，for you.
2012The summer movie of 2020 is full of stars, and the most popular attraction is undoubtedly the melee between four generations of box office superstars.——
Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr..
These four representative actors of the baby boomer generation have run through the history of the entire North American film market in the past two decades. They have truly entered the annals of history and witnessed the rise of the North American box office..
First, Tom Cruise's five consecutive works exceeded 100 million at the box office. After a gap between two works, another wave of seven consecutive works exceeded 100 million at the box office, truly creating a new era of commercial movies; and then Will- Smith's eight consecutive works have exceeded 100 million in box office in North America, witnessing the transitional period between the average box office figures in the North American market of 100 million and 200 million..
Then there is Johnny Depp's "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, which broke the 20 million club barrier and redefined the history of top actors' salary income; finally, there is Robert Downey Jr.'s "Iron Man" series, which once again wrote the actor's personal story His salary reached a new high and he became the box office leader in the second decade of the 21st century..
Beginning with Tom Cruise's "The Heroes" in 1992 and ending with Robert Downey Jr.'s "The Avengers" in 2012, these four actors have represented the North American box office for a full twenty years. Evolution of history, succession, transition, perfect connection, true historical representative figure.
Although during this period, top stars such as George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, Jim Carrey, and Nicolas Cage also emerged among the baby boomer actors, but the worldwide influence The strength is still slightly inferior.
Now, four box-office superstars are engaged in a melee. Robert Downey Jr.'s "Avengers" has made history, Johnny Depp's "Dark Shadows" has become cannon fodder; next, Will Smith's "Dark Shadows" "The Clothes 3" and Tom Cruise's "Rock of Ages" are about to debut one after another, and their box office performance is also attracting much attention..
There is no doubt that this is definitely the most topical and discussed summer show since the millennium.！
After the Oscars, all the hot topics have gathered here, and they are all looking forward to this year's summer season to detonate the box office energy and create a new history of the North American box office; among the bustling discussion topics, a small number of media will Bringing up the topic of the new generation's duel in a different way.
“"Renly Hall VS Chris Hemsworth VS Andrew Garfield", three new generation actors are about to make their debut in this star-studded summer season, and then formed "Edge of Tomorrow VS Snow White" Princess and the Huntsman VS The Amazing Spider-Man" confrontation situation.
It’s not because the three actors have achieved corresponding brilliance and success, which is eye-catching; but because the rise of Generation Y has become the main theme of the North American film industry for two consecutive years, and the media has paid attention to it. Even if there is no topic, they have to Forcibly "fabricating" the topic.
Renly and Andrew are friends, Renly and Chris are enemies, and Andrew and Chris have no intersection; Chris and Andrew belong to Marvel at the same time, and they are both superheroes at the same time; Renly and Andrew are both taking the lead for the first time. Starring in a commercial movie, this is the first time Chris has left Marvel to star in a commercial film alone..
The three works will be released in the second week of June, the first week of June and the first week of July respectively; at the same time, the three works are all star-studded young cast lineups. In the early promotion of the first half of the year, in order to seize the young cast The audience market started a head-on confrontation.
“In "Edge of Tomorrow", the collaboration between Renly and Jennifer, coupled with a group of young actors, many media even promoted it as a "sci-fi version of 'The Hunger Games'".
“"Snow White and the Huntsman" is a partnership between Chris and Kristen Stewart, plus Charlize Theron, forming an iron triangle with an equally young cast. There is no doubt that Chris, who left the "Twilight" series Ting is the center of attention.
“"The Amazing Spider-Man" has returned to the university campus. With the partnership of Andrew and Emma Stone, we hope to find a more youthful, campus-like and younger style of work..
Similar cast composition, similar audience positioning, similar publicity strategies, and even similar schedules, coupled with the new generation of actors who also belong to Generation Y, exactly corresponding to the duel between the baby boomers, this also makes people start to wonder. Think about a more realistic problem——
Natalie Portman and Renly Hall won Oscars two years ago. Generation Y actors began to make a name for themselves in the academy, but what about the commercial market?？
After the baby boomers, Generation After completing the handover and inheritance, the overall momentum has declined, causing Hollywood to gradually enter a period of relative vacuum..
Now, Generation Y has begun to prove its ability and ambition in terms of awards, but it is still lackluster in terms of box office.
2007In 2016, a "Transformers" movie witnessed the rise of Shia LaBeouf, and later starred in "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Countless media couldn't wait to call him the new generation of Tom Hanks, looking forward to his success. Carrying the banner of Generation Y; but five years later, people are disappointed. Shia's self-exile and self-degradation gradually caused him to lose his first-line position and only struggled in the second-line..
Now, in "Renly VS Chris VS Andrew", three Generation Y actors appeared in this summer's summer season at the same time, and they took the lead at the same time, which coincided with the duel between the baby boomers. This made people involuntarily start to get excited, and the commercial market Is the handover ceremony coming soon?？
Ever since, the showdown between four box office superstars and the showdown between three new generations have become intertwined and become the most beautiful scenery in this summer season. However, overall, compared to the sparks between the four generations of box office superstars, Four Shoots, Youth Showdown still lacks influence and appeal, and market feedback is far inferior to the former.——
This just proves that the current North American market is still dominated by baby boomers, not even Generation X..
It was against this background that the so-called remarks of Renly and the so-called remarks of Chris appeared on the Internet one after another and began to ferment rapidly. Although TMZ both clarified the falsehood of the two rumors, they once again awakened the People’s memories of last year’s “borrower door”.
“After the box-office showdown between "The Fast and the Furious" and "Thor," the career development trajectories of the two actors have shown two different styles..
Chris first starred in the low-budget horror film "The Cabin in the Woods," then went on to "Snow White and the Huntsman" and "The Avengers," and now has "Thor: Episode II" and "Star Wars" among his credits. "Trek: Into Darkness" is on the agenda.
Although the box office of "Thor" was not satisfactory, this handsome guy from Australia still entered the public eye and gradually opened up his own market in addition to Marvel's fixed development trajectory and "Star Trek" resting on their laurels. , the film appointments have gradually stabilized. However, the box office results of "The Cabin in the Woods" and "Snow White and the Huntsman" will also determine Chris' future development..
Renly is different. He has previously completed the filming of "Crazy Love" and "Fighting Cancer". He has also completed the filming of "Transcendence" and "Edge of Tomorrow". After winning the Berlin Best Actor and the Oscar Best Actor, he returned to Arrives in London's West End and joins in the performance of "Les Misérables"; currently there are no confirmed plans to star in any works - "Gravity" is still in follow-up negotiations.
Obviously, this 22-year-old British actor is making his way to the top ranks of Hollywood with an unstoppable momentum. Film appointments are coming in a steady stream. However, now Renly's reputation and popularity have reached the top, and even his salary has also reached the top. He can join the A-list, but he still lacks more proof at the box office. This time "Edge of Tomorrow" will be the touchstone.
The perpetrators were not punished, and the victims did not perish. This was not a happy happy ending, but it was a realistic situation in Hollywood. So this time, Chris and Renly faced off again, and old and new hatreds emerged. What comes to mind is whether Chris will regain the advantage or Renly will continue to exert pressure.？
Gradually, the topic of discussion began to heat up.
However, just like the scandal between Renly and Jennifer, the feud between Renly and Chris can already be regarded as an old story. In the past year, the two people have struggled in different fields. , there was almost no interaction, and no one mentioned it. Now that it is mentioned suddenly, it is inevitable that it will be ignored..
The surprise is that Andrew joined.
After Renly and Kris were "heard", Andrew also "made" similar remarks, "Personally, Renly, of course Renly. Yeah, I'm going to the West End to see what he's doing." 'Les Misérables', I have no interest in 'Snow White and the Huntsman'.”
This time, netizens didn’t even discuss it anymore, they just waited happily. Sure enough, in less than four hours, TMZ once again clarified the news, "Andrew has never made relevant remarks, it is a purely fabricated Onion News.”
In addition, TMZ also confirmed that the source of the news is an ordinary netizen living in Cincinnati. She is a loyal supporter of Chris Hemsworth. At first, she just wanted to slander Renly, but later discovered the reason for the news hype. Maybe, so I started to increase the exposure of my idol, but I didn't expect that the development of things would deviate from the original track..
At this time, Chris could no longer pretend to ignore it and was forced to express his opinion, "I respect every actor and every work. I believe that everyone hopes to produce excellent works and present Let the audience enjoy the joy of movies on the big screen. As for this summer, I think my promotional schedule will be very busy. As for whether I have time to go to the cinema, it depends on the promotional schedule of the film company..”
Official, polite, humble, and watertight. Obviously, after a year of baptism, Chris has gradually learned how to deal with the media; such a response, even if it is boring and stereotyped, at least will not leave any clues to the media.om，.
