In 2019, Disney is undoubtedly the biggest winner. At the beginning of the year, it also completed the acquisition of Fox for $71.3 billion, and the annual box office also reached $11.1 billion.
At the same time, is in the global box office TOP10, and Disney owns 7 of them.
includes the final chapter of the "Reunion" series that we are most familiar with, as well as various popular Disney cartoons and other masterpieces;
and the remaining three are:
Universal Pictures' "Fast and Passion" US$759 million
Warner’s "Joker" is $1.071 billion:
Sony Pictures’s "Spider-Man: Heroes Expedition" is $1.13 billion;
z is a global cost of $4.828z
z. The golden sign, whether it is a superhero series or an animation series, has been in a turbulent manner in recent years. What's even more frightening is that while Disney is taking the world by storm, it is still constantly innovating and transforming, trying to make "movies that the world likes". Therefore, Disney's works account for almost half of Hollywood's total output value. There are not many companies that
can compete with.
However, cool special effects, beautiful shots and scenes require a lot of capital and technology as support.
Therefore, Disney’s works cost a lot, and they are often large investments of more than US$150 million. such as "Frozen 2" cost 200 million US dollars, "The Lion King" 250 million US dollars, and "Avengers 4" 3.5 100 million dollars or more.
and the movie "Joker" produced by Warner Bros. last year is a win for it.
This film has received 1.07 billion US dollars (7.48 billion yuan) in worldwide, but its cost is only 55 million US dollars , not as good as "Iron Man" Little Downey's film.
Therefore, this return on investment is a miracle in 2019.
02, Jacques Phoenix: $4.5 million
This film was nominated for 11 awards in the 92nd Oscar Awards, including "Best Picture", "Best Actor", "Best Director", "Best Editing" "And other awards. The score of
IMDb is 8.6, the freshness of rotten tomatoes is 70%, and the popcorn index is 90%.
scored 8.7 points on my country's Douban, can be described as a double harvest of box office and word of mouth. The movie
was not shown in the mainland. However, many viewers watched the movie through their own channels.
Generally speaking, the content quality of this movie, can be called "artwork" whether it is the rhythm of the plot, the texture of the picture, the lines and music, or the performance of the male protagonist. The
movie tells a low-level character with a mental illness who lives in Gotham City with his mother. He imagines that he can become an excellent talk show actor and is striving for this goal.
However, reality has repeatedly shattered his dreams. In order to protect himself, he killed those who laughed at him, and with crazy actions and "imagination", Gotham City has undergone earth-shaking changes.
is really not suitable for us to show.
It is worth mentioning that this film was not taken seriously from the beginning of filming.
Because, in the DC comics, "Joker" is a villain and Batman's deadly opponent.
Therefore, he is not a positive hero who saves the world in the mainstream sense.
Therefore, Warner Corporation was not good-looking at the time. At the beginning, it was predicted that the film would not be a big hit. Thanks to the hard work of director Todd Phillips, finally got the opportunity to "test the waters". At the same time,
also gave up part of the investment share (think about it now, Warner probably regretted it).
And the protagonist in the play, Jacques Phoenix, was paid only 4.5 million and (31.48 million yuan).
can be said that is the most cost-effective deal Warner has done.
03, Jacques Phoenix & Heath Ledger
Mention this movie, many audiences will think of the dark, wet streets of Gotham City, and the "clown" grim, helpless, sad laughter.
Jacques Phoenix’s acting skills can really support the "soul" of a movie.
Heath Ledger's "Joker" image in "The Dark Knight" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become a well-deserved villain in the hearts of the audience.
The clown he plays is curious and perverted, and it is daunting in every gesture and action. He is also the most classic clown image.
Since him, many people feel that there will be no more "clowns".
and the Phoenix version of the clown has more human helplessness and desolation than the former.
may be the number one character in the play. His smile, his dance, his nuanced expressions, can all touch the audience's thoughts and emotions.
in subjective conjecture, also hopes to be affirmed and recognized by the world, but the idea is more extreme...
successfully broke the prediction that "there will be no clown after Heath Ledger" , also relying on this movie Won the honor of Best Actor at the Golden Globe Award.
deserves this honor.
04, successfully turning point
after "Godzilla 2" "The Godzilla" movie, the biggest winner is behind Warner Brothers.
Because in 2019, unlike Marvel’s main superhero, Warner Bros. produced 7 movies. In addition to the great success of "Joker", the other two highly anticipated movies with big investments have been announced, namely "Godzilla 2" and "The Godzilla" ("Goldfinch");
invested 170 million U.S. dollars in the former, and finally received only 380 million U.S. dollars. Compared with the high production cost, this result can be regarded as a hit on the street;
The latter is even more outrageous, with an investment of US$45 million, a box office of US$9.73 million and a blood loss!
For Warner, has always been the main exploration direction in recent years. In addition to mainstream superheroes,
is also conducting innovation and testing research on various themes such as horror, thriller, adult story and drama.
And this "Joker" with a small investment and a big return allowed DC to successfully find a new way of capital innovation, and it has also become a powerful trump card against Marvel.
It is understood that the growth and analysis of villains has always been a subject that Marvel wants to try.
Marvel executive vice president Victoria Alonso has also revealed that in the future, an independent movie about the big villain "Thanks" in the MCU may be filmed.
