Hugo's continuous, climbing, and hot momentum reached its peak in 1995, and finally left its mark by opening the "20 million club", truly writing glory in the long history of film. In addition to the North American film market, the global film market has also witnessed Hollywood's incomparable prosperity.

At the end of the year, the "Seven Deadly Sins" unexpectedly topped the year-end rankings with $485 million. The reason why it is unexpected is because the overseas box office of "Seven Deadly Sins" is only 290 million, and it has not even broken through the threshold of 300 million, but relying on the appeal of the two top superstars, Hugo and Brad, it still reached the top in 1995, which was a little depressed.

The outstanding expression of the "Seven Deadly Sins" in the overseas market is not only the credit of Hugo alone, it should be said that the "duel between Hugo and Brad" has become the biggest hero, and this topic inadvertently hyped up by the American media has now grown into the most high-profile focus in the world, and has become one of the most representative topics in Hollywood.

However, although the "Seven Deadly Sins" won the year-end championship, the box office results cannot be compared with the top three in the past two years, and the decline after the peak is very obvious. And this year, only one work, "Seven Deadly Sins", exceeded 400 million at the global box office, which further verified this view.

The work in the global year-end runner-up position surprised many people, and the "Die Hard 3", which was in danger of breaking through the box office of 100 million US dollars in the North American film market, actually came to such a height, and the official record of the North American box office of "Die Hard 3" was 100 million and 12,000 US dollars, which was almost a breakthrough by rubbing the sidelines, but the overseas market swept 266 million US dollars and became the best table second only to the "Seven Deadly Sins", making this work the runner-up in the year-end statistics in one fell swoop!

This is also the fundamental reason why major film companies have always been unable to give up on sequel movies, even though the overall quality of "Die Hard 3" has declined very significantly, but relying on the strong appeal of the sequel, Twentieth Century Fox has made a lot of money.

Although "Toy Story" is well-received and popular in North America, it is obviously still a little unaccustomed in the overseas market, and the box office in the overseas market is not even able to rank among the top eight of the year, but despite this, this work still relies on the outstanding performance of the North American market Xiàn to occupy the third place of the year, only less than one million dollars behind the global box office total of "Die Hard 3".

After these three works, "Apollo 13", "GoldenEye", "Pocahonta", "Batman Forever", "Ghost Pony Pony", "Future Water World", and "Jumanji" ranked fourth to tenth, respectively.

There is a huge difference between the ranking of the global box office year-end list and North America, and it can also be seen from this detail that the aesthetics of overseas markets are slightly different from North America. Overall, though, nine of the two titles in the top 10 have maintained their positions, which shows that, at least in terms of commercial performance, Hollywood's high-quality and high-level production still represents the world standard.

Among them, the success of "GoldenEye" represents the resurrection of the 007 series, Pierce Brosnan once again evokes people's love for James Bond, the most famous agent in film history, and thus begins the long rise of the series in the next two decades; "Apollo 13", "Batman Forever", "Future Water World", "Jumanji", including the runner-up "Die Hard 3", represent a bright future for large-scale commercial films.

The only difference in the top 10 is that "Future Water World" has replaced "Detective Nose 2" in the top 10.

Since most comedies have strong regional characteristics and cultural heritage, and even language colloquialisms, etc., simply put, many of the jokes in the American drama "Friends" may not be understood by everyone in Asia, not that they are not funny, but the differences in understanding caused by different cultures, which is an inevitable phenomenon.

"Detective Nose 2" ranked sixth in North America, but only received $100 million at the box office in overseas markets, and finally missed the top 10 and fell to 12th. The nature of comedy is one of the most important reasons. Of course, it is precisely for this reason that Jim Carrey's influence in the world is not to mention compared to Hugo, Tom Hanks, and even Brad Pitt is now above Kim. This is also one of the difficulties in the development of comedians.

"Future Water World" verifies another point of view, that is, high return on investment, wonderful visual effects, climactic drag racing explosions, putting aside cultural constraints and ideological differences, simply to stimulate adrenaline, works can easily cross the world cultural boundaries and win the echo of all audiences around the world: just enjoy the thrill is enough.

This work that failed miserably in North America, relying on the excellent performance of the overseas market, finally achieved a box office result of 264 million US dollars, at least in terms of book cost, it saved face, but the real internal injuries are only known to Universal Pictures itself, after the profit dividend, Universal Pictures not only cannot make money, but also lose money, but they are not as miserable as "Cut Throat Island".

Due to the good performance of "Future Water World" in overseas markets, it has also complicated the topic of raising costs that has recently been discussed in Hollywood.

But now "Armageddon" and "Ace Correspondent" have become the pioneers, and these two works are not only raising salaries, but also controlling costs, and their box office results can provide evidence support for Hollywood's hot topics in a certain way, and will inevitably have an impact on the future development curve.

In addition to the top ten, there are a total of 13 films around the world that have grossed more than 200 million yuan this year, and 36 works have grossed more than 100 million, both of which have dropped significantly compared with 1993 and 1994.

To the surprise of many people, "Death Row Walk" actually ranked among the top 20 at the global box office at the end of the year, ranking 19th, only behind the "Twelve Monkeys", such a result is really impressive, after all, this is just a pure feature film, and the box office can be regarded as a huge victory if it can exceed 30 million, and the result actually made DreamWorks and Twentieth Century Fox make a small profit, which has to be admired.

In addition, "Before Sunrise" also topped the global list in 37 places, and is the best among all works that have not grossed more than 100 million, which is also a result of people strongly suspecting that the list is wrong.

From "The Seven Deadly Sins" to "Death Row Walk" to "Before Sunrise", the outstanding performance of these three works in the global box office charts makes people clearly feel Hugo's strong influence, in the scope of the world's film market, the actor who is only 28 years old this year, relying on his strong personal charm and strong personal strength, has conquered countless audiences, and even the Cannes Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival have cast olive branches to him - following the "vulgar" to the top of Cannes and "before sunrise" to Berlin, The new edition of the Berlinale invited "Death Row Prisoners" to participate in the competition section.

In the European market as a whole, Hugo's films have achieved impressive results in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, including Italy, where the Venice Film Festival is held, not to mention the love of the young actor by filmmakers around the world, all of which have become the most shining jewels in Hugo's superstar crown.

Throughout 1995, Hugo's outstanding performance in the field of cinema has infiltrated other fields, and set off a strong frenzy that will affect an entire generation, how many people have a yearning for independent films because of "before sunrise", how many people have become interested in acting because of the "Seven Deadly Sins", how many people have refreshed their views on the work of actors because of "Death Row Walk", and how many people have chosen to embark on the path of actors because of Hugo......

In contrast, Hugo has devoted almost all of his energy to film work in the past year, and his whereabouts are almost a mystery, but is this really the case?

The energy of glory to death seems to be concentrated in the first half of the year to fully explode, with the 37th Grammy Awards ceremony in February as the center, the band set off a crazy wave of rock, so that the American audience can feel the spirit of rock in the depths of the soul, until many years later, there are still countless people who talk about the shocking performance of glory to death on the Grammy stage, and many people have a new understanding of rock and roll, and fall under such a wild, wanton, and free music.

And after the awards ceremony, EMI Records announced that it would renew its contract with a sky-high price for Glory to Death, which also allowed the band to change the entire North American music market - making rock and roll truly return to the mainstream and pushing the glory to death to the peak.

But after the Grammys, glory to death fell into a latent period, no tour, no publicity, no new album, and even the activities almost disappeared, this band is like countless rock bands, usually disappearing directly from the public eye, waiting for one day to accumulate strength, and then come out with a proud posture, stunning everyone.

However, Honor to Death is still very different from other rock bands, not only because they have a lead singer who has amazed history, but also because the new metal rock they lead has caused countless waves around the world. Although the band has not had much activity, they still swept thousands of troops with the album "Bathing in the Morning Light".

From the end of last year's "Shape of the Heart" (shape. of。 my。 heart) to the "Wonderwall" released after the Grammys, to the "Apologize" in the second half of the year, Glory to Death relied on the momentum of three singles to turn the entire North American music market upside down, and this is the real momentum of the band!
