Martin's familiar appearance on the picture doesn't seem to have aged at all, but just a little more mature temperament and charm.

Anne Hathaway's red lips were tightly pursed into a line, and she suddenly felt her cheeks tingle, and her throat seemed to be stuffed with something, and she subconsciously opened her mouth, just like when she was with Martin.

The strange sound almost came out of her throat, and she quickly covered her mouth.

Anne said in her heart that it was dangerous, and it was dangerous.

But looking at the picture of Martin, he remembered the good old days when his mouth was always full, and he missed it infinitely.

Because Anne could see the list of numbers on the leaderboard.

"NO.3, Martin Davis!

- $82 million!

$40 million, from the salary and share of "Inception".

$32 million, from the salary and share of "Gone Girl".

$10 million, from the copyright income of other old films. ”

Anne knew that this was only a rough estimate and that there would definitely be errors, but not particularly large.

In previous years, Martin's income was enough to rank first!

After that, Spielberg, Leonardo, Nolan, etc., all inferior to Martin.

Although her annual income is close to 10 million US dollars, the expenses of female celebrities are too large, which is not enough to spend.

Anne clearly remembers that when she was with Martin, Martin's annual income was only hundreds of thousands of dollars, and he had just become famous, and in only five years, he had already stepped into the threshold of superstardom.

James Franco noticed that Anne was stunned and asked, "Are you alright?" ”

Anne came back to her senses and said, "I'm fine. ”

She handed the magazine back to Franco and slowly walked backstage alone.

I have always wanted to find a white rich handsome, and I knew that the rich and handsome were in front of me, but I lost it.

At this moment, Anne was eager to ask Martin if she could turn back.

Heading backstage, she saw the newly elected president of the Academy, Tom Sherrac, discussing the award presenters with the director of the ceremony.

"We have finalized three candidates for the award for Best Picture." The director said to Tom Scherak: "Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Martin Davis. ”

Tom Sherak nodded slightly: "Three people are enough, but Martin is a little too young...... The Oscars have been shrinking in recent years, and we must reverse this decline. ”

The director was under a lot of pressure for a while.

Tom Sherrac added: "Sandra Bullock suffered a leg injury while filming her new film 'Gravity' and may not be able to attend the awards ceremony, I called her and communicated with her, the Best Actor award guests, I am ready to put Jack and Martin on board. ”

The director instantly understood what Sherak meant, this is a trio that is famous in Hollywood and even in the United States.

According to Nicholson, the trio once fought side by side at the Santa Monica Pier, against dozens of gun-wielding spies, and had a fatal friendship.

He asked tentatively, "What if Leonardo doesn't win the prize?" ”

Tom Sherrac said: "Whether he wins the award or not, the highlights are up! ”

The director said: "In the last five years, the Oscars have been the most watched time, when Spielberg, Coppola and Lucas jointly awarded Scorsese the best director. ”

"That's how the award for Best Actor is decided." Tom Sherak is also under a lot of pressure, the Oscars are the signature of the academy, and once the Oscars become less influential, the academy will also decline.

He added: "On the best picture, let Spielberg and Hanks be on it, choose one of the two, and see who wants to be on it." “

Anne passed by, pretending not to hear these words, but in her heart she thought that Martin would definitely go backstage during the awards ceremony, and find an opportunity to chat with him for a few words, maybe the old love would be rekindled.

She has always felt that Martin is affectionate and righteous, and she misses the old days.

…………

In the reception room of Burbank Davis Studios.

Inspector Geralt comes to visit.

Martin asked, "Is the case resolved?" ”

"It's been ascertained." Inspector Geralt handled the case quite efficiently, opened the file bag he brought, took out the information in it, and handed it to Martin: "Now it has been found out that it was done by this group of Mexicans." ”

There are photos of six people on the profile, and two of them are vaguely impressed, and after thinking about it carefully, they seem to be Mexicans who delivered a safe deposit box on the day of the move.

He looked at the information again, and it was indeed the case, and asked, "Detective, have you caught it?" “

Geralt was full of apologies: "It took us a day to track them down, but when we went out to arrest them, we found that they fled to Mexico at noon, and now they may be in Tijuana, I reported it to the police department, and the police issued a pursuit warrant through the connections on Tijuana's side, but the situation there is very complicated, and it is unrealistic to expect the Tijuana police to arrest them." ”

"It's okay." Martin didn't care about the thieves and asked, "Is there anyone behind them?" ”

Geralt shook his head directly: "At present, we haven't found it, everyone has gone to Mexico, so ......"

Martin understood, and he didn't bother them, in this place in Los Angeles, Inspector Geralt was definitely fast enough to find the suspect.

Geralt got up and took his leave: "Mr. Davis, if there are any new developments in the case, we will inform you in time." ”

Martin sent him out: "Thank you. ”

Upon his return, he handed the information to Bruce and asked, "Any impressions?" ”

Bruce took a closer look and said, "Four of them have delivered the safe. ”

Martin inevitably made an association: "Will they be instructed by someone to take the opportunity of the safe to come and step on it in advance?" He remembered, "That day, I was going to review the scripts that were sent to the company, and they were piled up on my desk. ”

"It's possible." Bruce asked the key: "Who is behind them?" ”

Martin said, "Wait, we should find out soon." “

He glanced at his watch: "Go to Brentwood, there is a pull film of "Shutter Island" today, we have watched Leo's ugly show for so long, and we have to help him do public relations." ”

Bruce said that these three bastards not only messed with each other, but also with each other when they were bored.

…………

At the end of another pull-tab meeting, Leonardo was exhausted, and after all the guests said goodbye and left, he sat on the sofa and didn't want to get up again.

In this year's public relations, he invested unprecedented money and energy.

Martin has helped him build momentum to the point of selling ugly, and Leonardo has also rushed forward desperately, and these days he has either been meeting with other members of the academy or on the way to meet them.

The big meal is almost numb, and the chicken and steak taste like plastic.

Martin took a bottle of water, threw it to Leonardo, and said: "Katherine Kennedy promised that the vote for Best Actor will be given priority to you, and she has just been elected vice president of the academy and can influence the voting choices of many people." ”

Nicholson came over and sat down on another couch: "This time the academy was reshuffled, West Gannis voluntarily retired, Warren Beatty did not run, 65-year-old Tom Sherrac was elected president, Katherine Kennedy and Tom Hanks were elected vice presidents, and the academy is also getting younger." ”

Martin said: "I don't have any misconceptions about rejuvenation, 65 years old is ...... younger"

Leonardo laughed: "This is already a rare rejuvenation for the academy. ”

"Why, we old people haven't retired yet, and these young people are in a hurry to take the position." Nicholson pushed his sunglasses up, and his voice changed: "Martin's special public relations this time, coupled with the change of the academy, is indeed a rare and good opportunity for you, Leo." ”

Leonardo was ruthless: "I will carry out the ugly selling to the end." ”

Nicholson changed the subject: "Did the suspect catch the case on your side?" ”

"The suspect was found, but he was not caught." Martin himself didn't care about the intruders, he cared about other things, and didn't put any pressure on the LAPD at all.

His relationship with McLean is not useful for this: "The LAPD dug up some information and locked up six suspects through these, but the other party is all Mexican, and his head is not stupid, he left Los Angeles the day after the crime and ran back to Mexico, the person may be in Tijuana, you know the situation over there, it is very complicated." ”

Nicholson asked, "Do you want my detective to go out?" ”

"Are you going to deal with the gangsters in Tijuana?" Martin asked, "It's not America over there, you're going to be trapped over there, I can't save you." ”

Just take a look at the rapid chase and hurricane rescue, dozens of Tijuana gangsters will press on you, not to mention him and Bruce, and the six-person team in the form of seals may also kneel.

Nicholson hurriedly shook his head: "Tijuana still forget it." ”

A border, heaven and hell, is more than just talking.

The gangsters in Tijuana don't buy the Hollywood bastard trio, and they may even be taken hostage and extorted a large amount of money in the past.

Leonardo asked, "That's it?" When have we ever suffered such a loss? ”

"Of course not." Martin said seriously: "I'm thinking about whether to hire a mercenary and go to Tijuana and kill them all!" ”

Nicholson was afraid that there would be nothing to do: "It's a good idea, tens of thousands of dollars can make a lot of Mexicans desperate." ”

He's been in California for decades, and he's been quite wild: "Do you have any information about those people?" ”

Martin nodded: "Yes, the LAPD found out their identities and got a lot of life photos." ”

Nicholson was not polite to Martin: "Give me $200,000 to pay for the trouble." ”

"Money is not an issue." Martin reminded again: "Don't go to Mexico, you can't show up in person." ”

"I'm not going to Mexico," Nicholson said. He grinned: "Detective Nicholson is offline, and next I'm Andrew, the hired murderer!" ”

He stood up and waved his arms suddenly: "No one can have a good time after provoking our bastard trio!" I! The boss of the bastard threesome, absolutely not allowed! ”

Leonardo said, "No wonder I'm willing to recognize you as the boss." ”

Martin gave a thumbs up: "That's the unique charm of the bastard trio boss!" ”
