1108 golden years
Standing at the end of the year, 2012 is undoubtedly Renly's year. No one can deny this..
First, "Don Quixote" ranked third on the album's year-end sales chart in North America; and then on the year-end single sales chart in North America, Renly once again became a member that cannot be ignored..
This year, there are four singles with sales exceeding 6 million in North America..
Gotier's "Somebody-That-I-Used-To-Know" successfully topped the year-end sales championship; Carly Rae Gibson's "Call-Me-Maybe" )" ranked second in the year with a slight disadvantage..
Number three is "Cleopatra" from Renly, a single that has set numerous records, the most interesting of which is that it is one of the singles that has never topped the Billboard charts. , the best-selling work, uses the style of folk songs to write its own miracle in an eccentric way..
Finally, "We-Are-Young" by the Fun Band became another dark horse of the year, joining the ranks of 6 million sales and ranking fourth in the year..
Except for "Call Me When You're Free", which is a pop genre, the other three songs are all very weird in style. "The Most Familiar Stranger" and "In the Mood for Love" are both alternative rock, while "Cleopatra" " is a folk song, which is a genre that has gradually been eliminated by the market, but it exploded with unimaginable energy in 2012, which has also become an important revelation for the music market..
Compared with the sluggishness of the album market, the single market is booming, especially after the strong rise of digital music sources, sales figures have begun to rise steadily. In 2012, there are still seven singles with sales exceeding 4 million..
Includes Rihanna's "We-Found-Love", LMFAO's "Sexy-And-I-Know-It" and "Party-Rock-Anthem"）”.
Also included are Fun's "Some-Nights," The Fosters' "Pumped-Up-Kicks," Nicki Minaj's "Starships," and Blue "Another ray of light"”.
Before and after, a total of eleven singles sold more than 4 million during the year, which is a remarkable achievement..
Among them, LMFAO's dance music, Fun Band's indie rock, and Renly's folk songs each occupy two seats. This has also become an important theme in this year's music market..
It is worth mentioning that among the top 50 North American singles year-end sales rankings, Renly alone occupies five seats, namely "Cleopatra", "Another Light", "Beast," "Believe In" and "Your Bones," four of the singles from the "Don Quixote" album.
With such a performance, he easily stood out from the crowd, surpassing all other singers and becoming the biggest winner on the singles chart..
In addition, "Say You Won't Give Up" and "Ophelia" also made the top 100, ranking 51st and 88th respectively..
“"Don Quixote" is an album reminiscent of last year's "21". The influence of these two albums has penetrated into all aspects of society and brought a series of continuous aftertaste; and, Compared with "21", "Don Quixote" as a folk song is obviously more important to the market..
Since then, unpopular music genres such as folk, indie rock, and jazz have received more attention. The North American music market has regained new vitality step by step. This is undoubtedly a good thing for artistic creation..
By the way, George Strand has become popular again, making a comeback with a second spring..
However, this time, George is more picky and focused. He is not trying to create another money-making machine, or another Renly Hall, but teaming up with Eleven Studios to create more outstanding products single-mindedly. music, hoping to discover more treasures among independent musicians.
The rise of the music market is a big phenomenon, but it pales in comparison to the sweep of the film market. In the final analysis, Renly is still an actor..
It goes without saying that Renly’s success at the awards ceremony goes without saying, but for the second year in a row, Renly appears at the top of the year-end box office tally after last year.
Last year, "Fast and Furious 5" ranked third in the North American year-end box office rankings and fourth in the global year-end box office rankings. This is Renly's first shining debut, which initially proved his commercial value. However, it has As a supporting role.
This year, "Edge of Tomorrow" has further achieved brilliance as Renly's first official commercial film starring himself..
On the North American year-end box office rankings, "Avengers" won the championship with a history-making 623 million, once again showing the new potential of the North American film market. In James Cameron's two works In addition, now we have another box office giant.
Subsequently, the runner-up was the "Edge of Tomorrow" which grossed US$550 million at the box office.”！
Even compared to "Avengers", "Edge of Tomorrow" is not inferior in terms of momentum. From the perspective of the ratio of investment cost and income return, "Edge of Tomorrow" undoubtedly has the upper hand..
Not only because the investment in "Avengers" is as high as 220 million, not to mention the generous publicity expenses; but also because before the release of this movie, "Iron Man", "Captain America", "Thor" and so on The foreshadowing of the series of works is an important step in the success of the box office. And "Edge of Tomorrow" is a polished film..
Once again, Renly proved his commercial value and became a strong candidate for the new generation of box office leaders. Just look at Warner Bros.'s attitude towards "Gravity" and you can get a glimpse of Hollywood's attitude..
“The two monsters "Avengers" and "Edge of Tomorrow" have demonstrated overwhelming strength in the box office market. In addition, the North American box office of "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Hunger Games" both exceeded 400 million. , ranking third and fourth on the year-end list, which is another surprise.
The year-end box office of four works exceeded 400 million, which is undoubtedly a new height in the North American market. Among them, two are comic adaptations, one is a youth adaptation, and one is a science fiction novel adaptation - together The point is, none of them are original works！
Just like the impact of "Don Quixote" on the music market, the structure of the North American film market has also begun to undergo earth-shaking changes..
By the way, in this year's year-end box office rankings, the best result for an original work is Pixar's animated film "Brave", which earned $237 million in North America and ranked ninth at the end of the year..
On the one hand, original stories really still depend on Pixar; on the other hand, the ability of original works to attract money is far inferior to adapted works, and now that the entire market has entered the fast food era, creative power has begun to dry up, which has directly led to the subsequent a series of changes：
For example, Disney has begun to turn all its classic animations into live-actions; for example, movies adapted from young adult novels are springing up everywhere; for another example, previous classic movies and sequels have been restarted one after another, such as the "Alien" series, "Alien" series, and "Alien" series. "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, "Star Wars" series.
It can be seen that there is a reason why people call 2012 the turning year of the new century. In this, Renly also played an important role, invisibly leaving his own mark in the annals of history. footprints.
The remaining six seats in the top ten of the North American year-end box office rankings belong to "007: Skyfall", "The Hobbit", "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 2)", "The Amazing Spider-Man", " Brave," "Teddy Bear”.
Among them, "Teddy Bear" became the box office dark horse of the year. With the genre of low-brow comedy, it swept the box office of 200 million US dollars, even surpassing "The Hangover" that year. This also made the film's director and director Producer Seth-MacFarlane became famous overnight and became the host of this year's Oscars ceremony..
The most disappointing ones are undoubtedly "The Hobbit" and "The Amazing Spider-Man". Both of these works were highly anticipated, but far from meeting expectations. The former's North American box office of 300 million is good, but its reputation is not. A mess; the latter's box office and reputation were far below expectations, and Sony Pictures began to get nervous.
In addition, "The Dark Knight Rises" unfortunately encountered a shooting incident in the theater, which seriously affected the subsequent box office development, and failed to create a historical record. This is an uncontrollable factor, which is disappointing. In the end, the film's reputation and box office were not good. Being able to surpass the previous one, this is also one of the annual events.
As for the global year-end box office rankings, they show a similar but different pattern..
Overall, changes in the world's film market are still relatively slow. Hollywood's commercial blockbusters can still easily harvest box office. It often takes two or three years for changes in the Hollywood industry to be reflected in other markets around the world..
This year, "Avengers" undoubtedly topped the global year-end championship with a total box office of US$1.18 billion; and "Edge of Tomorrow" also narrowly defeated its subsequent competitors with a global box office of US$1.18 billion, continuing to After North America, it also won the global year-end runner-up.
“007："Skyfall" relied on its 50th anniversary to earn $1.1 billion worldwide, trailing "Edge of Tomorrow" by a narrow margin and occupying the fourth place..
Subsequently, "The Dark Knight Rises", "The Hobbit", "Ice Age 4", "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 2)", "The Amazing Spider-Man", "Madagascar 3" and "The Hunger Games" respectively occupied the The remaining seats in the top ten at the end of the year.
Compared with the North American list, "Brave" and "Teddy Bear" were eliminated, and the ranking of "The Hunger Games" dropped significantly. These are all works with obvious American labels, and the decline in overseas box office performance is also within the normal range; and " The sequels of the two animated films "Ice Age 4" and "Madagascar 3" successfully entered the top ten at the end of the year, which once again proved that the sequel effect is still applicable to commercial films..
Browsing the year-end box office list, you can find that "Edge of Tomorrow" has undoubtedly become the biggest surprise of the year. Although it was not optimistic, it has swept the global box office data of 1.1 billion, which is really brilliant..
From music to movies, Renly has indeed created miracles this year, but what really makes people pay attention is not the sales data and box office data, but Renly's social influence.！
