Chapter 1048： Another year
The sun in 1994 was finally blocked under the blue shade of the sea horizon, and then when the sun broke free again and spilled onto the ground, the hourglass in 1995 had already begun to fall.
The advent of 1995 also means that the first half of the 1990s is about to end. It seems that the millennium is not far away. When people stand on the land of the New Year and look back on 1994, they discovered that the past A year has created countless brilliance, and even reproduced the majesty of the golden age of Hollywood.
This is really interesting. 1993 was the reappearance of the golden age of rock and roll, and 1994 was the resurrection of the golden age of film. After experiencing the ups and downs of the Vietnam War, the economic crisis, the presidential scandal, and the media crisis, the American entertainment market finally showed a gratifying trend. From this aspect, it can also be seen that American society is gradually emerging from the haze.
Many people think that 1993 was the year of the rise of Hugo, in that year Hugo created unparalleled glory, the success of "Night Sleep in Seattle" and "Schindler's List" plus the album "Almost Fame" "The best-selling made Hugo smoothly rank among the top; but no one could have predicted that 1994 brought Hugo to the next level, becoming the nation's top presence in one fell swoop.
When people look back on the storm that Hugo set off in 1994, apart from the honors of Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor in Cannes, Hugo’s works light up the whole year with an unstoppable attitude. .
1994 is considered the "year of the film". This is also the most important year for Hollywood in the next 30 years after the 1980s. In this year, the film market witnessed " The rise of movies represented by "Pulp Fiction" witnessed the peak of action movies represented by "True Lies" and "Speed of Life and Death", witnessed the American Dream storm brought by "Forrest Gump", and witnessed the "Monsters in Disguise" The comedy movie frenzy triggered by "Jie" and "Dumb and Agua" witnessed the special thematic movie trend brought by "Interview with the Vampire", and witnessed the "Shawshank's Redemption" being submerged in a wave of countless works... this is In the years when countless movies collectively broke out, classic masterpieces have emerged one after another and countless.
Just a single year in 1994 is worthy of the accumulation of one year or even several years in Hollywood at other times.
Hugo's two works "Speed of Life and Death" and "Pulp Fiction" can be described as a two-pronged approach. They can easily occupy a place on the year-end summary lists, even in such a glorious 1994.
On the North American year-end box office rankings, "Forrest Gump" took the lead, with a box office data of 329 million U.S. dollars. This victory is generally regarded as a victory for American society. The film "Forrest Gump" has been given too many profound meanings, and its artistic value and commercial value are far less than its historical significance.
Perhaps "Forrest Gump" was not the best work of 1994. After many years, people generally believed that "Pulp Fiction" was the deserved champion of 1994 if only discussing artistic value; maybe "Forrest Gump" would not It is the best film at the box office, not to mention the future. Even in the past, the two films "Alien e.t" and "Jurassic Park" also surpassed "Forrest Gump" at the box office.
However, when every American mentions 1994, he will not miss the "Forrest Gump", because this movie gives the American people hope, like a beautiful American dream that does not want to wake up, and entrusts countless beautiful ideas. This is the true meaning of this movie.
After "Forrest Gump", he created an insurmountable "Lion King" in the animated film, ranking runner-up with a score of 312 million. In the long history of Hollywood for nearly a century, there were only three works that exceeded 300 million, namely "Alien e.t", "Jurassic Park" and "Star Wars", but it was only a year in 1994. Two additional seats have been added.
"The Lion King" is the pinnacle of 2D animation. After that, computer 3D animation represented by Pixar Animation gradually entered the market and changed the pattern of the entire animation market; but even if there are countless computer 3D animations that have created great achievements in the future, " "The Lion King" is still an existence that countless people admire, because this movie has subversively changed the status of cartoons.
"Forrest Gump" and "The Lion King" respectively ranked first and second place in the box office at the end of the year. This was an unexpected but reasonable result, but the third place at the end of the year made countless people fall through their glasses. The "Life and Death Hour", which invested only US$28 million in a strong counterattack, defeated a number of competitors with a total box office of US$239 million, and finally ranked third in the year-end box office rankings.
There is no doubt that the emergence of "Life and Death Speed" broke the pattern of the entire action movie genre, allowing people to walk out of the big production myths such as "Terminator 2" and "True Lies" and return to the eighth stage. The retro action movies before the ten's made people once again feel the infinite charm of traditional action movies.
More importantly, this film confirmed Hugo’s box office appeal. Before the release of "Pulp Fiction", it was the first to achieve Hugo's four consecutive works of over 100 million feats, allowing Hugo to surpass Tom Cruise and Arnold in one fell swoop. -Schwarzenegger, has become the hottest actor in Hollywood. The 20 million remuneration turmoil is proof of Hugo's current popularity.
The three works of "Forrest Gump", "The Lion King" and "Life and Death" are the three works with a box office of over 200 million in 1994. In fact, as of 1994, there are only 15 works with over 200 million. There was only one department last year, but three appeared this year, which shows the prosperity of the entire market.
In the 1994 year-end box office rankings, occupying the fourth place in the third place was another miracle, or a miracle even greater than the "speed of life": "Pulp Fiction."
"Pulp Fiction" with an investment of only 8 million U.S. dollars won a box office of 172 million U.S. dollars in the North American market, surpassing countless tens of millions and 100 million investment works. With the achievements of the end of the year, this performance was easily recorded in the annals of history.
Miramax, a distribution company established less than ten years ago, has achieved an indelible miracle in the history of the film with its unique vision. "Pulp Fiction" invested eight million US dollars in exchange for more than twenty times the income, which is enough to drive the entire movie market crazy. In terms of profit ratio alone, "Pulp Fiction" not only defeated the "speed of life and death" that was also a small-scale, but also defeated the high-investment and high-return "Forrest Gump" and "The Lion King". The king of profit.
What is even more commendable is that compared with the "speed of life and death", the artistic value of "pulp fiction" and the significance of film development are immeasurable.
After Hugo occupied the third and third place in the year-end box office rankings in 1993, Hugo completed Lianzhuang in 1994. It is still the third and fourth place, and it is still the top ten two works. Hugo's box office call Li has no need to prove that he is the most popular actor in the audience today-no need for one.
Speaking of which, people don’t want to believe that Hugo’s highest salary so far is only 8 million U.S. dollars, and he only took 250,000 U.S. dollars at the box office when he filmed "Pulp Fiction". Such a "good and cheap" actor. It has almost become the most beautiful scenery in Hollywood.
Of course, Hugo’s remuneration cannot be so low. He can get 20% of the box office dividend of "Pulp Fiction", which is 34.4 million US dollars before tax; and in the "speed of life and death" he It also enjoys a 15% box office dividend, which is another pre-tax income of 35.85 million U.S. dollars.
In other words, Hugo can get 70 million U.S. dollars in dividends by relying on these two movies-of course, before taxes. This money is not only the highest salary in Hollywood at present, but it is even more exaggerated in 1994. In the salary statistics of Hugo, there is no doubt that Hugo's income is the champion, but his personal income is actually the sum of the second to fifth place, which is too exaggerated. You know, the second to fifth places are Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Hanks and Harrison Ford.
These are almost the most profitable actors in Hollywood from the 1980s to the 1990s-except that Hanks relied on the brand new role of "Forrest Gump". But Hugo alone is comparable to the team of the other four. If this is not a myth, is there anything more magical?
With two movies, Hugo can buy the most luxurious top-notch residence in Beverly Hills.
After the shock and brilliance of the top four, the fifth place belongs to the "true lie". Objectively speaking, "True Lies" is also one of the most outstanding action movies in film history, but its investment cost of over 100 million dollars was only exchanged for a North American box office of 146 million U.S. dollars, which is indeed a bit disappointing. . Of course, the overseas box office of this work has exploded, and Arnold Schwarzenegger is still one of the world's most shining superstars followed by the accomplished "Santa Claus", this This work, which has been suppressed by "Pulp Fiction" during its release, eventually ranked sixth on the year-end list, which can be said to be another example of the top ten. Unfortunately, it still can't compare with the limelight of Hugo's two works.
"Modern Primitives", "Dumb and Agua", "Browning Eyes Chase" and "Ghost in Disguise" are the remaining four works in the top ten. Although "Interview with the Vampire" has a box office of over 100 million, it can only regret its ranking. Eleventh, did not make it into the top ten. In addition, the twelfth-ranked "Gambling Man Mahuali" also has a box office of over 100 million yuan, which is also the year with the most single-year box office entries of over 100 million yuan so far.
Looking at the year-end box office rankings in North America in 1994, in the actor section, "Forrest Gump" made the rise of Tom Hanks. In addition, there are two works of Hugo and Jin- who ranked in the top ten. Kerry's.
Jin-Kerry’s strength is not inferior to Hugo. In 1994, he contributed three top masterpieces, "Dumb and Agua", "Ghost in Disguise" and "Flying Plane", two of which are among the year-end works. In the top ten, this makes him the most shining comedy king in one fell swoop. Within a year, two faces were added to the ranks of box office superstars in a blink of an eye. This is one of the great gains of 1994. ()
