Chapter 1899 1899 The first breakthrough of 200 million

The "Seven Deadly Sins" once had the opportunity to create a new history, and it was only within reach of the 200 million threshold, but unfortunately it failed in the last moment. Of course, the box office data of $195 million is still the well-deserved first in film history, and it was created in the cold autumn period, which further showed the driving force of the "Seven Deadly Sins" on the entire North American film market.

This is also the reason why $200 million is so difficult and unattainable for thriller and suspense films.

Now, "Los Angeles Secret" has created a new history and rewrites the history of North America's box office. It not only became the first thriller and suspense film in film history to exceed $200 million in box office, but also became the first work in film history to create $200 million in the autumn season to exceed the heights that "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Pulp Novels" have not been able to reach. This is earth-shaking for the entire film market. In terms of subject matter and schedule, people's fixed concepts have been completely refreshed.

Such an experience is no stranger to Hugo.

Strictly speaking, "Los Angeles City Secret" is not a thriller movie, but more of a suspense drama movie, because the thriller plots in the movie almost do not exist, and more of the content is developed in a suspense mode of solving cases. It can be regarded as a model of a drama movie. However, in the genre division of the exhibition relationship, it is still divided into the category of a thriller and suspense movie, and belongs to the same type of work as the "Seven Deadly Sins". So history was born like this!

Two years ago, the emergence of the "Seven Deadly Sins" broke the pattern of the North American box office market; two years later, "Los Angeles Secret" once again pushed hard, completely reshuffling the North American box office market structure. Drama movies with thriller and suspense themes received unprecedented attention, and the planning of the autumn period also officially entered the conference tables of major film production companies. It can be imagined that in the next history of film development, there will be a different style.

This is not the first time Hugo has appeared above the historical turning point. "Pulp novels" have opened the road to the rise of independent films. "Independence Day" has tapped new potential in the box office market. "Seven Deadly Sins" have changed the sluggishness of the autumn period. Now "Los Angeles Secret" has emerged, further promoting the progress of the film industry.

Behind this movie, Hugo's figure occupies an increasingly heavier proportion. He is creating a new history as an actor, his history. This is indeed an era that belongs to Hugo.

In fact, "Los Angeles Secret" exceeded 200 million US dollars in box office, which is also a new record for Hugo, because this is his fourth work with a box office of 200 million yuan, following "Schindler's List", "Speed ​​of Life and Death" and "Independence Day", which makes him tied Harrison Ford and became the second actor in film history to have four 200 million works.

Harrison Ford relied on two series of movies, "Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which are also the two greatest sets of Harrison's career so far. Six series of works contributed four US$200 million in box office, and two were nearly US$200 million in box office, which also made Harrison the most appealing decent hero in the American market.

If the box office is brilliant alone, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and Arnold Schwarzenegger are far from being able to compare with Harrison, and are not even qualified to compare. Only Tom Hanks, who relies on the box office of two amazing works "Back to the Future" and "Forrest Gump" both exceeded 200 million US dollars, can barely be qualified.

Now, an actor who is enough to match Harrison has finally appeared in the North American market: Hugo Lancaster. It can even be said that Hugo has surpassed Harrison now because he is not relying on loyal audiences of the series of movies, because his $200 million work has appeared in a historical posture, because an "Independence Day" has completely changed North American film history.

Hugo has irreplaceable works for the history of North American films in the 1990s. In terms of box office alone, he has contributed eight works with a box office of over 100 million yuan, and the box office of these eight works is all over 170 million yuan. Even if it is used to describe it, it cannot accurately express Hugo's strong box office appeal.

Among the eleven works that Hugo took on after the Golden Raspberry Awards, only three of them failed to exceed 100 million yuan. They were "Smelling the Scent of the Scent" who witnessed Al Pacino's top spot, "Before Sunrise" witnessed the brilliant appearance of screenwriter Hugo, and "Death-infernal Affairs Walk" witnessed Hugo's first Oscar winner, Little Golden Man.

It can be said that the great success of "Los Angeles Secret" is indeed a brilliant stroke in Hugo's honor book. More importantly, this is the first time that Hugo has joined the production of the entire movie as a producer. This also proves that Hugo's "Golden Ding Hand" truly exists, not only as an actor, but also as a screenwriter, but also as a producer.

Hugo's keen eyes were once again recognized by people. In an instant, "perfect" became popular in the midst of shooting, and many people began to regret it: Why are they not as bold as Sony Columbia Pictures?

Even though people are used to Hugo's record-breaking steps, the "Los Angeles City Secret" still attracts a lot of surprise.

Amid this amazement, the pace of "Los Angeles Secret" has not slowed down at all. After the cumulative box office exceeded 200 million, the popularity of movies in theaters has not diminished at all. On the contrary, it has attracted much attention because of "the first thriller and suspense film in film history that exceeded 200 million box office", attracting many viewers who were not interested in movies to enter theaters, which has also brought the box office of the movie to a recovery. Incredible!

Then, the end of the year, major award ceremony extended olive branches to "Los Angeles City Secret". Many nominations made people truly realize that this is indeed a movie that is comparable to "Godfather", and it is indeed a movie that is enough to make a difference in the Oscars. In a voice of praise and pursuit, "Los Angeles City Secret" has become the number one hottest Oscar for the best film, and has also won a lot of support. Many people think that this is definitely a work that "a perfect combination of commercial films and artistic films", and even if it wins the best film, it deserves its reputation.
