72_72291The success of an "Independence Day" has amazed film practitioners, made news practitioners lively, and made movie viewers excited. From director Roland Emmerich to screenwriter Dean Devlin, from Alexander Lorraine to Sandra Bullock, from Will Smith to Jennifer Aniston, almost the entire crew benefited in all aspects, and the fiery after-effects made everyone's careers more or less positively change.

However, the real beneficiary of the film's great success is undoubtedly Hugo, as a well-deserved actor in the movie, and the first hero of the movie to save the earth, Hugo's popularity has already reached the peak of the era has been raised again, and now Hugo is no longer Marlon Brando second or Paul Newman second, he is creating an era that belongs to him, only his era.

After the success of "Independence Day", people's attention was once again focused on Hugo's salary, which was the first film in film history to reach 20 million US dollars, and many people in Hollywood at the time thought it was a bold adventure, because the 20 million club would have a huge impact on the entire Hollywood salary structure, with immeasurable consequences. Even putting aside the salaries of other Hollywood actors and the costs of film companies, Hugo alone was paid 20 million US dollars, which caused a heavy burden on the cost of "Independence Day", which was very detrimental to the film production.

But now when we re-examine the matter of the "20 million club", people suddenly find that this is what Hugo deserves!

Hugo's strong box office appeal had a positive impact on the film far more than the value of the 20 million salary, and the original 20th Century Fox estimated that the box office of "Independence Day" should be 300 million in North America, 400 million overseas, and 700 million in the world - even this result is a hearty victory for 20th Century Fox.

But relying on the power of Hugo, in the end, "Independence Day" achieved a box office of 500 million in North America, 700 million overseas, and 1.2 billion worldwide, which made Kevin Pence wake up with a smile in his dreams. This is the energy of the actor's box office appeal, and this is the value of the 20 million club.

What's even more terrifying is that after Hugo received a salary of 20 million US dollars, he is still eligible for the global box office dividend of "Independence Day", although Twentieth Century Fox has never revealed how much dividends Hugo can get. But the decision was widely seen as stupid at the time, and there were fears that Twentieth Century Fox had made a terrible mistake -- even fatal than the "future water world."

But now it seems that Kevin's decisiveness saved Twentieth Century Fox, not only winning the battle of "Independence Day", but also winning the further cooperation of Endeavor Elite Agency, and winning the support of Hugo, which has a crucial positive impact on the plans of Twentieth Century Fox for the next five or even ten years.

This is called vision.

Although Twentieth Century Fox did not announce Hugo's dividend ratio, many media have made predictions, and there are countless rumors in the circle.

In fact, Hugo's "Independence Day" box office dividend is 2 percent of the world's - provided that the North American box office exceeds 200 million, and it now seems that Twentieth Century Fox's demand for "Independence Day" is not only easily met, but far exceeds the bottom line. In other words, Hugo is eligible to take a two-percent share of the $1.255 billion global box office, or $25 million.

In the end, Hugo can earn a total of 45 million US dollars in the "Independence Day" work, with a basic salary plus dividends - even after deducting the high rich tax, it still easily breaks Hugo's 30 million-level salary in the two works of "Life and Death" and "Pulp Fiction", which is the posture of the first person in Hollywood.

Unique.

The salary of 45 million US dollars, even in the distant future, in 2014, is still a staggering number, and Hollywood artists who can get such a salary can be counted on one hand. But this is 1996, the ancient and long old year of 1996, and Hugo has already reached this level.

To put it simply, an "Independence Day" is enough for Hugo to buy a estate in Beverly Hills. Such a momentum, in any era, in any country, any work, is the top of the top.

Hugo's final salary has far exceeded the terrifying level, and even the height that people can't imagine. Not to mention ordinary people, even Twentieth Century Fox himself was scared out of a cold sweat, and Kevin even ordered to keep silent about Hugo's final salary, and he was not allowed to leak the news even in the circle. At the moment in 1996, an actor earns $45 million, which is even more exaggerated than the global box office of "Independence Day" 1.2 billion, and the aftermath is unimaginable.

But even so, the bigwigs of the major film companies are all old foxes with eyesight, and they have more or less sniffed out the tricks and insiders, but everyone wisely closed their mouths. The shock and turmoil that the 20 Million Club has brought to Hollywood has only just begun, and they don't want a "$45 million" to bring everything to pieces.

But it is undeniable that the salary of 45 million US dollars is the direct embodiment of Hugo's transcendent status in Hollywood today - for businessmen who put interests first, they are willing to divide the interests that are regarded as the root of their lives, just to cooperate with Hugo, which shows that they attach great importance to Hugo. Such treatment, even if it is not Hollywood, in all areas of society, can definitely be said to be the highest level.

Karl. Marx In his book Capital, Marx says, "As soon as there is a proper profit, capital is emboldened." If there is a 10 percent profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; With twenty percent profit, it becomes active; With a 50 percent profit, it takes a risk; For the sake of 100 percent profit, it dares to trample on the laws of the world; With a profit of 300 percent, it dares to commit any crime, even risking hanging its head. ”

Someone once calculated that "Independence Day" swept the $1.2 billion box office worldwide at a cost of $100 million, of which the profit that Twentieth Century Fox could pocket from the box office was close to $360 million -- before taxes, in other words, the profit margin was as high as 260 percent, which was enough for Twentieth Century Fox to "trample on the laws of the world."

But this is only the beginning, the profits from the subsequent "Independence Day" video rentals and movie peripherals are all attributed to Twentieth Century Fox, and Wall Street's conservative estimates can be at least $30 million or more.

Of course, the most important thing is that the film "Independence Day" broke countless historical records, not only creating a new history at the box office in North America and around the world, but also leading a new trend in terms of topic focus, and becoming a decisive force in changing the course of the history of the film industry, and the added value of these factors to the future development of the 20th century Fox industry, as well as the brand value, are immeasurable.

In other words, the profit of a "Independence Day" created by Twentieth Century Fox is far more than 300 percent, and everyone clearly knows that the value of Hugo as the leading actor has exceeded the value of "300 percent profit". So, don't say it's a $100 million investment, don't say it's $20 million in compensation, even a $200 million investment, even if it's $45 million, it's enough for any top film company to take a risk, enough for any Wall Street venture capital firm to bet on Hugo.

If you just look at the profit margin, "Independence Day" is naturally not as good as works such as "Speed of Life and Death", "Pulp Fiction", "Schindler's List" and other works with small cost investment, but as a commercial blockbuster, the impact of "Independence Day" is unimaginable, and more importantly, compared with independent films, commercial films as genre films, the success model can be replicated, in other words, works like "Independence Day" can be made on an assembly line, but "Pulp Fiction" is simply impossible.

Therefore, for the major Hollywood film production companies, the significance of "Independence Day" is even more important than the sum of all Hugo's previous works. Of course, no one will forget that Hugo was able to climb to such a position and give such a strong appeal to "Independence Day", which is simply impossible without the previous foundation.

But no matter what, after "Independence Day", Hugo's ultra-high salary of $45 million once again set a new record for his own salary, not only creating a club of 20 million, but also exerting the energy of Hollywood's star-making plan to the extreme. In the past month or so, it is not surprising that major Hollywood media, major film production companies, and major top practitioners have been frantically chasing Hugo.

A profit of 300 percent is enough for people to chase profits by any means necessary. Even if they have to pay a bigger price, they will not hesitate to do it.

Once again, Hugo once again brought surprises, bringing "Independence Day" with a sweeping attitude, once again breaking people's fixed concepts, and creating a unique summer in North American film history, even if the summer file is extremely noisy after 20 years, even if the North American box office history list is unrecognizable ten years later, but no one can forget the summer of 1996, an "Independence Day" was born, which completely changed everyone's life, brought an audio-visual feast, and brought an industrial revolution. Life!

With the power of the "Independence Day" box office of 1.2 billion, Hugo really reached the top of Hollywood, reaching a peak that even he himself could hardly surpass: at this time, people are more curious, what will Hugo do next? What will be Hugo's next work? Was 1996 the peak of Hugo's career? Hugo Lancaster, what kind of gesture will this name appear in the long history of cinema?
