Standing at the end of the year, 2012 is undoubtedly a year for Lanli. For this, no one can deny it.

First on the album's North American year-end sales chart, "Don Quixote" ranked third, and then on the North American singles year-end sales chart, Lan Li once again became a member that could not be ignored.

This year, there are four singles that have sold more than six million in North America.

Gautier's "Somebody-That-I-Used-To-Kno" topped the year-end sales top, while Carly Leigh Gibson's "Call-Me-Maybe" narrowly narrowly finished second.

In third place is "Cleopatra", a single from Lan Li, which has set countless records, and one of the most interesting is that it is the highest-selling single that has never reached the top of the Billboard championship, and writes its own miracle in the style of folk songs.

Finally, Fun Band's "e-Are-Young" became another dark horse of the year, joining the ranks of 6 million sales, ranking fourth in the year.

Except for "Empty Electric Me", which is a pop genre, the other three songs are very bizarre in terms of genre, "The Most Familiar Stranger" and "In the Mood for Love" are both alternative rock, while "Cleopatra" is a ballad, which is gradually being eliminated by the market, but in 2012 it exploded with unimaginable energy, which also became an important revelation in the music market.

Compared to the downturn in the album market, the singles market is booming, especially after the strong rise of digital music sources, sales numbers have begun to climb, and in 2012, there were seven more singles that sold more than 4 million in 2012.

These include Rihanna's "e-Found-Love", LMFAO's "Sexy-And-I-Kno-It", and "Party-Rock-Anthem".

Also included are Some-Nights by Fun, Pumped-Up-Kicks by Foster, Starships by Nikki Minaj, and Another Light by Blue Rite.

A total of 11 singles have exceeded 4 million sales during the year, which is a remarkable achievement.

Among them, LMFAO's dance music, Fun Band's indie rock, and Lanli's folk songs each occupy two seats, which has also become an important theme in the music market this year.

It is worth mentioning that among the top 50 of the year-end sales chart of North American singles, Lan Li alone occupies five seats, namely "Cleopatra", "Another Light", "The Beast", "Firmly Believed" and "Your Bones", four of which are from the album "Don Quixote".

With such a performance, he easily laughed proudly, surpassed all other singers, and became the biggest winner of the singles chart.

In addition, "Say You Won't Give Up" and "Ophelia" also made it into the top 100, ranking 51st and 88th respectively.

The "Don Quixote" album is reminiscent of last year's "21", and the influence of both albums has penetrated all aspects of society in all aspects, and brought a series of continuous aftertastes, and compared to "21", "Don Quixote" as a folk song is obviously more important for the market.

Since then, unpopular genres such as folk, indie rock, and jazz have received more attention, and the North American music market has gradually regained new vitality, which is undoubtedly a good thing for artistic creation.

By the way, George Slander is hot again, re-emerging and rejuvenating with a second spring.

However, this time, George is more critical and more focused, not to create another money-making machine, or another Lanli-Hall, but to join forces with Studio Eleven to create more excellent music wholeheartedly and dedicatedly, hoping to dig up more treasures among independent musicians.

The rise of the music market is a big scene, but it is a little bit small compared to the sweep of the film market. At the end of the day, Lan Li is still an actor.

There is no need to say much about the great achievements of Lan Li at the award ceremony, but after last year, Lan Li appeared on the year-end box office statistics list for the second consecutive year.

Last year, "Fast & Thrill/Emotion 5" ranked third in the North American year-end box office list and fourth in the global year-end box office list. However, it is in a supporting role.

This year, "Edge of Tomorrow" has achieved further glory as the first official commercial film starring Lan Li.

On top of the North American year-end box office charts, "The Avengers" won the championship with a history-making 623 million, once again showing the new potential of the North American film market, in addition to James Cameron's two works, there is now another box office giant.

Subsequently, the runner-up was the "Edge of Tomorrow" that won $550 million at the box office!

Even compared to the "Avengers", the momentum of "Edge of Tomorrow" is not inferior. Judging from the ratio of investment costs and returns, the "edge of tomorrow" undoubtedly has the upper hand.

Not only because the investment of "The Avengers" is as high as 220 million, not to mention the bold money of publicity, but also because before the release of this movie, a series of works such as "Iron Man", "Captain America", and "Thor" were foreshadowed, which were all important steps in the box office. And "Edge of Tomorrow" is a light pole commander.

Once again, Lan Li has proved its commercial value, and has become a strong candidate for a new generation of box office leaders, and a look at Warner Bros.'s attitude towards "gravity" can give a glimpse of Hollywood's attitude.

In addition to the two monsters "The Avengers" and "Edge of Tomorrow", the two monsters "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Hunger Games" also exceeded 400 million at the North American box office, ranking third and fourth on the year-end list, which is an additional surprise.

The year-end box office of the four works exceeded 400 million, which is undoubtedly a new height in the North American market. Among them, two are comic book adaptations, one is a teen adaptation, and one is a sci-fi adaptation - the common denominator is that none of them are original!

Like Don Quixote's impact on the music market, the structure of the North American film market has begun to change dramatically.

Incidentally, at the top of this year's year-end box office charts, the best result for an original work was Pixar's animated film "Brave Tales," which earned $237 million in North America, ranking ninth at the end of the year.

On the one hand, the original story really still depends on Pixar, on the other hand, the ability of original works to attract money is far inferior to that of adaptations, and now that the whole market has entered the era of fast food, the creative power has begun to dry up a lot, which has directly led to a series of subsequent changes:

For example, Disney has begun to live-action all its classic animations, for example, teen adaptations of movies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and for example, sequels of previous classic movies have been restarted, such as the "Alien" series, the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, and the "Star Wars" series.

It can be seen that it is not without reason that people call 2012 a turning year in the new century. And in this, Lan Li also played an important role, invisibly, leaving his own footprints in the annals of history.

The remaining six seats in the top 10 of the year-end box office in North America belong to "007: Skyfall", "The Hobbit", "Twilight: Breaking Dawn (Part II)", "The Amazing Spider-Man", "Legend of Bravery", and "Teddy Bear".

Among them, "Teddy Bear" became the dark horse of the year's box office, with a low/vulgar comedy genre, which swept the box office of 200 million US dollars, even surpassing the "hangover" of the year, which also made the film's director and producer Seth-MacFarlane (Seth-MacFarlane) popular overnight, and became the host of this year's Oscars.

And the most disappointing are undoubtedly "The Hobbit" and "The Amazing Spider-Man", both of which were highly anticipated and far from meeting expectations. The former's North American box office of 300 million is good, but the word-of-mouth is a mess, and the latter's box office and word-of-mouth are far below expectations, and Sony Pictures is starting to get nervous.

In addition, "The Dark Knight Rises" unfortunately suffered a shooting in the theater, which seriously affected the follow-up box office, and was not able to create a historical record, which is an uncontrollable factor, which is suffocating, and in the end, the word-of-mouth and box office of the movie were not able to surpass the previous work, which is also one of the events of the year.

As for the global year-end box office rankings, they show a similar but different pattern.

On the whole, the changes in the world film market are still relatively slow, Hollywood's commercial blockbusters can still easily harvest the box office, and Hollywood's industrial changes often take two or three years to be reflected in other markets in the world.

This year, "The Avengers" undoubtedly topped the global year-end with a total box office of $1.5 billion, while "Edge of Tomorrow" narrowly beat its rivals with a global box office figure of $1.18 billion, and also won the global year-end runner-up after North America.

"007: The Great War Skydome Crisis" swept $1.1 billion worldwide by virtue of its 50th anniversary, and occupied fourth place behind the "Edge of Tomorrow" by a narrow margin.

Subsequently, "The Dark Knight Rises", "The Hobbit", "Ice Age 4", "Twilight: Daybreak (Part II)", "The Amazing Spider-Man", "Madagascar 3", and "The Hunger Games" each occupied the remaining spots in the year-end top 10.

Compared with the North American list, "Brave Legend" and "Teddy Bear" are out, and the "Hunger Games" ranking has dropped sharply, which are all works with obvious American labels, and the decline in overseas box office performance is also a normal range, and the sequels of "Ice Age 4" and "Madagascar 3" successfully entered the top ten at the end of the year, which once again proves that the sequel effect is still applicable to commercial films.

Browsing the year-end box office list, you can find that "Edge of Tomorrow" has become the biggest surprise of the year, and the box office data of 1.1 billion has swept the world without being optimistic, which is really outstanding.

From music to movies, this year's Blue Gift has indeed created a miracle, but what really makes people pay attention to it is not these sales data and box office data, but the social influence of Blue Ceremony!
