In the open-air bar by the sea, the waiter brought in a drink and poured it for two customers.

Martin tipped, let him go, and gestured for a glass: "The most Hollywood way to drink, start in the morning and drink until the wee hours of the morning." ”

Leonardo clinked glasses with Martin, and before drinking, he said, "Be temperate, you will be blessed." ”

Martin stared at him deliberately: "Understood." ”

"Hey, what do you mean by that look?" Leonardo defended: "Tell you, I am a man of moderation and planning. ”

Martin nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know, you are in a big game of chess!" He pinched his face and deliberately made his face wider and fatter: "Didn't you deliberately make it look like this, so that you could compete for the Oscar?" ”

Leonardo's big round eyes widened: "This is my plan?" Why don't I know? ”

Martin took the bottle and poured it for the two of them.

Leonardo pouted: "With my strength, can I use such a rotten method?" ”

"You're high, you're amazing!" Martin's words seemed to curse: "In 98, you said that you didn't go to the Oscars for fear of stealing the limelight, but you still stole all the limelight, those old guys hold grudges, they are old and ugly, they can't see others beautiful and handsome, you don't cripple yourself, you can't win the Oscar." ”

He deliberately dragged out his tone: "Leo, hurry up and become a greasy fat middle-aged man!" ”

Leonardo pointed at Martin: "Everyone else is cursed behind their backs, you bastard is good, curse me to your face!" ”

He smiled cruelly: "Don't talk about me, you don't know your situation?" Just like you, a scumbag, if you don't ruin your image, can you win the Oscar? ”

"You have a point, I can't even refute it!" Martin let out a long sigh, his face and words were full of deep helplessness: "A handsome guy like us is destined to have a difficult road to Oscar." ”

Leonardo had a deep understanding: "Because those old frustrations are jealous of us!" ”

Martin asked, "Next awards season, are you going to do it again?" ”

Leonardo nodded: "Of course I have to continue, I am not short of money, I am not short of women, I am not short of appointments, and I always have to have some goals to be a man." ”

Martin was struck, and the bastard on the other side was really not a person.

Leonardo enjoyed the feeling of Martin being hit, and said with a smile: "I can win Best Actor in two films this year, in addition to "The Departed", and "Blood Diamond". ”

"I'm ready to be nominated for Best Supporting Actor," Martin said. ”

Leonardo rushed to the Olympics several times, and simply directed: "Prepare more money, there is no investment of more than one million dollars, it is not recommended that you participate, throw money into it in vain." ”

"The brokerage company will put resources into it." Martin roughly said, "There should be a sponsorship fee from Coca-Cola. ”

He approached Leonardo mainly for one thing: "When it comes to awards season, let's join forces to toss a little bit out and get more judges to notice us?" ”

Leonardo knew that Martin was particularly capable of tossing and was quite interested: "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

"It's just a simple idea right now, and when I'm refining it, we'll get the team together and work it together," Martin said. ”

Leonardo nodded: "Yes." ”

Martin gave him a special drink: "I'll rub your heat when I get there." ”

"Just don't rub my face!" Leonardo made a joke and said seriously: "You owe me a party!" ”

Martin thought for a moment and asked, "Is anyone getting married this year over there at Victoria's Secret?" ”

Last time, he asked carefully that supermodels' newlywed bachelorette parties often go crazy.

Leonardo knows more about supermodels than he can imagine: "If I'm not mistaken, AA will get engaged at the end of this year, and it is estimated that there will be a bachelorette party, and they have been thinking about your good ......"

Martin remembered Heidi Klum's bachelorette party last time and said, "Ask carefully? ”

Leonardo was full of interest: "Wait for my news." ”

He did what he said, and immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Ambrosio's number.

Ambrosio said that when the bachelor party was going to go to the Caribbean, he rented a small island for a carnival.

She specifically asked Leonardo to ask Martin to come over and have him design a carnival theme.

The last yacht party, all the supermodels remember it well, and they had a special time.

Leonardo hung up the phone and told Martin about the situation: "Man, it's up to you. ”

Martin replied: "Don't worry, wrap it up on me." ”

The two had another drink and quickly went their separate ways.

After Martin got in the car, a key question suddenly came to mind: what should Gisele Bonson do when he goes to a bachelorette party?

Does this seem like a common occurrence in Hollywood?

At noon, Martin arrives in Century City for lunch with Thomas.

Thomas started with the bad news: "Yesterday Emma Thomas informed me that you didn't make it through the first round of selection for Deadly Magic, and she apologized, followed by a phone call from Christopher Nolan to explain why. ”

Martin wasn't surprised by this result, as his real goal with Nolan wasn't the Lethal Magic project.

Thomas's words continued: "Director Nolan thinks you are too young and lack that British gentleman's temperament......"

Martin asked directly, "Is there anything else?" ”

"I've heard some rumors." Thomas also had a few eyeliners on that crew: "Christian Bale, the film's confirmed male lead, met with the Nolans this week, and then the Nolans decided to use Hugh Jackman on another male lead. ”

Martin remembered his time in New York: "Bell seems to have a good relationship with Heath Ledger, and Hugh Jackman is a member of the Australian Gang. ”

Thomas added: "Hollywood, this kind of thing has nothing to do with right or wrong, only position. ”

Martin certainly understands this, and he has done a lot of things in advance with Heath Ledger's drug drive to pave the way for the next steps, but there are also downsides.

He thought about it for a moment and said, "You keep in touch with Mr. and Mrs. Nolan. ”

"I will." Thomas mentions a new situation: "At the last Warner party, Mene said that he had a good chat with Emma Thomas, and Emma Thomas also mentioned that Mayne has a good reputation in their small group of female producers and directors. ”

Bruce suddenly answered, and first said to Martin, "You don't care about this." He looked at Thomas again: "What is the situation, we will discuss." ”

Martin glanced at Lao Bu and didn't say much.

Thomas automatically crossed the topic and said the next thing: "I talked to Coca-Cola, and Coca-Cola said it would sponsor you to hit the big names during the awards season, and they wanted you to go one step further and get an Oscar nomination." ”

Martin laughs, "That's good news. ”

Thomas added: "Ali has spoken to Warner Bros. and Pacific Pictures, and both sides will help you push for nominations, but that's until the nominations, because 'The Departed' is prioritized for Best Director and Best Picture during the awards season. ”

"I'll talk to Louise in the afternoon." Martin knows very well that it could cost billions of dollars.

Male stars want to be on the top, it's really hard to step on the horse!

Along the way, I don't know how many tunnels to explore and how many interesting ways to explore the ropeway.

Martin knows very well that if there is an autobiography in the future, there is one thing that cannot be bypassed - Martin Davis fell asleep all the way!

Thomas opened the briefcase, took out a very thin script, and handed it to Martin: "Coca-Cola's commercial this year, the specific shooting time and director have been determined, and they will contact me as soon as possible, and the advertising script has been finalized and will not change." ”

Martin's signing with Coca-Cola comes with an advertisement, which is a condensed version of the signing ceremony, and it takes time to shoot, and this is the first one.

He put down his knife and fork, flipped through the script, and read it carefully.

It's the scorching sun, the barren west, the chaotic bars and the handsome cowboys.

The plot is very simple, the leader of the Cult of Coke in the west, who is spreading the gospel of the Coke God Cult, meets the local bullies who are doing evil, and the bully wants to plot against the saints around the leader, and is subdued after being beaten by the leader, pressed on the counter of the bar, and awakens his conscience with ice cola.

This is an advertisement that is to be broadcast on public television stations, etc., and naturally there can be no headshots in Coke bottles.

Martin quickly read it and said, "Isn't this an adaptation of my conflict with Pete's Bar?" ”

"That incident had a big impact, and it's still a hit in Google searches." Thomas, of course, read the script: "Coca-Cola did targeted market research, and the overwhelming majority of people were quite disgusted with Pitt on this matter. ”

He roughly explained: "Aniston is the sweetheart of the United States, and Pitt divorced her as a cheating party, and after the divorce, interfered with Aniston's freedom. ”

Martin closed the script and put it away: "I guess Pete will be very unhappy when he sees the commercial." ”

"What are you afraid of!" Thomas appeared confident: "Coca-Cola's largest shareholder, Warren Buffett, has stood up to speak for you, not to mention Pete in this level of advertising, even CAA has to keep his mouth shut." ”

Martin was a little regretful: "It's a pity that I didn't meet Buffett in New York this time." ”

Thomas was relieved: "There's always a chance." ”

Looking at the time, Martin texted Louise and asked her where she was.

They quickly replied and told him to go to Sherman Oakes' house.

Martin said to Thomas, went home and changed his clothes, and drove alone down Coty Avenue up the hill.

Coming to the south slope, he saw Elizabeth Olsen coming out of the house with a golden retriever in her hand and parking the car on the side of the road.

Elizabeth knew Martin's public and immediately led the dog to speed up.

Martin lowered the passenger door and said, "What about walking the dog?" ”

"yes." Elizabeth was more mature, she leaned down and leaned on the window: "I haven't seen you in a long time." ”

Martin found an excuse: "It's always been a busy business, and I have to run around. ”

Elizabeth's sisters are celebrities and know something about it: "Celebrities are busy people. ”

Martin glanced over there, and Elizabeth's sweatshirt collar had fallen from leaning on the window.

He turned around and said, "I'll go to your neighbor's house for something, and we'll talk about it when I'm free." ”

Elizabeth got up, returned to the sidewalk, and waved at Martin.

Martin went to Louise's house to discuss Pacific Pictures and Louise's own support for him next season.

A deposit of several hundred million is indispensable.
