Chapter 291 Oscar Presenters
Behind the long bar in the living room of the villa, Louise took matters into her own hands, mixed a cup of expansion screws for Martin, and placed it in front of him.
Martin picked it up, took a sip, and said, "The skills have improved a lot."
"It doesn't taste as good as the wine you mixed." Louise raised her long eyebrows: "I still remember the penicillin you mixed for me in Atlanta. It tasted so wonderful that it healed an alcoholic's soul."
Martin understood what this meant, went behind the bar, picked up a brand new cocktail shaker, and mixed a glass of penicillin.
Louis picked it up and took a sip. The wine flowed through every taste bud, stimulating people's nerves, as if something was exploding in the mouth.
She slowly closed her eyes, felt it carefully, and said: "The swelling and pungency are like a giant thing suddenly stuffed in, but the next moment it becomes round, mellow and sweet, and the swelling and impact are as exciting as before!"
Martin picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Louise: "As long as you like it."
Louis leaned on the bar and said: "I am nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. With your current fame and influence, the quality of the role and the film are guaranteed. If you are willing to invest resources, there is still a chance."
She asked: "I asked you to bring those people's address books, did you take them?"
Martin opened his bag, took out his address book, and handed it to Louise.
The records here are all the contact information left by the parents of the people he saved during the Burbank Middle School incident.
Louise looked through it carefully, circled two people, and pointed them out to Martin: "This person was promoted to the deputy editor-in-chief of The Hollywood Reporter at the end of last year. This newspaper is second to none in influence in the industry. Ask Thomas to contact him. ”
Moving on to the next one: "This is a senior executive of the Screen Actors Guild, a main member of the Screen Actors Guild Awards Nomination Committee. He has the power to recommend actors for nomination, that is, he can write your name into the short list, and then the Nomination Committee votes to decide the nomination. or not.”
Burbank Middle School is a top-ranked private middle school in California. The families of its students are not ordinary. Its location also determines that it is closely related to the media and entertainment industry.
Martin followed Louise's words and asked: “Is it directly related to the Oscar nomination?”
“Closely related.” Louise said: “The backbone members of the union are basically members of the Film Academy, that is, the Oscar judges. If you are nominated by the Screen Actors Guild, your chances of getting an Oscar nomination are much higher.”
Louise circled a few more people: "These are also people in the industry. Don't use them for the time being. It's your first time competing for awards. The crew's focus is not on your role. The chance of winning is very low. This kind of favor will be gone after one use." I'll wait until the critical moment to use it.”
Louise has more experience in this area, and Martin listens to her opinion.
Pacific Pictures will also mobilize their connections appropriately to get nomination votes for Martin.
Martin toasted to Louise again: "With your guidance, the fog of the road ahead has cleared and it suddenly becomes clear."
Louise felt the impact of the penicillin in her mouth, and after a while she said: "Then stay with me tonight."
Martin glanced at his watch: "There are still two and a half hours until dinner time. You can do whatever you want, and I will accompany you until the end."
Louise tilted her head and looked at Martin: "Girlfriend?"
"Blake is very cheerful and doesn't ask for much from me." Martin picked up the wine glass again: "When she is in Los Angeles, just don't stay up all night."
Louise jumped onto the bar.
She had finished drinking the penicillin, which could cure alcohol addiction. She wanted to taste the penicillin, which could heal the soul.
Her temperature suddenly rose and she needed a fever-reducing injection.
At about five o'clock, Martin drove out of Louise's house and saw Elizabeth Olsen again.
She was taking her dog down from the park on the mountain.
Martin is extremely tough now and has little interest in sweet girls and beautiful girls. There is a distance between the two sides, so he drives away directly.
“Potato, it seems to be Martin's car.” Elizabeth said to Golden Retriever: “He didn't see us?”
The golden retriever barked a few times.
Elizabeth took the dog and crossed the road and entered the house.
The two sisters have returned.
Mary Olson waved her over and asked: "Liz, do you really want to enter the entertainment industry?"
Elizabeth thought of Blake Lively and responded: "I also want to be a star."
Mary said: "This road is not easy."
Ashley Olson said the opposite: "It's much less difficult than entering an unfamiliar industry."
The descendants of Hollywood practitioners are still working in Hollywood or surrounding industries because the previous generation laid a certain foundation.
Mary was not very old, but she understood this truth and said, "Okay then."
Elizabeth immediately asked: "Have you found the right role?"
"You are an inexperienced newcomer." Mary reminded: "It's not that easy."
Elizabeth said: “I have appeared in two movies in the 1990s. I have been the most important member of the school theater group in these years. I participate in the Coty Community Theater Company at least twice a year...”
Mary broke her fantasy: "Things are not as simple as you think. Your sisters don't have the ability to make you rise to the top in one step."
Ashley brought over several job advertisements and placed them in front of Mary.
Mary said: "These are advertising contracts, jobs I can help you get." "Okay, I will work hard." Elizabeth has the fantasy of a girl of this age, but she has also seen the reality and cruelty of the world. Look carefully at the job posting.
It's all advertising contracts.
The first one was an advertisement for a cosmetics brand, then it was for Green Arrow chewing gum…
When it came to the third copy, Elizabeth picked it up and read it carefully word for word.
CocCola's advertising recruitment is looking for a model or actress under the age of 20 to play the role of the saint next to the leader of the CocCola cult. She is required to have a beautiful appearance and an infectious smile...
Elizabeth asked: "Is Mary, the saint of this advertisement, starring with the Patriarch?"
“That's right, CocCola's annual commercial this year.” Ashley knew more and took over: “The character of the saint in this commercial is starring alongside Martin Davis.”
Elizabeth thought about last year. If it hadn't been for Martin, there was a 99% chance that she would have died at Burbank Middle School like those victims.
At that time, she seemed to be falling into hell, and Martin was the only light.
If someone asked Elizabeth if she believed in light, she would definitely say I believe in light.
Although it has faded a bit now, the scene at that time seems to be imprinted in my mind.
Elizabeth picked out CocCola's job advertisement and said, “Sister, help me get this job, okay?”
Mary took it, looked at it and said, "It should be fine."
Elizabeth smiled very sweetly, and kissed each of her two sisters: "I love you!"
Ashley smiled: "If I can't get it, does that mean I hate you?"
“Let's go, Tudou, go help me rehearse the play.” Elizabeth called the golden retriever to go upstairs, and waved to her sisters: “I will always love you.”
On the way back to the Coty community, Martin called Thomas and sent him the contact information of the two people. He had to handle the details.
Agents are good at interpersonal relationships.
The 78th Academy Awards ceremony has not yet begun, and Martin is already preparing for the next Oscar.
The crew of "The Departed" also kicked off their awards race early, securing opportunities for Leonardo, Nicholson and Martin to be on the red carpet at this Oscars.
Among them, Jack Nicholson will serve as the award guest for the best film.
ˆ With the operation of WMA and the award ceremony's advertising sponsor CocCola, Martin will not only be able to walk on the red carpet, but also serve as the award guest for the best documentary.
As for Leonardo, there is no need at all. He only needs to stand on the red carpet and he will be the focus of the audience.
Martin can also take a female companion with him when he goes to the Oscars red carpet.
It must be Blake Lively, the public girlfriend.
With a week to go before the awards show, Blake has instituted a strict diet plan.
Martin looked over it roughly, measured Blake's figure inch by inch with his hands, and said, "It's good enough, there's no need to torture yourself like this."
Blake came to the full-length mirror and carefully looked at the blonde beauty inside. She had an amazing figure, but she was still not satisfied: "It's not perfect yet."
Martin pointed at the schedule: "You're going to have a hard time in the coming week."
Blake said: "I consulted a professional nutritionist and bodybuilder, who serves as a consultant for many big-name stars. After Charlize Theron won the Best Actress, she strictly followed her menu and exercise plan to lose weight. And since I am young and have a fast metabolism, the menu size is twice as much as that of women in their late thirties.”
Martin knows that all female stars are crazy when it comes to pursuing their figure.
With this menu, Blake only eats two meals a day, two hard-boiled eggs for each meal, a few almonds for breakfast, and some vitamin supplements for dinner.
Do not drink water on the day of the award ceremony to avoid water swelling and protruding belly.
Martin has been on red carpets in the past, so he pays a little attention to his diet that day.
Blake comforted him: "I'm still young, so there will be no problem. Don't worry, I won't take too extreme measures."
She paused briefly and then added: "Some people use a more exaggerated method for the award ceremony, called intravenous injection. They take in the necessary vitamins through intravenous injection and do not eat at all during this preparation period..."
“Redness is temporary, but health is forever.” Martin said specifically: “Dear, promise me, no matter what happens in the future, you won't use extreme methods.”
Blake nodded: "I will remember it."
Martin glanced at his watch: "Let's go, let's go see the dress."
Blake said: "I don't have a sponsored brand for the time being, so just rent a dress."
"The rental effect is not good and it cannot show your beauty." Martin led her out: "The top-notch women's dresses are disposable items and you can't take them off once you put them on."
Jewellery can be rented, but if the dress is not sponsored, it is better to buy it.
Martin himself doesn't have to worry. Armani has proactively contacted WMA and will provide him with men's suits.
