2158.Chapter 2158 2158 The momentum is hard to stop

On January 23, the 57th Golden Globe Awards were a grand show, and the red carpet was star-studded, but Hugo was still not seen, and Charlize Theron was not seen, this is the eighth consecutive time that Hugo has been absent from the Golden Globes.

The Golden Globe Awards also seem to have completely given up their efforts, and among the results, the crew of "A Beautiful Mind" and the crew of "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" were all wiped out, and everyone returned empty-handed, with Hugo bearing the brunt of the two nominations. In the competition for best actor in a drama series, he lost to Denzel Washington of "The Hurricane", and in the battle for best screenplay, he lost to the talented Charlie Kaufman, who won the title with his debut film "Puppet Life".

Even in the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress categories, "A Beautiful Mind" both lost, Leonardo lost to Tom Cruise of "Magnolia" and Charlize lost to Angelina Jolie of "Soul Shifter".

The best film in the drama category went to "The Genius Ripley", while the best director went into the pocket of Michael Mann, the director of the "Inside Story". The winner of the award for Best Film Score went to "The Pianist of the Sea. Legend。 Of。 1900)”。

"Beautiful Mind" poured into the hot stove, but seven nominations were not received, becoming the biggest upset of this year's Golden Globe Awards; What's even more incredible is that all the awards were won by different works, such as "Ripley the Genius", "Inside Story", "Puppet Life" and other awards season hits. Even the box office fiasco "Man on the Moon" won Jim Carrey the best actor in a musical comedy.

Such a Golden Globe Award is indeed a big surprise, and the Oscars to be held two months later suddenly became uncertain. However, this result coincides with recent Hollywood rhetoric, which is gaining momentum as a "Hollywood cancer" that seems to have become so jealous of Hugo's achievements that people have become so jealous of Hugo's achievements overnight that they have rallied together to resist Hugo's hegemony – at least to stop Hugo's continued sweep in the awards.

Even so, the box office trend of "A Beautiful Mind" has not been affected in any way, and even Princeton University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Harvard University have praised the film, and many professors have watched the film, although they have scoffed at the portrayal of John Nash in the movie, John's dedication to mathematics is widely recognized. Princeton University, in particular, had a very positive image in the film, which won a lot of praise from the university, which was a result that Hugo did not anticipate when he wrote the script.

The better the box office of "A Beautiful Mind", the higher the hatred value of "Hollywood cancer"; But the hotter the discussion of "A Beautiful Mind", the better the box office of the movie becomes. It seems like an endless loop that simply can't be unraveled.

After Denzel defeated Hugo to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama, many viewers expressed their sorrow, and some even felt indignant that Hugo had been mistreated. As Empire magazine put it, Hugo's performance in "A Beautiful Mind" was the pinnacle, and it was ridiculous that he didn't win an award for his performance that almost the whole screen shined on the big screen.

This has triggered a new round of movie-watching frenzy, and the audience seems to be determined to support Hugo with practical actions.

In the cold winter file, it is indeed difficult for "Beautiful Mind" to find an opponent - this is also unexpected, in the competition of the weekend box office is generally less than 6 million, the weekend box office of "Beautiful Mind" of more than 10 million US dollars is completely invincible, this is like a group of featherweight fighters trying to challenge the heavyweight boxing champion, not on the same level at all, so, "Beautiful Mind" has walked out of a god-level box office curve, from the first unexpected championship to three consecutive championships and then to five consecutive championships, The upward momentum has left everyone jaw-dropping.

Until the first week of February, "Scream 3 (Scream. 3)", which ended the streak of "Beautiful Mind".

As one of the most classic and successful horror film series in North America, the "Scream" series ushered in its third installment this year, with an investment of up to $40 million that is unimaginable for a horror movie. However, in this year's summer file, the outstanding performance of horror movies such as "The Sixth Sense", "Blair the Witch", and "Ghost Invasion" has given "Scream 3" a lot of confidence, especially since the first two parts of the series have accumulated a large number of fans, and the box office of the movie is bound to make a difference.

Therefore, "Scream 3" was screened in a full 3,500 theaters, setting a new record for large-scale releases in the winter file, which can almost be called a giant in this deserted schedule, and the strong premiere has sparked countless discussions. The market, which has just experienced the hustle and bustle of the Golden Globes, has finally shown a hint of warmth in the cold winter, responding to the prestige of this classic horror series with a $34 million premiere box office.

In the face of such an excellent performance of "Scream 3", even the highest box office in a single week of "A Beautiful Mind" could not compete, although it naturally handed over the championship, but even so, the decline of the movie was still controlled within 25%, and it was not too affected by competitors to seize the market.

After being terminated for five consecutive championships, the weekend box office of "Beautiful Mind" still performed well, especially after the announcement of the Oscar nominations, the atmosphere of the entire awards season was slowly pushed to the peak, and the box office of "Beautiful Mind" became more and more courageous, and even handed over a 20% increase for two consecutive weeks, and the ability to pull the box office is not inferior even in the summer file, except for the first week of screening, "Beautiful Mind" has exceeded 10 million weekend box office in the next nine consecutive weeks, Such a level is already comparable to a commercial blockbuster with excellent results, and "A Beautiful Mind" is just a biographical film with an investment of 60 million.

In the fourth week of February, "A Beautiful Mind" delivered $14 million at the box office with a 31 percent box office increase, returning to the runner-up position in the North American weekend box office charts for the second consecutive week, just behind the newly released "The Whole Nine Yards." Whole。 Nine。 Yards)", so that the cumulative box office of the film officially crossed the threshold of 200 million, temporarily settled at 200 million and 5 million dollars.

This also officially killed all the suspense, and "A Beautiful Mind" has become a record of five consecutive works by Hugo since "Independence Day" to break 200 million at the box office!

In 1994, "Vulgar" was released and achieved a box office of 172 million US dollars, making Hugo the first actor in film history to box office more than 100 million in five consecutive works, but unfortunately, the subsequent release of "Before Sunrise" was not able to continue this record. Soon after, Tom Cruise also relied on the big win of "Mr. Sweetheart" to tie this record, and truly achieved the glory of box office superstar.

What's even more rare is that Hugo and Tom have both starred in five consecutive works with a box office of over 100 million, proving their strong box office appeal.

At the turn of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Hugo himself rewrote this record, grossing five consecutive films to exceed $200 million, including three films that grossed $300 million. And Hugo actually reached such a high box office for five consecutive works, and he achieved this feat steadily and evenly.

It is not difficult to achieve five works with a box office of more than 100 million or more than 200 million, especially after entering the 21st century, the entire North American film market has ushered in a box office explosion, including Marvel movie adaptation series, including "Harry Potter" or "Twilight" adaptation series, can allow a group of actors to achieve this feat. But the most rare thing is that this is five works in a row, and it is five in four years, and at the same time it is four original films plus an adapted movie, which is so difficult that even if you use "myth" to describe it, you can't express the shock of your heart.

Not only did this make history, but it was also an unbeatable record for a long time to come, and Will Smith, Robert Downey Jr., Jennifer Lawrence, and a bunch of young idols who were born out of nowhere because of Marvel movies were not able to achieve this feat. This is a miracle in the long history of North American cinema, which is almost considered to be a miracle that can never be replicated.

And most importantly, Hugo's pace has not stopped, and maybe there will be a sixth or seventh part...... The only one who can break the record is always himself, and this absolute dominance of the cold in the heights can be felt by no one except Hugo, and it is even extremely difficult to get close.

The box office of "Beautiful Mind" exceeded 200 million, which not only wrote a piece of history, but also erected an eternal and unsurpassable benchmark, making the name of "superstar" unattainable and shining. In the light of Hugo Lancaster, no one can deserve the title of "superstar", and in the whole long history, he can also be regarded as a unique superstar - not only because of his box office appeal, not only because of his achievements in major awards, not only because of the glory to death, not only because of the strength of album sales, but also because of his unparalleled influence on the whole society, which is absolutely unique in the long history!

Five consecutive movies have broken 200 million at the box office, which is an incredible record, but behind this record is Hugo's strong dominance over the film market and his far-reaching influence on society, which also makes Hugo the only artist in film history who can truly match the title of "superstar".

At this time, looking back at the work "A Beautiful Mind", perhaps it is indeed the pinnacle of Hugo's work, not only witnessing the best performance of Hugo's career, but also achieving the last glory before the end of the twentieth century, and becoming a milestone for Hugo to the top of the superstar; At this time, if you look back at the 1992 Golden Raspberry Award, it is estimated that everyone will show a knowing smile, life is sometimes so unpredictable.
