One Thousand Six Hundred and Seventeenth Day Into the Gold Bucket

$63.5 million.

With the brilliance of "Gravity" alone, Renly has achieved the goal that other actors have spent their entire lives fighting for, and from "Edge of Tomorrow" to "Gravity", he has dedicated top box office works for two consecutive years. , which made Renly soar into the sky and instantly became the hottest actor in Hollywood.

Johnny Depp took on "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" and Robert Downey Jr. took on "Iron Man 3". Both actors have set Hollywood's highest pay record one after another. The well-deserved top existence in the film, but these two actors rely on the series of movies to make their names, and the remuneration will be greatly reduced after leaving the series of movies, which is also an objective fact.

This is also the reason why Marvel and DC's copyrights are so highly valued - all major film companies know that Xiangmo Mo is not Johnny or Robert, but comics adaptation rights (IP).

Renly is different.

"Gravity" is neither a sequel nor a sequel; Renly has not shot a single sequel to date - only one "Fast and Furious" has been shot, and the script for the sequel to "Edge of Tomorrow" is still in the works. , Renly has only made one adaptation of the original novel or comic "Edge of Tomorrow" so far.

In other words, Renly's market value is completely accumulated by itself, just like Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and Will Smith in the 1990s, such superstar value is the most worthwhile. Respectful.

Relying only on its own market appeal, Renly broke the salary record of Johnny and Robert, and received an unprecedented $60 million in salary, which is definitely a milestone in the history of the Hollywood film industry!

When Renly just entered the "Interstellar" crew, Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway joked about the name "Mr. 500 Million", because Renly's two consecutive works broke 500 million at the North American box office, Apart from James Cameron, no other artist has reached such heights.

Now, from "Mr. 500 million" to "Billionaire", this also means that the focus has shifted from market appeal to personal wealth, and Renly's aura has instantly burst into incredible energy.

What's more, that's not all.

"Drunken Country Ballad" followed.

At the beginning, Renly and "Drunken Country Ballads" missed each other for a while, but the Coen brothers still gave them absolute trust and insisted on waiting for Renly to join, which eventually led to this cooperation. Regarding the remuneration, the Coen brothers are also very special. Generous, giving the greatest convenience within the budget.

After careful consideration,

Under the suggestion and operation of Andy Rogers, he officially joined in the form of cash plus dividends:

$500,000 base salary plus a 5 percent North American box office bonus.

But obviously, even Andy himself did not expect the North American box office of "Drunken Country Ballads" to usher in a full-scale explosion, becoming the most bizarre independent art work in history. The year that Kong was born.

In 1994, the triad of "Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Pulp Fiction" can be regarded as a good story in history, and it is still talked about by people today. Among them, "Pulp Fiction" "Undoubtedly, it is a heterogeneous among heterogeneous, not only an independent work, but also an innovative work that breaks the linear narrative structure, and officially established Quentin Tarantino's position in the history of North American film.

Back then, "Pulp Fiction" earned 107 million at the North American box office with an investment of only 8 million US dollars, ranking tenth on the North American box office chart at the end of the year. The independent work has completely changed the rules of the entire film market since then.

Many people wonder why "Pulp Fiction" has such a high historical status?

First, Quentin brought a brand-new way of film narrative in a different way, which is also the third Hollywood film innovation after "Citizen Kane" and "The Male and Female Thief"; This is an independent film, which is out of the assembly line of mainstream large-scale film companies and brings new inspiration to the independent film industry.

Third, and most importantly, box office wins.

It's not just a huge profit, at the same time, "Pulp Fiction" also proves that independent films can also achieve a good box office, which is a strong positive impact on the entire film market, and then directly gave birth to DreamWorks, Focus Pictures, Fox The birth of Searchlight and other companies—that is to say, the six major Hollywood studios have since set up their own independent labels, and Sony Classics, which was established in 1992, has grown rapidly.

All in all, "Pulp Fiction" is legendary in the industry.

Now, "Drunken Country Ballads" also shows signs of reshuffling the industry. As for whether it can reach the height of "Pulp Fiction", it will be determined by time.

But at least it is certain that the North American box office of 200 million US dollars is enough to make "Drunken Country Ballads" occupy an indispensable place in the long history.

Renly also earned $10.5 million for "Drunken Country Ballads."

Purely in terms of numbers, this is naturally not comparable to the 60 million of "Gravity", but a very interesting number is worth paying attention to: the production cost of "Drunk Town Ballad" is only 11 million, and now Renly's The personal salary is almost equal to this figure, and it can be seen from the side that such a salary is incredible.

Combining the two works, in less than two months, Renly's salary income has reached as high as 74 million US dollars!

No endorsement sponsorship, no commercial activities, no personal brand, and no commercial investment, just relying on salary income, in Forbes' year-end income list, Renly deserves to occupy the top spot, beating Robert Jr.- Downey has become the most profitable upstart in America!

A look at the list of the most profitable actors in the United States over the past decade -

2012 Robert Downey Jr., 2011 Johnny Depp, 2010 Robert Downey Jr. 2009 Robert Downey Jr. 2008 Harrison Ford Jr. 2007 Johnny- Depp, Johnny Depp in 2006, Tom Cruise in 2005, George Clooney in 2004, Johnny Depp in 2003.

A new face finally appeared this year! Also, this is a Generation Y actor!

This shock to the entire film industry is unparalleled. When Forbes announced the list, and when the exhibitors announced the North American and global year-end box office charts, everyone was shocked!

From Baby Boomers to Generation X to Generation Y, Generation X has never been able to complete the succession feat, and now finally found a successor among Generation Y!

After the "Avengers" swept thousands of troops in 2012, the film industry has been sighing: Hollywood has no superstars, only copyright (IP).

Marlon Brando in the golden age, Harrison Ford and Tom Hanks in the age of commercial awakening, Tom Cruise and Will Smith in the 1990s, and Leonardo Decca in the turn of the century Prio... The personal charm of these top superstars has given the film more unique colors, but now they have all died silently.

Everyone is wondering who can take over the burden of box office superstars, but the copyright has become the darling of the market, which also makes the film charm all fall on the shoulders of computer special effects, assembly line work and adaptation of the original work, the actor's personal The charm is gradually annihilated in those modular film structures, which is embarrassing.

After all, the times are still submerged in the torrent of history.

But now, I'm afraid they need to take that back.

Nonetheless, industry insiders rejoiced, welcoming Renly's return with countless applause. Perhaps, because he completed EGOT at a young age, people are disgusting the power and domineering that crowded out Renly; now, because Renly has regained the charisma of an actor in the golden age, he has once again won the favor of the industry. .

The fact is so wonderful, business and art, which seem to be independent factors that are incompatible, but always rely on each other and support each other to exist and are inseparable.

As a result, there have been many rumors in the "Interstellar" crew. Just like this moment.

"Renly has always been so dedicated, haven't you heard of it before? He was on the set of Fast and Furious 5, where he fought Vin Diesel himself, and now it's just keeping it up. It's just his usual style. I think he doesn't need to maintain his image project at all. Are there still few rumors about him in the industry?"

"That's true. Even if he wants to maintain his image, he doesn't have to work so hard at all. If it were me, I would sit next to me and rest now, and I just need to play when I actually shoot, so that everyone doesn't dare to say anything. "

"I just listened to Renly and Chris discussing that they need to consider the impact of weight on Wia. Renly also hopes that he can adapt to Wia's performance in advance. He has hanged Wia in 'Edge of Tomorrow' before, but not many times. More, he still hopes to get used to it. What's more, this is still performing at high altitude, and it is almost three or four floors above the ground. He also needs to adjust. "

"I just think that his net worth is over 100 million, so there is no need to work so hard."

"Do you think he doesn't even know that his net worth is over 100 million? After all, who would be bored to look through their bank accounts?"

"We poor people will. Hahahaha."

"I think Universal Pictures is going to be dumbfounded that Renly is working so hard. So many opportunities are missed."

"Didn't you hear about it? It's actually...all...wait, he didn't come to the scene today, right? It's actually Thomas Tull trying to take control, and Renly didn't buy it at all, which led to the situation. deadlock."

"The version I've heard is that Renly didn't ask for a lot of money at all, he just thought it would be nice to re-work with Paul Walker, and the dinosaur project was also because of Steven Spielberg, but Universal There was always a card payment, no respect at all, but Renly didn't care at all, turned his head and left."

"Now Universal is probably going to be ruined, right? Or Kevin has a vision."
