Epilogue of Chapter 905
The rising sun illuminated Davis Estate, where several servants were cleaning up the remnants of last night's revelry.
In the honor room adjacent to the villa's living room, Martin opened a specially made display case, took the Oscar statuette handed to him by Elizabeth, and placed it alone in this display case.
Lily took the newly carved bronze plaque and placed it on one side of the base of the little golden figure.
The plaque has only one line of text: Best Director at the 89th Academy Awards.
Martin closed the glass display case door.
Elizabeth said, "There are so many more trophies this awards season."
Right to her left stood an oversized glass display case, which contained many of Martin's trophies.
The total number is close to five hundred.
Every awards season, Martin Scorsese garners numerous trophies, with hundreds of film awards of all sizes in North America starting in September.
Lily took out her phone: "I'll record a video and post it on social media."
Martin said, "Do as you please."
Elizabeth left the Hall of Fame with him.
Lily took photos around the trophies, the most prestigious of which were an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, two Oscars for Best Actor, an Oscar for Best Director, and a Cannes Film Festival Best Actor award.
The Oscar for Best Picture isn't awarded to an individual; they're all kept on the company's shelf.
Other awards include the Golden Globe Awards, the Confederation Awards, the Saturn Awards, the People's Choice Awards, the MTV Awards, and various critics association awards.
In terms of accolades, Martin is already at the forefront of Hollywood.
Lily filmed a video and posted it on Instagram, then went out to meet up with Martin and Elizabeth to discuss their upcoming round-the-world trip.
In the coming months, Martin plans to take a round-the-world trip and travel around the world.
The Oscars ceremony has ended, but the media feast continues, with reports focusing on Martin.
"Unprecedented in Hollywood history! Martin Davis becomes the first person to win both Best Actor and Best Director at the Oscars."
"Last night, Martin Davis deservedly won both the Best Director and Best Picture awards for 'Joker'!"
"The first person to win an Oscar! Four Academy Awards, three for acting and one for directing—his talent is beyond description!"
In addition to these serious media reports, there is also a series of tabloid news.
In the latest issue of Vanity Fair's Oscars special, Martin Scorsese is prominently featured in the center of the cover photo of the winners.
In a later column, there is also a love letter written specifically to Martin.
"Born from the lowest rungs of society, earning the highest salary in Hollywood, creating an undefeated box office record, achieving the latest Oscar record, dating the most beautiful women in the world, and carrying the most immense wealth in the entertainment industry—this is Martin Davis, Hollywood's top superstar!"
Entertainment Weekly, one of North America's two major film publications, focused its attention on Martin Scorsese's past box office records.
"Following the Oscars, this magazine meticulously examined the box office figures of all the films Martin Scorsese has starred in or directed since his debut in 2003, excluding cameo appearances like 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.' From his earliest theatrical film, 'Zombie Strippers,' to his recently released 'Joker,' the total box office gross reached a staggering $117 billion!"
(Note: A detailed breakdown will be available in the free section of the next chapter.)
Compared to entertainment magazines, social and financial media focused their attention on Martin's personal wealth.
In Forbes' 2016 list of the world's richest people, Martin surpassed George Lucas, Hollywood's richest man, to take the top spot.
"In terms of publicly verifiable wealth, Hollywood star and newly crowned Oscar-winning director Martin Davis's greatest wealth does not come from film salaries and royalties, but from business investments."
"His Davis Film Studios holds the rights to many popular films and has several promising projects in production. Walt Disney once tried to acquire it, offering a total of $25 billion, but Martin Davis rejected the offer."
"Martin has invested in Apple, Netflix and Tesla for many years, and holds shares in the three companies worth more than $13 billion."
In the latest Forbes list of the world's richest people, Martin ranked 34th with a net worth of $203 billion.
The 33rd horse in front is that Jack Horse.
Born in 1981, Martin Davis, now 36, is in the prime of his career as a Hollywood man, and his legend will continue.
