"Thank you, thank you Academy!"

On the Oscar stage, David Fincher got his wish and won the Oscar for Best Director, and he saw standing at the entrance to the backstage of the stage, where Martin was applauding.

After 10 years of racing the Olympic road, and now that he has finally reached the finish line and got the result he wants, David Fincher is excited: "Thank you Martin, you are the best partner! Thank you to my agent, thank you to every member of the crew and team ......"

Nothing special, after the routine thank-you speech, David Fincher went backstage to a round of applause.

He came to the entrance, hugged Martin with open arms, and said, "We did it!" ”

Martin patted him on the back: "Perfect ending." ”

David Fincher let go of Martin and couldn't help but laugh, there is nothing more enjoyable in life than this.

He was about to go inside, but Martin grabbed him and gestured to the side with his gaze: "Wait a minute." ”

Right next to him, Best Picture award guest Nicholson was getting ready to play, and strangely he didn't have an envelope with the answer in his hand.

David Fincher certainly knows that the crew still has an extremely important award to compete for.

The director gave the order, and Nicholson smiled at Martin and quickly stepped onto the stage.

The last prize tonight will be announced.

The way of awarding the award was unexpected, after the award presenter Nicholson read out the list of nominations, the video on the big screen suddenly changed, and the picture switched to the White House!

All the audience in front of the Dolby Theater and the TV were very surprised.

But if you think about it, it feels normal, Hollywood has always been closely related to politics, and it is the stronghold of the hardcore supporters of the Donkey Party.

"Escape from Tehran" has been associated with the White House in various ways since the preview stage.

On the big screen, in the press room of the White House, First Lady Michelle held a classic Oscar envelope, accompanied by several daughters, slowly walked to the camera and opened the envelope.

The answer in the envelope was unambiguous, and she directly announced: "The best picture at the Oscar is "Escape from Tehran". ”

Backstage, at the entrance, Martin and David Fincher high-fived each other.

Even if the outcome is expected, it is still happy when the answer appears.

This represents Hollywood's greatest artistic affirmation, as well as the inevitable surge in commercial income in the later period.

At the guest seats, Graham took the stage with the main creative crew of "Escape from Tehran", and Martin and David Fincher also moved from the backstage to the stage.

Since Louise didn't come, Nicholson awarded the Oscars directly to Martin and Graham.

This kind of limelight, Martin has been out many times, signaled to Graham, and took the initiative to step aside.

Graham delivered an acceptance speech on behalf of the crew.

"Escape from Tehran" emerged as the biggest winner of the night, taking home four awards for Best Editing, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director and Best Picture.

Back backstage, the winners of the heavyweight statuettes stood in front of the huge Oscar statues under the arrangement of the academy and took a group photo.

Martin saw Spielberg again.

The Jew was not embarrassed at all, and took the initiative to come over and say, "Tom and I were both expecting you to join Bridge of Spies. ”

Martin didn't know exactly what Spielberg thought, but the project was very risky in his eyes, and he couldn't go and take the money he had worked so hard to raise and pay others a lot of money.

Even, in the end, it turned out that the director and the actor made a lot of money, but the movie lost money.

"I can't help it." Martin looked helpless: "The agent and the people around me are against it, thinking that I shouldn't play a role other than the absolute protagonist, they are afraid of causing a chain reaction." ”

Spielberg couldn't force it: "It's a pity, then wait for the next chance." ”

Martin shook his hand: "Wait until we get another chance." ”

After a group photo, Martin and the crew of "Escape from Tehran" went straight to the Hilton Hotel to attend the "Oscar Night" party.

In the hotel banquet hall, the crew celebrated, David Fincher drank too much, came over with a large glass of wine, and was coaxed by Leonardo and Nicholson to have a drink with Martin.

A bunch of winners giggle and mess around.

Jennifer Lawrence was pulled over by Nicholson and asked her to give Martin a special toast: "You can't win this Best Actress without Martin." ”

Martin had a drink with Jennifer Lawrence and said, "Don't listen to Jack, this bastard, I have nothing to do with anything other than giving you the little golden man." ”

"Why is it okay?" Nicholson specifically said: "This year, I helped Jennifer win the award, using the method you taught. ”

He whispered, "Yours is a big prize." ”

Martin looked at the list of nominees for Best Actress and guessed this.

He has a bad feeling, and it won't be long before it becomes a mainstream way of Oscar public relations.

The Commander-in-Chief's election can be compared to bad, why can't the Oscars?

After drinking for a while, David Fincher sat next to Martin with the best director statuetin in his arms and said: "I will tell you something in advance, Netflix will hold a joint press conference with me in two days to announce the full cooperation." ”

Martin understood what he meant: "I've been prepared for a long time, and it won't make a difference." He laughed: "I'm also going to sign a cooperation agreement with Netflix." ”

David Fincher said: "The academy doesn't look down on Netflix, and I guess I'll be insulated from Oscar in the future." ”

"Not necessarily." Martin remembers that in a few years, there will be many first-line directors and stars in Hollywood and Netflix, and even generally: "Now that society is developing rapidly, Internet on-demand websites are becoming a new force, and the wind direction will change, and maybe public opinion in the circle will change at that time." ”

David Fincher asked, "How?" ”

Martin said: "It's hard to make money, don't chill. ”

David Fincher couldn't help but laugh and said, "Didn't you take my director's codex?" Do you want to do it? ”

Martin did think about it and said: "I don't have talent in this area, Director Ling, Director Nolan and Director Scott all have the same opinion, so I plan to try a small project with low investment, very simple plot scenes, and little actor interaction, and I can't lose much money if I mess up." ”

"It's a way." David Fincher took the initiative to invite: "If the opportunity is right on my side, I will take out a separate episode, and you will direct it, and practice by the way." ”

Martin is very pressing: "You're not afraid that I'll mess up?" ”

David Fincher thought about it: "It's okay, I'll match you with an experienced assistant director, your fame and appeal are here, with Netflix's style of doing things, there will definitely be no opinions." ”

Martin believes this: "I practice my hands first, and I have found all the actors." ”

Last time he had a brief discussion with Blake Lively and asked him to increase his online presence.

David Fincher had another glass with Martin: "If you have a problem, you can call me anytime." ”

"I will." Martin drank the contents of the glass.

Halfway through the party, David Fincher called to his house to continue the celebration.

Martin and Charlize Theron also made a trip and soon left together again, returning to Beverly Hills.

Arriving at Sunset Boulevard North, Charlize said to Martin, "You go home first." ”

Puzzled, Martin asked, "Not going to you?" ”

Charlize said, "Don't go directly to me, you go home first, and then I'll put the overpass over, and you come over the overpass." ”

"What's going on here?" Martin was too lazy to go over the wall.

Charlize said: "You can only feel it when you come over the wall, and it will be exciting to make a fuss like this." ”

Martin couldn't help but look at her: "You're getting taller and taller." ”

"I learned from you." Charlize urged Martin to hurry home.

Back at home, Martin took a shower and changed his clothes, and when he came to the fence near Charlize's house, the bridge with an escalator had been erected.

The feeling of the old horse next door came instantly.

Martin climbed up the escalator and climbed over the wall to find that the lights in Charlize's yard were not on, only the light was shining from the side of the villa.

This atmosphere is very emotional.

Like a thief, Martin walked lightly through the courtyard to the villa window and looked inside.

Charlize wore a blonde one-shoulder dress and stepped on high heels towards this window.

The South African diamonds that are worn are definitely the top clothes racks in Hollywood, and the shape, temperament and appearance are all the best choices.

Charlize had already seen Martin outside the window, his feet quickened slightly, his hand propped up the sling, and pulled it to the side.

Martin pushed the window open with all his might, put his hand on it, jumped straight in, strode over, and carried the person upstairs.

On the wall of the living room, there is also a photo of Charlize Theron and Stuart Towndend.

When Martin went upstairs, he turned his head and looked again, and there was also a photo of the two people next to the stairs and around the corner.

It's really like running to someone else's house and sneaking around what they're going to do.

Martin thought of the cast group in his previous life, in which there was a super boss who always touched other people's homes and made friends with Xiaobao's mother under a group photo.

At that time, Martin was particularly incomprehensible.

Now he understands the feeling.

Combat power has doubled.

On Oscar night, there was a hustle and bustle outside, Martin and Charlize hid in the mansion and played poker for half the night under a huge group photo.

Martin also personally verified that Charlize, who has long hair and adjusted body muscles, does not look like a white version of Tyson when viewed from behind.

The next morning, the two were woken up by the ringing of their mobile phones.

Charlize didn't even look at it, and pressed the hang up button.

But the call came again.

Martin said: "Who is so unethical! ”

Charlize took his phone and looked at it and said, "Stuart Townsend." ”

She suddenly remembered what she had said to Martin yesterday, got up and went to the bedroom window, and answered the phone: "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

"Hey, Sally, can we have a good talk?" The man over there said with a pleading.

Charlize did not mince words: "There is something to say." ”

She pressed her hand against the windowsill and beckoned to Martin behind her.

Martin, of course, understood, and strode over.

Charlize continued to respond to the call.

After a while, the phone hung up, and Charlize said, "He has to come." ”

Martin was also infected by Charlize: "Since I sent it to the door, I will do what I said yesterday." ”
