Superstar

As Hollywood’s most watched rivals in the past decade, the healthy and vicious competition between Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Hugo Lancaster has always been the focus of heated discussion. These three The entanglement between them can be traced back to 1992, but it was 1995 that really put the three on the same level and launched a duel for more than ten years!

In the fifth week of December 1995, the last issue of "People" Weekly was officially released under the attention of everyone. Every year, the world’s most **** men’s selection, which can arouse countless topics, continues this tradition this year. Brad, who performed well in the year and was in the limelight, defeated a lot of competitors, won the title of "People" Weekly for the first time, and became the world's sexiest man in 1995!

From the emergence of "Interview with Vampires at Night", to the emergence of "Love Years", to the continued success of "Seven Deadly Sins", and finally the full affirmation of "Twelve Monkeys". In one year, Brad stepped one step at a time in the four works. Although he was suppressed by Hugo everywhere, the energy accumulated in the four works exploded in an all-round way, achieving the highest title of "All-American Lover" for Brad now.

Although Hugo’s performance in the past year is still strong, "Pulp Fiction", "Before Sunrise", "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Row" are all masterpieces, but Hugo has been strong for four years. Compared to his as strong as always, Brad, who came from behind, obviously won more attention.

More importantly, Brad's wild, sexy, uninhibited and tough image is perfectly combined with the big screen characters. From a performance perspective, this is the same repetition, but for the audience, it undoubtedly deepens them. Direct impression of Brad. This also made Brad ride a rocket and jumped to the commanding heights in one fell swoop!

"People" Weekly’s World’s Sexiest Man is just a title issued by the magazine and has no practical meaning. However, as one of the most influential magazines in North America, the selection of "People" is obviously not limited to appearance or sexiness. It is an evaluation of the influence, popularity, appeal, and popularity of the selected objects.

Now, "People" Weekly has awarded this title to Brad, which is the most direct and important affirmation of Brad's achievements in the past year.

Maybe people are criticizing Brad’s acting skills, and Hugo has almost completely exploded in the "Seven Deadly Sins"; maybe people are discussing the same role of Brad, and several works are almost in the same line; maybe people are despising Brad’s appeal, The box office performance is simply not on the same level as Hugo and Tom...

But the fact is, Brad is now the most watched actor in North America! no doubt! In particular, "Twelve Monkeys" took advantage of the hot wind of "Seven Deadly Sins" to create outstanding results in one fell swoop, and has a bright money scene, which also made Brad even more proud.

This seemingly meaningless title allows Brad to truly compare with Tom and Hugo. The three of them are the three youngest actors on the list in the past ten years! There are only three actors among the current baby boomers who have received such a title.

Also, no one will forget that the winner of this title from People Weekly in the past two years is Hugo! Hugo became the first and only person in the history of "People" Weekly to win this title twice. This is also a direct testimony of Hugo's success in Hollywood in the past two years!

Now, Brad has won this title. It is not so much that Brad ended and prevented Hugo's three consecutive championships. It is better to say that Brad inherited the crown from Hugo and reached the top of "People" Weekly.

This time, Brad defeated Hugo in a true sense, and it was also his long-lost victory in the competition with Hugo! This is not only of great significance to Brad, but many media in North America have also chanted "change of dynasty."

The dynasty change here does not mean that Brad replaced Hugo, but refers to the end of the dynasty of "Hugo and Tom's strong dialogue" and the official opening of the era of "Hugo, Tom, and Brad". This is the fundamental reason why the "twelve monkeys" have an important position in the history of entertainment. After this work, people have truly ushered in a dynasty where three top superstars compete fiercely and masterpieces gather.

Thanks to Brad’s strong influence on top of "People" Weekly, the box office of "Twelve Monkeys" surged by 60% this week, directly grabbing $19.8 million in the North American market. Box office, this not only created the best data in the three weeks since the movie was released, but also brought the work’s three-week cumulative box office to the door of 30 million U.S. dollars and settled directly at 35 million U.S. dollars. This is an investment in a movie. For 29 million cult commercial films, it is undoubtedly a huge success.

The strength of "Twelve Monkeys" has also made major media generally optimistic about the prospects of this movie. Brad even swept away the haze of good grades and low mood after the "Seven Deadly Sins", and frequently appeared in major programs. Accept various interviews. As the new sexiest man in the world, Brad seems to enjoy this name, and his girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow has also become the most jealous woman in the United States. This couple also replaced Hugo, who was acting low-key. And Cameron, became people's number one concern after a meal.

In the fifth week of December, although "Twelve Monkeys" burst out of today's energy, it eventually lost to "Toy Story". This film history's first three-dimensional computer animation work almost won the love of the entire North America. The box office surged by 100%. With the box office data of 20.3 million U.S. dollars, it strongly returned to the top position of the North American weekend box office rankings, and the cumulative box office also reached 150 million U.S. dollars, officially moving towards Two hundred million advances, this really stole a lot of limelight.

After "Toy Story" and "Twelve Monkeys", it is the "Brave Game" that has rebounded at the box office. There are six works with a box office of over 10 million this week, which shows the prosperity and excitement of the entire North American market.

After this battle, the success of "Twelve Monkeys" is undoubtedly, Brad has finally truly risen, completing the three-legged territory, and the entire Hollywood pattern has been changed.

After that, the "Twelve Monkeys" benefited from the good reputation, and the follow-up momentum continued. Although it cannot be compared with the terrifying momentum of the "Seven Deadly Sins", its outstanding performance still makes it a horse. The shiny black horse!

In January 1996, "Twelve Monkeys" won the weekend box office of tens of millions a week, and successfully reached the top of the North American weekend box office rankings. After that, they won the weekend box office of millions of millions of dollars. More than 40%, but not all works can match the performance of "Seven Deadly Sins". For a thriller and suspense science fiction movie, the performance of "Twelve Monkeys" has greatly exceeded expectations. .

Thanks to the outstanding performance in January, many media have exclaimed, is it possible that the box office of "Twelve Monkeys" will exceed 100 million? If this is the case, this work will undoubtedly create a "seven deadly sins" miracle, and it will also become Brad's third North American work with a box office of over 100 million yuan-of course, the "seven deadly sins" are clearly approaching two at the box office. Billion, but Brad’s impression of people is limited.

It is a pity that this speculation lasted less than two weeks before it was shattered.

Like the "Seven Deadly Sins", the later endurance still appears to be weak, especially the "Twelve Monkeys" cannot be compared with the "Seven Deadly Sins." The decline was more than 50%, and the hope that the film would hit the 100 million US dollar threshold disappeared like a bubble in an instant.

Even so, the performance of "Twelve Monkeys" is still very impressive. It has been released for 12 weeks, and the cumulative box office in North America has reached 89 million U.S. dollars, which is still a long way from 100 million U.S. dollars. But even so, "Twelve Monkeys" has become Brad's third highest grossing work, second only to "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Interview with Vampires" with a box office of barely over 100 million.

This was the case with the "burning years" at the beginning. The North American box office was only a little over 60 million, but the overseas box office performed exceptionally well. This time, "Twelve Monkeys" is the same. Bruce has a global appeal after "Die Hard", and Brad is now a **** idol known all over the world. The film's potential in overseas markets is undoubtedly worth looking forward to. of.

Although people have raised their expectations, in the end, the overseas performance of the "Twelve Monkeys" still stunned everyone. Fifty-one countries and regions overseas earned 120 million U.S. dollars in the box office for this work. It also made the global box office of "Twelve Monkeys" reach 209 million U.S. dollars. Such excellent results also made Brad's smile even brighter when interviewed on major programs.

According to feedback from inside the paparazzi, Brad has been in a good mood recently. Even if he is secretly photographed dating Gwyneth ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, he still communicates with the paparazzi with a smile on his face.

The investment of 29 million yuan, and the final global recovery of 209 million US dollars, such an achievement, even if Universal Pictures expressed high hopes for the "twelve monkeys", it was impossible to predict. This kind of low investment and high return has happened countless times with Hugo, and people have long been accustomed to it, but for Brad, it is the real first time except for the "seven deadly sins."

"Twelve Monkeys" has not gone offline, and there have been rumors in the circle. Under Martin Baum’s operation, Brad’s salary has been increased to 10 million U.S. dollars, and some production companies also have rumors. Say that even 15 million is no problem. You know, during the "seven deadly sins" period, Brad's salary as a actor was only four million dollars-even if the box office exceeded the expected line of one million, it was only five million.

The miracle created by "Twelve Monkeys" has just begun.

Although the achievements of "Twelve Monkeys" made the whole of North America sigh, and Brad was riding the wind and waves, and the momentum was like a rainbow; but even the "New York Post" would not stupidly say rain when chanting "change of dynasty". Guo's dynasty is over, not only because Hugo is still the world's most appealing top star, but also because of the outstanding performance of "Death Row", they must shut up!
