The success of an "Independence Day" amazed film practitioners, made news practitioners lively, and excited movie viewers. From director Roland Emmerich to screenwriter Dean Devlin, from Alexander Lorraine to Sandra Bullock, from Will Smith to Jennifer Aniston, almost the entire crew has benefited from all aspects. , The fiery follow-up effect has caused more or less positive changes in everyone's career.

However, the real beneficiary of the great success of the film is undoubtedly Hugo. As the well-deserved actor of the film and the number one contributor to saving the earth in the film, Hugo has already reached the peak of the times and his popularity has increased abruptly. At the end, Hugo is no longer second to Marlon Brando or second to Paul Newman. He is creating an era that belongs to him, an era that belongs only to him.

After the success of "Independence Day", people's attention was once again focused on Hugo's pay. This was the first film in film history to have a pay of 20 million US dollars. At that time, many people in Hollywood thought it was a Take a bold risk, because the 20 million club will have a huge impact on the entire Hollywood remuneration structure, with immeasurable consequences. Even leaving aside the remuneration of other Hollywood actors and the cost of the film company, Hugo alone is responsible for 20 million US dollars in remuneration, which has caused a heavy burden on the cost of "Independence Day", which is very unfavorable for film production. of.

But now that we re-examine the "20 Million Club", people suddenly find that this is what Hugo deserves!

The positive impact of Hugo’s strong box office appeal on the film far exceeds the value of 20 million in remuneration. Originally, in the 20th century, Fox estimated that the box office of "Independence Day" should be 300 million in North America, 400 million overseas, and 7 globally. The level of 100 million yuan-even this result is a hearty victory for Twentieth Century Fox.

But relying on the power of Hugo, the "Independence Day" finally won 500 million in North America, 700 million overseas, and 1.2 billion worldwide, making Kevin Pence wake up in his dreams. This is the energy of the actor's box office appeal, and this is the value of the 20 million club.

Even more frightening is that after Hugo received 20 million US dollars in remuneration, he still has the qualification for "Independence Day" global box office dividends, although 20th Century Fox has never revealed how much Hugo can get dividends. But at the time this decision was generally considered stupid, and people were worried that Fox made a terrible mistake in the twentieth century-even more deadly than the "Future Water World".

But now it seems that Kevin’s decisive decisive action saved the 20th Century Fox. He not only won the battle of “Independence Day”, he also won the further cooperation of Endeavour’s elite brokerage company and the support of Hugo. Twentieth Century Fox’s plans for the next five or even ten years will have a vital and positive impact.

This is called vision.

Although the 20th Century Fox did not announce the Hugo dividend ratio, many media have made predictions, and there are countless rumors in the circle.

In fact, Hugo’s "Independence Day" box office dividend is 2% of the world's – provided that North America’s box office exceeds 200 million. It now appears that the 20th Century Fox’s requirement for "Independence Day" is not only easily achieved, but also far Far beyond the bottom line. In other words, Hugo is eligible to take 2% of the dividends in the global box office of 1.25 billion US dollars, which is 25 million US dollars.

In the end, Hugo in the "Independence Day" work, the basic salary plus dividends, a total of 45 million US dollars-even after deducting the high tax on the rich, it still easily broke the Hugo once "Life and Death" and "Pulp Fiction" created a salary of 30 million yuan, this is the attitude of the first person in Hollywood.

It's unique.

Forty-five million dollars in pay, even in the distant future, in 2014 is still a shocking figure, Hollywood can get such pay for an artist who can count it with one hand. But this is 1996, the ancient and long-lasting 1996, Hugo has reached such a level.

Simply put, an "Independence Day" is enough for Hugo to buy a manor in Beverly Hills. Such a momentum is top notch in any work in any country in any era.

Hugo's final salary has been far beyond the shocking level, and even the height that people can't imagine. Not to mention ordinary people, even 20th Century Fox himself was frightened into a cold sweat, Kevin even ordered to be silent about Hugo's final pay, even in the circle not allowed to leak the news. At the moment in 1996, an actor earned 45 million U.S. dollars, which is even more exaggerated than the 1.2 billion global box office of "Independence Day". The aftermath caused is simply unimaginable.

But even so, the big guys of the major film companies are old foxes with eye-catching prices, more or less sniffing out the tricks and inside stories, but everyone wisely closed their mouths. The impact and turmoil brought by the 20 million club to Hollywood have just begun. They don't want a "forty-five million dollars" to make everything fall apart.

But it is undeniable that the 45 million dollars in remuneration is a direct manifestation of Hugo’s transcendent status in Hollywood today-for profit-oriented businessmen, they are willing to divide the interests that are the lifeblood of them. , Just to cooperate with Hugo, which shows that they attach great importance to Hugo. Such treatment, even if it is not Hollywood, can definitely be said to be the highest level in all areas of society.

Karl Marx (Karl. Marx) said in the book "Das Kapital", "Once there is a proper profit, capital becomes bold. If there is a 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; there is With 20% profit, it becomes active; with 50% profit, it takes risks; for 100% profit, it dares to trample on all the laws of the world; with 300% profit Profit, it dares to commit any crime, and even risk hanging its head."

Someone once calculated that "Independence Day" used a cost of 100 million U.S. dollars to sweep the box office of 1.2 billion U.S. dollars worldwide. Among them, the 20th century Fox's profit from the box office was close to 360 million. Around the US dollar—before tax, in other words, the profit margin is as high as 260%, which is enough to make 20th Century Fox “trample all the laws of the world”.

But this is just the beginning. The profits from video tape rentals and film peripherals following Independence Day are all attributable to 20th Century Fox. As a result of conservative estimates by Wall Street, this profit can be at least 30 million U.S. dollars. above.

Of course, the most important thing is that the movie "Independence Day" broke countless historical records. It not only created a new history in North America and the global box office, but also led a new trend in terms of topic focus, and it became a change in the history of the film industry. The decisive power of these factors, the added value of these factors to the development of Fox’s future industry in the twentieth century, as well as the brand value, are immeasurable.

In other words, the profit created by an "Independence Day" for Fox in the twentieth century is far more than 300%, and everyone knows clearly that as the male protagonist, the value contained in Hugo has already Exceeds the value of "300% profit". So, don’t say it’s an investment of US$100 million, don’t say it’s an investment of US$20 million, even an investment of US$200 million, even an investment of US$45 million, is enough to make any top film company take a risk. Enough for any Wall Street venture capital firm to bet on Hugo.

If you are simply looking for profit margins, "Independence Day" is naturally inferior to the small-cost investment of "Life and Death", "Pulp Fiction", "Schindler's List" and other works, but as a commercial blockbuster, "Independence Day" The influence of "Independence Day" is unimaginable. More importantly, compared to independent films, commercial films are genre films, and their successful models can be replicated. In other words, works like "Independence Day" can be streamlined. Produced, but "Pulp Fiction" is simply impossible.

Therefore, for the major Hollywood film production companies, the significance of "Independence Day" is even more important than the superposition of all Hugo's previous works. Of course, no one will forget that it is impossible for Hugo to climb to such a position and give such a powerful appeal to "Independence Day" without the previous foundation.

But no matter what Independence Day", Hugo earned a super high salary of 45 million U.S. dollars, once again breaking his own salary record, not only creating a 20 million club, but also Hollywood The energy of the star-making project has been exerted to the extreme. It is not uncommon for all major Hollywood media, major film production companies, and major top practitioners to chase Hugo frantically in the past month or so.

A profit of 300% is enough for people to pursue profit without compromise. Even if they need to pay a greater price, they will not hesitate.

Once again, Hugo brought surprises again, and brought "Independence Day" with a sweeping attitude, once again breaking people's fixed concepts, and creating a unique summer in the history of North American film, even if the summer file is 20 years later. It's so noisy. Even if the North American box office history list is completely different after ten years, no one can forget that in the summer of 1996, an "Independence Day" was born, which completely changed everyone's life and brought an audiovisual experience. The feast brought an industrial revolution. Life!

Carrying the 1.2 billion box office power of "Independence Day", Hugo truly reached the top of Hollywood and reached a peak that even he himself could not surpass: At this time, people are more curious about what Hugo will do next? What will Hugo's next work be? Was 1996 the peak of Hugo's career? Hugo Lancaster, what kind of posture will this name appear in movie history?
