When it comes to Hollywood's "king of bad movies", your first reaction is absolutely: Nicolas Cage!
Some people may ask: how is it possible, but he once held the "Oscar for Best Actor" award.
Indeed, since his debut from the beginning, Nicolas Cage has held a hand of king blowing up good cards, basically shooting what is hot, and the movie box office is definitely a big hit.
But unfortunately, in 2009, his life and reputation took a turning point.
Because of bankruptcy and debt, he made one bad film after another, and the film remuneration has been falling from the previous 20 million US dollars, and then the 1 million US dollars salary can also take him down.
Most actors, the salary is rising, but why can Nicolas Cage "fall" to the salary of an N-line star.
What the hell happened to him? This time we'll talk about Nicolas Cage.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55" >, born in an acting family, Cage took a hand of wang fried good cards</h1>
Nicolas Cage's story takes place in the United States, where cage was born into a middle-class california in 1964.
Most of other people's life scripts are from slums, but Cage is different, and it can be said that he is born with a hand of "king fried good cards".
His father was a professor of literature and his mother was a dancer.
What's even more surprising is that Cage's family, Coppola, is an acting family.
For example, his uncle is Francis Coppola, and many people may be unfamiliar with this name, but when it comes to the movie "The Godfather", most people shout out: I have seen this movie.
That's right, the film's director is Francis Coppola.
With this film, Francis Coppola is a small gold man with 6 Oscars.
Not only uncle Niu, but even cousin Sophia Coppola is also very powerful, played a role in "Godfather 3" when she was a child, and when she grew up, she continued her father's mantle and became a director, and the movie "Lost in Tokyo" is her masterpiece, and it also won her an Oscar.
Since he was born in an acting family, Cage has been very interested in acting since he was a child.
When Cage was young, he attended Beverly Hills High School, a very famous celebrity circle in California, so he met many big names in the show business circle. Of course, his own appearance is also very handsome, which also laid the foundation for him to enter the show business circle later.
At the age of 17, Cage officially entered the show business.
However, when he was young, Cage's heart was also very big, in order to avoid everyone thinking that he was relying on his uncle's fame, so he changed his name to Nicolas Cage.
Without the aura of the family, Cage could only play some small roles at the beginning, such as running the dragon set in movies such as "Open American Academy".
Although he did not want to become famous by the family, his uncle still knew about running the dragon set outside, and his uncle did not want to watch his nephew play some small roles every day, so he helped him.
It just so happened that the movie "Fighting Fish" that his uncle was directing at that time arranged a role for him, so that Cage and Matt Dillon played against each other.
So slowly, Cage became famous.
The movie that really made Cage star was "Birdman", in which he played a "veteran" who helped his friend come out of the shadow of war.
This role was a huge challenge for Cage, who had just turned 20 at the time, after all, he had not experienced war, so in order to be able to play the pain of veterans, Cage was also desperate, pulling out 2 teeth without anesthesia, and also desperately lost 10 pounds, just to be able to play the essence of this role.
Sure enough, Cage's efforts paid off, and with his wonderful performance in the movie "Birdman", Cage became a big hit actor in Hollywood at that time.
In 1989, cage was filming the movie "Vampire's Kiss", in order to make the effect more realistic, he even ate a cockroach raw.
Of course, such a dedicated spirit has made Cage's reputation better and better, and there are more and more dramas.
However, the movie that really made Cage famous was "Leaving Las Vegas". At that time, the director of the film approached Cage, but because of the lack of budget, he could only give Cage a tenth of his usual salary.
The director did not have the confidence to let Cage play, but unexpectedly, Cage found it challenging after reading the script and took over the role.
In this film, Cage plays a frustrated screenwriter who wants to commit suicide but is afraid of his own pain before death.
So, he went all the way to Las Vegas, planning to commit suicide by drinking.
This role also makes Cage suffer a lot, why? Because Cage does not drink, but in the movie, cage plays a male protagonist who is an alcoholic.
In order to better interpret this role, Cage drank real wine in the movie, just to be able to play the feeling of an alcoholic.
Unexpectedly, with his performance in this movie, Cage actually won the first Academy Award for Best Actor in his life.
That year, the pursuit of the Oscar for best actor in the film can be described as very intense, everyone is optimistic about Mel Gibson, that is, the male lead of the "Braveheart" drama, but Cage won the Oscar for best actor, which can be described as unlimited scenery.
After having the Oscar for actor XiaoJinren, Cage can be described as a fragrant bounty in the show business circle.
He has also made many well-received blockbusters, such as "Change of Face", "Prison in the Air", "Brave To Kill Island" and so on.
After that, Cage challenged the difficult movie "Adapted Screenplay", in which the superb acting skills of one person playing two roles once again made Cage nominated for an Oscar, and Cage also became a "brother of Hollywood".
Of course, Cage is not only famous, but also high in value, with the salary of these years of drama, etc., the value has soared to 150 million US dollars, about 1 billion yuan, which can be described as a real superstar.
With a net worth of 1 billion, it is reasonable to say that if you don't spend money indiscriminately, the rest of your life is basically a script of "lying and winning".
So why, after that, Cage became the "king of bad films", and why? Will you lose all your money?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="99" > second, not only will make money, but also spend money like water</h1>
Although he made more money, Cage couldn't resist spending money.
How much does it cost? Luxury houses say buy to buy, luxury cars say to buy, luxury yachts, private jets are not to mention.
Do you think that's all? No, there are more money-burning and not much use.
For example, it cost 270,000 US dollars, that is, about 2 million yuan to buy fossils. But in the end, it was found that these were smuggled goods, and there was no way but to "endure the pain" and return them to the government.
Another example is buying two albino cobras, but being reported by a neighbor and can only be given to the zoo.
Of course, there are more than that, such as sharks, crocodiles and a series of other animals.
Although the agent strongly discouraged Cage, don't spend money indiscriminately, otherwise you will not be able to eat.
But Cage, who was keen to buy and buy, did not listen to persuasion at all, and bought more than a dozen mansions.
Sure enough, as everyone expected, in 2009, Cage's 1 billion property had basically been squandered.
Although he later wanted to sell his "beloved" collectibles, but in the eyes of others, it was not valuable, could not sell at all, no way, in order to pay off the debt, Cage began to take bad films.
It is also this move that has made him from a "box office elixir" to a "king of bad films".
Basically, as long as he can give money, Cage doesn't even read the script, and he goes straight to the next.
After the word of mouth collapsed, the good director was also very afraid to cooperate with him, so Cage dropped from the original ten million film remuneration to a million film remuneration. For a Hollywood film emperor-level actor, it can be described as a "shame".
But Cage couldn't help it, he still had a lot of debt to pay.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="121" > third, feelings, marriage is a mess</h1>
Not only was his career a mess, emotionally, Cage had been married 5 times.
As he grew older, Cage now had more mature charm.
Cage's fifth wife is a 26-year-old Japanese girl, Rishiba Shibata.
You know, when the news of the marriage of the two people in February this year came out, it caused an uproar on the Internet.
Although the age difference between the two is very large, well, not very big, very big.
You know, Cage's oldest children are 31 years old.
His new wife, on the other hand, is five years younger than his own children.
Isn't it a little irritating to think that this kind of plot, which only appears in idol dramas, actually happens to your idols?
However, although the age difference between the two is very large, we can see from the scene that the behavior between the two is very close.
Seeing the marriage of the idol this time, I don't know if everyone remembers the experience of the last "flash marriage"?
Moreover, Cage seems to have a special love for Asians, and his vision has always been a unique friend, and the age difference is generally very large.
His first two marriages, we have nothing to say.
So we start with the third time, after all, this is the origin point where he opened the path of psychedelic Asian aesthetics.
Maybe it's because there have been two emotional failures, or maybe it's because the third wife does have something fascinating about it.
In short, the third marriage was the longest of Cage's first four marriages, and simply put, the longest lasting.
His third wife, Kim Young-kyung (Alice Kim), from South Korea, has a nearly 20-year-old age difference between the two.
In 2004, the two met in a restaurant by chance, fell deeply in love, and soon entered the palace of marriage.
The marriage lasted for 12 years, and the two had their own love crystals, but this did not prevent Cage's decision to choose divorce.
Why he decided to end the 12-year marriage is unknown.
But then a very "ridiculous" thing happened.
His fourth wife was a makeup artist from Japan, and it didn't take long for the two to know each other before the sensational "flash marriage" incident occurred. And many netizens simply did not understand why the two of them came together.
But just when netizens were still thinking about the reasons, the two divorced. The marriage, which lasted only four days, became the most "ridiculous" thing in Cage's emotional history.
Then there was his fifth wife, Riko Shibata, whom we mentioned earlier. Same Asian, same young.
However, his wife is not as good as the top four in the eyes of many netizens. Especially in terms of looks, it is believed that the girl's facial features are not coordinated, of which "Dan Phoenix Eyes" and prominent lips are the most obvious.
In terms of appearance, there is a big gap compared with the previous ones, but this happens to be Cage's unique aesthetic characteristics.
Probably in the eyes of most people, Shibata's appearance is not outstanding.
But in fact, Shibata Riko is very much in line with the image of Asian beauty in the eyes of Westerners. Because in the cognition of Westerners, Dan Phoenix Eye is the representative of the classic beauty of Asia.
However, Cage, with the dual identity of oscar film emperor and famous director, coupled with his rich emotional experience, he will never lack girls around him.
It may be for this reason that each of his relationships cannot come to an end.
However, we can see from his last three wives that he does have a unique love for Asian women, although sometimes serious, sometimes sloppy marriage attitude, people can't figure it out.
But at the age of 57, he continues to pursue the love he wants, and this courage is indeed worthy of admiration.
Many netizens have said that they hope not to hear again about Cage's sixth marriage.
After all, this age is not small, and it is time to "converge".
First of all, you need a stable marriage, and then you need to get rid of the label of "Hollywood loser and two heroes", after all, these two points really affect the image of idols.
