took out the card, and looked at it carefully with his eyes wide open.

Warren Beatty noticed that something was not right because there was only one person's name behind the movie title on the card.

According to Oscar rules, the names of two producers can be listed after the best picture.

The old man didn't think much about it. He read it carefully to make sure he recognized the name correctly. He raised his head and said into the microphone: "The winner of the best picture is..."Spotlight". Congratulations to Thomas McCarthy."

Hearing this name, Martin was somewhat surprised. From the Directors Guild Award to the Producers Guild Award, the best film was "Moonlight" invested by Jennifer Aniston.

Then he realized something and quickly glanced at the director and the PwC staff.

Martin thought to himself, it can't be such a coincidence, right?

There was a round of applause at the Dolby Theater. The crew of "Spotlight" has already taken the stage under the leadership of director and producer Thomas McCarthy.
