Behind the long bar in the living room of the villa, Louise took matters into her own hands and prepared a cup of expansion screws for Martin and placed them in front of him.

Martin took a sip and said, "The skill has improved a lot. ”

"It doesn't taste as good as the wine you mix." Louise raised her long eyebrows: "I still remember the penicillin you mixed for me in Atlanta, it tasted so wonderful that it healed the soul of an alcoholic." ”

Martin understood what he meant, turned to the back of the bar, picked up a brand new flask, and mixed a glass of penicillin.

Louise picked it up and took a sip, the liquor swimming through every taste bud, stirring the nerves as if something was exploding in her mouth.

She slowly closed her eyes, felt them carefully, and said: "The swelling and spiciness, like a huge thing suddenly stuffed over, the next moment it becomes round, mellow and sweet, and the swelling and impact are as strong as before!" ”

Martin picked up his glass and clinked glasses with Louise: "If you like it." ”

Louise leaned against the bar and said: "Nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, with your current fame and influence, the quality of the role and the film is guaranteed, and you are willing to throw resources into it, there is still a chance." ”

She asked, "I asked you to bring those people's address books, did you take them?" ”

Martin opened his bag, took out his address book, and handed it to Louise.

All recorded here are the contact information left by the parents of the people he saved during the Burbank Middle School incident.

Louise looked through it carefully, circled two people from it, and pointed them to Martin: "This man was promoted to deputy editor-in-chief of The Hollywood Reporter at the end of last year, and this newspaper is second to none in the industry, and you asked Thomas to contact him." ”

Then he said: "This is the senior management of the Screen Actors Guild, the main member of the Screen Actors Guild Awards Nomination Committee, he has the power to recommend actor nominations, that is, he can put your name on the list, and then the nomination committee votes on whether to nominate or not." ”

Burbank Middle School is one of the top private high schools in California, and its students come from unusual families and are closely related to the media and entertainment industry.

Martin followed Louise's words and asked, "Directly related to the Oscar nomination?" ”

"Closely related." Louise said: "The backbone members of the union are basically members of the film academy, that is, the Oscar judges, and if you get a nomination from the Screen Actors Guild, you have a better chance of getting an Oscar nomination." ”

Louise circled a few more people: "These are also industry insiders, don't use them for the time being, the first time you rush for the award, the crew's focus is not on your role, the chance of winning is very low, this kind of favor is gone after one use, and then use it at a critical moment." ”

Louise was more experienced in this area, and Martin listened to her.

On the Pacific Pictures side, it will also appropriately mobilize personal connections and nominate Martin for the vote at that time.

Martin toasted to Louise again: "After your guidance, the fog ahead has cleared up, and it has suddenly become clear." ”

Louise felt the impact of penicillin in her mouth, and after a while, she said, "Then stay with me tonight." ”

Martin glanced at his watch: "There are still two and a half hours until dinner time, you can play to your heart's content, and I will accompany you to the end." ”

Louise tilted her head to look at Martin, "Girlfriend?" “

"Blake was very cheerful and didn't ask much of me." Martin picked up his glass again: "When she's in Los Angeles, don't stay home all night." ”

Louise jumped onto the bar.

After drinking penicillin, which can cure alcohol addiction, she wants to taste penicillin, which can heal the soul.

Her temperature suddenly rose and she needed a fever shot.

Around five o'clock, Martin drove out of the gate of Louise's house and saw Elizabeth Olsen again.

She was leading her dog down from the park on the hill.

Martin is very tough now, and he has little interest in sweet girls and beautiful girls, and the two sides are far away, so he drove away directly.

"Potatoes, it looks like Martin's car." Elizabeth said to the Golden Retriever, "He didn't see us? ”

The golden retriever snorted a few times.

Elizabeth led the dog and crossed the road into the house.

The two older sisters have returned.

Mary Olsen beckoned her over and asked, "Liz, do you really want to get into the entertainment industry?" ”

Elizabeth thought of that Blake Lively and responded, "I want to be a star, too." ”

"It's not an easy road," Mary said. ”

Ashley Olsen contrabs: "It's much less difficult to develop than to enter an unfamiliar industry." ”

The descendants of Hollywood practitioners are still working in Hollywood or peripheral industries, because the previous generation laid a certain foundation.

Mary was young, but she understood this, and said, "Okay then. ”

Elizabeth immediately asked, "Found the right role?" ”

"You're an inexperienced newcomer." Mary reminded, "It's not that easy. ”

"I have appeared in two films in the '90s and have been the most important member of the school troupe over the years, at least twice a year with the Coty Community Theatre Company......," Elizabeth said.

Mary shattered her illusions: "It's not as simple as you think, your sisters don't have the ability to make you to the sky in one step." ”

Ashley came over with a couple of job postings and put them in front of Mary.

"These are advertising contracts, and I can help you get the job," Mary said. ”

"Okay, I'll try." Elizabeth has the fantasies of a girl of this age, but she has also seen the reality and cruelty of the world, and has taken those job postings and looked carefully.

It's all advertising contracts.

The first was an ad for a makeup brand, followed by Green Arrow gum......

When it came to the third part, Elizabeth picked it up and read it carefully word by word.

Coca-Cola's advertising recruitment recruits a model or actress who is no more than 20 years old to play the holy woman next to the leader of the Coke Cult......

Elizabeth asked, "Is Mary, the saint of this commercial, starring with the Master?" ”

"That's right, Coca-Cola's annual ad this year." Ashley knew more and took over: "The role of the saint in this commercial is to play with Martin Davis. ”

Elizabeth thought about last year, and if it weren't for Martin, she would have died at Burbank Middle School 99 percent, just like those who were killed.

At that time, it was as if she had fallen into hell, and Martin was the only light.

If someone asked Elizabeth if she believed in light, she would have said that I believed in light.

Although it is a little lighter now, the scene at that time seems to be engraved in my mind.

Elizabeth singled out Coca-Cola's advertised recruitment and said, "Sister, help me get this job, okay?" ”

Mary took it, looked at it and said, "It should be fine." ”

Elizabeth's smile was particularly sweet, and one of her two sisters kissed her on the face: "I love you!" ”

Ashley laughed: "If you can't get it, it will become that I hate you?" ”

"Let's go, Potato, go and help me rehearse." Elizabeth shouted to the Golden Retriever and went upstairs, and beckoned to her sisters: "I will always love you." ”

…………

On the way back to the Coty community, Martin called Thomas and sent him the contact information of the two men, which he had to deal with.

Agents are good at interpersonal relationships.

The 78th Academy Awards has not yet begun, and Martin is already preparing for the next Oscars.

The crew of "Departed" also kicked off the awards in advance, winning Leonardo, Nicholson and Martin the opportunity to win the red carpet of this year's Oscars.

Among them, Jack Nicholson will be the guest of honor for Best Picture.

With the WMA and Coca-Cola, the awards show's advertising sponsor, Martin will not only be able to walk the red carpet, but will also be the guest of honor for the best documentary.

As for Leonardo, he doesn't need it at all, he just needs to stand on the red carpet and be the focus of the audience.

Martin goes to the Oscar red carpet and can also bring a female companion.

It must be the public girlfriend Blake Lively.

With a week to go before the awards ceremony, Blake made a strict diet plan.

Martin looked at it roughly, measured Blake's figure inch by inch with his hand, and said, "It's good enough, there's no need to torture yourself like this." ”

Blake came to the dressing mirror and carefully looked at the blonde beauty inside, whose figure was so good that it exploded, but he was still not satisfied: "It's not perfect enough." ”

Martin pointed to the schedule: "You're going to have a hard week ahead. ”

"I consulted with a professional nutritionist and fitness therapist, she consulted for a lot of big stars, and Charlize Theron lost weight after she won Best Actress, and she lost weight according to her menu and exercise plan, and I was young and had a fast metabolism, and the amount of the menu was double that of women who were nearly 30 years old," Blake said. ”

Martin knows that actresses are all crazy people in their pursuit of figure.

On this menu, Blake only eats two meals a day, two boiled eggs each, a few almonds for breakfast, and some vitamin supplements for dinner.

Do not drink water on the day of the award ceremony to avoid water puffiness and bulging of the small belly.

Martin walked the red carpet in the past, so he will pay a little attention to his diet that day.

Blake was relieved: "I'm still young, no problem, don't worry, I won't take too extreme methods." ”

She paused slightly, then added: "There are also people who use an even more exaggerated method for the award ceremony, called the intravenous method, to take the necessary vitamins through intravenous injections, and do not eat at all during this preparation period......

"Red is temporary, health is forever." Martin specifically said: "Promise me, my dear, that no matter what happens in the future, don't use those overly extreme methods. ”

Blake nodded, "I'll remember." ”

Martin glanced at his watch: "Let's go, let's go see the dress." ”

Blake said: "I don't have a sponsorship brand for the time being, so I can rent a dress as you like." ”

"The effect of renting is not good, and it does not show your beauty." Martin led her out: "The top women's dresses are all disposable, and you can't take them off when you put them on. ”

Jewelry can be rented, but if there is no sponsorship for a dress, it is better to buy it.

Martin himself does not have to worry, Armani took the initiative to contact the WMA and will provide him with men's dresses.
