Under the background of the blockbuster era, the five comedy movies ranked among the top ten in the North American year-end box office charts. This is undoubtedly a very peculiar sight. Among them, the "Trumen's World" led by Hugo actually picked out "Saving Private Ryan". , "Peerless Tribulation" won the year-end championship, even if people have long been accustomed to Hugo's strength, they can't help but marvel again and again.
Comedy movies and horror movies are the representatives of low-cost genres. Although the film potential of comedy movies far exceeds that of horror movies, the frontal confrontation between comedy movies and commercial blockbusters has the last laugh. This is the same as 1996 and 1997. The pattern presents a completely different scene, becoming one of the most notable features of the North American film market that changed in 1998.
However, the rumors of the "awarding season" at the end of the year spread like wildfire, making the industry a little bit aware of the huge changes in the market, which is completely different from the trend of the year-end box office rankings, which also means that people are bound to change the market. Continue to pay attention and look forward to being able to grasp the context of the market first and stand on top of Hollywood.
If it is said that "Trumen's World" dominates the North American market, it is not surprising, after all, this is Hugo Lancaster-Hugo Lancaster who has created countless miracles; then, "Trumen's World" To dominate the global market again, this is a real miracle, even if it is such a cruelly realistic black fairy tale, even if it is such a realistic comedy that satirizes the perfect life of the American middle class, even if it is such a joking entertainment to death Hollywood's awakening fable, there is still unprecedented enthusiasm in the world!
In fact, in the overseas box office, "Trumen's World" won US$296 million. Although this performance is not bad, it is only on the same level as "Saving Private Ryan". Ranked runner-up in 1998. The winner of the overseas box office is "Peerless Heaven." This vigorous commercial blockbuster has swept over 352 million US dollars in overseas markets, becoming the only overseas box office work that exceeded 300 million this year.
From this point of view, in fact, the enthusiasm of overseas markets for "Trumen's World" has been slightly weakened, not only inferior to North America, but also inferior to commercial blockbusters such as "Peerless Tribulation". Even compared to the main theme movie "Saving Private Ryan", it doesn't have much advantage.
Nevertheless, "Trumen's World" still relied on the strength of local performance and swept US$624 million worldwide. It was the only work with a global box office of over 600 million in 1998. Top annual global box office champion.
This is also the second time Hugo has won the North American box office champion and the global box office champion since "Independence Day"!
No matter how many words of praise are used to describe Hugo's global appeal, it will still make people feel that the vocabulary is poor and pale. For many people, Hugo is Hollywood, and Hollywood is Hugo. Just like ten years ago, people always equated Steven Spielberg with Hollywood. It was a sign and a symbol. Every corner of the world has symbolic meaning.
Such outstanding results have also made "Trumen's World" once again rushed to the forefront. Professionals believe that this work is worthy of "the perfect combination of commercial film and art film", even better than last year's "L.A. Confidential "One step closer, he mocked the cruel reality of today's entertainment industry with black humor. The overall quality is not inferior to that of "Saving Private Ryan", and in terms of details, it has the level of classic masterpieces. Therefore, this work is fully qualified to compete for important awards such as best film and best director.
Of course, you can't miss the most important award for best actor.
During Hugo’s career, the 1993 "Schindler's List" won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and the 1995 "Death Row" made him the only film history to win the actor Xiaojin before the age of 30. Human actor, "Perfect Perfection" in 1997 made him the second artist to win both acting and screenwriting awards after Emma Thompson.
There is no doubt that Hugo has surpassed Emma, and has become the most recognized actor in the past ten years alongside Tom Hanks, and has even been promoted to Jack Nicholson and Meryl S. Tripp's height. However, Hugo has created a shocking record, the third prize in six years, one of the few in the entire history.
So, now the question is, "Death Row" won the actor only three years ago. Last year, "Perfect" won the best original screenplay award. This year, he won the best actor award again? Is this too crazy? Is this too unreasonable? Can't all the statuettes be awarded to Hugo, right? This is Hollywood. In addition to Hugo, there are tens of thousands of actors. Does Hugo really "will be the top performer"? Outside of Hugo, are there no other outstanding actors worthy of the Oscars?
In 1995, Hugo faced a crisis of voting. The outstanding performance of the three works "Before Sunrise", "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Row" made it difficult for people to choose, but the reverse can also be considered-three works The outstanding performance of Hugo is enough to prove Hugo's outstanding performance, which makes his victory more logical; but now in 1998, Hugo is facing "to join", he has stood at the pinnacle of Hollywood, he is only thirty-one years old. In the face of a great future, people are either jealous, or ridiculed, or disdainful, or relaxed, or ignorant. People can choose other actors who perform equally well. They don’t have to pursue the honourable Hugo again to "do nothing more." ] The wish of the magician.
Therefore, "Trumen's World" is considered to be one of Hugo's most outstanding works so far. Whether it is the performance angle or the quality of the film, even if Hugo won the Oscar for Best Actor for this work, it is absolutely It is enough to convince the public. But now, Hugo is facing the dilemma of not even being nominated-not because he is not good enough, it is because he is too good, one more trophy is not much, one is missing a lot, and the others are eager to get a small gold. Human actors are still in long lines.
Just like People Weekly’s selection of the sexiest men this year, Hugo has once again become the most popular candidate. This is the fourth time such a situation has been encountered in the past six years. In the past five years, Hugo After winning two titles in a row, Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington and George Clooney each took one. This year, Hugo once again became a candidate without any suspense.
However, choosing Hugo again makes this selection meaningless. Naturally, People Weekly cannot award this title to Hugo every year. In the end, People Weekly chose Leonardo DiCaprio, who swept the world. This choice made people unable to refute.
As a result, the list of nominations for this year's Oscars has not yet been announced, and it has long been the focus of attention: how long will Hugo's momentum last? Or will it end in the list of unsuccessful nominations?
After "Trumen's World" won the global box office champion, "Peerless Tribulation" relied on its outstanding performance in the overseas box office and ranked second; "Saving Private Ryan" also performed well, sweeping US$480 million worldwide. , Occupying the third place at the end of the year.
The top three in the year-end list are consistent with the North American market, but the second and third places have changed positions.
After that, "Godzilla", "I'm Crazy for Mary", "Bug Agents", "Clash of Heaven and Earth", "Mulan", "Weird Doctor Dolittle", and "Deadly Weapon 4" respectively occupied the front. Ten remaining seats.
Among them, "Mulan" and "Lethal Weapon 4" replaced "Tea Boy" and "Rush Hour", ranking among the top ten globally. "Mulan" relies on the excellent reputation of Disney cartoons. The joyous atmosphere of the family has attracted a large number of audiences into the theater, and the rise in the ranking of "Deadly Weapon 4" is worthy of recollection.
Looking at the entire list, "Godzilla" was only tenth in North America, but rose to fourth in the world; "Clash of Heaven" went from ninth in North America to seventh, plus outstanding performance In the global box office rankings, commercial blockbusters occupy four seats, three of which are disaster films. This is not only “Independence Day”. ", the "Titanic" continued disaster film event, but also the most direct manifestation of the arrival of the current era of blockbusters.
In the global list, there are three seats in comedy movies, three seats in disaster movies, and two seats in animated movies. Finally, action movies and war movies occupy a seat respectively It can be seen that, on the whole Works with magnificent scenes, powerful vigor, and shocking visual effects dominate. Even though "Trumen's World" won the global box office championship, the dominance of commercial blockbusters in the world is still unshakable.
This is in harmony with the current overall trend in Hollywood.
In this way, the arrival of the "awarding season" in the North American market has been explained: everyone knows that the Oscar is Hollywood's most influential ultimate weapon in the world. Impacting the Oscars means not only recognition in the industry, but not only the prosperity of the video tape rental market, not only the development of peripheral markets, but also the development of a global strategy. An "Oscar-nominated work" title is enough to attract People stared.
Compared with the excitement of the movie market, the music market in 1998 is absolutely not inferior. The entire music market is the same as the movie market, the overall average level is rising, and there is once again a dominant performance album in the music market. After the lack of glory to death, the prosperity of the music market has entered a new stage, as if the last energy before the collapse was exploding, pushing the bubble to its peak. At this point, the entire entertainment industry has a similar context, which also makes people feel the tranquility before the storm. It seems that the entire market is brewing the next round of storms, but no one knows when this storm will come. Is it coming, is it 1999 or 2000?
