Beverly Hills, Davis Manor.

After picking up a few good bottles of wine from the cellar, Martin returns to the living room to find that Leonardo, Nicholson, and Saoirse Ronan are missing.

When he saw Elizabeth coming out of the kitchen, he asked, "What about them?" ”

Elizabeth pointed outside, "It's all in the yard." ”

Martin pulled her and went out of the villa together, and found everyone on the other side of the fountain square.

It was already dark, and the square was lit up.

Leonardo picked up a tube with a handle and pointed it at forty-five degrees to the sky.

Nicholson flicked a cigar and lit a special firework bomb and stuffed it into the tube, while patting Leonardo on the head and yelling, "Go!" ”

Martin was anxious and shouted, "Don't set off fireworks!" Don't let ...... go"

With a bang, a spark flew into the sky with a tail flame, and exploded violently, exploding a sky full of fire trees and silver flowers.

Martin scratched his head, these two bastards actually set off fireworks to celebrate at half time!

Saoirse saw Martin and Elizabeth and shouted, "Teacher, Liz, come and set off fireworks together." ”

Elizabeth noticed that the people around her had stopped, and her hands were as heavy as morning glory.

Nicholson shouted: "Martin, don't stop you, Leao and I are just trying to figure out one thing, whether the half-time celebration is really going to lose the game." ”

"One more shot! Go on! Leonardo shouted, "Martin, let's give it a try, it's a big deal to ask Jack to give you an Oscar, he has three." ”

Martin spread his hands: "After harming outsiders and harming your own people, you are worthy of being the two biggest bastards in Hollywood!" ”

Nicholson ignited another firework bomb, which was sent into the sky by Leonardo and exploded half of the sky.

Martin didn't bother to bother anymore and pulled Elizabeth back: "Let's go prepare dinner." ”

Elizabeth smiled and comforted him: "Leo and Jack have contributed a lot this time, so we have to let them celebrate." ”

"Leave them alone. ”

At this nominee's luncheon, the crew of "The Martian" gained a lot, winning eight nominations, including Best Art Director, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Effects, Best Visual Effects, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture.

Best Director above, Ridley Scott made it clear that he would give up on follow-up PR publicity.

The crew and Disney Studios have agreed that the primary goal is Martin's best actor.

After successfully brushing off Matt Damon through the contest, Martin is almost alone in the list of nominees.

The next thing to do is to prevent upsets.

…………

It only took one night for Matt Damon to completely accept the fact that he said goodbye to this Oscar early.

Without being nominated, no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless.

The bad things he did in the past finally made him pay some price.

But Matt Damon has never regretted it, if he hadn't done these bad things, he wouldn't be where he is today.

The agent came over early in the morning to visit Matt Damon.

Entering the living room, he said: "Steven Soderbergh is going to shoot a biographical film about the pianist "Lieberas", you have worked with him many times, if you are interested, you can ask Soderbergh, I believe he will not refuse you." ”

Matt Damon knows that biopics are easy to win awards, and he has always had a good relationship with Soderbergh, saying: "I'll call Steven when I get back." ”

The agent was worried that he had been entangled in this matter, and specifically said: "Oscar is there every year, this one is not good, we will fight for the next one, there is no need to entangle in one term, let alone with Martin Davis." ”

Matt Damon was silent, with a humble face, and seemed to listen.

The agent glanced at his watch and picked up the bag: "I'll go first, call me if you have something, you have a good rest for a while." ”

"Wait." Matt Damon finally didn't hold back, called out to the agent, and said: "Keep in touch with the media and expose all the black materials we prepared for Martin Davis." ”

The agent couldn't help but shake his head, what kind of black materials are they? Throwing a party, hooking up with the neighbor's fiancée, messing around with a lot of supermodels, what are these to Hollywood stars?

"It's useless, it doesn't hurt Martin Davis, it might even make him more attractive, this is Hollywood, not Washington," he said. ”

Matt Damon said: "I didn't get the nomination, now Martin Davis is the favorite, we can drag him back a little bit, we can't get it, he doesn't want to get it easily. ”

Faced with a client of Matt Damon's level, the agent could not refuse: "Okay, I'll do my best." ”

Matt Damon didn't even think about the first negative news, and directly thought it was related to Martin Davis.

It's not that he didn't think about fighting back, but after multiple investigations, he couldn't find a counterattack point for a while.

This bastard hasn't talked to anyone under the age of 18, hasn't forced other women, doesn't do tax evasion, etc.

usually looks like a top bastard in the circle, but in fact, the bottom line is higher than the vast majority of people in Hollywood.

Matt Damon got in the car, left his mansion and went to the state prison.

Today is an appointment for visitation day.

Matt Damon met his former best friend Ben Affleck, and saw his emaciated and restless appearance, and suddenly felt that he was really lucky not to be involved by the Harvey and Affleck brothers.

In the past, Matt Damon himself can't remember how many bad things he did to curry favor with Harvey Weinstein.

In the past two years, the situation in Hollywood has changed dramatically.

Bigwigs like Harvey were sent in.

Coming out of the state prison, Matt Damon got into the car and sat in silence for half an hour.

He picked up his mobile phone and dialed the agent's number: "It's me, forget all the things I said in the morning, there's no need, let's keep our strength and wait for the next opportunity, the next awards season." ”

"A very wise decision," the agent said. ”

Matt Damon hung up, started the car, and as he pulled out of the parking lot, he looked back at the state jail, and he didn't want to end up in it.

In this Oscar PR, Matt Damon saw one thing clearly, whether it is money and power, or fame and status, he is no longer on the same level as Martin Davis.

That is, he has a little more brains than Ben, and the pressure is pressure, and he doesn't do anything that violates the law.

…………

On a sunny afternoon, Elizabeth Olsen woke up in a daze and touched the side, but Martin was not there.

There was a faint sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Elizabeth was tired and didn't want to move, so she was confused for a while, took a yacht advertising book, flipped through two pages, and threw it aside.

Although it was tempting to get a yacht called the Elizabeth, after careful consideration these days, she felt that the yacht utilization rate was too low, and she could take a step back for a while, and it was better to buy a private business jet.

Whether it's her and Lily, or Martin, they take too many flights a year.

Elizabeth tugged at a cushion and rested her chin on it, lazy up and down, and she couldn't help but remember the last time the thought came to her.

Lily had a good relationship with her, and when she was in Los Angeles, she basically lived here.

And Lily complained more than once.

The bathroom door opened, and Martin glanced at his phone, which contained a message from Chad and Marcus, and he said to Elizabeth, "I'm going out." ”

Elizabeth nodded.

When Martin got dressed and went out, she took out her phone and dialed Lily's number: "When are you coming back?" It's nothing important, I'm fine here, I'm calling you, I just want to tell you that I have a surprise for you, and I want to surprise Martin. ”

"Surprise? It can't be a scare, right? Lily felt Elizabeth had bad intentions: "Sounds like you're scheming on me!" ”

Elizabeth said: "Of course it's a surprise, my family doesn't lie to my family. ”

Lily has also been following entertainment news recently: "Before the Oscars, I always have to go back and congratulate that bastard on winning Best Actor." ”

Elizabeth cautioned: "Don't open champagne in the middle of the show. ”

Lily responded, "I understand. ”

Martin leaves Beverly Hills and heads to the Emirates Rock Theatre in the Hollywood area.

It has been renovated and prepared for the premiere.

Martin got out of the car and into the theater, where Marcus, Chad and Chen Hu were all there, as well as the Disney Studios distribution producers.

Marcus set up the display shelves and placed the promotional materials for "Lone Survivor".

This very politically correct film is about to be released.

Considering the characters and what variables Mark Wahlberg brings, the film was put on release in January.

Martin is the investor in the film, and Disney Studios cooperates with him, of course, he has the final say.

Marcus stood in front of the booth and said, "It's finally going to be released." ”

Martin patted him on the thick shoulder: "The pre-sale is good, and this movie will definitely make people remember what you have done." ”

The fat on Marcus' chin trembled a few times and said, "I invited their families over." ”

Martin basically doesn't care about these little things now, and Emily and Jessica are enough to handle the day-to-day management of Davis's studio.

After talking about "Lone Survivor", Chad came over to find Martin: "When you have time, go to the Angel Club, we have designed some new action routines. ”

Martin asked directly, "Will I be able to finish it?" ”

Chad smiled, "It's a little difficult. ”

Martin said casually: "You won't let me drive into space and hit a satellite, will you?" ”

"How so." Chad said: "It's just that there are more ways to combine hand-to-hand combat with pistol shooting, and we are shooting an action movie after all, not a science fiction movie." ”

Martin followed them to visit the layout of the premiere theater to make sure there were no problems, and then invited Chad, Chen Hu and Marcus to wash their faces together, and chatted about the preparations for "Fast and Furious 3" by the way.

When I am refreshed, I talk about creation, and my thoughts are like a spring.
