The summer of 2012 was full of stars, and the most popular attraction was undoubtedly the melee of the 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 gone through the history of the entire North American film market in the past 20 years, and have truly been recorded in the annals of history, witnessing 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 of two works, another wave of seven consecutive works exceeded 100 million at the box office, truly creating a new era of commercial films; then Will - Smith's eight consecutive works have exceeded 100 million at the North American box office, witnessing the transition period from 100 million to 200 million in the average box office in the North American market.

Then there is Johnny Depp's "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, breaking the 20 million club barrier and redefining the history of top actors' salary income; finally, Robert Downey Jr.'s "Iron Man" series, once again writing the actor's personal The new high of the salary has become the box office leader in the second decade of the 21st century.

From 1992 Tom Cruise's "Righteous Sea Heroes" to 2012 Robert Downey Jr.'s "Avengers", these four actors have represented the North American box office for a full twenty years. Evolution of history, succession and transformation, perfect connection, a real representative of history.

Although top stars such as George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, Jim Carrey, and Nicolas Cage also emerged among the baby boomers during this time, the worldwide influence The power is still a little weaker.

Now, the four box office superstars before and after have launched a scuffle, Robert Downey Jr.'s "Avengers" made history, Johnny Depp's "Small Shadow" became cannon fodder; next, Will Smith's "Black Shadow" Man in Clothes 3" and Tom Cruise's "Rock of Ages" are about to debut one after another, and the box office performance has also attracted much attention.

Undoubtedly, this is definitely the most topical and most discussed summer vacation in the millennium!

After the Oscars ceremony, all the hot spots gathered, and they all looked forward to this year's midsummer and summer festivals to detonate the energy of the box office and create a new history of the North American box office; among the bustling discussion topics, a small number of media will In a different way, the topic of the new generation duel was raised.

"Renly Hall vs Chris Hemsworth vs Andrew Garfield", three new-generation actors are also about to make their debut in this star-studded summer season, and then form "Edge of Tomorrow vs. Snow White and The Huntsman vs The Amazing Spider-Man" confrontation.

Not because the three actors have achieved corresponding brilliance and success, and attracted attention; 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 have paid attention. Even if there is no topic, they will Abruptly "fabricated" the topic.

Renly and Andrew are friends, Renly and Chris are enemies, and Andrew and Chris have no relationship; Chris and Andrew belong to Marvel at the same time, and are superheroes at the same time; Renly and Andrew are both the first time to take the lead In a commercial movie, Chris left Marvel for the first time and starred in a commercial work 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 members. Audience market, launched a head-to-head confrontation.

In "Edge of Tomorrow", the cooperation between Renly and Jennifer, plus a vote of young actors, many media even played the title of "Sci-Fi version of 'The Hunger Games'" for publicity.

"Snow White and the Huntsman" is the partner of Chris and Kristen Stewart, plus Charlize Theron, forming an iron triangle, the lineup is equally young. Needless to say, Christine, who left the "Twilight" series, is the center of attention.

"The Amazing Spider-Man" has returned to the university campus. With Andrew and Emma Stone's partner, he hopes to find a more youthful, more campus, and younger style of work.

Similar cast composition, similar audience positioning, similar publicity strategies, and even similar schedule arrangements, coupled with the new generation of actors who belong to the Y generation, exactly corresponds to the duel of the baby boomers, which also makes people unable to start. Consider a more realistic question -

Natalie Portman and Renly Hall have won the Oscars for two years respectively. Generation Y actors have begun to emerge in the academy field, so what about the commercial market?

After the baby boomers, Generation X, represented by Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and others, has never been able to win both awards and box office. The handover and inheritance have been completed, and the overall momentum has declined, causing Hollywood to gradually enter a relative vacuum period.

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.

In 2007, a "Transformers" witnessed the rise of Shia LaBeouf, and then starred in "Indiana Jones 4", countless media can't wait to call him the new generation of Tom Hanks, looking forward to him He was able to carry the banner of Generation Y; but five years later, people were greatly disappointed. Shia's self-imposed exile and self-degeneration gradually made him lose his first-line position, and he was only struggling in the second-line.

Now, "Renly vs. Chris vs. Andrew", three Gen Y actors are emerging at the same time this summer, and at the same time leading the charge, just to complement the baby boomer showdown, which makes people

Involuntarily, I started to get excited. Is the handover ceremony of the commercial market coming?

As a result, the confrontation of the four box office superstars and the confrontation of the three new generations, intertwined with each other, has become the most beautiful landscape of this summer. However, on the whole, compared with the sparks between the four generations of box office superstars, the youth showdown still lacks influence and appeal, and the market feedback is far less than the former——

This just proves that the current North American market is still dominated by baby boomers, not even Gen X.

It is against this background that the so-called Renly's remarks and the so-called Chris's remarks appeared on the Internet one after another and began to ferment rapidly. Although tmz both clarified the falsehood of the two rumors, they were awakened again. People's memories of "borrowing the door" last year.

After the box-office showdown between "Fast and the Furious" and "Thor", the two actors' career trajectories have taken on two different styles.

Chris starred in the low-budget horror film "The Cabin in the Woods," before taking on "Snow White and the Huntsman" and "The Avengers," and now on his credits, "Thor 2" and "Interstellar" Trek: Darkness is on the agenda.

Although the box office of "Thor" was not satisfactory, this handsome guy from Australia still entered the attention of everyone. In addition to the fixed development trajectory of Marvel and the "Star Trek", he gradually opened up his own market. , the film contract gradually stabilized. But the box office results of "The Cabin in the Woods" and "Snow White and the Huntsman" will also determine Chris's future development.

Renly is different. The previously filmed "Crazy Love" and "Anti-Cancer Me" appeared successively; and completed the filming of "Transcendence" and "Edge of Tomorrow"; Arrived in the West End of London, and participated in the performance of "Les Miserables"; there is currently no confirmed performance plan for any work - "Gravity" is still under negotiation.

Clearly, the 22-year-old British actor is making his way into the Hollywood ranks with unstoppable momentum, with a steady stream of film appointments. However, now that Renly's reputation and popularity have reached the top line, and even the salary can also be on the top line, but he still lacks more proof in terms of box office, this time "Edge of Tomorrow" will become the touchstone.

The perpetrators are not punished, and the victims are not lost. This is not a happy happy ending, but a reality in Hollywood, so this time, Chris and Renly faced off again, new hatred and old hatred flooded into my heart, whether Chris regained the advantage, or Lanly Eli to continue to pressure?

Gradually, the topic of discussion began to heat up.

However, just like the scandal between Renly and Jennifer, the grievances between Renly and Chris can already be regarded as "old things". In the past year, the two have struggled in different fields. , there is almost no intersection, and no one mentions it, and now it is suddenly mentioned, and fried rice is inevitable.

The surprise was that Andrew joined.

After Renly and Chris were "heard", Andrew also "published" a similar remark, "Personally, Renly, of course Renly. Yes, I'm going to the West End to see his In 'Les Miserables', I have no interest in 'Snow White and the Huntsman'."

This time, netizens didn't even discuss it anymore, just giggled and waited. Sure enough, within four hours, tmz clarified the news again, "Andrew has never made any relevant remarks, 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 then she discovered the possibility of news hype, so she began to increase the exposure of idols. trail of.

This time, Chris couldn't pretend to ignore it anymore, and was forced to express his views, "I respect every actor and every work, I believe that everyone hopes to produce excellent works, presenting On the big screen, let the audience enjoy the joy of the movie. As for this summer, I think my promotion schedule will be very busy, as for whether I have time to go to the cinema, it depends on the promotion schedule of the film company. "

Official, courteous, 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.
