The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 1616: Billionaire

No one can predict that "gravity" will win the 2013 North American year-end box office rankings.

Similarly, no one could have expected that "Drunk Country Folk Songs" would surpass "Thor 2" at the year-end box office.

The words of praise that focused on Lan Li have long since broken the table. Needless to say, it only makes people more disappointed at the box office of "Star Trek" and "Thor 2"-interestingly, these two works have exactly the same effect. The appearance of Rees Hemsworth is really a very, very magical thing, isn't it?

But compared to the negative news, the positive news still makes people more happy: "Zombie World War" and "Crazy Primitive" are such works.

The former is a work starring Brad Pitt. Before it was released, there was a steady stream of negative news about the work. From internal disagreements to editing conflicts, the production team seemed to be unable to unify opinions.

The disagreement between director Mark-Forster (Mark-Forster) and producer Brad Pitt detonated the powder keg. In the end, Paramount was on Brad’s side, leading to Mark’s runaway and post-production problems. A lot of things forced Paramount to change the release schedule three times in a row; then during the internal trial screening, the feedback was ambiguous, and everyone was secretive.

Everything casts a shadow over the prospect of the movie.

Who knows, after the movie was released, it completed a counterattack. Although it has never topped the weekend box office rankings, the cumulative box office has exceeded 200 million US dollars, which brought a small surprise. Although the cost of the movie 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 that has been turbulent in recent years.

In fact, DreamWorks works still maintain good quality. Works such as "Kung Fu Panda" and "How to Train Your Dragon" have won good acclaim, but their box office performance has always been somewhat different from expectations, not to mention "Shrek". The pinnacle works are comparable, even when compared with rising stars like Lighting Entertainment, they are gradually being left behind.

This time the "crazy primitive man" can be said to be applauded and well received, and successfully started the battle of DreamWorks, which is really gratifying. Compared with Disney and Lighting Entertainment, DreamWorks' whimsical ideas are still their killer. They have found a beautiful balance between anti-traditional absurdity and wisdom. This is also their capital for the North American market.

On the whole, the 2013 year-end North American box office rankings can be said to coexist with surprises and regrets, and Lanly has undoubtedly become the biggest winner of the year.

This is also the first time Renly's actor's career has reached the top of the year-end box office in North America! Moreover, "Gravity" is still a work by Lan Li alone, and its significance is even more extraordinary.

The same situation has also continued to the top of the global year-end box office rankings.

The global box office of the three works of "Gravity", "Frozen" and "Iron Man 3" all broke through the one billion threshold. In terms of numbers, it is lower than last year's four titles-2012's Revenge "League of Heroes", "007: Breaking the Sky", "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight", and "The Hobbit" have all achieved such feats, but the overall quality of the three works this year is even better.

Among them, "Gravity" surpassed last year's "Avengers" with a staggering number of 1.643 billion, ranking third on the film history box office list.

"Frozen" relied on its strong reputation, and completed counterattacks in overseas markets. It was fourth in North America and second in the world, with a score of 1.276 billion, but easily surpassed last year's other three works— -The global box office of "Breakthrough Crisis", "The Rise of the Dark Knight" and "The Hobbit" will all be in the early billions.

"Iron Man 3" also continued the strong appeal of the Marvel family, with an overseas box office of 1.210 billion, creating the highest series of Marvel universe works, second only to the "Avengers", but the total box office was regrettable. The earth lost to "Gravity" and "Frozen", coupled with the "Hunger Games 2" swept across North America and the world's weak, this also gave major film companies a revelation——

Although the adaptation works can easily reap the box office, the quality of the works is still the core standard that determines the market direction. For those companies other than Warner Bros. and Disney that do not have the copyright of the adaptation, it is undoubtedly a vital enlightenment, especially Small companies other than the six major film companies.

In the end, "Gravity", "Frozen", and "Iron Man 3" topped the top three in the global year-end box office rankings. Among them, "Gravity" succeeded in winning doubles in the fierce competition. The champion of the list is undoubtedly the biggest winner in 2013.

In addition to these three behemoths that swept the billion box office, "Despicable Me 2", "The Hobbit 2", "The Hunger Games 2", "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 6", "Monster University", and "Superman" "The Body of Steel" and "Thor 2" respectively occupy the remaining seven positions of the top ten, constituting this year's global year-end box office total.

Compared with the North American box office, "Thor 2" replaced "Magic Land and Wizardry". This is the only change. Other works have slightly changed rankings.

The strength of comic-based films and the recovery of animated films-"Crazy Primitives" ranks 11th in the global list. The fall of sequel movies and the rise of dark horse works have become the largest in the entire film market in 2013. Portrayal, the enlightenment and changes derived from this are quietly fermenting.

By the way, the "Drunk Country Folk Song", which has clearly fallen in the overseas box office, lacks fighting power in the global box office rankings. Compared with the more market-friendly "Wolf of Wall Street" ranked 17th in the world, there is also a gorgeous and moving "Folk". "The Great Gatsby" ranks twentieth in the world, which once again proves Leonardo DiCaprio's global appeal.

In the end, "Drunk Country Folk Songs" ranked 30th on the year-end list with a global box office of 270 million.

Nevertheless, compared to Leonardo’s box office results, people are still more amazed at Lanly’s market potential. After all, "Drunk Country Folk Song" is a work that does not have any box office ability in all aspects. To be able to reach the top 30 in the global year-end list, this is the real sturdy.

From the North American box office to the global box office, Lan Li has taken the lead in becoming the focus of attention, which has also become the source of the "billionaires" rumors.

After the start of 2014, what is the hottest and most sensational news in the entire industry?

Not the awards season, but the blue gift. To be more accurate, it should be Lan Li's pay.

The two works "Gravity" and "Drunk Country Folk Songs" successively became the strongest hits in the second half of the year. The former detonated the autumn files and the latter broke the shackles of the art box office. Leaving aside the prospects of the awards season, we only rely on box office data. It is enough to change the fixed concept of the entire industry.

Undoubtedly, this also focused all attention on Lan Li.

From EGOT to the three major film festivals in Europe’s three major film festivals, Renly’s achievements in the field of art have reached unparalleled heights, even when compared to Meryl Streep and Daniel Day. -Lewis and Sean Penn are not inferior; and now, Lan Li has made further breakthroughs in the commercial field, becoming the second Tom Han in the past two decades. Kess.

Tom Hanks’s lofty status in North America needless to say. Since the commercial market for movies was fully developed in the 1980s, he has been the only actor who can win full support between art and business; after him, Lai Leonardo DiCaprio is considered his successor, but unfortunately, until 2014, Leonardo still has not been able to break through the shackles of the Golden Man in terms of awards. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

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

Of course, it is definitely not because Tom is not qualified, but because Tom chooses the style of his work-even if he takes commercial films, Tom usually chooses celebrity biographies, such as "Forrest Gump", "Apollo 13" or "Desert Island" The rest of my life", or romantic comedy, such as "Seattle Sleepless", "Electronic Love Letter" or "Happiness Terminal", the rare exception is the filming of "The Da Vinci Code", these works are still not able to Bring a breakthrough in terms of remuneration.

It can be understood that Tom's image has made him in some ways, but also restricted him in other ways.

Until Lan Li appeared.

From awards to box office, Lan Li is taking over the North American market; more importantly, Tom appears to the public as a perfect American traditional good man, while Lan Li is still a charismatic golden bachelor. He has been in succession. For two years, it has been ranked as the "world's most/sexy/sexy man" champion on top of the major vote rankings. This has also made the commercial value of Lanli soaring, and the number of remunerations has naturally continued to rise.

Now, both "Gravity" and "Drunk Country Folk Songs" have both detonated the market ~lightnovelpub.net~ So what about the pay figures of Lan Li?

When the filming of "Gravity" was first taken, the then CEO Barry Meyer personally went to London to negotiate the remuneration. Lan Li did not raise the price, nor did Barry lower the price. The conversation between the two parties was very pleasant, which also continued the good relationship between the two parties. The cooperative relationship successfully allowed Warner Bros. to seize the opportunity.

The production cost of "Gravity" is only 100 million US dollars, so Lan Li chose the method of box office dividends and jointly assumed the production risk of the film:

Ten percent of North American box office dividends.

This also means that Lanly will earn 63.5 million U.S. dollars by virtue of this movie-of course, this is before tax. New York, where Lanly is located, is one of the highest tax states in the United States. After deducting taxes, , The number is not so; even so, it still made a sensation throughout North America.

$63.5 million!

This is the source of the rumors of "billions of wealth". From "Edge of Tomorrow" to "Gravity", the box office of just two works easily pushed Lan Li's fortune over 100 million US dollars. Quietly, this name Actors who started with excellent acting skills and independent works of art are becoming the most profitable actors in North America.
