The Christmas dinner in the Prince’s Garden came to an end in a lively but quiet manner amidst the quiet glances and prying eyes of London’s many sights. It seemed that before the mistletoe hanging above the gate was picked off, the bell of the New Year’s Eve was already there. In my ears, the cheers of fireworks and the party are embracing the arrival of 2015 with open arms.

It's another year.

In 2014, when the curtain just came to an end, a series of major events happened again in Hollywood. Just as Gavin Hunter felt when he wrote a special report for "U.S. Weekly", this was a year of turbulent undercurrents, and each one was trivial and trivial. The subtle turning points put together the appearance of the whole year.

The debut of Sisyphus Pictures, the turmoil of Warner Bros., the welcome of Universal Pictures, the accumulation of Disney, the rise of Netflix, the rise of Lionsgate...all of these are driving the wheels of the times OK, only the real wise man can see the whole picture.

As for the other fools who are in it, they can only look up at the square above their heads, looking forward to capturing the moment when the timing flashes. For them, the North American year-end box office list and the global year-end box office list are statistics. I may not be able to explore the secrets with this, but at least I can keep up with the pace of the tide of the times, and pray that I will not be too far down by the pace of progress.

The year before that, in 2013, North America witnessed the summit of Lanly. "Gravity" was crowned the year-end double list champion with the data of 630 million in North America and 1.64 billion in the world. , This is also the first time in his career that Renly has topped the year-end box office champion in North America and the world.

Undoubtedly, this is a crucial turning point. Just like Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and other superstars, Lan Li finally collected this achievement puzzle and completed his career. Another milestone in the magnificent blueprint, the status is officially established.

And this year, Lan Li went to the next level, becoming the first actor in film history to win both North American and global year-end box office champions with a non-series film.

Prior to this, Harrison Ford relied on "Star Wars 2" and "Indiana Jones" in 1980 and 1981 to win the North American year-end box office champion. Tom Hanks passed the "A" in 1994 and 1995. Two works, "Gan Zhengchuan" and "Toy Story" completed this feat.

However, the unique feature of Lan Li is that both films are non-sequences and non-series works-and it is a step further than Tom Hanks’s dubbing of "Toy Story", because Lan Li is also the same this year. Dubbing for the cartoon, box office numbers are also very gratifying.

On the 2014 year-end movie box office list, "Interstellar" successfully reached the top of the North American and global double charts, achieving another feat of Lan Li.

The first is the North American list.

"Interstellar" won the championship with 455 million U.S. dollars and defeated the "Hunger Games" series for the second year in a row. Last year's "Gravity" defeated "The Hunger Games 2", and this year's "Interstellar" once again defeated "The Hunger Games 3 (Part 1. Renly and Jennifer Lawrence, the two new-generation leaders, unexpectedly started a duel with box office data. In the end, Renly successfully defended his own. status.

Followed by the "Big Marine Corps", the score of 393 million is really impressive, ranking runner-up at the end of the year, which also means that Lan Li alone dominates the top two of the year-end list. The name truly interprets the meaning of the phrase "red and purple", and Harrison Ford at his peak did not perform this way.

Compared with Tom Hanks in 1994 and 1995, Lan Li has shown an absolute dominance of sweeping the army to a higher level, which is terrifying.

Then came the "American Sniper" whose dark horse posture broke through countless spectacles, the "Hunger Games 3 (Part 1 whose box office data gradually declined, and the "Guardians of the Galaxy" who emerged as a mob, occupying the top of the year-end list respectively. Three to fifth place.

The above-mentioned five works are all the lists of North American box office that exceeded 300 million in 2014. They clearly drew a dividing line for the annual box office summary report; and the number of works that exceeded 200 million in the box office in the whole year reached fourteen, compared with last year. One more.

The other nine North American works that exceeded the 200 million box office were, "Captain America 2", "The Lego Movie", "The Hobbit 3", "Transformers 4", "Maleficent", and then "X-Men" : Reversing the Future", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2: The Battle of Dawn", "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", "Godzilla".

On the year-end list, these works ranked sixth to fourteenth in turn.

In addition, "Burst Drummer" ranked in the top 20 with a score of 188 million, ranking sixteenth. Behind them are "How to Train Your Dragon 2" and "The Lost Lover", which is also The highest ranking of works in the awards season-unless "Interstellar" can make a difference in the awards season.

Looking at the above list of works, the box office data of "The Hobbit 3", "Transformers 4", "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and "Godzilla" were all lower than expected, and even led to the loss of the film studio. , The subsequent chain impact is also clearly visible:

The direct result of the unsatisfactory performance of "The Hobbit 3" and "Godzilla" is that Warner Bros. lacked the continuous development and operation of the series, and was forced to put all its chips on the DC Universe; "Extraordinary The results of "Spider-Man 2" were far from satisfactory to Sony, which led to the death of Andrew Garfield's version of Spider-Man. The series was restarted for the third time in ten years, and then the Spider-Man actors were re-selected.

At the same time, the box office performances of "American Sniper", "Lego Movie", and "Maleficent" far exceeded expectations. They were rewarded with a dark horse posture, and naturally a series of follow-ups were derived:

The "American Sniper" made Bradley Cooper successfully rank among the top. Not only did he become a real-power producer, but he also became one of the top ranks in the industry, truly occupying a place; the huge success of the "Lego Movie" gave birth to Warner Bros. The rapid advancement in the field of animation production, from animated films to animated dramas, especially the development of DC at the animation level, far exceeds the performance of live-action movies; of course, there is "Sleeping Curse" that has strengthened Disney's shooting of live-action animated movies. The determination of the edition, "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin", "Dumbo" and "Mulan" are all on the agenda.

As for Lan Li, the trio of "Interstellar", "Big Hero 6" and "Burst Drummer" once again consolidated his absolute position as the number one person in the industry. Only by relying on himself, he can break with the six major Hollywood studios. The wrist is gone; coupled with Sisyphus Pictures, his abilities are even more not limited to this.

Based on this, the upheavals and changes within the entire Hollywood industry are foreseeable, and even the European market is inevitably involved-not to mention that Lanli is already active in the European market, especially the three major movies. Festival hopes that they can also join the ranks of Don Quixote Channel, this storm will obviously continue.

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

Followed by the global list.

"Interstellar" beat the outstanding performance of "Transformers 4" in overseas markets with a performance of 1.127 billion U.S. dollars, and reached the top of the championship with a lead of only 20 million, but it still made the blue. For two consecutive years, Li dominated the annual double list with his leading work.

Compared with the North American market, Lanly’s appeal in overseas regions is not inferior. Even if it is directly fighting with series of movies and comics, it does not lose the wind. It truly shows the majesty of the "Lanly Single Universe". , Pushing personal prestige to a record high.

The numbers will not lie. In addition to "Interstellar", the "Big Hero 6" global box office also exceeded one billion, and eventually only lags behind the "Transformers 4" by about 80 million US dollars, ranking in the global year-end box office list. In the third place.

Although Lan Li was not able to replicate the feat of taking the top two on the North American list, in 2014, there were only three works worldwide that exceeded $1 billion at the box office. Lan Li occupied two seats alone, so sturdy. And the strong performance is not inferior to North America at all.

The fourth place in the annual global box office is "The Hobbit 3", with a score of 956 million ~www.novelhall.com~, which still makes people feel the strong mass foundation of the entire series of works. The era of "Ji" has been followed all the way; but the global box office data has been broken from here. The fifth-ranked work has a cumulative box office of 700 million. It can be clearly noticed that the aesthetic fatigue of the era of comic movies is emerging.

"Guardians of the Galaxy", "Maleficent", "The Hunger Games 3 (Part 1, "X-Men: Reversing the Future", "Captain America 2", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2", and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" respectively Occupy the remaining positions in the top ten.

On the whole, the global list is basically the same as the members of the North American list. The biggest change is that the "Lego Movie" has fallen out of the top 15 in the global box office; and the overseas market performance of the "American Sniper" is also It can only be said to be quite satisfactory and fell directly out of the top ten. In addition, other works have successfully maintained their position, and relying on the performance of overseas box office, to a certain extent reverse the unsatisfactory situation of North American box office.

It is worth mentioning that "Burst Drummer" with a global box office data of 356 million, occupies the twenty-fourth position on the year-end list. This performance also continues the popularity of the work at the end of the year. ——However, slightly inferior to the "disappearing lover", the performance of this work in the overseas market is also more and more courageous. In the end, the world raked in 369 million yuan and came to the 21st place on the list.

From the North American rankings to the global rankings, from 2013 to 2014, Lanly demonstrated unparalleled strong dominance, and proved his status as the number one man in Hollywood today with real data performance, and his influence and appeal have truly reached After reaching new heights, it has become a brand new label for popular culture and film culture, and has further become part of the imprint of the times.

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