Heads Up Hollywood

Tang En won the first Oscar in his life. He broke the record of the youngest best screenwriter and won the crown at the age of 23.

But more importantly, with this Oscar, he can exchange the "Contract Stealing" skill with the sunglasses system.

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

It can even be said without exaggeration that even without sunglasses, Twain can still make his own way in Hollywood. He has opened up the situation.

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

in case!

After a happy and wonderful night, when Tang En got up the next day, he went to the study alone, locked the door, put on sunglasses, and wanted to check whether the "Contract Stealing" skill had arrived as scheduled.

Unexpectedly, the interface of the system suddenly changed.

The color, layout, and font have all been changed a lot, and the pop-up dialog box in the middle has attracted Tang En's attention.

"The host's North American box office has accumulated more than 2 billion U.S. dollars, it has won the global box office championship more than 3 times, and won 1 Oscar. It has reached the upgrade standard. Now the system has changed from low-level to high-level, and the new skill of "stealing awards" has been added."

Tang En couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Has the system been upgraded?

Stealing money for prizes?

what?

Tang En clicked the "OK" button, and sure enough, in his backpack, he found a "Contract Stealing" skill that had been redeemed, and a spare stored "Mirror Image Possession" skill.

As for the skill of "Stealing the Sky for Rewards", Tang En did not find it. He only found the introduction in the introduction column of the skill details.

Stealing the sky and changing the award: As the name suggests, it means stealing the sky and changing the life, changing 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 person.

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

Baby, this is definitely a baby!

Stealing the sky for awards means that you can steal the prizes that belong to others!

This is simply more overbearing than "stealing the contract"!

With the current Hollywood structure, for Twain, winning the box office is easy, but winning awards, especially Oscars, is hard to achieve!

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

Before this year's Oscars, Tang En visited many seniors, including Francis Coppola, Marlon Brando and others, and gained a deeper understanding of Hollywood and Oscars.

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

The box office refers to the theater revenue of the movie, and the awards mainly refer to the Oscars.

Back then, the only way out for Hollywood movies was at the box office. When all producers and directors made movies with the highest standard of box office, it led to a period of serious deformity in the development of movies.

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

It can be seen from the birth background of Oscar that Oscar and the box office are in an opposite relationship.

This opposition is not absolute, but it is the crystallization of the wisdom of many film predecessors to achieve a mutual restraint and coordinated development, and to maintain the stable development of Hollywood films.

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

Art and business complement each other and walk on two legs. This is the correct way for Hollywood to develop.

The current Tang En has made three consecutive movies with a global box office of over 1 billion US dollars, and the entire Hollywood is astonished!

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

However, I want the Oscar to award the best director award to Twain... Even if he made "Titanic", even if he made "A Beautiful Mind", even if the directors of these two films won Oscars in their previous lives, but Put it on Tang En, absolutely not!

The reason is simple, Tang En is too young!

His influence is too great!

This is certainly not age discrimination, on the contrary, it is a hidden protection of Oscar for young people.

Oscar, you must grasp the true value system of producers, directors, and actors in this industry!

The simplest example is Leonardo Ricaprio.

When Leonardo was young, the Oscars did not award him, not because of his poor performance. In fact, many movies have the capital to compete for Oscars, such as "Blood Diamond" and "The Wolf of Wall Street".

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

Through unremitting efforts, Leonardo accumulated year after year until he performed almost desperately in "The Revenant". After he was 40 years old, he finally won the Oscar's recognition and became the Oscar winner.

Is this Oscar suppressing Leonardo? On the contrary, it's protection in disguise!

If Leonardo already had an unrivaled appeal in the box office market when he was young, and gained everything in terms of awards, and became a winner in life, then what kind of goal does he have in his life? ?

Especially when you are young, it is easiest to get lost in the luxurious Hollywood.

How red is Leonardo? The whole world is his fans!

It is because of Oscar's strategy that Leonardo was not confused when he was young. 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 have a long history.

On the other hand, many small fresh meat actors in the big country on the other side are traffic stars at a young age. Many awards are awarded to this group of people for the sake of ratings and attention.

The results are good, the little fresh meats have traffic, influence, fans, money, and awards. They are simply winners in life!

Then the entire film and television market became a tragedy. This group of little fresh meats became the biggest in the world, and became the biggest scourge!

Oscar's actions and strategies are setting an example for the industry!

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

This is the correct value, and this is the right guidance for an institution with mainstream discourse power!

Many small fresh meat earn so much money, once the direction of guidance is wrong, it will completely lose its appearance. This will be a tragedy in the entertainment industry, and the art of film will be completely lost.

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

Even if the ratings have dropped year after year, the academy will definitely not praise the popular niche or the queen of traffic. It just wants to leave a pure land for film art and leave a space for young people to pursue hard work.

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

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

In order not to let Twain go too far, and to set a benchmark for young directors, Oscar will definitely suppress Twain for many years.

Even if Ron Howard won the Oscar for Best Director with "A Beautiful Mind" in his previous life, it is impossible for Twain to win the same award with this movie.

The gap between the two is too big!

The Oscar awarding the best director to Ron Howard is an encouragement to him.

Does Dunn still need encouragement?

On the contrary, Tang En is too hot now!

Many old guys and seniors thought that Tang En should cool down, because he was so hot at such a young age, it was easy to burn!

As a human being, Tang En has already matured psychologically, and the situation that many seniors are worried about will not happen at all.

It's just... who would believe it?

It is foreseeable that the Oscars in the next few years will definitely not award the best director to him.

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

Tang En would not complain about Oscar, and even respect him, because Oscar carried more responsibilities and obligations. But let him accept the reality calmly, he is not reconciled!

It's all right now, "Stealing the sky for prizes" is here!

Twain can use this skill to "steal" a prize generously!

"Huh? An Oscar can be exchanged for a 'Contract Stealing' skill. Doesn't that mean... a 'Stealing the Sky for an Award' can not only bring an Oscar trophy, but also a 'Contract Stealing' ? Is there such a good thing?"

Tang En immediately discovered the logical loophole here.

"No way? Did you read it wrong?"

Taking a closer look at the system interface, Tang En immediately froze!

I saw that behind the "reward for stealing the sky" was followed by a note, which clearly stated that because of the overlap between "reward for stealing the sky" and "contract for stealing", this award cannot be used by the host himself.

Tang En immediately rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

This bullshit system is just a joke!

White excited for so long!

Looking at the conditions for obtaining the "reward by stealing the sky", Tang En felt even more troubled.

It's not that the acquisition conditions are too difficult, it's just that...the number is limited.

"Acquisition conditions. Every year the host produces, directs, writes, or participates in a movie that can win the global box office championship. At the beginning of the next year, the system will reward the skill of "stealing the sky for prizes."

In other words, "reward exchange"... at most once a year!

Twain wanted to sneakily give awards to his own people at the Oscars, and there was only one chance a year at most!

"This is too stingy!"

Tang En complained repeatedly.

The triggering condition of "Mirror Possession" is that the global box office exceeds 1 billion US dollars. For others, this is absolutely a fantasy. Even the accumulated box office of many directors in their lifetimes does not reach 1 billion US dollars.

But to Tang En, it was like getting something out of a bag.

He is still wearing Oliver Stone's "Mirror Mirror Possession" on his body, and he has accumulated an extra one 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 images".

At that time, he can secretly use it for others, instead of keeping it for himself.

However, no matter how hard Tang En worked hard for this "reward exchange", Tang En could only get it once a year, which was too harsh a condition.

Of course, talking is better than nothing!

After all, this is the secret weapon in Tang En's hands!

"It doesn't matter, no matter what, I also have the opportunity to enforce Oscar!"

Tang En took a deep breath, grinned, and his eyes showed everything.
