"Before Sunrise" once again completed an incredible victory. The Chicago Tribune's $7 million box office prediction for the film was already the most optimistic in the media. And this estimate of the "Chicago Tribune" has been scoffed at by many media. It is simply impossible to get seven million dollars "before sunrise".

But now." Before Sunrise" not only received a lot of praise. Won the Silver Bear trophy at the Berlin Film Festival. It also won $32 million at the box office in North America. The world has also grossed $85 million in one fell swoop. This is for an art film. A real yàn independent niche film. It can almost be said that it is a result against the sky.

If you start with the subject matter. Then consider the filming technique and the composition of the film." Before Sunrise" is no less than "vulgar".

But Colin Mailer doesn't think so.

While the results of Before Sunrise were excellent – and Colin wouldn't deny it. But put the "before sunrise" results in the whole river of time to make a longitudinal comparison. The result is very different. The so-called "long river of time" here refers to Hugo's career as an actor.

The mainstream view in Hollywood is to divide Hugo's career into two phases. Take the Golden Raspberry Award in January 19 as the node. Divided into before the Golden Raspberry Award and after the Golden Raspberry Award.

Before the Golden Raspberry Award. Hugo's career curve started from scratch. Slowly rising. It reached its peak during the period of the "Dead Poets Society". This was followed by a sharp decline. Straight to the bottom; After the Golden Raspberry Award. Hugo's career began from the abyss and climbed upward. It reached a high point during the period of "Schindler's List". And in the end, thanks to the huge success of the two works, it continues to rise.

Precisely because of this intriguing career development curve. So Hugo's experience has also become a typical representative of Hollywood's "American dream". It has become the object of worship of countless teenagers.

Colin started from this mainstream point of view.

If you look closely, you'll find out. After the Golden Raspberry Award. Hugo's career footprints are one step at a time." Schindler's list "is not the highest point. It should be said that "Schindler's list" and "speed of life and death" together constitute the highest point. The former gained fame and fortune. won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for Hugo; The latter achieved brilliance at the box office. set a box office high in Hugo's career as an actor. Meantime. These two works have exceeded the box office of 200 million US dollars. It also won Hugo the reputation of "Mr. 400 million".

In Colin's opinion." The speed of life and death", Hugo's career entered another stage.

"Life and Death" followed "Schindler's List" and the box office exceeded 200 million again. Then the box office of "vulgar" fell back to the level of 100 million. This also makes Hugo from "smelling the fragrance to know the woman". The terrible momentum of five consecutive new works surpassing their predecessors at the box office has come to an end. If you say "vulgar", the box office figure of 170 million 200 dollars is still remarkable. So the whole downward momentum is not noticeable. Then the "before sunrise" that followed completely exposed this situation.

The box office of "Before Sunrise" fell from $172 million to $32 million. It's almost a fatal cliff-jumping fall. Let's put it mildly. Not even a fraction of a penny.

So it goes. Since the "speed of life and death". Hugo's three consecutive new works have been lower at the box office than their predecessors. The downward momentum could not be clearer.

So. Colin's point of view came to the surface." Hugo's career is facing a terrible downward trend. And has inexorably come to a terrible position. ”

When the New York Post published the article. It really caused an uproar. At a time when almost all the media lamented that "before sunrise" had been another success. They actually did the opposite. It is believed that "before sunrise" will be a new turning point in Hugo's career. The downward trend is worrying.

The New York Post's report on this big disapproval of the world is really intriguing. In the eyes of insiders. This report is ridiculous. Because Colin ignores the independent attributes of "vulgar" and "before sunrise". Hugo led two independent films to such a brilliant stage. Not only is it not a sign of a career decline. Rather, it should be a portrayal of continued brilliance - because thanks to these two works. Independent films have made their way into the North American market. This will be a new www.biquge.info that will change the landscape of Hollywood in the next decade.

And because Colin's views have no basis. If everyone simply compares the rise and fall of box office figures. Then it is impossible for an actor's work to always be new and superior to the old. Two hundred million is followed by three hundred million. And what about after 300 million? 400 million, 500 million? It's impossible to do. So it's not convincing to use this reason to explain the "downward momentum."

Insiders know it. What measures the success of a work is the cost-to-box office revenue ratio, the influence of the work, the follow-up peripheral driving force, and so on. It's definitely not a simple and rigid box office number.

But. In the reader's opinion." The New York Post's "distinctive storytelling" stands out from the crowd of "boring and uninspiring" stories. Attracted everyone's attention. What's more. Many readers also found Colin's point very interesting. And it's food for thought. Because Colin listed a lot of strong evidence in the article.

"A 'Before Sunrise; ended Hugo's record: five consecutive works broke 100 million at the North American box office. Six consecutive works have exceeded 100 million at the global box office. Five consecutive productions have won the North American weekend box office. Seven consecutive works have ranked among the top three at the North American box office (Note: Desen's Eagle; Ranked second in the box office list in the opening weekend), and four consecutive works grossed higher than their predecessors.

In the three glorious years that Hugo created Zào. A series of records are recorded before 'sunrise; The body came to an abrupt end.

It's not just the box office. At the same time, in terms of word-of-mouth, Hugo is also in a dilemma.' Before sunrise; Although won the Silver Bear for Best Director in Berlin. But it doesn't really have much to do with Hugo itself. Both as a leading actor and as a screenwriter. Neither Hugo was able to get the corresponding praise. This also means . From 'smell the fragrance to know the woman; Since. Hugo's rapid acting exploration of the road in 'life and death; and'before sunrise; After that, it entered a bottleneck.

What does this mean? It means that Hugo is facing a dilemma. On the one hand, the career is brilliant. On the other hand, he lost himself in the glitz and gloom. It's likely to fall. And 'before sunrise; It's a wake-up call. The Oscar statuette curse didn't develop in the last year. but before sunrise; There are clues on the body.

'Before sunrise; It's like the 'fatal moment'; Warnings in general. Let people see the dilemma behind Hugo's brilliant career. It's a fact. An undeniable fact. ”

Although the New York Post obscures a point of view in its report. Four consecutive works have grossed higher than their predecessors", which was ended long ago when it was "vulgar". But that doesn't detract from the credibility of Colin's report, which is the word. Because this report has been recognized by many readers.

Many people think." The New York Post "hits a fact. From "The Speed of Life and Death" to "Vulgar" to "Before Sunrise". But the momentum of Hugo's selection of works is indeed becoming more and more incomprehensible. It's also reminiscent of that New York Post story before the movie was released. Colin proposed it at the time. Hugo was blinded by the excellent results. has become more and more arrogant. So much so that it lost its bearings." Before sunrise" is likely to be a wake-up call.

Right now. Colin's "predictions" all worked.

That's the difference between an insider and a layman. No insider would believe this report from the New York Post. will even laugh and laugh; But the layman is convinced. A large number of jù plus a factual analysis. Definitely well-founded. Especially those viewers who didn't like the movie "Before Sunrise". I was even more amazed by Colin's views. This is how the media creates public opinion.

And so." The New York Post "is completely on fire. Sales are once again reaching their peaks. Straight up 10 percentage points. It raises the record for the highest sales of zào in eight months set by the newspaper before the release of "Before Sunrise".

And that's not all. And the New York Post has the support of many readers this time. Everyone has expressed concern about the future development of Hugo. Moreover. Several local newspapers have endorsed the New York Post's views. It was reported on a similar point of view. As a result, the "theory of the decline of Hugo's career" actually spread throughout the United States.

This...... It's a laughable situation." Before sunrise "Ming Ming created a miracle. But it became the culprit of the collapse of Hugo's career in the eyes of people. Richard Locklet said he was innocent.

The New York Post has finally raised its eyebrows. In Hugo's year-and-a-half-long confrontation. For the first time in history, it gained the upper hand. It has even won the support of readers. This kept Colin in a good mood for a long time.

At the end of the report." The New York Post "said." Although you can still feel the prosperity of Hugo's business. But the hidden dangers behind it make people have to start worrying. Maybe the next work will be ushered in. Desen's Eagle; Crash. Hugo's hard work and hard work in the past three years have come to naught. Let's start worrying. Was Hugo aware of this kind of crisis? Or rather. Has Hugo learned to be humble again? He needs to regain that good quality

Speak for Hugo's considered tone. Let the "New York Post" win the favor of a large number of readers. At the same time, it also made Rick Rosen feel a heavy pressure on his shoulders. This time." The New York Post "can be described as menacing.
