Chapter 332: Stealing the Sky for Prizes

Don won his first Oscar, breaking the record for the youngest best screenplay, winning at the age of 23.

But more importantly, he can use this Oscar to exchange the sunglasses system for a "contract stealing" skill.

With the increase in strength and status, the role of magical sunglasses on Don has become smaller and smaller.

It is even no exaggeration to say that the current Donne, even without sunglasses, can still carve out his own world in Hollywood, and he has opened up the situation.

But...... This is his secret weapon after all.

Just in case!

After a fun and wonderful night, when he got up the next day, Don went to the study alone, locked the door, and put on sunglasses, wanting to check if the "contract stealing" skill had arrived as promised.

Unexpectedly, the interface of the system suddenly changed.

The color, layout, and font have all changed a lot, and the dialog box that pops up in the middle has attracted Donn's attention.

"The host's North American box office has accumulated more than $2 billion, won the global box office more than 3 times, won 1 Oscar, and reached the upgrade standard. ”

Don couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, the system has been upgraded?

Stealing the sky for a prize?

What is it?

Tang En clicked the "OK" button, and sure enough, in his backpack, he found a "Steal Contract" skill that had been redeemed, as well as a "Mirror Possession" skill that was stored sparely.

As for the "Stealing the Sky for Prizes" skill, Tang En didn't find it, and only found this introduction in the introduction column of the skill details.

Stealing the sky for awards: As the name suggests, stealing the sky and changing the meaning of changing the life for the award, every time it is activated, the host can use this skill to change the ownership of the movie award, and distribute it according to the host's designated candidates.

Tang En immediately understood the meaning of this skill, and his eyes immediately lit up with excitement!

Baby, this is definitely a baby!

Stealing the sky for awards means that you can steal beams and change pillars and snatch the awards that belong to others!

This is simply more domineering than "stealing contracts"!

In the current Hollywood landscape, it is easy for Don to win the box office, and it is difficult to win awards, especially the Oscars!

This has nothing to do with ageism, it has nothing to do with connections, it has nothing to do with the fundamental meaning of Oscar's existence.

Before this Oscar, Don visited many seniors, including Francis Coppola, Marlon Brando, etc., and gained a deeper understanding of Hollywood and the Oscars.

Hollywood movies have two major directions: box office and awards.

The box office refers to the theatrical revenue of the film, and the awards mainly refer to the Oscars.

At that time, Hollywood movies had only one way out at the box office, and when all producers and directors made movies with the box office as the highest standard, it led to a period of film development and serious deformity.

Later, after some wise and wise thinking, a new direction was finally determined, and Oscar came into being!

From the background of the birth of the Oscar, it can be seen that the Oscar and the box office are opposites.

This kind of opposition is not absolute, but it is the crystallization of the wisdom of many film predecessors, achieving a purpose of mutual restraint and coordinated development, and maintaining the stable development of Hollywood films.

The pursuit of movies should not only be at the box office, but also with awards.

Art and business complement each other, walking on two legs, this is the right way for Hollywood to develop.

Now Don has made three movies with a global box office of more than $1 billion in a row, and he has been amazed by the whole Hollywood!

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the king of commercial film directors of all time!

However, I wanted the Oscars to award the award for Best Director to Donne...... Even if he filmed "Titanic", even if he filmed "A Beautiful Mind", even if the directors of these two movies won the Oscars in their previous lives, but on Donn, it will definitely not work!

The reason is simple, Don is too young!

His influence is too great!

This is certainly not ageism, on the contrary, it is a hidden protection of young people at the Oscars.

The Oscars must grasp the real value system of producers, directors, and actors in this industry!

The simplest example is Leonardo Ricaprio.

When Leonardo was young, the Oscars did not give him awards, not because he did not act well, in fact, many movies have the capital to compete for the Oscars, such as "Blood Diamond", such as "The Wolf of Wall Street".

But at a young age, he is already a first-line superstar, and his commercial films never lose money, and he already has a lot of influence in the industry.

Through unremitting efforts, Leonardo accumulated over the years, until "The Revenant", an almost desperate performance, finally won the recognition of the Oscar and became the Oscar winner after the age of 40.

Is this Oscar's suppression of Leonardo? On the contrary, it is a kind of protection in disguise!

If Leonardo had unrivaled appeal in the box office market at a young age, and gained everything in terms of awards and became a winner in life, then what kind of goals does he have in life?

Especially when you are young, it is most likely to get lost in Hollywood, which is drunk and obsessed.

How popular is Leonardo?

It is because of Oscar's strategy that Leonardo was not confused when he was young, and he always had a goal in his heart and worked hard for it, which promoted his maturity and growth.

It also set an example for many young actors, so that the reasonable development of Hollywood can go back a long way.

On the other hand, many small fresh meat actors in the big countries on the other side of the strait are traffic stars at a young age, and many awards award this group of people with a clear conscience for the sake of ratings and attention.

The result is good, the little fresh meat has traffic, influence, fans, money, and awards, and they are simply winners in life!

Then the entire film and television market is tragic, this group of little fresh meat has become the biggest in the world and the biggest scourge!

Oscar's behavior and strategy is to erect an example for the industry!

It is to let young actors in this industry understand in which direction they should develop and struggle, instead of living with a face. Encourage them to learn from Leonardo, hone their acting skills, improve their professional standards, and not rely on the money of handsome face circle fans.

This is the right value, this is the institution with the right to speak in the mainstream, and the correct guidance is needed!

A lot of little fresh meat makes so much money, once the direction of guidance is wrong, it will be completely beautiful, which will be a tragedy in the entertainment industry, and it will completely lose the art of film.

This is the greatness of the Oscars, which carries the heavy responsibility of the healthy development of the entire Hollywood and the entire film market.

Even if the ratings have been declining year after year, the academy will definitely not praise popular students and traffic queens, just to leave a pure land for film art and a space for young juniors to work hard to pursue.

Donne's current situation is very similar to Leonardo's.

He is younger, has a higher box office, has more traffic, and has more influence.

In order to prevent Don from drifting too much, and in order to set a benchmark for young directors, the Oscar will definitely suppress Don for many years.

Even if Lang Howard won the Oscar for Best Director for "A Beautiful Mind" in his previous life, Don would not have won the same award for this film.

The gap between the two is too big!

The Oscar award to Ron Howard for Best Director was an encouragement to him.

Does Don still need encouragement?

On the contrary, Donn is too hot right now!

Many old guys and old-timers think that Don En should cool down, he is so hot at a young age, and it is easy to burn!

Tang En is a human being, and his psychology has long been mature, and there will be no situation that many old-timers worry about.

Merely...... Who believes?

It is foreseeable that in the next few years, the Oscars will definitely not award the director of Best Director to him.

At most, there will be a few nominations and a few inconspicuous small awards to express recognition and encouragement to him.

Don will not complain about Oscar, and will even respect him, because Oscar carries more responsibilities and obligations. But let him accept the reality calmly, he is not reconciled!

Well, now, the "Stealing the Sky for Prizes" is here!

Don can use this skill to "steal" generously to get a prize!

"Huh, isn't it true that an Oscar can be exchanged for a 'contract stealing' skill...... Can a 'stealing a prize' bring an Osao trophy in exchange for a 'stealing contract'?

Donn immediately spotted the logical loophole here.

"Isn't it?

Looking at the system interface again, Tang En was immediately stunned!

I saw that behind the "Stealing the Sky for Prize", there was also a note, which was clearly marked that because of the overlap of "Stealing the Sky for the Prize" and "Stealing the Contract", the award could not be used on the host himself.

Don En rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

This bullshit system, it's a joke!

Shiro has been excited for so long!

Looking at the conditions for obtaining the "Stealing the Sky for Awards", Tang En felt even more headache.

It's not that it's too difficult to obtain, it's really ...... The number is limited.

"Acquisition conditions, the host can win the global box office championship every year with a film that is produced, directed, or written, or participated in, and at the beginning of the following year, the system will reward a 'stealing the sky for awards' skill. ”

In other words, "stealing the sky for awards"...... Up to once a year!

Don wants to secretly give out awards to his own people at the Oscars, and he only has one chance at most once a year!

"That's too picky!"

Don complained again and again.

The stimulus condition for "mirror possession" is that the global box office exceeds $1 billion, which is absolutely fantastical for others, and even many directors have accumulated a box office of less than $1 billion in a lifetime.

But for Don, it's like a pour.

He still has Oliver Stone's "Mirror Possession" on his body, and he has already accumulated an extra one more in the system backpack.

When the two commercial blockbusters "Unsinkable" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" are released this summer, he will participate as a producer and screenwriter, and he will accumulate more "mirror possession".

When the time comes, he can secretly use it for others, instead of enjoying it for himself.

But this "stealing the sky for the award", even if Tang En works hard, he can only get it once a year, and such conditions are too harsh.

Of course, better than nothing!

This is the secret weapon in Don's hands after all!

"No matter what, no matter what, I also have the opportunity to enforce the Oscars!"

Don took a deep breath and grinned, his eyes shining.
