Chapter 616 616 A brilliant year

When 1993 ended, although Glory achieved remarkable results to death, people generally paid more attention to Hugo's achievements in the film field. But ten years later, thirty years later, and even a more distant future, people realized that Hugo's greatest glory in 1993 came from the album "Almost Fame" of Glory.

The album "Almost Fame" not only set off a wave of rock reform, but also became the starting point of the new rock wave. After that, a decade-long road to rock revival was opened. New metal rock allowed rock, which has been marginalized by people, to truly enter the mainstream market, and became the most important part of the entire music history and culture. It made people trance to see the rise of hippie culture again. Although Woodstock-style utopia never appeared again, Woodstock-style carnival gradually flowed into every corner of people's lives with the popularization and diversity of rock.

Of course, "almost famous" is just a turning point, which is a process of quantitative change to qualitative change. All the changes that have been accumulated over the past twenty years have blown up in 1993, and have completed the transformation under the stimulation of the heavy hammer of "almost famous".

It can be said that Nirvana reawakened the rock craze in 1991, while Glory To Death completely ignited the craze in 1993.

Only when people stand at the high point of the long river of history can they wake up that true history is always completed without realizing it, and only after time settles down will they discover the greatness of that moment.

However, standing on the last day of 1993, it is difficult for people to find out how important it is to "almost famous" in just five weeks of release, because all the discussions and all disputes are constantly brewing and erupting, and there is still a long gap from the "historical conclusion". Therefore, people have set their sights on the brilliant films achieved by Hugo, which is also an important reason why Lang Meyer and Rick Rosen are willing to come to the first floor to receive Hugo.

Hugo released two works in 1993, namely "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle" and "Schindler's List".

"Seattle Sleeping Night" created a miracle of low-cost movies in the summer season and made Hugo's $15 million pay; "Schindler's List" made Steven Spielberg, but also made Hugo. Whether it was the box office of the movie, the reputation of the work, or the focus of public opinion, this movie can definitely be called the biggest winner of the year.

On the North American year-end box office rankings, "Jurassic Park" took the lead and undoubtedly easily dominated the North American film market; the comedy work "Slim Dad" starring Robin Williams became the best example of making a big fortune with a small investment. The investment of 25 million US dollars finally won the box office data of 219 million US dollars, winning the year-end runner-up, once again proving Robin's status as a comedian.

The third-placed work fell below everyone's glasses. "Schindler's List" became the third work this year with a box office of over $200 million. The data of $205 million is really impressive. It not only set a new box office record for black and white movies, but also an investment of only $21 million also makes people jealous of the return ratio. This is also the most successful work in Steven's career as a director.

If there are still traces to "Schindler's list" occupying the third place position, after all, Steven's appeal cannot be ignored. Then "Seattle's sleepless night" can actually rely on $189 million in data to occupy the position of the Palace Army on the year-end ranking list, which is really shocking.

As a chick movie, the miracle created by "Seattle Night Without Sleeping" is not only box office or reputation, but also a hot cultural phenomenon. The emergence of radio blind dates and dating shows has formed a trend, and it has also pushed the wave of pen pals to a brand new peak.

In addition, Meg Ryan returned to the peak of American sweethearts, and Hugo relied on this work to become the most popular golden bachelor in the United States. Countless women dreamed of becoming Hugo's pillow, with gentle smiles, gentlemanly actions, humorous words, sexy figure, handsome appearance, and most importantly the charm of the sun. All of this made Hugo the best spokesperson for the lover in his dream overnight.

In a sense, the influence of "Seattle's Sleeping Night" is not even inferior to the summer winner "Jurassic Park", and Hugo, who achieved a huge breakthrough with this chick movie, is definitely the biggest winner. Hugo's advantage was further maximized in the "Schindler's List" released at the end of the year. Although Amon Goss is a demon, Hugo's gloomy and evil charm once again attracted countless women, which triggered rumors about beautifying the Nazis. The influence is indeed shocking.

As an actor, Hugo has gone further this year after launching two outstanding works, "Yihai Heroes" and "Smelling the Flavor and Knowing Women" in 1992. "Schindler's List" and "Seattle Sleeping Night" occupies third and fourth positions in the year-end box office rankings of North America, and the North American box office of both works hovered around 200 million yuan. Such impressive results also made Hugo a top male actor comparable to Tom Cruise in one fell swoop.

What is even more commendable is that Hugo has solid acting skills and excellent performance control. The soul he injects into the role is jaw-dropping. Although Tom also won the Oscar for Best Actor by "Born July 4", and Hugo's achievements in this area are still "zero", but people generally believe that Hugo's potential in acting is far from being discovered. Hugo is fully capable of surpassing Malone and Brando to become the most handsome candidate for the candidate for the actor in history.

Although Hugo is filming a "pulp novel" recently, and the salary of only $250,000 is powerless to complain, many film production companies are still unwilling to give up their pursuit of this popular actor. The 15 million dollar pay check is always waving at Hugo. As long as Hugo nods, the salary and dividends are not a problem.

This shows how glorious Hugo's 1993 was.

Behind "Seattle Night Not Sleeping", "Faith Heaven" and "Sugar-coated Trap" ranked fifth and sixth respectively, which was really interesting. Both works abandoned Hugo and even made many unpleasant rumors, which directly led to Hugo choosing "Seattle Night Not Sleeping" during the predicament. But unexpectedly, "Seattle Night Not Sleeping" who was considered a helpless choice and destroyed his future, fought a beautiful turnaround battle, and instead put both "Faith Heaven Not Sleeping" and "Sugar-coated Trap" behind him.

Although the box office data of "The Desperate World" and "The Sugar-Coated Trap" are also very good, the former is 183 million US dollars and the latter is 158 million US dollars. At the same time, the latter has once again proved Tom Cruise's box office appeal. However, compared to Hugo's two works, this is a huge difference.

Robert Redford, Woody Harrison and Demi Moore's "Indecent.proposal" starring Clint Eastwood, and "Flying Sniper" jointly by Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington, the North American box office has also exceeded the 100 million threshold, ranking seventh, eighth and ninth in the year-end rankings.

"Cliffhanger" starring Sylvester Stallone is slightly inferior, occupying the tenth place on the list with $84 million.

In the global year-end box office rankings, the only top ten works in "Fireline Sniper" was replaced by "Philadelphia Story", and the positions of the other nine works also have some subtle changes.

"Jurassic Park" continues to be the best in the box office of $983 million, while "Schindler's List" ranks second with $535 million, and "Grassy Dad" ranks third with $440 million.

"The Desperate World" relies on its outstanding performance in the overseas market to become the world's world leader at the end of the year, while "Seattle's No Sleeping Night" lags behind the 40 million US dollars in data and reaches fifth place.

The remaining five seats are "icing trap", "peach, color, transaction", "violent ridge", "Philadelphia Story", and "Gots Assassination Order".

Even in global box office performance, "Schindler's List" and "Seattle's Sleeping Night" are still particularly outstanding, and joining forces with "Slim Daddy" to become the best example of low-cost and high-reward this year. Hugo has two seats alone, occupying two seats in the top five global year-end box office list. Such strong box office appeal has also made Hugo a popular bun for major film companies.

Box office performance is always one of the most important elements of the production company. Hugo not only has excellent box office results, but also has four consecutive works since "Smelling the fragrance and knowing women". The investment cost of Hugo's works is not high. In other words, it means low cost for high profits. What is even more commendable is that the highest paid part of Hugo's four works is just the three million US dollars of "Yihai Xiongfeng". This is the profound meaning of the word "cost-performance ratio".

Therefore, it is no surprise that the production company waving the check in its hand and expressing its desire for Hugo at the top of its lungs.

Under such a background, there is no big doubt that Lang Mayer and Rick Rosen will appear specifically to welcome Hugo.

Hugo looked at Lang's bright smile, and then at Rick's usual calm and simple smile. Although neither of the two people in front of him revealed too many other emotions, they would stand on the first floor to welcome him. This action alone can see how serious the struggle for power and profits is within the company.
