Chapter 476: Cheating Competition

Inside the Los Angeles City Press Office, the LAPD and the FBI are holding a joint press conference on the Santa Monica pier attack.

"There is conclusive evidence that this was not a simple attack, but a terrorist attack by spies from a certain country against democracy and freedom." Bradt read the manuscript that he had memorized steadily: "Intended to create chaos and take the opportunity to disrupt the American election......"

Hundreds of reporters attending the press conference were in an uproar, and this also involved the espionage case?

No wonder the LAPD and FBI didn't know anything about the attack, it turned out that the bear had made it......

Many older reporters recall more than 20 years ago, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were shivering.

Neves, who represented the FBI, took over and said into the microphone: "In addition to the nine people involved in the dock attack, there are six people who are engaged in peripheral support and other work, and the FBI has joined forces with the LAPD to capture them in one fell swoop." ”

"Here, we are very grateful to Mr. Martin Davis, who thwarted international spies and terrorists and defended American democracy and freedom in response to a serious attack on Los Angeles," he stressed. ”

Speaking of Martin, even if he is not used to his reporters, he is a little admired at this time, he can survive such a crazy surprise attack, and finally unite with the manager to destroy all the attackers!

Neves defined: "Martin Davis showed extraordinary intelligence, extraordinary courage, extraordinary fighting ability, Martin is a hero!" ”

Bradt added: "Martin is worthy of the honorary citizen of Los Angeles!" ”

After blowing Martin, the LAPD and the FBI went on to brag about themselves, such as how brutal the attackers were trained, how cunning they were, how difficult it was to capture those peripheral elements, and so on.

In short, the LAPD and the FBI are not wrong in this matter, what is wrong is that the enemy is too cunning.

In the medical center's ward, Martin watched the live TV, circled around the spacious suite more than a dozen times, and said: "The LAPD and FBI press conference has begun, we have been officially certified, and it is time to announce the situation." ”

Bruce pointed to the entrance of the hospital: "Every day, a large number of your supporters come to deliver flowers and light candles to pray for you at night. ”

Elizabeth opened the door and came in, put down the lunch in her hand, and said, "There are a dozen beautiful girls at the door, wearing wedding dresses to bring you flowers. ”

Bruce said, "It's them again! ”

Elizabeth wondered: "They? ”

"A group of crazy fans, rummaging through our garbage, I think they might want to find condoms ......or something," Martin said.

Listening to Martin's words, Elizabeth was a little stunned, and said in her heart that she must not let Martin's things leak out in the future, otherwise there will be trouble.

Bruce glanced at the TV and reminded, "The press conference is over, you go lie down, it's time to take pictures." ”

Martin's arm was fine and he was able to move freely in the morning, but for the sake of the effect, he hung around his neck again, and he sat on the hospital bed, his thigh bandaged exposed.

With his acting skills, the state after the performance injury should not be too easy.

Bruce took the camera to take a picture, then connected to the computer and passed it to Thomas.

Ten minutes later, all major media and newspapers received photos of Martin in his hospital bed.

"The latest news from this station, Martin Davis is currently in stable condition, the injury is not life-threatening, and he needs to be hospitalized for a period of time......"

At the same time, Martin's personal blog and the official website of the Coke God Cult have also been updated with Martin's latest developments.

In addition to the photos, there is also a short video of the agent Thomas being interviewed.

"Thanks to the public's support and concern, Martin's condition has stabilized and he will need to be hospitalized to recuperate."

On the official website of the Coke God Cult, the message instantly exceeded 10,000.

"Martin is fine, great!"

"I was having lunch and when I saw the news from Martin, I burst into tears, God forbid!"

"Martin, for the sake of us supporters, you must protect yourself!"

"On the day you are discharged from the hospital, we will go to the hospital to meet you!"

In the afternoon, Warner Bros. released the first trailer for "Fast and Furious".

The trailer of more than forty seconds is almost entirely composed of Martin's action gunfight scenes, and it is in a more realistic style.

In this case, the repercussions that such a trailer can cause can be imagined.

On the day the trailer was released on YouTube, it set a single-day broadcast record on YouTube, with nearly 4 million single-day playbacks, which pulled up the popularity at once!

The film's director, Chard, was also interviewed by Warner TV.

"I'm not surprised that Martin can have such a strong fighting power in the face of armed terrorists!" And he said the truth: "Because Martin underwent several months of high-end gunfight and combat training before filming 'Fast and Furious'. ”

This time, the fans' sense of anticipation was immediately filled.

Released at the same time as the trailer, there is also a poster of Martin's personal character, Jonathan wearing a suit, bloodstained face, and carrying a pistol, like Martin himself who went on a killing spree at the Santa Monica Pier.

The concept of a thug in a suit has spread far and wide.

In just a few days, "Fast and Furious" overtook films such as Transformers 2, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Ice Age 3, and reached the first place on the list of the most anticipated movies by fans in 2009!

The topic and highlights were all detonated by the Martin and Dock incidents.

The whole network is hotly discussing this movie.

"After watching other trailers, I would just think it was a movie, but after watching the trailer of the Rush Kill, I knew Martin could do it in reality!"

"Martin has already made a life announcement at the Santa Monica Pier, so why don't you buy a ticket?"

"I can't watch any movies next year, but I must watch it at a fast track!"

"Other movie stars can only play majestic in movies, but Martin is majestic in movies and in reality!"

In the last month of 2008, there was no star more popular than Martin.

With the help of developed information, the relevant video spread out of North America and spread all over the world, attracting a whole new wave of fans to Martin.

Martin's popularity was so high that Guanhai took the initiative to come over.

During Guanhai's trip to Los Angeles, Lam Emmanuel, Ali's brother and head of Guanhai's think tank, contacted Martin to visit the fighters and heroes who fought for freedom and democracy in the hospital.

Martin was also very cooperative, dragging his 'seriously injured body' and taking a photo with the sea viewing team.

He also left Ram Emmanuel's personal contact information under Ali's introduction.

As long as Guanhai wins the election, Ram will inevitably be the chief of staff in the White House.

Martin spent Christmas and New Year in the hospital, and the luxurious ward he stayed in was fully equipped with all the facilities that cost Cartier all-inclusive, but it was actually very comfortable.

On December 30, the Oscar nomination ballot for this year was mailed out.

On the first day of the new year in 2009, Coca-Cola held a press conference to officially announce that Martin would serve as the lifelong spokesperson of Coca-Cola, and cooperate with the Martin team to launch Coca-Cola in Martin commemorative packaging.

The leader of the Cult of the Gods of Coke lives up to its name!

A few days later, Cartier released a special edition commercial, all clips from Martin's battle scenes in the dock incident, with a new background music, which made people's blood boil.

In most of the advertising images, Martin can be seen wearing a Cartier men's watch.

So, at the end of the film, the only subtitle appeared - Cartier men's watch, the choice of a real man!

Advertising that these two companies don't invest much in has a better impact than those that throw in tens of millions of dollars.

In particular, Coca-Cola's newly launched Martin version of the commemorative packaging Coke has become so popular that it is sold out in supermarkets and convenience stores.

There were even scalpers who resold this coke.

The Cadillac side was very dissatisfied and specifically approached Thomas to give advice.

"Why didn't Martin use a Cadillac in the dock incident?" The person in charge was full of grievances, and they also paid the endorsement fee: "Why didn't Martin drive a Cadillac to kill all sides?" ”

What can Thomas say? At that time, it was impossible to call a timeout first, wait for Martin to find a Cadillac to drive, and then shout to start, right?

"The situation was so urgent, Martin could lose his life at any moment, it was all instinctive," he said. ”

Fortunately, Cadillac only expressed his dissatisfaction and stated that when Martin was discharged from the hospital, he must take Cadillac.

Thomas saw off the Cadillac and immediately rushed to the next business meeting.

After providing a photo of the Nokia phone, the Nokia people realized the business opportunity and their attitude changed abruptly.

not only agreed to Martin's $12 million one-year endorsement fee, but also said that he could sign it once a year.

But the mobile phone that got stuck in the bullet had to be handed over to Nokia and cooperate with the publicity.

Sure enough, the mobile phone was put on the Internet, and Martin testified in person, and Nokia immediately caused a sensation.

The PR campaign about the Oscars is also going on at the same time, and Martha and Rita have never had an Oscar PR so easy as this one.

publicity, Martin brings his own topics and traffic, and the judges remember him deeply.

Lobbying for members of the Academy who live in Los Angeles to recognize his contributions to the city and vote for him.

"It's not fair!"

In an office, Josh Brolin was rather annoyed: "Whoever steps on a horse can still compete for this best supporting actor." ”

The agent persuaded: "In this situation, even if we throw out millions of dollars, we can't grab this Best Supporting Actor, I think it's okay to guarantee the nomination, and the rest is just a waste of money." ”

Josh Brolin was about to cry: "Martin Davis cheating! We honestly spend money, do publicity, lobby judges, and follow the routine of the academy. What about him? How can people compete with the hat of a national hero and put it on themselves? ”

He scolded angrily: "This is too shameless! ”

The agent said, "No way, he was on the dock at the time." ”

Josh Brolin was silent for a moment before saying, "Good thing I wasn't there at the time. ”

The agent patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: "This is an advantage that others have to fight for, and it is normal for us to not be able to compare." ”

"Forget it, forget it." Josh Brolin was tired, and in the face of this cheating competition, he could only say: "I promise to get a nomination, and I will talk about it later." ”

The agent nodded: "There are still a lot of opportunities in the future." ”
