Pulp Fiction is the best screenplay I've ever seen, but I really don't know if I'm going to ruin it!
—John Travolta
February 18, 1994, was the 40th birthday of Hollywood actor John Travolta.
However, he was staying in the crew of "The White Godfather" at the time, but he had no joy.
John, who had just finished filming a film called "Pulp Fiction", was extremely anxious in his heart, not knowing whether his transformation was a blessing or a curse.
Prior to Pulp Fiction, John had been on the big screen in Hollywood as a comedian.
In 1983, John was successfully nominated for "Worst Actor" by Jin Sourmei for "Dragon Flying Phoenix Dance"
When people reach the age of confusion, they begin to explore a new way of acting, which is really a dangerous move for John.
However, the opportunity for all this has to start from the "little leper" Quentin who just finished filming "Falling Water Dog".
In 1993, Quentin Tarantino began the creation of Pulp Fiction.
During the casting phase, Quentin decided to cast John Travolta as the character of "Vincent Vega".
Quentin, who is nine years younger than John, has been a John fan since he was a child
In the eighties when John's bad films were like clouds, Quentin never gave up and made a true love powder.
Before the filming of Pulp Fiction, John had no place in Hollywood, but Quentin still had great respect for his former idol.
The first time I called John's agent, I was still a bit incoherent.
However, Quentin's decision was unanimously opposed by the production executives.
They thought john was a comedian. But looking at Quentin's love affair, producer Danny DeVito still made an appointment with John.
During the talks, John made harsh remarks
I will not beg you, but if I lose, you will not win!
De Vito later recalls
At that moment, it was as if I was talking to Vincent
And John, who spoke wildly, almost scared out of his stomach cramps.
This explosive shape completely makes John's play path change from a comedy star to a screen bully
"Pulp Fiction" was filmed in only two months, but the producers did not dare to use it to rush the Olympics.
Therefore, after receiving the invitation to the Cannes Film Festival, "Pulp Fiction" was officially hidden in the snow, waiting for the next May to see the light of day.
In May 1994, John and Quentin appeared in Cannes
What they didn't expect was that Pulp Fiction would win a Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
For a time, John also became the darling of the media, and was surrounded by reporters at the media conference.
In recalling that moment, John said only one word
I haven't tasted praise in more than twenty years since Weekend Night Fever
The $8 million "Pulp Fiction" grossed $100 million on 1,300 screens in the United States.
After this film, major film companies came to the door and offered John a tempting price tag.
John also began to re-plan the direction of his career, successfully transforming into a tough man on the screen.
John's gun-holding posture made Wu Yusen's eyes light up when he had just broken into Hollywood
John, who became famous very early and experienced setbacks and ups and downs, already understands the meaning of success.
When a person has everything, it is often the time when he is about to lose everything, especially when he is not awake.
As a result, he no longer took the role casually as in his early years, but began to study the script carefully.
I have to say that a "pulp novel" has made Quentin, and it has also made a classic man in film history - John Travolta.
