$63.5 million.
Just by relying on the brilliance of "Gravity", Renly has achieved the goal that other actors have spent their entire lives striving for, and from "Edge of Tomorrow" to "Gravity", he has contributed to the top box office works for two consecutive years. , which made Renly soar into the sky and instantly became the most popular actor in Hollywood..
Johnny Depp took over the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" and Robert Downey Jr. took over the filming of "Iron Man 3". Both actors set new records for the highest salary in Hollywood, which can be said to be the highest in the entire film industry. They deserve to be at the top of the list, but these two actors relied on the series of movies to make their names. After leaving the series of movies, their salary will be greatly reduced. This is also an objective fact..
This is also the reason why the copyrights of Marvel and DC are so valued - all major film companies know that Xiangmomo is not Johnny or Robert, but the comic adaptation rights (IP）.
Renly is different.
“"Gravity" is not a sequel and there is no sequel; Renly has not filmed any sequels so far - "Fast and Furious" has only filmed one, and the sequel script of "Edge of Tomorrow" is still under creation. At the same time, Renly has only filmed one adaptation of the original novel or comic "Edge of Tomorrow" so far.”.
In other words, Renly's market value is completely accumulated by himself, just like Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and Will Smith in the 1990s. Such superstar value is the most worthy respectful.
Relying solely on his own market appeal, Renly broke Johnny and Robert's salary record, earning an unprecedented $60 million in salary, which is definitely a milestone in the history of the Hollywood film industry.！
When Renly first joined the "Interstellar" crew, Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway once teased the name "Mr. 500 Million" because Renly's two consecutive works have exceeded 500 million at the North American box office. Except for James Cameron, no artist has ever reached such heights..
Now, from "Mr. Five Billion" to "Billionaire", this also means that the focus has shifted from market appeal to personal wealth. Renly's aura instantly bloomed with incredible energy..
What's more, that's not all.
“"Drunken Country Ballads" follows.
At first, Renly and "Drunken Country Folk" went around and missed each other for a while, but the Coen brothers still gave absolute trust and insisted on waiting for Renly to join, which finally led to this cooperation. Regarding the remuneration, the Coen brothers also paid special attention to Generous and provides the greatest convenience within the scope of the budget..
After careful consideration, and under the advice and operation of Andy Rogers, we officially joined in the form of cash plus dividends.：
Base salary of $500,000 plus 5% North American box office dividend.
But obviously, even Andy himself did not expect that the North American box office of "Drunken Country Ballad" would explode, becoming the most incredible independent art work in history. In a daze, people once again saw the "Pulp Fiction" crossover. The year Sora was born.
1994In 2007, the tripartite confrontation of "Forrest Gump", "Shawshank Redemption" and "Pulp Fiction" can be said to be a good story in the annals of history, and it is still talked about by people to this day. Among them, "Pulp Fiction" It is undoubtedly an outlier among outliers. It is not only an independent work, but also an innovative work that breaks the linear narrative structure, officially establishing Quentin Tarantino's position in the history of North American films..
That year, "Pulp Fiction" only invested US$8 million in exchange for a box office of 107 million in North America. It ranked tenth on the North American box office rankings at the end of the year. It was the first film in film history to have a box office of over 100 million. independent work, which has completely changed the rules of the entire film market..
Many people wonder why "Pulp Fiction" has such a high historical status？
First, Quentin has brought a brand-new film narrative technique with a unique approach. This is also the third Hollywood film innovation after "Citizen Kane" and "The Male and Female Robbers"; second, this is a new film narrative technique. This independent film broke away from the assembly line operations of major mainstream film companies and brought new inspiration to the independent film industry..
Third, and this is most important, box office victory.
Not only is it a huge profit, but "Pulp Fiction" also proved that independent films can also achieve a good box office harvest. This is a powerful positive impact on the entire film market, which directly gave birth to DreamWorks, Focus Features, Fox The birth of Searchlight and other companies - that is to say, the six major Hollywood film companies have since then begun to set up their own independent labels, and Sony Classics, established in 1992, has also grown rapidly..
All of this has created the legendary status of "Pulp Fiction" in the industry.
Now, "Drunk Country Ballads" has also shown signs of reshuffling the industry. As for whether it can reach the heights of "Pulp Fiction", time will decide.
But at least it is certain that the box office of 200 million US dollars in North America is enough for "Drunk Country Folk" to occupy an indispensable place in the long history of history..
With "The Ballad of Drunken Country", Renly's salary income also reached 10.5 million US dollars..
In terms of numbers alone, this is naturally not comparable to the 60 million of "Gravity", but a very interesting number deserves attention: the production cost of "The Ballad of Drunken Country" was only 11 million, and now Renly's My personal remuneration is almost equal to this figure. You can see from the side that such a remuneration is incredible..
Combining the two works, Renly's salary income reached as high as $74 million in less than two months.！
With no endorsement sponsorship, no commercial performances, no personal brand, and no business investment, relying solely on salary income, Renly deservedly occupied the top spot in Forbes' year-end income rankings, defeating Robert Jr. - Downey has become the most profitable upstart in the United States！
A look at the list of America's top-earning actors over the past decade——
2012Robert Downey Jr. in 2011, Johnny Depp in 2011, Robert Downey Jr. in 2010, Robert Downey Jr. in 2009, Harrison Ford in 2008, Johnny Depp in 2007 Depp in 2006, Tom Cruise in 2005, George Clooney in 2004, and Johnny Depp in 2003.
There are finally new faces this year! Moreover, this is an actor from Generation Y！
This was an unparalleled shock to the entire film industry. When Forbes announced the list, and when Exhibition Relations announced the year-end box office list in North America and the world, everyone was shocked.！
From the baby boomers to Generation X and then to Generation Y, Generation！
2012After the "Avengers" swept across thousands of troops in 2008, the film industry has been lamenting: Hollywood will no longer have superstars, only copyrights (IP）.
Marlon Brando in the golden age, Harrison Ford and Tom Hanks in the commercial awakening era, Tom Cruise and Will Smith in the 1990s, and Leonardo DiCaprio at the turn of the century Prio...the personal charm of these top stars gave the movie more unique color, but now they have all fallen silent and died.
Everyone is curious about who can take over the burden of box office superstar, but the result is that copyright has become the darling of the market, which also makes the film's charm fall entirely on the shoulders of computer special effects, assembly line operations, and adaptation of the original work. The actors' personal The charm is gradually lost in those modular film structures, which is disappointing.
After all, the era is still submerged in the torrent of history..
But now, I'm afraid they need to take it back.
Despite this, people in the industry were overjoyed and welcomed Renly's return with countless applause. Perhaps, because he completed EGOT at a young age, people were disgusted with Renly's strength and dominance; now, because of Renly's return, Reviving the charisma of the actor in his golden age, he once again won the favor of industry insiders.
The fact is so wonderful. Business and art, which seem to be incompatible independent factors, always rely on each other and support each other's existence, and are inseparable..
As a result, there were many rumors among the crew of "Interstellar". Just like at this moment.
“Renly has always been so dedicated, haven't you heard of that before? On the set of 'Fast and Furious 5', he did all the fighting scenes with Vin Diesel himself, and now he just maintains his usual style. I think he doesn't need to defend himself at all. image project, are there still few rumors about him in the industry?？”
“That's true. Even if he is trying to protect his own image, there is absolutely no need to go to such lengths. If it were me, I would just sit aside and rest now. I only need to appear during the actual filming, so that no one dares to say anything..”
“I just heard Renly and Chris discuss that they need to consider the impact of weight on wires. Renly also hopes that he can adapt to the performance feeling of wires in advance. He has played wires before in "Edge of Tomorrow", but not many times. , he still hopes to get used to it. What's more, this is still a high-altitude performance, almost three or four floors above the ground. He also needs to adjust..”
“I just think that since his net worth is over 100 million, there is no need to work so hard..”
“Do you think he doesn't know that he is worth over 100 million? After all, who would be bored enough to look through their bank account?？”
“We poor people can do that. Hahahaha.”
“I think Universal Pictures was probably dumbfounded because Renly was so desperate. They failed to seize so many opportunities..”
“Haven't you heard? In fact, it's all...it's all...wait, he didn't come to the scene today, right? In fact, it was Thomas Tull who was trying to take control, but Renly didn't buy it at all, which led to the impasse..”
“The version I heard is that Renly didn't have much demand for the salary at all. He just thought it would be a good thing to work with Paul Walker again. The Dinosaur project was also because of Steven Spielberg, but Universal didn't But he kept paying with cards and showed no respect at all, but Renly didn't care at all and turned around and left..”
“Universal is probably going to be so ruined that its intestines will turn green now, right? Maybe Kevin has some foresight?.”
