American fame and fortune

Chapter 894 Come on, let’s fight

Canada, Alberta.

Four orange-red snowmobiles passed through the vast snowfield and entered a holiday camp.

The person in the lead car asked. The car was filled with special kerosene and left the camp towards the nearby forest.

More than half an hour later, the snowmobile stopped in a valley.

In one of the cars, Nicholson handed Martin a pair of sunglasses and said, "Put them on to protect your eyes."

Martin tightened the zipper of his cold-weather suit, put on his sunglasses, jumped out of the car first, turned back and stretched out a hand to help Nicholson down.

When the old bastard stood firm, he said: "Be careful, it's cold and slippery here. Just wait in Los Angeles and suffer the consequences of going to a place like this."

Nicholson said: "We have to give Leo a moral boost. Look at the current environment. If we don't encourage Leo, this bastard will go crazy."

The two stepped on the snow with a crunching sound, approaching the location where the crew of "The Revenant" was located.

The crew was about to start filming. A production manager took Martin and Nicholson to the trailer parking area and invited them to climb up the ramp to the roof of a car so that they could watch the filming from a high vantage point.

The set was on the edge of the forest. Martin and Nicholson stood on a high ground and had an unobstructed view of the situation over there.

Next to a huge maple tree, Leonardo was wearing a fur coat stained with blood, his dirty hair was twisted into countless knots, and half of his face was covered with makeup, making it impossible to see his original appearance.

This outfit, if nothing else, sold poorly.

The shooting was about to begin. Martin sat on a chair, opened the bag he had brought, took out a thermos cup, and handed it to Nicholson.

He took another one and drank hot tea while watching Leonardo's performance.

It was a bloody scene. Leonardo took out his knife, cut the steaming fresh beef into small strips, threw it into his mouth and ate it.

Perhaps the performance was not up to par, two pieces of beef were eaten, the director shouted stop, and Leonardo had to start over.

During several shootings, Leonardo ate six or seven pieces of raw beef alone.

During a break in filming, Martin said softly: "I've never seen Leo work so hard."

"He won the Oscar for Best Actor once, and he didn't want to fight so hard." Nicholson took a sip of hot tea, feeling his cold body feel warm, and said, "In order to beat you, he chose Such a project, such a miserable role, I deliberately avoided this year.”

"Maybe he can win another Oscar." Martin is not sure whether Leonardo, who already has an Oscar for Best Actor, can win another statuette with "The Revenant."

However, this character does fit the temperament of the Oscar Tragedy Society.

Martin remembers very clearly that in his previous life, Leonardo won the Oscar for Best Actor during this awards season. It was probably due to his own influence. The film "The Revenant" will not be released until next year's awards season.

After a while, the filming came to an end. Leonardo came out of the set, was reminded by his assistant, and waved to where Martin and Nicholson were.

The weather is too cold and there are snowflakes floating, so the crew has finished work early today.

Martin and Nicholson entered Leonardo's rest trailer and waited for a while. Leonardo, who had taken off his makeup and changed clothes, came over from the makeup trailer next door.

Seeing his two best friends, Leonardo closed the car door and said, "I'm so damned. I almost tortured myself to death by choosing such a movie."

Martin looked him over and said, "I see you are in good condition."

"Are you in good condition? God, Martin, do you still have a conscience?" Leonardo went to get a bottle of water to rinse his mouth. After rinsing it several times, he said: "Do you know what I ate just now? Raw beef. ah!"

Nicholson exposed his background: "With the current level of prop production in Hollywood, it is easy to make some substitutes, but you choose to eat real raw meat. Why?"

Martin automatically answered: "This is a hot spot for publicity. When the film is released, it can be used as a sideshow to promote the film. When the awards season comes, it can also tell the judges that I have paid too much for this role!"

Leonardo frowned, glared and roared: "I have paid so much, why can't I use it for publicity? You two know that I am an environmentalist and I am a vegetarian every day..."

Before he finished speaking, Martin and Nicholson's eyes were all on his bulging belly, and the sarcasm in their eyes and mouth almost jumped out.

Leonardo is as thick-skinned as Martin: "Don't look at me like that, am I an open lacto-ovo vegetarian? For the performance, I eat beef now! Or eat it raw, I have paid so much , can’t you ask for something in return?”

Martin laughed: "You eat meat and suffer. You are justified."

Leonardo put his hands in front of the two bastards, and patted his face with one hand: "Look, it's covered with frostbite and small cracks blown by the cold wind. I don't have to be miserable at all, because I'm miserable." !”

"What a miserable billionaire," Nicholson said.

As the attack and ridicule weren't strong enough, Martin added: "The billionaire who was abandoned by his true love Giselle!"

Leonardo was so angry that he didn't want to speak.

The three sparred with each other for a while and followed the crew back to a nearby resort.

Winter is the peak tourist season here, and there are ski resorts nearby.

Nicholson was old and had no interest in skiing, and Martin didn't want him to have an accident in the ice and snow, so he stayed with him on the set.

The filming environment of the crew is indeed bad. Leonardo doesn't have to sell himself, but it's really miserable.

Every day, Leonardo has to film hard in the wind and snow, with a frosted face and messy hair like weeds.

At the dinner party in the evening, Martin also reminded him: "Let someone film the whole process of your filming, so that it can be more touching."

"I always have people filming." As he said this, Leonardo looked at the steak in front of Martin and Nicholson and said, "Can you have some morality and throw away all the beef? I want to vomit when I smell the beef now."

This is the sequelae of filming. Nicholson will not indulge him. He said: "Delicious and juicy steak is my favorite. How can I change it? You have to understand the appetite of the old man."

Leonardo knew that it was good that the two bastards on the opposite side did not add insult to injury, so he simply changed the subject and asked Martin: "You want to hit the second Oscar for Best Actor with "Split" this year. I heard that the award season was not very calm at the beginning. Many people Want to make trouble. "

Martin looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he said, "It's not that many people want to make trouble, but the African Americans and monsters in the circle are making trouble."

Leonardo has been here for a while and doesn't know much about the situation in Los Angeles. He asked, "Are they jumping out to make trouble again?"

"The sequelae of the last session." Martin briefly said, "Because no black people were nominated for major individual awards in the last session, just entering November, African Americans such as Spike Lee and the Smiths announced a boycott of next year's Oscars ceremony, asking the Academy to reform and improve the diversity of the Oscars and the Academy."

Nicholson said directly, "These stinky shits never think about the work, and they make trouble first."

Leonardo asked, "Is it effective?"

Martin Answer: "The Academy is committed to diversity reform."

Leonardo suddenly laughed happily, pointed at Martin and said: "You bastard are in trouble!"

Martin shook his head: "It's not as complicated as you think. I have already made preparations. Do you think I am just rushing for the award alone? There are other aspects to cooperate."

Nicholson was surprised and asked Martin: "I know that you have been conspiring with the Academy Executive Committee at the beginning of this year. Is there any inside information that I don't know?"

Leonardo said: "It started at the beginning of the year."

Martin said: "To be precise, it started when I noticed the project of "Split". Let me think about it carefully. It should be almost three years, right? At that time, I was shooting "The Town" in Boston. By chance, I learned about Billy Milligan. , I was planning to win an Oscar at that time, and then I contacted Jennifer Aniston, whose Plan B had a film project. ”

Nicholson heard Martin mention: "That African-American film, called "Moonlight"? ”

Martin said: "It's not just an African-American film, it also involves homosexual and transgender elements."

He added: "By the way, "Moonlight" has already started previews in Los Angeles and New York, and the media and professional reputation are very good."

Hearing these words, even with Leonardo's status, he took a breath of cold Canadian air: "The Academy is going to carry out diversity reforms, and Plan B throws out such a movie, and the reputation is still very good. How can people play with this?"

Nicholson asked: "Aren't you afraid that the Best Actor will fall into the hands of this movie?"

Martin smiled: "The Academy has to appease the African-Americans who have been making trouble for several sessions, and also show its determination to reform in diversity. What award is more suitable than the Best Picture? "

Nicholson, the mascot of the Oscars, naturally understood the reason and nodded slightly.

Leonardo said: "This crew will be ambitious."

"Jennifer Aniston has the final say on the film." Martin said directly: "When I return to Los Angeles tomorrow, I will have a good talk with Aniston and persuade her to focus her resources on the best film."

He has done something similar once.

Isn't it just driving two cars at the same time? Martin thinks it is not a problem.

Jolie and Aniston together, as long as he puts a little thought into it, Julie will rebel.

Leaving Albert and returning to Los Angeles, Martin immediately asked Aniston to meet in the hotel room.

As expected, Julie came with Aniston.

In front of the window, Martin basked in the warm sun of Los Angeles and said to Aniston: "Here comes a good opportunity to win the Oscar for Best Picture."

Aniston is one of the opinion leaders of MiTu. She has long smelled the unusual atmosphere in the circle and the academy, and said: "Moonlight Boy is too in line with the current needs of the Oscars! "

Julie poked her gently.

Aniston came back to her senses and asked Martin: "You don't want to seek the Best Picture, do you?"

Martin said: "Split" is indeed going for an Oscar."

Aniston stood up and took off her coat without saying a word: "Come on, fight, it's still the old rules, whoever wins has the final say."

She looked at Julie: "Slut, don't sit there, come and help!"

Julie smiled at Martin: "I'm willing to help with this kind of help! Jane, today we will let Martin see the results of our recent hard work in fitness."

Aniston knew that there would be this battle today, so she has been working out for this reason, especially squatting.

It is to defeat the devil and win the initiative of the Oscar.

There are many ways to compete for Oscars, and Martin and Aniston fully interpreted the artistic content.

The latter plan was very good, but it was a pity that it could not keep up with the changes.

When the prize hunt came to an end, Aniston was defeated again.

Martin once again got the initiative to choose between competitors.

Jolie helped Aniston rehydrate.

Aniston's empty mind gradually came to her senses.

She looked at Martin and was dejected for a moment: "I lost again. I am willing to admit defeat. You can choose the winner as you like."

Martin stroked her cheek with relief and said, "You have made great progress this time. I almost lost. So, I will only compete for the best actor."

When these words fell into her ears, Aniston stood up and was a little moved: "Martin, you won't compete with me for the best picture?"

Martin smiled: "I can't make you give in every time."

"Dear, thank you." Aniston was excited at first, and then reacted, looking at Martin up and down: "It doesn't seem right, does it?"

Julie laughed so hard: "Are you fooled?"

Aniston didn't want to talk to this slut, and continued to say to Martin: "Your goal is the best actor, right?"

Martin admitted directly: "This is the only award that I am fully committed to."

Aniston was also unambiguous and said: "You win, I listen to you, Plan B will not apply for the Best Actor project."

She told the truth: "Actually, the actor's acting skills are average, and he will probably be unsuccessful in the application. His biggest advantage is that the role meets the needs of diversification."

Julie asked at this time: "You should have carefully understood the seed players of this year, right?"

Martin took the remote control and pressed the play button, and the names of some movies and actors appeared on the projection screen: "As far as this year is concerned, there are no particularly heavyweight movies. Let's look at the best actor first, excluding "Moonlight Boy" ", these three are the most competitive."

He used the laser emitter on the remote control to light up three movies one by one: "Bridge of Spies," "The Danish Girl" and "Jobs."

Jolie said directly: "If Tom Hanks doesn't have a huge breakthrough in his role, it will be difficult for him to win the third Oscar. Eddie Redmayne just won the award last year, so there is not much chance this year. Michael Fassbender ...It’s very difficult for Germans to win the Best Actor Award.”

Aniston nodded slightly and looked at Martin: "In terms of Best Picture, which one do you think is the biggest threat?"

"'Spotlight'!" Martin pointed with a laser pointer, and then said: "Oscar is the epitome of America, advocating justice, and 'Spotlight' fits this kind of justice very well."

He thought for a while: "You think of a way to make the voices of black people and LGBT people louder and louder. This will help "Moonlight" win awards."
