American fame and fortune

In the newly decorated room of honor, Elizabeth handed the Oscar trophy to Martin and said, "Put it in with your own hands."

Martin opened a glass display case, placed the Oscar statuette inside the display case, and turned on the crystal lamp inside.

The light shines on the Oscar statuette, reflecting golden light.

Martin was extremely satisfied with the display cabinet effect and looked around at other display cabinets.

Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award trophies, as well as the Los Angeles Honorary Citizenship Gold Key, Martin Day's bronze certificate, Presidential Medal of Freedom, and more, are all stored in separate glass display cases.

The rest of the trophies, such as the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, Teen Choice Awards and British Academy Awards, can only share one display case.

During the recent awards season, Martin won at least twenty trophies for various awards, each with a separate display case, which is too extravagant.

Elizabeth came over and said, "Lily has ordered more than ten display cabinets, and most of them are in the storage room. I believe they will be used soon."

Martin said with a smile: "No matter what, I have to win an Oscar for Best Actor."

Elizabeth remembered something: "Isn't "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" going to the Cannes Film Festival in May? You should try to win a Cannes Best Actor."

Martin nodded: "I also hope that the French will take the initiative to cut their flags when they see me."

Elizabeth did not understand what this meant.

Lily entered the door at this time, heard Martin's words, and explained directly: "What Martin meant was that the French cut off both sides of their flag and waved the middle part to welcome him."

Elizabeth turned her head and looked at Lily, feeling a little strange.

Lily shrugged: "I've heard this kind of bad joke too many times."

Elizabeth said: "Martin is not Napoleon."

Lily started talking nonsense casually: "But he has been looking for Joan of Arc."

Elizabeth smiled and asked, "Have you found it?"

Martin pointed at her: "Isn't this it?"

Lily got down to business: "Thomas just called. About an hour later, he came to visit with Coca-Cola Global Marketing President Lamelas."

Martin left the honor room and went upstairs with Elizabeth to change into formal clothes.

Lily had to go to the college to attend classes, so she drove away directly.

Martin returned to the living room and took a look at the sales data of the commemorative Coca-Cola.

On Oscar night last night, the sales of commemorative Coke were extremely hot, and they were sold out throughout North America.

Before long, Thomas accompanied Lamelas into Martin's house.

The two sides met last time at the medical center, where Lamelas signed a lifetime endorsement agreement with Martin on behalf of the Coca-Cola Group.

"Congratulations, Martin." Lamelas said with a smile: "Finally won my first Oscar."

Martin was also very polite: "Without the support of Coca-Cola, I wouldn't be able to win this trophy."

Thomas interrupted at the right time: "Our cooperation is mutually beneficial and is God's will!"

Lamelas and Martin both laughed.

The former added: "The sales volume of the commemorative Coke is amazing. We have decided to expand the production scale and will also release a special edition Coke to coincide with your new movie "John Wick"."

Martin said: "I don't understand business, but I believe in Coca-Cola's market vision. You have proven it time and time again over the past 100 years."

Because Martin's commercial value is growing, it is more and more important for Coca-Cola to expand the market. After Martin won his first Oscar, Lameiras, a heavyweight in the Coca-Cola Group, came to congratulate him in person.

He didn't say those false things, and his congratulations were more practical: "Martin, you won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. According to our agreement, the US$2 million reward will be paid today."

Martin was not polite and said: "Our cooperation will achieve greater success in the future."

The two sides said some beautiful words, and Lamelas quickly left.

Martin saw him off and Thomas stayed.

After the two returned to the living room, Thomas added: "Cadillac and Cartier also called me to express their congratulations. It is estimated that the winning rewards will be transferred in the next few days."

Elizabeth was slightly surprised: "We don't have to spend our own money to win the award. Winning an Oscar will not only bring honors, but also cash rewards?"

"A total of 6 million US dollars." Martin said: "That's why we put so much effort into winning the prize."

Elizabeth nodded repeatedly: "If it were me, I would work hard to win the prize."

Thomas remembered the person he met and said, "Liz, your agent can't contact you. Please let me convey to her that you have time to go to the company. There is a role..."

"I'll come over in the afternoon." Elizabeth's ambition is not strong at all now: "I hope it's not a role that consumes too much time and energy."

Martin said directly: "If you like it, do it; if you don't like it, turn it down."

Elizabeth responded immediately: "I will."

Thomas looked at the time and said, "It's time for me to leave. I have to go to Warner Bros. in the afternoon to discuss your salary with Nolan's new crew. This time you won the Oscar and your salary can be increased by another US$3 million."

For most people who win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, their salary will only increase by US$1 million to US$2 million at most, but Martin is different. He has stronger commercial appeal.

The Oscars ceremony is over, but the media has not calmed down. The follow-up reports will bring another wave of dividends to many media.

There was very little controversy in this year's Oscars. According to media reports the day after Oscar night, it was recognized as the least suspenseful Oscars.

In the heavyweight awards, all the expected favorites got the statuette.

The Oscar special issue published by "Vanity Fair" specifically commented on the results of this year's Oscars, focusing on Martin.

"For his outstanding role as the Joker in "The Dark Knight," Martin Davis won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar this year. Will this be the beginning of reform in the Academy? In the past, no one has ever been able to win the Best Supporting Actor award for a superhero. Comic-book movies win Oscars for acting, but Martin wowed audiences and judges by bringing the characters from the comics to life!"

The Los Angeles Times' review of Martin's award was concise and concise: "Martin deserves the award for Best Supporting Actor!"

The Hollywood Reporter went straight to the essence: "This is not so much a victory for the Joker and the comic book movies, but a victory for Martin himself!"

Taking advantage of this wave of enthusiasm in the media, Warner Bros. made many moves in the next more than half a month.

First, in conjunction with the crew of "John Wick", a new movie poster was released. The poster specifically added the words "Oscar winner" after Martin's name.

This will more or less attract some people's attention.

But it is undeniable and the Academy is increasingly embarrassed that the influence of the Oscars on the film commercial market is shrinking every year.

Therefore, the college is determined to reform this year, hoping to regain its glory.

Then, Warner Bros. and Nolan jointly held a press conference to announce the official establishment of the new project. The theme is an original science fiction film. Martin was confirmed to play the leading role. The specific content and film name are temporarily kept secret.

This news also attracted widespread attention from movie fans.

"The Dark Knight" not only gave Martin all-you-can-eat fame and remuneration share, but also created a large number of Nolan fans.

These people are even crazier than celebrity fans. From last year to now, the three-way melee with "The Godfather" and "The Shawshank Redemption" has never stopped using IMDB ratings as the battlefield. The three films have taken turns to sit on the top 250 of IMDB's best films. At the top position.

What happened during this period even forced IMDB officials to modify the scoring rules several times.

Nolan promoted the new film project and continued to cooperate with Martin, which immediately attracted widespread attention.

In an apartment in West Hollywood, Elsa suddenly screamed. The scream was extremely miserable, as if she had encountered the greatest misfortune in her life.

Toni quickly ran to the bathroom and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Elsa cried and said: "Here it comes, the monthly thing has happened again." She cried very sadly: "I failed, failed!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll find another chance later." Toni comforted Aisha, but she was a little happy in her heart.

But she didn't show it. Instead, she said: "Don't be like this. You have done a good enough job. Even if you cannot give birth to Martin's child, you are still his best supporter. Otherwise, I will let you be the leader of the sister group. "

Elsa was somewhat distracted and said, "Really? Let me be the leader of the sister group."

Toni responded: "I will call everyone in the sister group soon and ask them to support you. I will not go to my party today so that you, the new group leader, can establish your authority."

Elsa wiped the tears from her eyes, quickly packed herself up, came over and hugged Toni hard: "You are my best sister!"

But Toni's belly was shrinking: "Elsa, you are also my best sister."

Aisha packed her things and was about to go out to attend the party, and asked again: "You really aren't going."

"I don't have time to participate." Toni took out her phone and shook it: "You heard this morning, my family called me and asked me to go back. I may have to stay at home for a while, and I won't participate in the next event. I'll call you again when the time comes."

Aisha said: "I can't bear to leave you."

Toni smiled and said, "It's not like I won't come back." She pointed to the electronic watch on the wall and reminded, "Go out quickly, or you'll be late if you don't leave."

Aisha picked up her bag and left quickly.

Toni carefully packed her things and prepared to leave West Hollywood, a place she would never return to.

Because her test was late for several days, she went to the hospital for a checkup and it was confirmed.

Toni succeeded and Elsa failed. How can a winner be with a loser?

The so-called deep love between sisters ceased to exist when Toni abandoned the other members of the sisterhood.

Toni carried her luggage twice, locked the door, said goodbye to the door, went downstairs, got into her car, and quickly drove out of West Hollywood and headed straight to Burbank.

She has rented an apartment in Burbank, where she will rest peacefully until she becomes pregnant.
