Chapter 1617

No one could have predicted that gravity would be the top box office winner in North America in 2013.

Similarly, no one can expect that the year-end box office of "drunken folk songs" will surpass that of "Raytheon 2".

The praise focused on lenley has been broken for a long time. Needless to say, it just makes people more and more disappointed with the box office of "Star Trek" and "Raytheon 2" - interestingly, Chris Hemsworth plays in these two works, which is really a very magical thing, isn't it?

But the positive news is more joyful than the negative news: "zombie World War" and "crazy primitive man" are such works.

The former is a work starring Brad Pitt. Before the release, there was a steady stream of negative news about the work. From internal differences to editing conflicts, the production team did not seem to be able to reach a consensus.

The disagreement between the director Mark Forster and the producer Brad Pitt set off a powder keg. Eventually, paramount stood on Brad's side, leading to mark's rampage and a lot of post production problems, which forced paramount to change the release schedule three times in a row; Then, during the internal audition, the feedback was ambiguous and everyone kept it a secret.

Everything has cast a shadow on the future of the film.

Who knows, after the release of the film, it completed a counter attack. Although it never topped the weekend box office ranking, the cumulative box office exceeded 200 million US dollars, bringing a small surprise. Although the cost of movies is as high as 190 million US dollars, the global box office of 540 million US dollars is only a small profit for paramount; But because of Brad, the sequel is still on the agenda.

The latter is produced by DreamWorks Animation, which has been turbulent in recent years.

In fact, the works of DreamWorks still maintain good quality, and "Kung Fu Panda" and "dragon training master" have won good reviews, but the box office performance has always been somewhat lower than expected, not to mention comparable with the peak works like "Shrek", even compared with the rising stars like Zhaoming Entertainment, they are gradually left behind.

This time, the "crazy primitive man" can be said to be acclaimed and popular. It successfully started the turnaround of DreamWorks, which is really gratifying. Compared with Disney and lighting entertainment, DreamWorks' fantastic ideas are still their trump card, finding a beautiful balance between anti traditional absurdity and wisdom, which is also their capital based on the North American market.

On the whole, the year-end North American box office ranking in 2013 can be said to be a mixture of surprise and regret, while blue Lee undoubtedly became the biggest winner of the year.

This is also the first time that lanli has won the North American year-end box office title! What's more, the significance of "gravity" is more extraordinary because it is the work of lanli.

The same goes for the year-end box office rankings around the world.

The global box office of "gravity", "ice and snow" and "Iron Man 3" all broke through the threshold of one billion, which is lower than that of last year's four films in terms of numbers: Avengers League in 2012, 007: breaking the curtain of heaven crisis, Batman: the rise of the dark knight and hobbit, But this year, the overall quality of the three works is also better.

Among them, "gravity" surpassed last year's "Avengers alliance" with a staggering figure of 1.643 billion, ranking third in the box office list of film history.

"Ice and snow Wonderland" relies on its strong word-of-mouth strength to counter attack the overseas market. It ranks the fourth in North America, the second in the world, and 1.276 billion yuan. However, it easily surpasses the other three works of last year - "breaking the curtain of heaven crisis", "the rise of the Dark Knight" and "the Hobbit" in the global box office, which will be more than one billion.

"Iron Man 3" has also continued the strong appeal of the marvel family, with an overseas box office of 1.21 billion yuan, creating the highest series of Marvel Universe works, which is second only to "Avengers alliance". However, the total box office lost to "gravity" and "ice and snow", coupled with "hunger Game 2" sweeping North America and global weakness, This also gives the major film companies an inspiration——

Although the adapted works can easily earn the box office, the quality of the works is still the core standard that determines the market trend. It is undoubtedly a crucial enlightenment for those companies other than Warner Brothers and Disney that do not have the adaptation copyright, especially the small companies other than the six major film companies.

In the end, "gravity", "ice and snow" and "Iron Man 3" ranked among the top three in the global year-end box office rankings. Among them, "gravity" successfully won the double list in the extremely fierce competition, which is undoubtedly the biggest winner in 2013.

In addition to the three blockbusters that have swept the box office by one billion, the top ten are "Daddy the thief", "hobbit 2", "hunger Game 2", "speed and passion 6", "monster University", "Superman: the body of steel" and "Raytheon 2", which constitute the year-end box office of the world this year.

Compared with the North American box office, "Raytheon 2" replaces "the wizard of Oz", which is the only change. The ranking of other works has changed slightly.

The strength of comic adapted films and the recovery of animated films - "crazy primitive man" ranks 11th in the global list. The decline of sequel films and the rise of dark horse works have become the biggest portrayal of the whole film market in 2013, and the enlightenment and changes derived from it are quietly fermenting.

Incidentally, the "drunken Ballads" with a significant decline in overseas box office performance lack combat effectiveness in the global box office rankings. Comparatively speaking, the "Wall Street wolf" with more market affinity ranks 17th in the world, and the gorgeous "the Great Gatsby" ranks 20th in the world, This also proves once again the appeal of Leonardo DiCaprio on a global scale.

In the end, "drunken Ballads" ranked 30th on the year-end list with 270 million global box office results.

Nevertheless, compared with Leonardo's box office performance, people are still more amazed at the market potential of Langley. After all, "drunken folk" is a work that does not have any box office ability in all aspects, but now it can be ranked in the top 30 in the global year-end list, which is really fierce.

From the North American box office to the global box office, lanli has become the focus of attention, which has also become the source background of the rumors of "hundreds of millions of wealth".

After the beginning of 2014, what is the hottest and most sensational news in the whole industry?

It's not the awards season, it's the blue ceremony. To be more accurate, it should be the pay of Lan Li.

"Gravity" and "drunken folk songs" have become the most popular works in the second half of the year. The former set off the autumn show, while the latter broke the shackles of art box office. Apart from the prospects of the award season, just relying on box office data is enough to change the fixed concept of the whole industry.

No doubt, this will also all focus on the blue Li.

From egot to the Grand Slam of the three major European film festivals, Langley's achievements in the field of art have reached an unparalleled height, even compared with old actors such as Meryl Streep, Daniel Day Lewis and Sean pan; Now, Langley has made a further breakthrough in business, becoming the second Tom Hanks in the past two decades.

Tom Hanks' high status in North America is needless to say. Since the commercial market of movies was fully developed in the 1980s, he is the only actor who can win full support between art and business; After him, Leonardo DiCaprio is regarded as his successor, but unfortunately, until 2014, Leonardo still failed to break through the shackles of the golden man in the awards.

However, even Tom Hanks is not a member of the 20 million club!

Of course, it's not because Tom is not qualified, but because he chooses the style of his works. Even if he takes on commercial films, Tom mostly chooses biographies of celebrities, such as "Forrest Gump", "Apollo 13" or "the rest of his life on a desert island", or romantic love dramas, such as "sleepless in Seattle", "electronic love letter" or "happy terminal", The rare exception is to take on the "Da Vinci Code", these works have not been able to bring a breakthrough in film remuneration after all.

It can be understood that Tom's image has made him successful in some ways and limited him in others.

Until Langley showed up.

From awards to box office, lanli is taking over the North American market; What's more, Tom still appears in public as a perfect traditional good man in the United States, while lanli is still a charming golden bachelor. He has been the champion of "the sexiest man in the world" for two years in a row, which makes lanli's commercial value soar and the number of film payment rise.

Now, "gravity" and "drunken folk songs" are both exploding in the market, so what is the pay figure of lanli?

At the beginning, Barry Meyer, the then CEO, went to London to discuss the film's remuneration. Lanli didn't raise the price, Barry didn't lower the price. The two sides had a very pleasant conversation, which also continued the good cooperative relationship between the two sides and successfully let Warner Brothers seize the opportunity.

The production cost of "gravity" is only $100 million, so Langley chose the way of box office bonus to jointly bear the risk of film production

Ten percent of the North American box office bonus.

It also means that Langley will make $63.5 million from this movie - before tax, of course. Langley's New York City is one of the highest tax states in the United States. After deducting taxes, that's not the case; Even so, it still caused a stir in North America.

63.5 million dollars!

This is the source of the rumor of "hundreds of millions of fortune". From "tomorrow's edge" to "gravity", the box office of just two works easily pushed Lan Li's fortune over 100 million US dollars. Quietly, this actor, who started with excellent acting skills and independent works of art, is becoming the most profitable actor in North America.
