No one could have expected that "gravity" would win the 2013 North American year-end box office rankings.

No one could have expected that the year-end box office of "Drunk Village Songs" would surpass "Thor 2".

The praise focused on Lanli has long been broken. There is no need to say anything, but it is more disappointing with the box office of "Star Trek" and "Thor 2". What's interesting is that both works are exactly the role of Chris Hemsworth, which is really a very, very magical thing, isn't it?

But compared to negative news, positive news makes people even happier: "Zombie World War" and "Crazy Primitive Man" are such works.

The former is a work starring Brad Pitt. Before it was released, negative news about the work was endless. From internal differences to editing conflicts, the production team seemed to be unable to unify their opinions.

The differences between director Mark Foster and producer Brad Pitt even ignited the powder keg. In the end, Paramount stood on Brad's side, causing Mark to go wild. There were a lot of post-production problems, forcing Paramount to change the release schedule three times in a row. Later, during the internal trial, the feedback was ambiguous and unclear, and everyone was secretive.

Everything casts the prospects of the movie.

Who knew that after the movie was released, it completed a counterattack. Although it never topped the weekend box office rankings, the cumulative box office exceeded 200 million US dollars, bringing a small surprise. Although compared with the movie's cost of up to 190 million US dollars, the global box office of 540 million US dollars was only a small profit for Paramount; but because of Brad's relationship, the sequel was still on the agenda.

The latter is produced by DreamWorks Animation, which has been turbulent in recent years.

In fact, DreamWorks' works still maintain good quality. Works such as "Kung Fu Panda" and "Dragon Trainer" have won good reviews, but the box office performance has always been somewhat different from expectations. Not to mention that they are comparable to peak works such as "Monster Shrek", even if they are more up-and-coming stars like Lighting Entertainment, they are gradually left behind.

This time, the "Crazy Primitive Man" was both well-known and popular. It was really gratifying to successfully start the turnaround battle of DreamWorks. Compared to Disney and Lighting Entertainment, DreamWorks' fantasy ideas are still their trump card, finding a beautiful balance between anti-traditional absurdity and wisdom, which is also their capital to base itself on the North American market.

Overall, the year-end North American box office rankings in 2013 can be said to be a coexistence of surprises and regrets, while Lan Li undoubtedly became the biggest winner of the year.

This is also the first time that Lanli has reached the throne of the year-end box office championship in North America in his career! Moreover, "gravity" is a work that Lanli takes the lead, and its significance is even more extraordinary.

The same situation has also continued to the global year-end box office rankings.

The global box office of the three works "Georgeous", "Frozen" and "Iron Man 3" all broke the billion threshold. In terms of numbers alone, it is lower than last year's four "Avengers" in 2012, "007: The Crisis of Skybreak", "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight", and "Hobbit" all achieved such a feat, but the overall quality of the three works this year is also better.

Among them, "Georgeousness" surpassed last year's "Avengers" with an astonishing number of 1.643 million, ranking third on the box office list in film history.

"Frozen" relies on its strong reputation recoil to complete a counterattack in overseas markets, ranking fourth in North America and second in the world, with a score of 1.276 million easily surpassing the other three works last year's "Breaking the Sky Crisis". The global box office of "The Rise of the Dark Knight" and "The Hobbit" will be just over one billion.

"Iron Man 3" also continued the strong appeal of the Marvel family, with an overseas box office of 1.21 billion, creating the highest Marvel Universe work, second only to the "Avengers", but in the end, the total box office was regrettably lost to "Gravity" and "Frozen". In addition, the global weak "Hunger Games 2" swept across North America, which also gave major film companies a revelation.

Although adapted works can easily win box office, the quality of works is still the core standard that determines the direction of the market. It is undoubtedly a crucial inspiration for companies outside Warner Bros. and Disney that do not have the copyright of adaptation, especially small companies outside the six major film companies.

In the end, "Georgeous", "Frozen" and "Iron Man 3" ranked among the top three in the global year-end box office rankings. Among them, "Georgeous" successfully won the double-list championship in the extremely fierce competition, and is undoubtedly the biggest winner in 2013.

In addition to these three giant beasts that swept the box office of one billion, "Despicable 2", "Hobbit 2", "Hunger Games 2", "Fast and Furious 6", "Monster University", "Superman: Man of Steel", and "Thor 2" occupy the remaining seven positions in the top ten, forming this year's global year-end box office list.

Compared with the North American box office, "Thor 2" replaces "Demon Realm Wizard", which is the only change, while other works have slightly changed their rankings.

The strength of comic adaptations and the recovery of animation movies, the "Crazy Primitive Man" ranks 11th on the global list, the decline of sequel movies and the rise of dark horse works have become the biggest portrayal of the entire film market in 2013, and the revelations and changes derived from this are quietly fermenting.

By the way, the "Drunk Country Folk Song" with a significant decline in overseas box offices lacks combat effectiveness in the global box office rankings. Compared with the more market-friendly "Wolf of Wall Street" ranked 17th in the world, and the gorgeous and moving "Great Gatsby" ranked 20th in the world, which once again proves Leonardo DiCaprio's appeal globally.

In the end, the "Drunk Village Folk Song" ranked 30th on the year-end list with a global box office of 270 million.

Despite this, compared to Leonardo's box office results, people are still more amazed at Lan Li's market potential. After all, "Drunk Village Folk" is a work that does not have any box office capabilities in all aspects, but now it can enter the top 30 in the global year-end list. This is the real toughness.

From the North American box office to the global box office, Lan Li has been the focus of attention, which has also made the source background of the rumor of "billion-rich net worth".

After the start of 2014, what is the hottest and sensational news in the entire industry?

It’s not awards season, but Lanli. To be more accurate, it should be Lanli’s pay.

The two works "Georgeous" and "Drunk Village Folk Song" have successively become the strongest hits in the second half of the year. The former triggered the autumn period, while the latter broke the shackles of the art box office. Putting aside the prospects of the awards season, relying solely on box office data is enough to change the fixed concept of the entire industry.

Undoubtedly, this also focused all of his attention on Renli.

From EGOT to the three major film festivals in Europe, the three major Grand Slams of the Best Actors in the Arts field have reached an unparalleled level, even compared to veteran actors like Meryl Streep, Daniel Day Lewis, and Sean Penn. Now, Lane has made further breakthroughs in the business field and has become the second Tom Hanks in the past twenty years.

There is no need to say about Tom Hanks' lofty status in North America. Since the commercial market of films in the 1980s, he has been the only actor who can win full support between art and business. After him, Leonardo DiCaprio was considered his successor, but unfortunately, until 2014, Leonardo still failed to break through the shackles of the Little Golden Man in terms of awards.

However, even Tom Hanks is still not a member of the 20 million club!

Of course, it is definitely not because Tom is not qualified, but because Tom chose the style of his work, even if he took on commercial movies, Tom chose celebrity biographies, such as "Forrest Gump", "Apollo 13" or "The Rest of the Desert Island", or romantic comedies, such as "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle", "Electronic Love Letter" or "Happy Terminal". The rare exception is that he took on "Da Vinci Code", and these works still did not bring breakthroughs in pay.

It can be understood that Tom's image has made him in some ways and limited him in others.

Until Renley appeared.

From awards to box office, Lanli is taking over the North American market in full; more importantly, Tom appears in public with a perfect image of a traditional American man, while Lanli is still a charming golden bachelor. He has been ranked as the champion of "the world's most/sexy/sensual man" on the major vote rankings for two consecutive years. This has also made Lanli's commercial value rise, and the pay numbers naturally continue to rise.

Now, "gravity" and "Drunk Village Folk Song" both ignited the market, so what is Renli's pay?

When Barry Mayer, then CEO, went to London to negotiate the film pay. Lan Li did not raise the price, and Barry did not lower the price. The conversation between the two sides was very pleasant, which continued the good cooperative relationship between the two sides and successfully allowed Warner Bros. to seize the opportunity.

The production cost of "gravity" is only 100 million US dollars, so Lanli chose the box office dividend method and jointly took on the production risks of the movie:

Ten percent of North American box office dividends.

This also means that Lanli will earn $63.5 million with this movie. Of course, this is before tax. New York, where Lanli is located, is one of the highest tax rates in the United States. After deducting taxes, the figure is not the case; despite this, this still caused a sensation in the entire North America.

Sixty-three and five million dollars!

This is the source of the rumor of "billion-rich wealth". From "Edge of Tomorrow" to "gravity", the box office of just two works easily pushed Renli's net worth by 100 million US dollars. In a quiet way, this actor who started with excellent acting skills and independent art works is becoming the most profitable actor in North America.
