Why does Gu Xiaofan attach so much importance to this so-called "Hollywood power list"? The reason is also very simple, because this list is the most direct reflection of your influence on the world as a filmmaker. [No pop-up novel network]

For a world-class filmmaker, how do you measure your impact on the whole world?

The concept seems very vague, as an actor, director, producer, screenwriter...... Anyone in this industry, your success can be an Oscar, it can be the box office, it can be an active character on TV screens around the world, or you can create a lot of popular works.

It may also be because a certain work has created a new atmosphere in society......

And each single option only represents a certain aspect of success, and only the combined data can represent the true status of filmmakers in the Hollywood film and television empire.

So has anyone made such authoritative statistics to intuitively judge the influence of filmmakers?

Of course, there are three authoritative media in the world that will make similar statistics, namely the top 100 of the global celebrity list of the financial media "Forbes", the top 25 of the filmmaker power list of IMDB, the world's largest film data website, and the "top 100 of the Hollywood power list" of "Hollywood Letter", which focuses on Hollywood information.

Among them, the most well-known to the general public is the Forbes Global Celebrity List, because this one-year ranking is mainly judged based on the income of celebrities, and ordinary people can judge it intuitively.

And the disadvantage of this list is that every year there will be huge changes due to different incomes, popular new filmmakers will skyrocket their incomes and squeeze into the forefront, and adult superstars will fall off the list because they have no works for a year, and they are not very professional.

The TOP25 of IMDB's filmmaker power list completely abandons the factors of income and media influence, only judging the status of filmmakers from the popularity and influence of film works on the world this year, and the score is too dependent on the score of works on IMDB, which is far from the ordinary ranking in the eyes of the public.

Among these three lists, for industry insiders, the only one that can really represent the status of filmmakers in the circle is the "Hollywood Power List" of "Hollywood Letter Man"

This list is based on the filmmaker's income in the past five years, the current stage of the influence of the work, the media coverage and the network influence.

Among them, media coverage is the main indicator of TV, radio, and newspaper exposure.

"Internet influence" is mainly scored based on fame on 11 social media platforms, including FAC, Twitter, YouTube, Google, etc.

The most important influence of the work is to calculate the awards of the work, the North American box office, and the overseas box office to make a comprehensive calculation data.

All of these factors are added together according to a certain benchmark score to get the total score of the filmmaker.

After Gu Xiaofan received Liu Shishi's call, he immediately excitedly took out his mobile phone and logged in to the official website of "Hollywood Letter Man" with the ID of the North American Actors Guild.

This power list is announced to the outside world once a year, but on the internal website of "Hollywood Letter", there is a real-time calculation ranking, as long as you are a member of the major Hollywood practitioner unions, you can use the local union ID to log in to check your location.

In this real-time power list of the website, it is not just the TOP100 announced by the outside world, but the ranking of all hundreds of thousands of Hollywood practitioners, when Gu Xiaofan did not come to Hollywood, he was tied with Indian movie star Aamir Khan for 231st.

After officially winning the Oscar for "The Undertaker", his ranking rose to 155, and this time "Game of Thrones" was a hit, coupled with this scandal, his score on "work influence" and "media coverage" greatly increased, and finally squeezed into the top 100.

"97 ......" Gu Xiaofan looked at this ranking, and couldn't help but feel a little proud, this ranking doesn't look good, but in fact, the top 100 people who can be shortlisted for the power list are the world's top filmmaker stars.

Even the two big-name actors of the "Game of Thrones" crew, Sean Connery and Gerard Butler, were only ranked 134,169, and they were left behind by him.

And if you take a closer look, among the actors under the age of 30 in front of him, there are only 4, namely the new Dr. X James McAvoy in "X-Men: First Battle" 95; Chris Evans, who is about to star in "Captain America," is ranked 88th; Brokeback Mountain actor Jake Gyllenhaal ranked 85th; and the popular "Transformers" actor Shia LaBeouf ranked 39th.

In comparison, Gu Xiaofan is more than a year younger than the youngest of them, Shia LaBeouf, and it can be said that he is currently the most influential filmmaker in the world at this age.

In his editorial review of being shortlisted for the top 100 for the first time and becoming 97th, he wrote: "This young Chinese man has risen like a rocket, and there are still 30 places left to climb from 97th to 67th place in the history set by Chen Long among Chinese filmmakers, and it took 25 years for Chen Long to climb from 97th to 67th, and how long will it take him?" ”

The implication is that the editors of "Hollywood Letter Man" already believe that he will surpass Chen Long and become the most influential Chinese filmmaker in the world.

Gu Xiaofan looked at the shining names in front of the power list, among the top ten, there are three directors and producers, and seven actors: Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, ...... All of these are long-established superstars in this circle, almost all of whom were already famous all over the world before he was born.

"There are 96 people in front of him...... Gu Xiaofan showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and muttered softly, but he accidentally saw the name of his nemesis Allen, this guy actually took the status of the producer of the "Harry Potter" series, ranking 89th, ahead of him, which made his originally excited mood suddenly become a little unhappy.

Joanne looked at the vivid expression on his face from the side, and the excitement flashed in her eyes from time to time, but she couldn't help but feel complicated in her heart.

She could feel that for this man, what she just mentioned about "marriage" didn't matter to him at all, what he really valued in his eyes was to beat the people on this list.

However, after seeing this clearly, Joanne's originally fluctuating emotions calmed down, and she finally found Gu Xiaofan's target, so she also knew her value.

"Do you want to break Long Chen's record?" Joanne said to him: "I have calculated the data of this list, with your Chinese status, it should take about 11 years for you to reach the height of Long Chen......

Joanne originally wanted to continue: "If you wait until next year in Scotland** and you marry me, you will immediately surpass the record of 67 Chinese filmmakers." ”

But halfway through the words, Gu Xiaofan interrupted her, shook his head and said:

"I'm not aiming for 67, I'm ...... here," he said, gesturing to the phone screen to the number one Steven Spielberg position
