It is said that the father's love is like a mountain, regardless of race, regardless of country, and regardless of occupation.
But sometimes, excessive "fatherly love" does not necessarily bring good things for children.
It will even cause trouble for the father.
For example, today we are talking about Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith.
Will Smith is also a well-known black film star in China, after all, he has starred in many classic movies, such as "Independence Day" and "Men in Black".
In addition, he also has a nickname called "Shi Huang".
Some children's shoes that may not understand will wonder, this black actor, why is he called "emperor"?
Needless to say, just mention one thing.
From 2002's Men in Black 2 to 2008's All-Out Superman Hancock, he has made eight consecutive films that grossed more than $100 million in North America.
Doesn't it seem like that? How hard is it to break through the 100 million at the box office?
Not to mention, it's really hard in North America.
Xiao Lizi, Brother Tang, these absolute first-line movie stars in Hollywood, can't do this seemingly simple "8 consecutive starring movies box office breaking 100 million".
Even the new brother in recent years, known as the box office medicine of Dwayne Johnson, still can't do this "simple" thing.
It is quite popular, the commercial value is stable, and there are representative works, so Shi Huang's name is well deserved, and he has long become a first-line star in Hollywood.
Although shi huang in front of the screen is not calling the wind and rain, he has also achieved extraordinary things, and he also has an advantage behind the screen.
It hurts my son.
Unfortunately, this advantage in the next thing, people do not feel where the "excellent" is.
Before 2008, Shi Huang would have a movie released almost every year, but after that, it was temporarily discontinued.
What did he do?
It turned out that shi huang at that time was contacting friends in the heavenly dynasty, hoping to launch a movie with his son Jaden Smith as the protagonist.
In the end, Jackie Chan was hired by virtue of his connections, and he became a producer, and this movie "Kung Fu Dream" is actually a remake of 1984's "Kung Fu Kid".
Jaden was less than 12 years old at the time.
As a result, this movie box office is acceptable, but the response is mediocre, to be honest, if it is not borrowed jackie Chan's name, it is estimated to be very miserable.
In fact, this was not the first time that Shi Huang had praised his son.
As early as in "Men in Black 2", he had a cameo appearance for Jaden, who was 4 years old at the time.
Later, in the classic movie "When Happiness Knocks", he played the father and son of the film with Jaden in the classic movie "When Happiness Comes Knocking".
Jaden also won the MTV Popcorn Trophy.
But how to say it, "When Happiness Knocks" is a very good movie, but the film is brilliant in the script, as well as Shi Huang's own performance.
Jaden's role in it is actually very limited.
Later, Shi Huang asked Jaden to participate in Keanu Reeves's "The Day the Earth Stopped", and the movie pounced on the street, and it was very fierce.
It is also because of this that Shi Huang temporarily stopped filming after 2008's "Seven Pounds", in fact, the purpose is to pave the way for his son.
However, it seems that even the international kung fu superstar cannot take his son with him.
After that, Shi Huang saw that others could not move, so I could always bring it myself, right? After all, didn't "When Happiness Comes Knocking" also drive it?
However, it turned out that Shi Huang was a bit taken for granted.
He took Jaden's 2013 starring role in "Return to Earth", which can be said to be a rotten sky, and the box office reputation is a mess.
And Shi Huang, who was once named "Hollywood's most powerful actor" by Newsweek in 2007, because this film actually won the favor of the bad film Jin Sourmei, becoming the worst supporting actor in the history of film, his son also successfully won the worst male lead, and the father and son were known as the worst combination on the screen, which became a big joke in the industry.
However, Shi Huang loved his son too much, and even if he turned a big heel, he still wanted to praise him.
In 2015-2016, Shi Huang starred in the DC movie "X Task Force", and Shi Huang proposed a condition when he participated, so that his son could star in a series in the future.
As a result, DC's "Electrostatic Man" was put on the agenda.
In fact, Shi Huang's operation of holding his son is really a bit of a seedling.
At a young age, Jaden went to make a movie without any systematic acting training, what was the result?
embarrassed.
More than that, especially Jaden always likes to make a bitter face and make an expression like someone else owes him 5 million.
Of course, Shi Huang is getting older, and in his opinion, he may feel that he has to take advantage of the fact that he still has some resources in Hollywood to pave the way for his son.
After all, capital is very realistic, and when he really can't act, he will go cold.
But I have to say that this practice is still a little rough, and the effect is obviously very bad, and it has also made its reputation in the industry poor.
Compared with his son, in fact, most viewers still hope that Shi Huang can take care of himself more, shoot more good films, and stop "running" around for his son.
