Standing on the node at the end of the year, 2012 is undoubtedly a year for Renly. No one can deny this.

First on the album's North American year-end sales charts, with "Don Quixote" at No. 3, and then on the North American singles' year-end sales charts, Renly was once again a player to be reckoned with.

This year, four singles have sold more than six million in North America.

Gotier's "Somebody-That-I-Used-To-Know" topped year-end sales; Carly-Rae Gibson's "Call-Me-Maybe" )” was the runner-up of the year with a slight disadvantage.

At number three is "Cleopatra" from Renly, a record-setting single, one of the funniest of all, that never reached number one on the Billboard , the best-selling piece, in the style of folk songs, it wrote its own miracle in a slanted way.

Finally, the fun band's "We-Are-Young" became another dark horse of the year, joining the ranks of 6 million sales, ranking fourth in the year.

Except for "Electric Me" which is a pop genre, the other three songs are all very weird in genre, "The Most Familiar Stranger" and "In the Mood for Love" are all alternative rock, while "Cleopatra" "It's folk songs. These are all genres that have been gradually eliminated by the market, but in 2012 they exploded with unimaginable energy, which has also become an important revelation in the music market.

Compared with the downturn of the album market, the singles market is booming, especially after the strong rise of digital audio sources, the sales figures have begun to rise steadily. In 2012, there are still seven singles with sales exceeding 4 million. .

Includes Rihanna's "We-Found-Love", LMFAO's "Sexy-And-I-Know-It" and "Party-Rothem".

Also included are "Some-Nights" by Fun, "Pumped-Up-Kicks" by Foster, "Starships" by Nikki Minaj, and Blue "Another light" of the ceremony.

Before and after, a total of eleven singles sold more than 4 million in the year, which was a remarkable achievement.

Among them, LMFAO's dance music, fun band's indie rock, and Renly's folk songs each occupy two seats, which has also become an important theme in the music market this year.

It is worth mentioning that, in the top 50 of the North American single year-end sales chart, Renly alone occupied five seats, namely "Cleopatra", "Another Light", "The Beast," "Believe," and "Your Bones," four of the singles from the Don Quixote album.

With such a performance, he easily laughs out of the crowd, surpassing all other singers and becoming the biggest winner of the singles list.

In addition, "Say You Won't Give Up" and "Ophelia" also made the top 100, ranking 51st and 88th respectively.

The album "Don Quixote" is reminiscent of last year's "21", the influence of these two albums permeates all levels of society in all aspects, and brings a series of continuous aftertastes; and , Compared with "21", "Don Quixote", which is a folk music style, is obviously more important for the enlightenment of the market.

After that, unpopular music genres such as folk, indie rock, and jazz have all received more attention, and the North American music market has regained new vitality step by step, which is undoubtedly a good thing for artistic creation.

By the way, George Slender is hot again, reappearing in the rivers and lakes, with a second spring.

However, this time, George is more critical and more focused. He is not trying to create another money-making machine, or another Renly-Hall, but to work with Eleven Studio to create more excellent I hope to unearth more treasures among independent musicians.

The rise of the music market is a big sight, but it pales in comparison to the sweep of the movie market. After all, Renly is still an actor.

There is no need to say much about Renly's great achievements at the awards ceremony, but after last year, Renly appeared on the year-end box office statistics for the second year in a row.

Last year, "Fast and Furious 5" ranked third in the North American year-end box office rankings and fourth in the global year-end box office rankings. This is the first time for Renly to debut, and it has initially proved its commercial value. However, it is a supporting role.

This year, "Edge of Tomorrow", as the first official commercial film starring Renly himself, has further achieved brilliance.

On top of the North American year-end box office rankings, "The Avengers" won the championship with a record 623 million, which once again made people see the new potential of the North American film market. James Cameron's two works In addition, now has another box office giant.

Afterwards, the runner-up was the "Edge of Tomorrow" that took $550 million at the box office!

Even compared to the "Avengers", "Edge of Tomorrow" is no less powerful. From the perspective of the ratio of investment cost and income return, "Edge of Tomorrow" undoubtedly has the upper hand.

Not only because of the investment of "Avengers" as high as 220 million, not to mention the generous publicity expenses; but also because before the release of this film, "Iron Man", "Captain America", "Thor", etc. The foreshadowing of the series of works is an important step in the box office explosion. And "Edge of Tomorrow" is a bare commander.

Once again, Renly has proven its commercial value and has become a strong candidate for a new generation of box office winners. Look at Warner Bros.'s attitude to "gravity" and you can get a glimpse of Hollywood's attitude. .

The two monsters "The Avengers" and "Edge of Tomorrow" have shown great strength in the box office market. In addition to this, "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Hunger Games" also both topped four at the North American box office. 100 million, ranking third and fourth in the year-end list, which is an additional surprise.

The year-end box office of four full works exceeded 400 million, which is undoubtedly a new height in the North American market. And among them, two are manga adaptations, one is a youth adaptation, and the other is a science fiction adaptation—the common denominator is that none of them are original!

Like the impact of "Don Quixote" on the music market, the structure of the North American film market has also begun to undergo earth-shaking changes.

By the way, in this year's year-end box office rankings, the best original work was Pixar's animated "Brave", which earned $237 million in North America, ranking ninth at the end of the year.

On the one hand, original stories really still depend on Pixar; on the other hand, the ability of original works to attract money is far inferior to that of adapted works, and now that the entire market has entered the era of fast food, creativity has begun to dry up, which also directly led to the subsequent A series of changes:

For example, Disney began to make all of its classic animations live-action; for example, movies adapted from teenage novels are springing up like mushrooms after a spring rain; for example, the sequels of previous classic movies have been restarted one after another, such as the "Alien" series, "Alien" Indiana Jones" series, "Star Wars" series.

It can be seen that it is not without reason why people call 2012 the turning year of the new century. And in this, Renly also played an important role, invisibly leaving his own footprint on the annals of history.

The remaining six seats in the top ten of the North American year-end box office rankings belong to "007: Skyfall", "The Hobbit", "Twilight: Breaking Dawn (Part 2)", "The Amazing Spider-Man", " Brave", "Teddy Bear".

Among them, "Teddy Bear" has become the dark horse of the annual box office. With the genre of low/vulgar comedy, it has swept the box office of 200 million US dollars, even surpassing the "Hangover" of that year. Producer Seth-MacFarlane (Seth-Mae) became popular overnight and became the host of this year's Oscars.

And the most disappointing is undoubtedly "The Hobbit" and "The Amazing Spider-Man", both of which were highly anticipated and fell far short of expectations. The former's North American box office of 300 million is good, but the word of mouth is a mess; the latter's box office and word of mouth are far below expectations, and Sony Pictures has begun to get nervous.

In addition, "The Rise of the Dark Knight" unfortunately suffered a shooting incident in the theater, which seriously affected the subsequent box office development. It failed to create a historical record. This is an uncontrollable factor, which is embarrassing. In the end, the word-of-mouth and box office of the movie were not good. Being able to surpass the previous work is also one of the annual events.

As for the global year-end box office rankings, it presents a similar but different pattern.

On the whole, the changes in the world film market are still relatively slow. Hollywood's commercial blockbusters can still easily harvest the box office. The industrial changes in Hollywood often take two to three years to reflect on other markets in the world.

This year, "The Avengers" undoubtedly topped the global year-end championship with a total box office of 1.5 billion US dollars; and "Edge of Tomorrow" also narrowly beat the subsequent competitors with a global box office data of 1.18 billion US dollars. After North America, it also won the global year-end runner-up.

"007: The Great War Sky Crisis", with its 50th anniversary, swept US$1.1 billion worldwide, behind "Edge of Tomorrow" by a limited gap, occupying the fourth place.

Subsequently, "The Dark Knight Rises", "The Hobbit", "Ice Age 4", "Twilight: Breaking Dawn (Part 2)", "The Amazing Spider-Man", "Madagascar 3", "The Hunger Games" occupy the The remaining seats in the top ten at the end of the year.

Compared with the North American list, "Brave" and "Teddy Bear" are out, and "The Hunger Games" has dropped significantly in the ranking. These are works with obvious American labels, and the decline in overseas box office performance is also normal; The sequels of the two cartoons "Ice Age 4" and "Madagascar 3" successfully reached the top ten at the end of the year, which once again proved that the sequel effect is still applicable to commercial films.

If you browse the year-end box office list, you can find that "Edge of Tomorrow" has become the biggest surprise of the year. Under the circumstance that it is not optimistic, the global box office data swept over 1.1 billion, which is really too brilliant.

From music to movies, this year's Renly has indeed created a miracle, but what really caught people's attention was not these sales data and box office data, but the social influence of Renly!
