At Davis Manor, a well-dressed and glamorous Elizabeth Olsen dragged her black skirt to Martin and pinned her fist logo to the collar on his left side.

Martin was wearing a Brioni haute couture suit, a Cartier men's watch on his wrist, and a Coke-shaped crown pinned to the right collar, put down the Nokia N98 mobile phone in his hand, opened the jewelry box in front of him, and took out a necklace custom-made of seven flawless rubies, and put it on Elizabeth's neck.

Elizabeth looked surprised, brushed her hand over the necklace of white gold, diamonds and rubies, and smiled sweetly: "I love this gift." ”

Martin asked, "I have a good eye." ”

Elizabeth stood in front of the dressing mirror and said, "It's beautiful. ”

Martin stood a little farther away, admiringly, and said, "People are more beautiful." ”

Elizabeth smiled even sweeter.

Martin picked up another fist sign and pinned it to her chest.

Elizabeth said: "I don't want to do feminism, I just want to be your saint forever." ”

Martin said, "As long as you want." ”

"Ahem......" Bruce, who came in through the door, reminded, "it's time to go." ”

Martin picked up his Nokia phone and led Elizabeth out of the car to get into the car, which was naturally a Cadillac.

Sponsors not only pay for sponsorships every year, but also dedicate resources to help him compete for nominations and awards, and Martin certainly has to cheer for others.

The Cadillac flagship drove out of the estate and headed straight for the Hollywood Kodak Theatre.

Elizabeth remembered one thing: "There's no news from Chanel Five?" ”

Martin nodded slightly: "Last year, Toni Fellman had a paternity test incident, and the French side took the initiative to cut off contact with Thomas, and has not contacted Thomas again, this matter depends on their attitude." ”

"How are Toni and Stewart?" Elizabeth asked.

Martin didn't pay much attention.

Bruce continued: "The situation is a bit complicated, Stuart Townshed, on the advice of his lawyer, is now countering the theft of his genetic material by Toni Fellman, and the case is estimated to be fought for a long time." ”

Martin sincerely wishes: "May these two people be entangled until the end of the world." ”

"Is this a curse or a blessing for you?" Elizabeth asked with a smile and changed the subject: "Some time ago, Louise introduced Irene Lauder to me, who was going to let me be a beauty spokesperson. ”

"If your sisters' brands don't do makeup, you can try it," Martin said. ”

Elizabeth said: "They don't have any plans for that for the time being. ”

The car soon approached the Kodak Theater.

This year's Oscars, although the red carpet is wider and longer, the mainstream color is black.

Many of the guests who walked the red carpet, including Martin and Elizabeth, responded to Julie and Aniston's call by donning black dresses and pinning the Rice Rabbit fist logo on their chests.

Even the place where the members of the Cult of the Coke God gathered turned into a sea of black.

Martin had a routine Coke with them, coped with live interviews, and entered the Kodak Theater.

As soon as I entered, I saw Nicholson talking to Meryl Streep, who was also dressed in a black dress.

Martin took Elizabeth over and greeted the two, and when he saw Meryl herself, her eyebrows fluttered, and she looked very happy, and asked, "Meryl, have you met something good?" ”

Meryl smiled happily: "The divorce has reached an agreement, but it will not be announced for the time being, and it may drag on for a few years." ”

Nicholson, by contrast, frowned.

Martin doesn't have to guess to know why, if not at this time, but when? He said to Meryl: "Celebrate your return to singleness, do you want me to introduce you to an excellent man, he also told me a few days ago that he wants to enter the marriage hall again and experience the warmth of the family." “

Meryl said, "Well, I'd love to get to know you!" ”

Nicholson lashed: "Shut up! ”

How could Martin give up and said: "How about Jack Nicholson, a three-time Oscar winner, the famous face gang leader, the man who can make Martin Davis and Leonardo willing to be the little brother?" ”

"Very good!" Meryl asked Nicholson half-truthfully, "Jack, when are you going to propose to me?" “

Nicholson's face flushed, and he turned around and left.

Meryl smiled at Martin and waved her hand at him, and quickly followed.

Elizabeth said, "You are so fond of fooling around. ”

Martin smiled: "I'm doing a good deed to help Jack solve the loneliness of old age." ”

The two entered the hall and were seated in the first two rows thanks to Benjamin, which received 13 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.

Martin had just walked into the guest area when someone next to him greeted him.

Blake Lively stood up in a black dress: "Hi, Martin. “

Elizabeth glanced at her and whispered to Martin, "I'll go over first, and you can talk." ”

Martin nodded, waited for her to leave, held on to his seat, and said, "Long time no see." ”

Blake said softly: "I'm too busy at work, on the set, publicity, running around, endlessly." “

"I watched Gossip Girl." There was no sharp contradiction between the two, and Martin genuinely praised: "Queen S is fantastic. ”

Blake said, "You gave me confidence. ”

The two also had a sweet time living together, and Martin remembered going from "Summer in Jeans" to Burbank Middle School, and then looked at Blake in front of him, and was silent for a moment.

Blake felt a little embarrassed and took the initiative to say, "When do you have time, come out for coffee together?" She then patted her head: "Look at me, you like tea." ”

Instead of responding, Martin asked, "I recently heard the news that Warner and DC are preparing to make the superhero film "Green Lantern", and it is said that you are interested in competing for the female lead?" ”

Blake said bluntly: "There will be a third audition soon, but the competition is also strong, and Diane Kruger and Eva Green are both interested in competing for the role. ”

Martin thought about it for a while, and for the sake of his past feelings, he felt that it was better to say it directly: "Blake, I don't think you're suitable for this role." ”

"What do you mean...... "After all, you know my depths, I know your strengths and weaknesses, and Blake immediately understood the meaning of Martin's words: "The prospects of this film are not very good?" ”

Once this film almost completely shattered Blake's ascent as a movie star, even if he later starred in some films, but more like an Internet celebrity star than a movie star who relies on his works to speak.

Martin looked left and right and whispered: "Personally, I feel that Warner is dominated by a group of Japanese Americans now, and I don't feel very good." ”

Blake looked down and thought about it, she knew Martin well, and knew that he never talked nonsense at work.

"That's until you." Martin is ready to go: "I'll get in touch when I have time." ”

Blake assured, "I won't mention it to anyone." ”

Martin nodded to her and went to the front seat.

Blake returned to his seat.

The agent leaned over and asked, "What did you talk to Martin about?" ”

Blake said: "After talking a little about the past, although I didn't have much contact with him, there was no conflict when we separated. ”

"Do you want me to talk to Thomas and tie you up to make some news?" The two belong to the same WMA, and the agent is also familiar with Thomas: "Your high exposure is conducive to competing for the heroine of "Green Lantern". ”

Blake decided to follow Martin's advice and said, "I'm going to get out of audition for this film." ”

The agent was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Why?" Blake, do you know how much work I've done to fight for roles? You can't be so willful! ”

Blake said, "I've decided! ”

"You are disrespecting the results of my work and your father's efforts during this time!" The agent was rather angry: "You think about it. ”

Blake shook his head directly: "No need. ”

The agent was full of anger and didn't know who to attack, so he picked up the bag and left directly.

In the front row of the seat, Elizabeth saw Martin come back and ended her conversation with Katherine Kennedy, asking, "How's the chat?" ”

Martin told the truth: "Convince her to give up a role. ”

Elizabeth no longer asks this: "We have thirteen nominations, we should be able to come back with a lot of awards, right?" ”

Nearby Katherine Kennedy and David Finch all shook their heads and sighed, the situation was not optimistic.

David Fincher glanced at the Rice Rabbit logo on his neckline and said, "Best Director doesn't have to think about it, this Oscar is going to make history." ”

Katherine Kennedy said: "There are not many hopes for best picture. ”

Martin boosted morale: "At least we had a good commercial harvest and the film did well at the box office. ”

Thanks to 13 Oscar nominations, "Benjamin" rebounded in North American theater attendance after the nominees' luncheon, which now grosses $189 million in North America and $368 million worldwide.

When the Oscars are over, no matter how many awards are won, there will be another small rebound.

After a few people discussed who might be the biggest winner tonight, the awards ceremony began.

Because of the Harvey Weinstein case that swept Hollywood and even North America last year, this year's Oscars have a strong Rice Rabbit plot, and the host is Helen from Warner TV.

At the end of her opening string, Meryl Streep took the stage and sang a song "ME TOO".

Bringing down Harvey Weinstein has become politically correct for the entire Hollywood industry.

After all, even the academy expelled Harvey.

Martin then left his seat and went backstage through the side doorway, where last year's Best Supporting Actor winner was the guest of honor for Best Supporting Actress today.

This is also the first award to be presented today.

After Martin took the stage, he routinely spoke a string of words, read out the list of nominees, and opened the envelope to announce the results: "The winner is Comonina Monique of "Cherished".

In the applause of the audience, a fat black woman took the stage with the corner of her skirt, took the little golden figure from Martin's hand, and after a routine thank-you, said a lot of anti-racist words.

Of course, the anti-racism of blacks is only against discrimination against black Americans.
