Chapter 1313 1313 Superstar status

The "Seven Deadly Sins" swept the box office of $195 million in North America and earned $485 million worldwide. Such performance is not enough to express people's inner shock and excitement, even if it is "phenomenon" to describe it, it is almost an achievement that makes everyone happy. New Line Film Company is so happy that it can't find its direction, and other film companies have also begun to make their own plans because of the great victory of the thriller and suspense theme.

The investment of 30 million US dollars eventually earned $485 million, with more than 16 times the box office revenue. Just one movie made the new film company make a lot of money, and almost any film company was jealous!

For the three actors, it is an unprecedented glory. This is obviously the peak of Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt's career. For the former, he doesn't care about box office, but for the latter, it really makes his career high!

In 1986, a "Top Gun" swept the box office of $176 million in the North American market, making Tom Cruise the idol of thousands of Americans; in 1992, a "Shi Hai Sheng" ignited the box office of $170 million in North America, making Hugo Lancaster a unique top star in Hollywood.

Now, in 1995, a "Seven Deadly Sins" robbed $195 million of box office data, instantly making Brad Pitt among the top stars, officially standing side by side with Tom, Hugo and others, and gaining the qualification to challenge.

The "Seven Deadly Sins" is not only the best work in the box office of Brad's actor in his career, but also vividly demonstrates his personal charm.

As many media have commented, Brad is at a disadvantage in his acting skills, but he is undoubtedly an excellent vase. The sexy image accumulated by "night visits to vampires" and "love-burning years" reached its peak in the "Seven Deadly Sins", and in an instant, Brad became a lover of all the United States that is comparable to Tom and Hugo.

It can be said that the "Seven Deadly Sins" is Brad's iconic work that officially ranked among the top.

Before this, whether it was the super popularity of "night visits to vampires" or the high attention of "Love Years", although Brad is not very famous, in the eyes of the media, he and Tom and Hugo are still very different. It is not about strength or popularity, but about the cumulative volume of works that has not reached the corresponding level. Now, the "Seven Deadly Sins" are the stepping stone!

Brad is the well-deserved first male lead in the "Seven Deadly Sins", so naturally he relied on this work to win the box office of nearly $200 million.

However, only Brad himself knows the taste of these so-called praises.

Although the "Seven Deadly Sins" starred Brad, when the movie's North American box office finally stopped at $195 million, almost everyone was regretting and sighing that this work did not become Hugo's third work in history with a box office of over 200 million. If Hugo really did this, his box office appeal would be enough to surpass Harrison Ford to become the unquestionable number one person in the United States, although there are not many doubts now.

But unfortunately, the distance is so close but so far.

But no one regrets that Brad missed his first 200 million box office.

All this is like "Schindler's List". Although Hugo is just a supporting role, and this time the "Seven Deadly Sins" scenes are even less pitiful, and it is even only one-tenth of the movie's weight, Hugo relies on his own charm and easily became the focus of attention.

Moreover, because of the subject matter, the focus of people's attention was dispersed by the heavy history of the Jews and Steven Spielberg, but the "Seven Deadly Sins" did not, and almost all the attention was focused on Hugo, and the social issues that triggered were also developed with Hugo as the origin. There is no doubt that Hugo is the focus of the focus.

People will be amazed, regretful, and regretful for Hugo, not only because Hugo has created such a miracle, but Brad is "already very outstanding, don't think about more"; but because Hugo's performance has almost become the core of the entire movie, truly pushing the movie to a new height, attracting audiences to the cinema, and triggering the movie's North American box office was Hugo, not Brad.

The "Seven Deadly Sins" became Brad's highest-grossing work so far, and made him truly reach the level of Tom and Hugo, on an equal footing with them. He should be happy, he should celebrate, and he should be ecstatic. But this work relies on Hugo to achieve such a result. What this work really accomplished is Hugo's glory. This work allows everyone to see the gap between him and Hugo. This work even allows people to simply and roughly divide him into "vas" and Hugo is the absolute strength and quality...

Faced with such a result, it was difficult for Brad to be happy, and the bitterness on his tongue almost made him crazy.

What’s even more depressing is that Martin Baum cannot understand Brad’s mood. For agents, success is the most important thing, and methods and ways are second. Even with Hugo’s east wind, it doesn’t matter. What’s important is that Brad has officially entered the ranks of 10 million yuan in pay!

Gwyneth Paltrow couldn't understand Brad's mood. For her, her connections, background, and funds were stepping stones to success. She could completely think that Brad succeeded on Hugo's shoulders. She was not only difficult to understand Brad's depression and bitterness, but also regretted that she was not strong enough.

"Should I be happy?" Brad asked himself, but couldn't find the answer. For the first time, he truly realized the gap between him and Hugo, not his connections, not his background, not his funds, but his hard power. This was the second time since Tracy Jacobs's disastrous defeat, Brad fell into deep thoughts, for himself, for Hugo, and for Hollywood...

The "Seven Deadly Sins" made Brad's top position and also made Hugo's superstar status.

This is not only the sixth work of Hugo with a box office of over 100 million since he won the Golden Raspberry Award, but also surpassed "Pulp Novels" and "Sleeping in Seattle", becoming two works second only to "Schindler's List" and "Life and Death Speed" with a box office of over 200 million, and becoming Hugo's third highest-grossing personal box office.

This not only shattered the New York Post’s view on the decline of Hugo’s career, but also directly proved Hugo’s unique position in the entire North American movie box office market.

Before this, whether it was Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger, whether it was Tom Cruise or Jim Carrey, they had many miracles at the box office in North America, but they all had a distinct characteristic: the works they starred in all have distinct commercial film colors, such as the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, and the "Terminator" series.

But Hugo's emergence and Tom Hanks' strong rise last year showed another feature: they can achieve super high box office while also proving the role of actors in promoting films at the core, thoughtful, and performance.

The same is true for "Forrest Gump" and "Apollo 13" starring Tom Hanks, as is the case for "Schindler's List" starring Hugo and "Pulp Novel". This time the "Seven Deadly Sins" are typical examples.

This also gave the North American film market a whole new look: commercial films can also have depth, and special theme films can also explode at box office.

This also makes Hugo occupy a unique position in the North American film market. The only "Big Tom" Tom Hanks, who can be compared with Hugo, not only won the best actor but also won the love of all ages in the United States. However, Tom's outstanding works are still not many and has not met the standards of qualitative change.

However, Hugo has completely completed its transformation, from "The Sea of ​​Righteousness", "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle", to "Schindler's List", "Speed ​​of Life and Death", to "Pulp Novels" and "Seven Deadly Sins", the accumulation of powerful and rich works has made Hugo the only top superstar in the North American film industry today. Box office and awards, reputation and popularity, acting skills and strength... all have top strength, and comprehensively lead the earth-shaking changes and progress of the entire Hollywood.

More importantly, the "Seven Deadly Sins" swept the box office of 290 million US dollars overseas, which made people realize the first time that Hugo's strong appeal worldwide. Although several previous works have achieved incredible box office records overseas, people seem to have forgotten this point. It was not until the "Seven Deadly Sins" performed overseas against the sky that they suddenly realized:

Now Hugo is not only a unique top star in North America, but has become synonymous with Hollywood in overseas markets. Hugo is equivalent to Hollywood, which means that Hugo has become the spokesperson of North America to some extent. The cooperation between major film companies and Hugo will have more comprehensive and in-depth development.

Of course, for major film companies, Hugo received a $10 million in salary when he was filming the "Seven Deadly Sins", which resulted in a $485 million global salary. This is also worthy of reference. Hugo is worthy of being the number one male actor in Hollywood. In the shocking victory of the "Seven Deadly Sins", Hugo could receive a 5% dividend from the box office in North America, which means that Hugo could receive a $9.75 million dividend before tax. In other words, Hugo received a $20 million reward for filming the "Seven Deadly Sins"!

Although compared to "pulp novels", the "speed of life and death" of 30 million yuan, and the "seven deadly sins" of 20 million yuan seems to be not enough to watch, no one will forget that Hugo is just a supporting role among the supporting roles in "seven deadly sins".

With a supporting role with a pay of 20 million US dollars, Hugo is undoubtedly the only one in the long history of the movie, which further becomes the best proof of Hugo's ranking as the top superstar!
