American fame and fortune

In Atlanta, Robert rushed back to the office from outside, turned on the TV and tuned to ABC. The Oscars red carpet live broadcast had already begun.

Jerome pushed open the door and came in, carrying a can of beer in his hand.

Robert took it and said, "The red carpet has begun."

Jerome asked: "What are the odds that Martin will win?"

Robert looked at the newly placed 2003 Coca-Cola on the old-fashioned wooden table and said, "Martin never called me for the ceremony in the first two Oscars. This time he made a special call."

Jerome knew that Robert was the high priest of the Coca-Cola Cult, and immediately nodded: "It seems that Martin is confident of winning."

Cheers suddenly came from the TV, followed by uniform shouts.

"Eternal Coca-Cola God! Eternal Coca-Cola God of War! Eternal Cult Leader Martin!"

The two saw Martin holding up a commemorative can of Coke on live TV and drinking with many members of the Coke Cult.

Jerome said: "I have never seen a spokesperson do what Martin does. In two life-and-death moments, Martin won with Coca-Cola. The publicity value is so great that no advertisement can compare!"

Robert nodded: "Martin deserves this lifelong spokesperson for Coca-Cola."

In front of the Kodak Theater, Martin held Elizabeth's hand and entered the media area together. He said a few words as usual and left quickly.

The recent period has been high-profile enough, so there is no need to show off here again.

When entering the lobby, Martin met Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey.

Downey directly opened his arms, hugged Martin, and said, "Man, congratulations."

Martin shook Susan's hand first, and then responded to Downey: "The results have not been announced yet, anything is possible."

Susan thought of four years ago and said, "Martin, you have developed so fast. In just the blink of an eye, you have become a superstar."

Martin said with a smile: "I have better luck."

Downey clenched his fists and bumped into Martin again: "You kid, how can people compete with you? It's not fair!"

Martin was helpless: "That's my bad luck."

Downey thought for a moment and realized that this was indeed the case. If Martin's skills were slightly weaker, there would probably be activities to mourn or commemorate Martin across the United States.

He has seen the scenery at the top and experienced the loneliness at the bottom. He is on his way back to the top. He has a good attitude and nodded and said, "You deserve all this."

Susan Downey rarely speaks. It is obvious that in front of outsiders, everything is dominated by Downey.

The four people entered the hall together. The two crews were far apart and quickly separated.

Martin took Elizabeth to the second row where the Dark Knight crew was. Nolan stood up and shook hands with him: "Completely recovered?"

The last time he visited Martin in the hospital, Martin was still an injured patient.

Martin smiled and nodded: "The Martin you are familiar with is really back."

Taking advantage of this opportunity to be hospitalized, Martin also got rid of his mental illness externally, and now he has fully recovered physically and mentally.

The crew's nominees for Best Editing and Best Sound Effects also came over to bump fists with Martin.

In fact, they all know that the person most likely to win the award tonight is Martin.

Nicholson and Leonardo came over one after another and were located next to Martin.

Leonardo saw Martin bouncing around again and deliberately said: "You bastard, you almost made Jack and I spend an extra sum of money to customize clothes!"

Martin was surprised: "What does this have to do with me?"

Nicholson responded: "Attend your bastard's funeral!"

Elizabeth looked at these three people strangely, confused about the friendship between men, especially the three idiots next to her who made all sorts of random jokes.

"There is nothing I can do. I rolled around at the door of hell, but Satan refused to let me in." Martin said seriously: "He said hell will accept everything except three things!"

Leonardo was very cooperative: "What three?"

Martin pointed at the two of them and himself, and said: "Nicholson, Leonardo, and Martin Davis! Because Satan is afraid that we will mess with him!"

The two old guys laughed.

Three bastards, hand in hand in the face of life and death, they are truly super best friends.

Nicholson added at this time: "The three bastards killed more than a dozen gun-wielding agents and terrorists, and their reputation spread throughout Hollywood!"

Leonardo raised his head, proud.

Without his 100 meters and 11 seconds, there would be no Nicholson's later condescending command, and Martin would not be able to kill those gangsters.

Martin also laughed: "With the three of us joining forces, even Satan wouldn't dare to stop us, let alone others!"

Leonardo answered: "Today Nicholson and I will be the presenters of awards."

Martin said: "Originally, I wanted to be the best picture award presenter, but recently I have had enough exposure, so I gave it to someone else."

Nicholson added: "There will be surprises later."

As they were talking, Kate Winslet came over, and Martin stood up and hugged her.

Kate glanced at Elizabeth and saw a sweet smile on her face. Her depressed mood due to marital problems instantly improved, and she said, "Your smile is brighter than the sunshine in Los Angeles."

Elizabeth smiled and said: "Thank you, Kate, you are my most admired actor. I was hopelessly obsessed with Ruth when I was a child."

Kate nodded slightly at her and said to Martin: "I wish you good luck tonight."

Not far away, Harvey Weinstein cast a concerned look and sighed to himself that Martin, that bastard, was so lucky that he was not killed and was a blessing in disguise.

Next to him, Georgina Chapman was also looking at Martin, her eyes sparkling.

Compared to the fat old man next to him, Martin looks like a real man.

Invite Martin to your house for a party another day?

Harvey turned around, but didn't notice anything unusual about his wife because his mind was on Martin.

Quentin's large-scale World War II movie was rejected by Martin. Harvey once considered using Big Book, but Big Book was trapped in the whirlpool and could not extricate himself.

Since Martin has been known for his accurate selection of films and roles in recent years, after the news of his rejection of Quentin's new work spread, several A-list actors received Harvey's invitations, but they were all vague, causing the project to progress very smoothly.

Harvey and Quentin even had Matt Damon audition, but Damon lacked the gangster energy needed for the lead role.

Thinking of the dilemma he faced and looking at Martin on the other side, Harvey felt even more unbalanced. If nothing else happened, Martin would win an Oscar tonight.

The music started playing, and with Hugh Jackman's appearance, the awards ceremony officially kicked off.

The male star, who is good at singing and dancing, gave a gorgeous opening song and dance performance, and ended his singing with the lyrics of "I am Wolverine".

Next to Martin, Nicholson and Leonardo got up and went backstage.

The latter specifically said: "The surprise is coming soon."

Martin had some speculation. There were rumors before that in order to save the declining ratings, the Academy made many innovations at this awards ceremony, such as the award presenters.

As in previous years, the first award was given to the Best Supporting Actress. This time, five presenters were invited to present the award.

The number of presenters who presented the awards varied, breaking the more rigid pattern of the past.

After Hugh Jackman teased the Santa Monica Pier shooting, it's time for the Best Supporting Actor award.

Martin sat upright, feeling a little nervous, but mostly looking forward to it.

Elizabeth gripped the edge of the seat tightly with her hands, even more nervous than Martin. She licked her red lips slightly and murmured: "God bless!"

At home in Beverly Hills, Lily, who was watching the live broadcast, had already stood up, then sat back on the sofa, laughing happily.

Because she saw the award presenters, and instead of the five for Best Supporting Actress, there were only two - Nicholson and Leonardo!

The eldest and second eldest of the bastard trio appeared together to present a Best Supporting Actor award!

These two people, either alone, are more than enough to serve as award guests for Best Picture, but together they presented Best Supporting Actor.

The answer is self-explanatory.

Nicholson took the lead and said: "Leo, the two of us together have three Oscar trophies. Tell us how you feel about the Oscars?"

Leonardo glared and frowned angrily: "Don't say we add up. It's obvious that you have three, but I don't!"

Nicholson pointed to the big screen behind him: "There's going to be a new acting Oscar winner soon."

Along with the movie clips playing on the big screen, Leonardo read: "The nominees for Best Supporting Actor are Josh Brolin, Philip Hoffman, Martin Davis, Robert Downey Jr. Ni…”

Nicholson opened the envelope, took out the card and placed it in front of the two of them.

Leonardo came over and said with him: "The winner is Martin Davis!"

Martin held his face in his hands, surprised and excited, and felt extremely comfortable. This feeling was so good!

Elizabeth opened her arms and hugged him hard.

Martin kissed her, stood up, and hugged Nolan and the rest of the crew.

The audience burst into extremely warm applause.

Angelina Jolie, whose seat was on the other side, stood up and applauded, and extended her hand to signal everyone around her to stand up.

The same goes for Aniston sitting in the middle.

Many guests in the front row stood up and applauded.

Martin strode towards the stage, hearing only applause in his ears.

More and more people stood up, as if driven by a wave, the audience in the back row also stood up.

When Martin reached the edge of the stage, the entire Kodak Theater stood up and applauded!

Martin walked onto the stage and took the heavy Oscar statuette from Leonardo.

Leonardo hugged him and patted his back so hard that it hurt Martin.

Nicholson smiled happily and watched the show.

In Atlanta, seeing Martin get the statuette, Robert and Jerome opened the champagne, poured a glass each, and clinked their glasses to celebrate.

At home in Beverly Hills, Lily jumped up, shouted, opened a bottle of wine, and drank.

At this moment, the Coca-Cola Company’s Martin Commemorative Edition Coke sold nationwide is sold out!
