MTL - American Fame and Fortune-Chapter 803 Best Director and Best Picture

 Chapter 803 Best Director and Best Film

 “Thank you, thank you college!”

On the Oscar stage, David Fincher got his wish and won the Oscar for Best Director. He looked at the entrance to the stage leading to the backstage, where Martin was applauding.

After ten years of rushing to Olympus, he has finally reached the end and got the results he wanted. David Fincher is very excited: "Thank you Martin, you are the best partner! Thank you to my agent and every member of the crew." …”

  Nothing special. After the routine thank you speech, David Fincher entered the backstage amidst warm applause.

 He came to the entrance, opened his arms and hugged Martin, and said: "We horse riders have done it!"

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

David Fincher let go of Martin and couldn't help laughing. There is nothing more joyful than this in life.

He was about to walk in, but Martin held him back and motioned to the side with his eyes: "Wait a moment."

 Next to him, Nicholson, the best picture award presenter, was getting ready to go on stage. The strange thing was that he didn’t have an envelope with the answer in his hand.

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

Since Louise did not come, Nicholson awarded the Oscar statuettes directly to Martin and Graham.

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

It was a surprise to everyone in the Dolby Theater and in front of their television sets.

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

At the entrance to the backstage, Martin and David Fincher high-fived each other.

At the guest table, Graham brought the main creative staff of "Escape from Tehran" to the stage, and Martin and David Fincher also moved from the backstage to the stage.

Martin has been in this kind of limelight many times. He signaled to Graham and took the initiative to step aside.

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

The Jew was not embarrassed at all, and took the initiative to come over and said: "Tom and I were originally looking forward to you joining "Bridge of Spies"."

Martin doesn't know what Spielberg was thinking specifically, but the project was very risky in his eyes, and there was no way he would just take the money he had worked so hard to raise and pay others a high salary.

 Martin saw Spielberg again.

The answer in the envelope was no surprise. She announced directly: "The Oscar for best picture is "Escape from Tehran."

 Graham delivered an acceptance speech on behalf of the crew.

This represents the greatest artistic affirmation in Hollywood, and will inevitably increase commercial income in the future.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems normal. Hollywood has always been closely connected with politics, and it is also the home base of die-hard supporters of the Donkey Party.

 Even if the result is expected, it still makes people happy when the answer comes.

Backstage, the winners holding the heavyweight statuettes, under the arrangement of the Academy, stood in front of the huge Oscar statue for a group photo.

The method of awarding the awards was unexpected. After the award presenter Nicholson read out the list of nominations, the big screen video suddenly changed and the screen switched to the White House!

 "Escape from Tehran" became the biggest winner tonight, winning four awards: Best Editing, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director and Best Film.

 The last award tonight will be announced soon.

Even, in the end, the director and the leading actor made a lot of money, but the movie lost money.

“There’s nothing I can do.” Martin looked helpless: “My agent and people around me objected, thinking that I shouldn’t play a role other than the absolute protagonist. They were afraid of causing a chain reaction.”

Spielberg couldn't force it: "It's such a pity. Let's wait for the next opportunity."

 Martin shook hands with him: "Let's wait until we have another chance."

　　After taking a photo together, 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 vigorously. David Fincher drank too much and came over with a large glass of wine. Under the heckles of Leonardo and Nicholson, he insisted on drinking with Martin.

 A group of winners were laughing and having fun.

Jennifer Lawrence was pulled over by Nicholson and asked to give a special toast to Martin: "Without Martin, you wouldn't have won this Best Actress award."

 Martin had a drink with Jennifer Lawrence and said, "Don't listen to this **** Jack. Apart from awarding you the statuette, nothing else has anything to do with me."

"Why doesn't it matter?" Nicholson said specifically: "I helped Jennifer win the prize this year, using the method you taught me."

 He whispered: "Your performance is worth the prize."

 This is what Martin guessed when he looked at the list of nominees for Best Actress.

 He ​​has a bad feeling. It won’t be long before comparing one person to another is a mainstream method of Oscar public relations.

 The general election can be compared poorly, why can’t the Oscars?

After drinking for a while, David Fincher held the Best Director statuette, sat next to Martin, and said: "I have something to tell you in advance. Netflix and I will jointly hold a press conference in two days to announce A matter of full cooperation.”

  Martin understood what he meant: "I have been prepared for it, so it will not have any impact." He laughed: "I am also preparing to sign a cooperation agreement with Netflix."

David Fincher said: "Academics look down on Netflix. I guess I will be insulated from Oscars in the future."

"Not necessarily." Martin remembered that in a few years, there would be many A-list directors and stars in Hollywood cooperating with Netflix, and it would even be common: "Now society is developing rapidly, and Internet on-demand websites are becoming a new force. The trend will change. Maybe the public opinion in the circle will change."

 David Finch asked: “How?”

 Martin said: "It's good to make money, not to be shabby."

David Fincher couldn't help laughing and said: "Didn't you take my director's notes? Do you want to practice?"    Martin did think about it and said: "I have no talent in this area, 伱, Director Nolan and Director Scott both have the same view, so I plan to try out a small project with low investment, very simple plot scenes, and little actor interaction. If I mess up, I won’t lose much money.”

“That’s a way.” David Fincher took the initiative to invite: “If I have the right opportunity, I will take out a separate episode and let you direct it, and you can practice your skills at the same time.”

 Martin is very clever: "Aren't you afraid that I will mess it up?"

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

Martin believes in this: "I will practice my skills first and I have already found the actors."

Last time, he briefly discussed with Blake Lively and asked the latter to increase his activity on the Internet.

David Fincher had another drink with Martin: “If you encounter any problems, you can call me at any time.”

 “I will.” Martin drank the wine in the glass.

 In the middle of the party, David Fincher called to his house to continue the celebration.

 Martin and Charlize Theron also went there, and soon left together to return to Beverly Hills.

Arrived at the North District of Sunset Boulevard, Charlize said to Martin: "You go home first."

 Martin was puzzled and asked, "Aren't you going to go to your place?"

Charlize said: "Don't go directly to my place, you go home first, and then I will put the overpass over, and you can come over from the overpass."

 “What’s so troublesome?” Martin was too lazy to climb over the wall.

But Charlize said: "You have to climb over the wall to feel it. It's exciting to make trouble like this."

 Martin couldn't help but look her over: "You are getting better and better at playing."

 “I learned from you.” Charlize urged Martin to go home quickly.

 Back home, Martin took a shower first and changed his clothes. When he came to the wall near Charlize's house, the overpass with escalators had already been set up.

 The feeling of the old horse next door came instantly.

Martin climbed up the escalator, climbed over the wall, and found that the lights in Charlize's yard were not turned on, and only the light came from the villa.

This atmosphere is very exciting.

Like a thief, Martin walked across the yard with light steps, came to the window of the villa, and looked inside.

 Charlize was wearing a gold one-shoulder dress and walking towards the window on high heels.

　　The South African beauty wearing clothes is definitely the top dresser in Hollywood. Her body shape, temperament and appearance are all top choices.

 Charlize had already seen Martin outside the window. He stepped a little faster, held up the sling with his hand, and pulled it to the side.

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

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

When Martin went upstairs, he turned around and took another look. There were also photos of the two people beside the stairs and at the corner.

This is really like running into someone else's house and doing something secretly.

Martin thought of the actors in his previous life, among whom there was a super boss who always entered other people's homes and had heart-to-heart conversations with the baby's mother in photos.

At that time, Martin didn’t really understand.

Now he understood the feeling.

 The combat power is doubled.

On Oscar night, there was a commotion outside. Martin and Charlize hid in the mansion and played poker for half the night under a huge 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 people who were sleeping soundly were awakened by the ringing of their mobile phones.

 Charlize pressed the hang up button without even looking.

 But the call came again.

 Martin said: "Who is so unethical!"

 Charlize took the phone, looked at it, and said, "Stewart Townsend."

She suddenly remembered what she had said to Martin yesterday, got up, went to the bedroom window, and answered the phone: "Are you okay?"

 “Hey, Sally, can we talk?” the person over there said pleadingly.

 Charlize said without pretense: "There is something to say."

She pressed her hand on the window sill and waved to Martin behind her.

Of course Martin understood and strode over.

 Charlize continued to respond to calls.

After a while, the phone hung up, and Charlize said: "He insisted on coming over."

 Martin was also infected by Charlize: "Since I brought it to my door, I will do as I said yesterday."
