The course of history always comes in an irresistible way inadvertently, and after the accumulation of one trivial moment after another, the historical moment suddenly shines into the scene. This is the year of dancing e-books, people once looked forward to 1994, and once marveled at 1995, but they didn't expect that it was 1996 that would become a watershed moment for the entire nineties.

After 1996, computer stunts officially became an indispensable element of production in Hollywood films, opening the vigorous prelude to the "blockbuster era", and a few years later with the shining appearance of "Spider-Man" opened a new chapter in the film industry. The impact on the entire film industry is extremely far-reaching. In fact, not just Hollywood, but globally as well.

Still "Independence Day", this work that changed the direction of history became the first work to surpass a billion at the global box office, bringing the term "movie box office" to a whole new level - and it also means that film companies will be able to find more profits in the box office market, the prosperity of the film industry can be expected, and the further encroachment of Wall Street can also be expected, which can even be called a move that has an impact on the economic and industrial structure.

The box office of $1.255 billion indiscriminately set off a "Hugo" storm in all corners of the world, which also laid the foundation for the frenzy of the global music market in the second half of the year. Relying on a record number of box office results, Independence Day was easily crowned the world's annual box office champion, taking home the title for the second year in a row – a feat already accomplished by the Seven Deadly Sins last year.

Even twenty years later, the "Independence Day" visual effects blockbuster is still talked about, not only because it witnessed Hugo's rise to the top of the superstardom, not only because of the global disaster film frenzy set off by the work, but also because the disaster film became a unique genre in Hollywood after "Independence Day", not to mention the impact it had on the film industry as a whole.

There is no work in the global year-end box office charts that can match "Independence Day" - there is no doubt about it, but what is even more terrifying is that the year-end runner-up, third runner-up and third place box office numbers are added up. Still unable to compete with the "Independence Day", such a strong table makes people feel the unparalleled appeal of the "Independence Day" from the bottom of their hearts.

After "Independence Day" won the North American and global box office championships, filling a big gap in Hugo's career, "Tornado" also won the North American and global box office runners-up in one go. [A lot of good looks] "Tornado" grossed $494 million worldwide, and it was also a huge success, writing the glory of disaster films along with "Independence Day".

Occupying the third place is "Mission Impossible", the spy movie that opened a new dawn in Tom's career. swept $45.7 million worldwide, becoming the only three works to break $400 million at the box office this year. It was undoubtedly a great success. It also created another agent spy brand after "007". However, unlike James Bond, Ethan Hunter in "Mission Impossible" has been branded as belonging to Tom and has accompanied countless fans through countless springs and autumns.

The top three of the global box office chart coincide with the North American charts, which once again proves that the North American film market is a significant position in the world.

From the fourth place, the list began to change. Despite its popularity in North America, "Mr. Sweetheart" had relatively limited worldwide influence, but the final $273 million global box office performance allowed it to make it into the top 10, ranking ninth. Tom alone occupies two spots on the North American and global year-end lists. His career has also reached a new peak, even compared to Hugo.

Replacing "Mr. Sweetheart" in North America and rising to fourth place in the world is "Brave Island", which swept $200 million at the box office in overseas markets, making it reach $335 million at the global box office, defeating a number of rivals and leading the "1996 Global 300 Million Club".

Alexander relied on "Brave Death Island" to usher in the explosion of his career, and there was an endless stream of invited works. This was something that no one, including Carl Earle, expected.

Many people have noticed the little anecdote behind the success of this work, Alexander won the role by defeating Nicolas Cage; Coincidentally, Hugo also defeated his biggest rival Nicholas at the 68th Academy Awards and won the first Best Actor in his career. Nicholas left Joseph Gibbs three months before Endeavour Elite was officially established.

Really interesting coincidence.

The biggest surprise at the global box office is the "Bell Tower Camel Man" (the. hunchback。 of。 notre。 dame)", this cartoon from Disney, adapted from the classic "Notre Dame de Paris". In the North American market, the box office will pass the threshold of 100 million, but the overseas box office has ushered in an explosion, and after achieving a box office of 225 million US dollars, it has risen to the fifth place in the global charts, which is really a result that many people did not expect.

After that, "101 Real Dog", "Ransom Storm", "Fat Professor", "Mr. Sweetheart", and "Eraser" each occupy the remaining five spots in the top 10.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Evaporation Command" relied on his global appeal. The counterattack made it into the top 10, joining hands with "The Bell Tower Camel", replacing the top 10 positions in the global box office charts of "Fake Phoenix" and "Killing Hour", two North American top 10.

It is worth mentioning that the work "The British Patient" did not receive much attention during its release, but it relied on the rave reviews of the awards season to strongly boost the follow-up box office - especially in overseas markets, when the North American box office only received $78 million, the global year-end box office reached an incredible result of $232 million, and actually surpassed Michael Jordan's "Space Slam Dunk" in the year-end list. JAM)", and finally reached the eleventh place on the list.

The biggest difference in the global charts is that the comedy film list, which has been a huge success in North America, is not as strong, and the response to American humor in overseas markets is still limited. The overseas market gave more cheers and applause to typical commercial genre films such as "Independence Day", "Tornado", "Mission Impossible", "Brave Death Island", "Ransom Storm", and "Evaporation Secret Order", which also coincided with the direction of change in the North American film market.

It ended in 1996, but the storm of the film industry was just beginning to come into play.

From the North American box office to the global box office, no one can ignore the devastation of "Independence Day", 500 million in North America and 1.2 billion in the world. This has completely refreshed people's fixed concepts, so that the positioning and restrictions of the entire market have undergone earth-shaking changes; Of course, no one can ignore the vitality that Hugo injected into the work, and it can be said that without Hugo, "Independence Day" might have been a box office success - a historical necessity, but it would never have reached such heights. As the first person with the most box office appeal today, Hugo's influence is unmatched.

"Vulgar" from 1994. By the "Seven Deadly Sins" in 1995 and then the "Independence Day" in 1996, Hugo is becoming an important page in all aspects of American society, American culture, and American history, not only because of the outstanding achievements of these works, but also because these works have had an impact on all aspects of American society, and gradually integrated into people's daily life, and subtly become a part of cultural symbols.

It's like the Beatles, it's like Michael Jackson, it's like John Wayne. wayne）。 It's like Marilyn Monroe, it's like Elvis Pressley, it's like Michael Jordan, it's like Frank Sinatra.

This is the age of Hugo, one can say so without hesitation.

The nineties are leaving a deep imprint on Hugo, and this deep imprint is not only film, but also music. The reason why people like to call the nineties belong to Hugo's era. The historical heritage behind the album "Storm" is definitely not to be overlooked.

From the Battle of the Century in late September to the ultimate showdown in late October, the Glory to Death vs. Mariah Carey and Oasis bands have completely exploded the global music market, and this vigorous head-to-head showdown has had an unparalleled and powerful impact, surpassing "Independence Day". surpassed the U.S. presidential election and became a microcosm of global culture in 1996. Not only because of the excellence and excellence of the troika, but also because the iron triangle completely unleashed the potential of the music market, every duel between the three is addictive, and even twenty years later, people still talk about the situation at that time.

Not to mention, the countless young people who have embarked on the path of music because of the battle of the century. In the second decade of the 21st century, top superstars such as Sam Smith have emerged. Smith), Adele, Ed Sheeran (ED). Sheeran), Taylor Swift (Taylor. SWIFT), Bruno-Mars (Bruno. Mars), Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, and many others have said that in their upbringing, in their musical dreams, the 1996 showdown had a crucial piece of work that almost completely changed their outlook on life and values.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the rock leather of the sixties. After the fate, there was another musical revolution. The cultural value and social impact it produced have not dissipated until half a century later. What's more coincidental is that after the "New Yorker" was the first to shout "Maracana is the Woodstock of the 90s", this sentence actually received a unanimous response from countless media. life" has been pushed to the pinnacle of history.

And this revolution. One of the most important members of life is the glory of Hugo to death!
