No one could have predicted that Gravity would win the 2013 North American year-end box office charts.

Similarly, no one could have predicted that the year-end box office of "Drunken Country Ballads" would surpass "Thor 2".

The praise focused on Lan Li has long been off the charts, and there is no need to say more, but it is just more and more disappointing at the box office of "Star Trek" and "Thor 2", and it is interesting that both of these works happen to have Chris Hemsworth starring, which is a very, very amazing thing, isn't it?

But the positive news is more cheerful than the negative: "World War Z" and "Crazy Hominids" are such works.

The former is a work starring Brad Pitt, and before its release, there was a steady stream of negative press about the work, and the production team never seemed to be able to agree on it, from internal disagreements to editing conflicts.

The disagreement between director Mark Forster and producer Brad Pitt detonated the powder keg, and finally Paramount sided with Brad, causing Mark to go berserk, and a lot of post-production problems, forcing Paramount to change the release schedule three times in a row;

Everything casts a shadow over the film's prospects.

Who knows, after the release of the movie, it completed a counterattack, although it never topped the weekend box office charts, but the cumulative box office exceeded 200 million US dollars, bringing a small surprise. Although compared to the film's $190 million cost, the global box office of $540 million is only a small profit for Paramount, but because of Brad's relationship, the sequel is still on the agenda.

The latter is produced by DreamWorks Animation, which has been turbulent in recent years.

In fact, DreamWorks' works still maintain good quality, and works such as "Kung Fu Panda" and "How to Train Your Dragon" have won good acclaim, but the box office performance has always been a little short of expectations, not to mention comparable to peak works like "Shrek", even compared with rising stars like Illumination Entertainment, they have gradually been left behind.

This time, the "Crazy Primitives" can be described as applauded and applauded, and successfully started the turnaround battle of DreamWorks, which is really gratifying. Compared to Disney and Illumination Entertainment, DreamWorks' whimsy is still their killer weapon, finding a beautiful balance between unconventional absurdity and wisdom, which is also their capital in the North American market.

Overall, the 2013 year-end North American box office charts can be said to be a combination of surprises and regrets, and Lan Li has undoubtedly become the biggest winner of the year.

This is also the first time in Lan Li's actor career that he has topped the North American year-end box office champion! Moreover, "Gravity" is still a work dominated by Lan Li, and the significance is even more extraordinary.

The same situation has carried over to the top of the global year-end box office charts.

"Gravity", "Frozen" and "Iron Man 3" all exceeded the billion threshold at the global box office, purely in terms of numbers, lower than last year's four 2012 "Avengers", "007: Skyfall", "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", and "The Hobbit" all achieved such feats, but the overall quality of the three works this year is also better.

Among them, "Gravity" surpassed last year's "Avengers" with an astonishing figure of 1.643 billion, ranking third on the box office list in film history.

"Frozen" relied on strong word-of-mouth recoil to complete a counterattack in overseas markets, fourth in North America and second in the world, with a result of 1.276 billion but easily surpassed the other three works last year, "Skyfall", "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Hobbit", whose global box office is about to reach more than one billion.

"Iron Man 3" also continued the strong appeal of the Marvel family, with an overseas box office of 1.21 billion, creating the highest in the series and second only to the "Avengers" Marvel Universe works, but in the end, the total box office unfortunately lost to "Gravity" and "Frozen", coupled with the "Hunger Games 2" that swept North America and was weak around the world, which also gave major film companies a revelation

Although adaptations can easily reap the box office, the quality of the work is still the core criterion that determines the direction of the market, which is undoubtedly a crucial revelation for those companies other than Warner Bros. and Disney that do not have adaptation rights, especially small companies outside the big six studios.

In the end, "Gravity", "Frozen" and "Iron Man 3" ranked among the top three in the global year-end box office charts, among which "Gravity" successfully won the double list in the extremely fierce competition, and was undoubtedly the biggest winner in 2013.

In addition to these three billion-dollar box office monsters, "Despicable Me 2", "The Hobbit 2", "The Hunger Games 2", "Fast & Thrill/Passion 6", "Monsters University", "Superman: Man of Steel", and "Thor 2" respectively occupy the remaining seven positions in the top ten, making up the global year-end box office list this year.

Compared with the North American box office, "Thor 2" replaced "The Wizard of Wonderland", which is the only change, and the other works are just a slight change in the ranking.

The strength of comic book adaptations, the recovery of animated films "Crazy Primitives" ranked eleventh in the global list, the decline of sequel films, and the rise of dark horse works, which has become the biggest portrayal of the entire film market in 2013, and the revelations and changes derived from it are quietly fermenting.

By the way, the "Drunken Country Ballad", which has dropped significantly at the overseas box office, lacks combat effectiveness in the global box office rankings, while the more market-friendly "The Wolf of Wall Street" ranks seventeenth in the world, and the gorgeous and moving "The Great Gatsby" ranks twenty in the world, which once again proves Leonardo DiCaprio's global appeal.

In the end, "Drunken Country Ballads" ranked 30th on the year-end list with a global box office score of 270 million.

Still, compared to Leonardo's box office results, people are more amazed by the market potential of Lan Li, after all, "Drunken Country Ballad" is a work that does not have any box office power in every way, and now it can reach the top 30 in the global year-end list, which is the real toughness.

From the North American box office to the global box office, Lan Li has taken the lead in becoming the focus of attention, which has also made the background of the rumors of "hundreds of millions of net worth".

After the beginning of 2014, what is the hottest and most sensational news in the entire industry?

It's not awards season, it's a blue ceremony. To be more precise, it should be the salary of Lan Li.

"Gravity" and "Drunken Country Folk" have become the strongest hits in the second half of the year, the former detonated the autumn file, and the latter broke the shackles of the art box office.

Undoubtedly, this also focused all attention on Lan Li.

From EGOT to the Grand Slam of the three major European film festivals, Blue Rite's achievements in the field of art have reached unparalleled heights, even compared to the likes of Meryl Streep, Daniel Day Lewis, Sean Penn, and now, Blue Rite has made a breakthrough in the commercial field and has become the second Tom Hanks in the past two decades.

Tom Hanks' high status in North America goes without saying, since the commercial market for films was fully developed in the 80s, he was the only actor who was able to win full support between art and commerce, and after him, Leonardo DiCaprio was considered his successor, but unfortunately, until 2014, Leonardo still failed to break through the shackles of the statuette in terms of awards.

However, even Tom Hanks was never a member of the 20 million club!

Of course, it is definitely not because Tom is not qualified, but because Tom chooses the style of his works, even if he takes on commercial films, Tom mostly chooses celebrity biographies, such as "Forrest Gump", "Apollo 13" or "Desert Island Afterlife", or romantic comedies, such as "Sleepless in Seattle", "Electronic Love Letters" or "Happiness Terminal", with the rare exception of "The Da Vinci Code", which still failed to bring a breakthrough in terms of remuneration after all.

It can be understood that Tom's image has made him in some ways and limited him in others.

Until Lan Li appeared.

From awards to box office, Lan Li is taking over the North American market, and more importantly, Tom is still in front of the public as a perfect traditional American man, while Lan Li is still a charming golden bachelor, he has been on the top of the major voting lists for two consecutive years to be the champion of the "world's most/sexy/sexy man", which also makes Lan Li's commercial value rise, and the salary figure will naturally continue to rise.

Now, "Gravity" and "Drunken Country Ballads" have both detonated the market, so what about Lanli's salary figures?

When "Gravity" was filmed, Barry Meyer, who was the CEO at the time, personally went to London to negotiate the salary, and Lan Li did not raise the price, and Barry did not lower the price, and the two sides had a very pleasant conversation, which also continued the good cooperative relationship between the two parties and successfully allowed Warner Bros. to seize the opportunity.

The production cost of "Gravity" was only $100 million, so Lan Li chose the way of box office dividends and jointly took the production risk of the film:

Ten percent of the North American box office dividends.

This also means that Lan Li will earn 63.5 million US dollars with this movie Of course, this is before taxes, and New York, where Lan Li is located, is one of the highest tax states in the United States, and after deducting taxes, the figure is not the same, despite this, this is still a sensation throughout North America.

Six three and a half million dollars!

This is the source of the rumors of "billions of net worth", from "Edge of Tomorrow" to "Gravity", the box office of just two works easily pushed Lan Li's net worth over 100 million US dollars, and quietly, the actor who started with excellent acting skills and independent works of art is becoming the most profitable actor in North America.
