Superstar

Hugo's uninterrupted, rising, and hot and powerful momentum reached its peak in 1995, and finally left its mark by opening the "20 Million Club", truly writing glory in the long river of film history. In addition to the North American film market, the global film market has also witnessed the unparalleled prosperity of Hollywood.

On the global rankings at the end of this year, the "Seven Deadly Sins" unexpectedly won the year-end championship with a data of 485 million U.S. dollars. The reason for the accident is that the overseas box office of the "seven deadly sins" is only 290 million, and it has not even exceeded the 300 million threshold. However, relying on the appeal of the two top superstars, Hugo and Brad, it is still showing a slight depression. Successfully reached the summit in 1995.

The outstanding performance of the "Seven Deadly Sins" in the overseas market is not only attributed to Hugo alone, but it should be said that "the showdown between Hugo and Brad" became the biggest contributor. This is a topic that was unintentionally hyped up by the American media. Now it has grown into the most attention-grabbing focus on a global scale, and it has become one of the most representative topics in Hollywood.

However, although the "seven deadly sins" aspired to the year-end championship, the box office results are simply not on par with the top three in the past two years, and the decline after the peak is very obvious. And this year, the global box office of only one piece of "Seven Deadly Sins" exceeded 400 million, which proves this view even more.

The work in the global year-end runner-up position has taken many people's surprises. In the North American film market, "Die Hard 3" has reached such a high level. The official record of Wei 3's North American box office is 1012 thousand U.S. dollars, which is almost a breakthrough by rubbing the sidelines. However, the overseas market has swept the momentum of 266 million U.S. dollars and has become second only to the "seven deadly sins." His best performance made this work win the runner-up in the year-end statistics in one fell swoop!

This is also the fundamental reason why major film companies have always been unable to give up on sequel movies. Even though the overall quality of "Die Hard 3" has declined significantly, relying on the strong appeal of the sequel, 20th Century Fox has made a big profit. Pen.

Although "Toy Story" is well-received and popular in North America, it is obviously still a bit unsatisfied in overseas markets. The box office data of overseas markets can't even make it into the top eight of the year. However, this work still relies on the outstanding performance of the North American market. In the third place of the year, it is only less than one million US dollars behind the global box office performance of Die Hard 3.

After these three works, "Apollo 13", "Golden Eye", "Pocahontas", "Batman Forever", "Ghost Elf", "Future Water World", "The Brave Game" Ranked fourth to tenth respectively.

The ranking of the global box office year-end list is very different from that of North America. From this detail, it can be seen that the aesthetics of overseas markets are slightly different from that of North America. However, on the whole, nine of the two lists in the top ten have maintained their positions. It can also be seen that, at least in terms of commercial performance, Hollywood's high-quality and high-level production still represents the world standard. .

Among them, the success of "Golden Eye" represented the resurrection of the 007 series. Pierce Brosnan once again evoked people's love for James Bond, the most famous agent in film history, and thus opened the series for the next two decades. "Apollo 13", "Batman Forever", "Future Water World", "Game of the Brave", including the runner-up "Die Hard 3", represent the great The bright prospect of scene commercial film.

The only difference among the top ten is that "Future Water World" replaced "Detective Aircraft Head 2" and ranked among the top ten.

Since most comedies have strong regional characteristics and cultural heritage, even linguistics, etc., to put it simply, many of the jokes in the American drama "Friends" may not be understood by everyone in Asia, not to say no. It's funny, but the difference in understanding caused by the difference in culture is an inevitable phenomenon.

"Detective Aircraft Head 2" ranked sixth in North America, but the overseas market only received a box office of 100 million US dollars, and eventually missed the top ten and fell to the twelfth place. The character of comedy is one of the most important reasons. Of course, it is for this reason that Kim Carey's influence in the world is not to be compared with Hugo and Tom Hanks, even Brad Pitt is now above Kim. This is also one of the difficulties in the development of comedians.

The "Future Water World" verifies another point of view, that is, high investment and high return, wonderful visual effects, rapid racing explosions, leaving aside cultural constraints and ideological differences, works purely to stimulate adrenaline can easily cross over. Cross the world cultural boundaries and win the echo of all audiences around the world: just enjoy the excitement is enough.

This disastrous work in North America, relying on its excellent performance in overseas markets, finally achieved a box office score of 264 million US dollars, at least in terms of book cost, it saved its face, but the real internal injury is only known to Universal Pictures itself. After the benefit distribution, Universal Pictures will not only be unable to make money, but also lose money, but they are not as miserable as "Cut Throat Island".

Due to the excellent performance of the "Future Water World" in overseas markets, the topic of increasing costs that has recently been intensively discussed in Hollywood has become more complicated.

But now "The End of the World" and "Ace Specialist" have become vanguards. These two works not only increase the salary, but also control the cost of two different types. Their box office results can be matched to a certain extent. The evidence support provided by Hollywood discussion hotspots is bound to have an impact on the future development curve.

In addition to the top ten, a total of 13 movies worldwide this year have a box office of over 200 million and 36 films have a box office of over 100 million. Both figures have dropped significantly compared to 1993 and 1994. Naturally, there will be someone in the end. Joy is sad.

To many people’s surprise, "Death Row" actually ranked among the top 20 in the global box office at the end of the year, ranking 19th, just behind the "Twelve Monkeys". Such a result is really impressive. After all, this It's just a purely feature film, with a box office of more than 30 million yuan and it can be regarded as a huge victory. As a result, DreamWorks and Twentieth Century Fox have made a small profit, which has to be admired.

In addition, "Before Sunrise" also ranked 37th on the global list. It was the best performer among all the works that did not exceed 100 million at the box office. This is also a result of strong suspicion that the list is wrong.

From "Seven Deadly Sins" to "Death Row" to "Before Sunrise", the outstanding performance of these three works on the global box office rankings allows people to clearly feel the powerful influence of Hugo in the film market all over the world. Within the scope, the actor, who is only 28 years old this year, relies on his strong personal charm and strong personal strength to conquer countless audiences. Even the Cannes Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival have cast an olive branch on him—— After "Pulp Fiction" reached the top of Cannes and "Before Sunrise" became famous in Berlin, the new Berlin Film Festival invited "Death Prisoners Walk" to participate and entered the competition unit.

In the entire European market, Britain, France, Germany, including Italy where the Venice Film Festival was held, Hugo's works have achieved impressive results, not to mention the love of this young actor by global filmmakers, all of these are It has become the most shining gem in the crown of the Hugo superstar.

Throughout 1995, Hugo’s outstanding performance in the field of film has penetrated into other fields, and set off a strong frenzy that will have an impact on an entire generation of people. How many people have produced independent films because of "before sunrise" In order to yearn for, how many people became interested in acting because of the "Seven Deadly Sins", how many people refreshed their views on the work of actors because of "Death Row", and how many people chose to embark on the path of actors because of Hugo... …

In comparison, Hugo has devoted almost all of his energy to film work in the past year. The whereabouts of glory to death is almost a mystery, but is it really the case?

The energy of glory to death seemed to be concentrated in the first half of the year. It was centered on the 37th Grammy Awards in February.

The momentum is pushed to its peak.

However, after the Grammys, Glory fell into the incubation period to death. There was no tour, no publicity, no new album, and even the activities almost disappeared. This band is like countless rock bands, usually disappearing directly from the public’s sight. , Waiting for a certain day after the accumulation of strength is finished, then he will be born in a proud posture, and amaze everyone.

However, Glory to Death is still very different from other rock bands, not only because they have a lead singer who has stunning history, but also because the new metal rock they lead has caused countless waves around the world.
