Chapter 2254

The Christmas dinner in Prince's garden is quietly watched and watched by many people in London. It is lively but quiet. It seems that the mistletoe hanging on the gate has not been removed yet. The new year's bell has been ringing in my ears. The fireworks are in full bloom and the party is embracing the arrival of 2015 with open arms.

Another year.

Just in 2014, when the curtain just came to an end, a series of major events happened again in Hollywood. Just as Gavin hunt felt when he wrote a special report for "American weekly", it was a turbulent year, and the trivial and subtle turning points pieced together the whole year.

The debut of Sisyphus pictures, the turmoil of Warner Brothers, the welcome of Universal Pictures, the accumulation of Disney, the rise of Netflix, the rise of Lion Gate pictures... All of these promote the continuous progress of the times. Only the real wise can spy on the overall situation.

As for the other fools, they can only look up at the space above their heads, looking forward to catching the moment of opportunity. For them, the year-end box office in North America and the year-end box office in the world are the summary of statistics. They may not be able to find out the secret, but they can at least keep up with the tide of the times and pray, Don't be too far behind the pace of progress.

The year before that, that is, in 2013, North America witnessed the summit of lanli. With the record data of 630 million in North America and 1.64 billion in the world, gravity won the year-end double list champion. This is also the first time in lanli's career that lanli topped the year-end box office champion in North America and the world.

No doubt, this is a crucial turning point. Just like Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and other superstars, Langley has finally collected this achievement puzzle, completed another milestone in the grand blueprint of his career, and officially established his position.

This year, lanli went a step further, becoming the first actor in the history of film to win the year-end box office champion of both North America and the world with non series films.

Before that, Harrison Ford won the year-end box office champion in North America in 1980 and 1981 relying on "Star Wars 2" and "Raider", while Tom Hanks completed this feat in 1994 and 1995 through "Forrest Gump" and "Toy Story".

However, what's unique about the two films is that they are both non sequels and non series works - and it's a step further than Tom Hanks' dubbing of toy story, because this year lanli also dubs cartoons, and the box office figures are also very gratifying.

In 2014, "Star Trek" was on the top of the box office list of the year-end films, and it successfully topped the double list of North America and the world, achieving another feat of Langley.

The first is the North American list.

"Star Trek" won the championship with $455 million in data. For the second year in a row, it defeated the "hunger game" series. Last year's "gravity" defeated "hunger Game 2", and this year's "Star Trek" defeated "hunger Game 3" (Part 1), two new generation leaders, Langley and Jennifer Lawrence, But unexpectedly, the box office data to fight, and ultimately Lan Li successfully defended his position.

It was followed by the "super Marines", with a record of 393 million yuan, ranking second at the end of the year. This also means that lanli alone won the top two in the year-end list, which really explains the meaning of the phrase "red and purple", and Harrison Ford did not do so at his peak.

Compared with Tom Hanks in 1994 and 1995, Langley showed the absolute power of conquering thousands of troops, which is shocking.

Then came the "American sniper" whose black horse posture broke countless glasses, the "hunger Game 3" (Part 1) "whose box office data gradually declined, and the" Galaxy guard "who was born as a mob, occupying the third to fifth places in the year-end list respectively.

The above-mentioned five works, namely, all the list of North American box office breaking through 300 million in 2014, clearly set a dividing line for the annual box office summary report; The number of works that broke through 200 million at the box office reached 14, one more than last year.

The other nine North American films that broke the box office of 200 million were "Captain America 2", "LEGO movies", "hobbit 3", "Transformers 4" and "sleeping curse", followed by "X-Men: reversing the future", "rising scarlet ball 2: Battle of dawn", "extraordinary Spider Man 2" and "Godzilla".

On the year-end list, these works rank sixth to fourteenth.

In addition, "pop drummer" ranked in the top 20 with a score of 188 million, ranking 16th, followed by "dragon Trainer 2" and "lost lover", which is also the highest ranking of works in the award season - unless "Star Trek" can make a difference in the award season.

The box office figures of "hobbit 3", "Transformers 4", "Spiderman 2" and "Godzilla" are all lower than expected, even leading to the loss of film production companies. The follow-up effects are also clear:

The direct result of the unsatisfactory performance of "hobbit 3" and "Godzilla" is that Warner Brothers lacks the continuous development and operation of series of works, and is forced to put all chips on the DC Universe“ The result of "extraordinary Spider Man 2" was far from satisfactory to Sony, which led to Andrew Garfield's version of spider man being cut to the waist directly, restarting the series for the third time in ten years, and then selecting new actors for spider man.

At the same time, the box office performance of "American sniper", "LEGO movie" and "sleeping curse" has far exceeded expectations and gained a lot in a dark horse manner, which naturally leads to a series of follow-up activities

"American sniper" makes Bradley Cooper a successful front-line producer. He not only becomes a real power producer, but also ranks among the top in the industry“ The great success of "LEGO movies" has given birth to Warner Brothers' rapid development in the field of animation production, from animation movies to animation series, especially the development of DC in the animation level, which far exceeds the achievements of live action movies; Of course, the "sleeping curse" has strengthened Disney's determination to make animated films in real life. "Beauty and the beast", "Aladdin", "Dumbo" and "Hua Mulan" are all on the agenda.

As for lanli, the trio of "Star Trek", "super marine" and "pop drummer" has once again consolidated his absolute position as the first person in the industry. He can compete with the six major Hollywood film companies only by himself; Plus Sisyphus, his ability is not limited to this.

On this basis, the agitation and changes within the entire Hollywood industry can be foreseen, and even the European market will inevitably be involved in it - what's more, Langley has been making frequent moves in the European market, especially the three major film festivals. It is hoped that they will join the Don Quixote channel. Obviously, this storm will continue.

The feat of winning the year-end box office champion and runner up has made lanli's reputation reach an unprecedented high - the only one who can surpass lanli is lanli himself.

Second is the global list.

"Star Trek" beat transformers 4, which had an outstanding performance in the overseas market, to the top with a result of US $1127 million, and the leading edge was only 20 million. However, it still achieved the feat of lanli's leading role in the annual double list for two consecutive years.

Compared with the North American market, lanli's appeal in overseas areas is no less than that of other countries. Even in the face-to-face competition with series films and manggai films, lanli's popularity has never fallen behind. It truly shows the dignity of "lanli's single universe" and pushes his personal reputation to a new high in history.

Numbers don't lie. In addition to "Star Trek", the global box office of "super Marines" also exceeded one billion. In the end, it only lagged behind "Transformers 4" by about 80 million US dollars, ranking third in the global year-end box office list.

Although Langley failed to copy the feat of winning the top two in the North American list, in 2014, the box office of only three works in the world exceeded one billion US dollars, and Langley occupied two seats alone. Such a fierce and strong performance is not inferior to that of North America.

"Hobbit 3" ranked the fourth in the global box office of the year, with the achievements of 956 million. It also made people feel the strong mass base of the whole series, which has been inherited all the way from the "Lord of the rings" era; However, the global box office data has been faulted since then. The cumulative box office of the fifth ranked works has directly dropped to 700 million files. It can be clearly perceived that the aesthetic fatigue of the era of free film is emerging.

"Galaxy guard", "sleeping curse", "hunger Game 3 (Part 1)", "X-Men: turning the future", "Captain America 2", "rising scarlet ball 2" and "extraordinary Spider Man 2" occupied the rest of the top ten places respectively.

On the whole, the members of the global list are basically consistent with those of the North American list. The biggest change is that "LEGO movies" fell out of the top 15 in the global box office; And the overseas market performance of "American sniper" can only be said to be in line, directly falling out of the top ten. In addition, other works have successfully held their own position, and relying on the performance of overseas box office, to a certain extent, they have reversed the unsatisfactory situation of North American box office.

It is worth mentioning that "pop drummer" ranked 24th on the year-end list with 356 million global box office data. This performance also continued the popularity of the work at the end of the year. However, it was slightly inferior to "the lost lover". The performance of this work in overseas markets was also more courageous, and finally it won 369 million worldwide, I came to No. 21 on the list.

From the North American list to the global ranking, from 2013 to 2014, Langley showed an unparalleled powerful ruling power. With real data performance, Langley proved his status as the first person in Hollywood today, and its influence and appeal have really reached a new high. It has become a brand-new label of popular culture and film culture, and has further become a part of the mark of the times.

If you don't know lanli, you are behind the times.
