Chapter 433： young leaders

The biggest highlight of the 60th Golden Globe Awards is that "Chicago", who won three trophies, became the favorite candidates for the Oscars, "All the Time" and "About Schmidt" and Evan Bell.

"Chicago" three awards for "All the Time", "About Schmidt", "Gangs of New York", "Adapted Screenplay" two awards each, in addition to the best soundtrack award won by "Frida", the best foreign language film by Spain's "Tell Her" won, and all other film awards were swept by the above five films, which shows the concentration of popular films. Among them, the horse Sykesace "accidentally" won the Best Director Award, and the Best Adapted Screenplay was won by Alexander Payne of "About Schmidt" over Charlie Kaufman, which is regarded as a few slightly unexpected results. , the rest can only be said to be calm.

Therefore, the media also seems to be sluggish, and the enthusiasm for discussion is not high. Most of the clips are analyzing the future prospects of these five films at the Oscars.

At present, it seems that the media predicts that the Oscar winner list with the highest repetition rate is actually the best supporting actor. Everyone agrees that Evan and Bell are the best and lead this award with an absolute advantage.

On the contrary, Meryl Streep was shortlisted for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress because of "All the Time" and "Adapted Screenplay". There are differences and disputes among the media.

In this way, Evan Bell has become one of the highlights after this Golden Globe Awards ceremony that cannot be ignored. This time, the focus is on "breakthrough".

Whether it's Evan Bell's unconventional appearance on the red carpet with no collar and no tie, breaking the rules of the red carpet for movie awards for years: Or winning the Golden Globe Award at the age of 20. Supporting Actor Award: Or in the whole year of 2002, "Ice Age", "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", "Sniper at the Phone Booth", "Adapted Script" made him the most watched new-generation actor in one fell swoop... All a breakthrough.

After the media analysis, I thought about it carefully and found that Lou Wenyi Bell has only debuted for two years. The birth in 2001 is still in sight, and in 2002, it has risen strongly with an amazing trend. It is definitely called Leaders of the younger generation.

When looking back on 2001, everyone would say that the indie music boy who played the guitar and sang "Just a Dream", and he only made a name for himself in movies with a "Death Illusion": but looking back at 2002 At the age of 20, everyone found that the teenager had created jaw-droppingly good results in both music and film, and completely became a top artist with appeal in both music and film.

Among the films released in North America in 2002, there were 23 films with a box office of more than 100 million yuan, and nine films with a box office of 200 million yuan. In the list of these nine works, Evan and Bell alone occupied two places!

"Spider-Man" won the 2002 North American movie box office championship with 400 million box office, but David Greenblatt once again thought of the fact that Evan Bell had the opportunity to star in this movie, and couldn't help feeling embarrassed. After that, "Star Wars Prequel 2: Attack of the Clones" won the runner-up position with 300 million box office, and "Harry Bōte 2" was released only during the Christmas period at the end of the year.

And "The Lord of the Rings 2" also ranked third and fourth in the year-end box office rankings with a momentum not inferior to others.

The starring list of the fifth and sixth films has a common name, Evan-Bell. "Ice Age" took 228 million at the box office, and "Sniper Phone Booth" ranked fifth and sixth in the 2002 North American box office chart with 223 million. This achievement is so sturdy that Huan made a group of big-name stars who claim to be full of box office appeal collectively ashamed. Among them, "Sniper Wife Talking Pavilion" broke through the 200 million threshold only by relying on Evan-Bell's amazing appeal, which also made many media compare Evan-Bell and "Shihuang" Will-Smith.

The media is always like this, when they see a little result, they start to chase after them, as if the actor has become the best in history: the same can be said, as long as there is a film that fails at the box office, the name of "box office poison" will not wait to move out. . Under such circumstances, it was not easy for Will Smith to obtain the title of "Historical Emperor" under the vicious tongue of the media.

Will Smith is also an amphibious artist in music films. Not only has he been recognized four times before and after the Grammys, but he has only appeared in more than a dozen films since he was filmed, but each film has a box office of more than 100 million US dollars, because Let the media have to admire him. Today, Will Smith is also one of Hollywood's most popular actors at the box office. He is also the highest paid black Hollywood star and the only actor who can compete with Denzel Washington, the first black actor in history.

Will Smith's current reputation is built on the accumulation of the past ten years. In the year of the umbrella, "Men in Black", which once created a box office myth of nearly 600 million in 1997, launched the sequel "Men in Black 2" in the summer vacation, and once again created a remarkable achievement at the box office, winning 100 million in North America. Million dollar box office. In contrast, Evan Bell, who debuted only two years ago, actually has two works over 200 million in the North American year-end box office rankings this year, which greatly exceeds the performance of Will Smith. The media compares Evan-Bell with Will-Smith, which can be regarded as an alternative affirmation to Evan-Bell.

Of course, it will be a very long process for Evan-Bell to truly be on a par with Will-Smith, not to mention that Will-Smith has been in the top actor position for ten years, just that Will-Smith To be able to get a salary of 20 million US dollars and still get 20% of the box office dividends belonging to the production company in "Men in Black 2" is not comparable to Evan Bell, who has only debuted for two years. A real superstar does not depend on the touts of the media, nor can it be counted on the basis of a year of wonderful performance.

But in any case, 2002 is the year of Evan-Bell, which is beyond doubt, and the media's argument also shows that the media is now looking forward to Evan-Bell's performance in 2003 and after.

In the list of over 200 million movies, "Tian Omen", "My Big Greek Wedding" and "Ace Powers 3" are the last three works. Among them, the only one that can be compared with Evan Bell is probably the 5 million investment in exchange for the 200 million box office "My Grand Wedding in Greece", this comedy film became a well-deserved dark horse champion in 2002, even if it is "Sniper Phone Booth", it can't help but be defeated.

In addition, films such as "Men in Black 2", "007: Die Another Day", "Interstellar Baby", "Extreme Agent", "Minority Report" and other films have also achieved good box office results, making the 2002 film North American box office charts are buzzing with excitement.

In addition to the 23 films with a box office of over 100 million, "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", which achieved a box office of 99 million US dollars, became the most regrettable work that failed to exceed 100 million, ranking 24th.

Although the box office performance of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" failed to create a miracle in the end, it was just an attempt by Christopher Nolan in a commercial film, and it was also his first attempt at a mainstream theme after the wonderful "Fragments of Memories", which can be regarded as a test of the water. . Such achievements have not only given Warner Bros. a certain understanding of Christopher Nolan's talent, but also a certain confidence in Christopher Nolan's future.

In addition, the "adapted screenplay", which was released in December, has been limited in the early stage, so naturally the box office will not be able to compete. It is very rare to be able to obtain a ranking of fifty-seventh.

Evan Bell dominated the North American box office charts in 2002 with "Ice Age" and "Sniper Phone Booth", which made many film companies wave their cash in the hope that Evan Bell would favor their scripts. At the same time, "Ice Age" and "Sniper Phone Booth" have also achieved good results in the global box office rankings.

"The Lord of the Rings" dominates the global box office charts, taking 920 million at the box office: "Spider-Man" is runner-up with 100 million behind: "Star Wars Episode II," Harry "One Bō Special 2" followed closely. These blockbusters have a global box office of 500 to 600 million, which is amazing. In contrast, "Ice Age" and "Sniper Phone Booth" still lack some global appeal.

"Ice Age" has a cumulative global box office of US$480 million ranked eighth in the 2002 global box office rankings. 30 million US dollars, squeezed into the top 20 of the global movie box office chart, occupying the 12th position. "Bai Ye Chase" has a total global box office of 170 million US dollars and can be ranked in the top 40 worldwide.

Although this achievement is slightly inferior to the strong momentum in North America, this is only the second year of Evan Bell's acting career, and there is an eighth and a Gu Twelve work on a global scale. , no one will feel that this result is not enough.

Looking at the world, "Ice Age" has a good box office in the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, China, Japan and other countries: "Sniper Phone Booth," is well received in Germany, France, South Korea, China and other places. Pursuit: If coupled with the Nordic countries' love for "chasing the murderer in the white night", Evan Bell is indeed expanding the world's territory little by little. The title of "young leader" is not only shouted by the media, but also more Because there are numerous facts that prove Evan Bell's appeal.

In the movie, Evan-Bell confirmed his ability at the box office, and the awards also made great progress: Music, Evan-Bell experienced a year that made everyone feel terrified, and created only Evan-Bell. Special music reputation. ! .
