The film and television superstar finally went bankrupt.
Rarely see such a person -
He is an Oscar winner, but he loves to act in bad movies;
He has a deep affection for his lover, but has been married five times;
He was rich enough to rival the country, but he squandered to bankruptcy...
The contrast is enormous.
Leave no room for doing things.
He was Nicholas Cage.
Maybe you're unfamiliar with that name.
But maybe you've seen him on CCTV-6.
In the 1990s, he was one of the most popular male stars.
That's when I walked into a video store.
Movies with Cage on the cover can be chosen with your eyes closed, and you can't go wrong.
That face is the guarantee of a good film.
In 1996, Cage won the Academy Award for Best Actor.
That Oscar was extremely intense.
He even beat Braveheart and Mel Gibson.
Subsequently, Cage swept through Hollywood with the power of destruction and decay.
Every blockbuster film made has exploded at the box office.
The film is also wonderful enough, and there are still many people who revisit it repeatedly.
He's the drunk in "Leaving Las Vegas."
A chemistry expert on Daredevil Island.
Soldiers and criminals in Prison in the Air.
The terrorists of "Face Change".
The gentle angel in City of Angels.
Charming temperament.
Great shape.
A pair of eyes melancholy and deep.
He became the screen lover in the hearts of movie fans.
But all the glory came to an abrupt end in 2009.
After 2009, Cage fell violently from the top of the roller coaster.
He became the king of bad films.
Successive plays are more than water.
The film remuneration has also dropped again and again.
From $20 million to two or three million dollars, or even $1 million.
A great deck of cards is broken.
What has happened to him all these years?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="86">
As an actor, Cage has absolute strength.
He was born with a good skin bag.
Since childhood, I have fascinated the women around me.
He is old-fashioned.
Young and handsome.
Entering middle age is the charismatic uncle.
Cage was born into an artistic family.
The uncle was the famous Francis Coppola.
Director of the film The Godfather.
Holding 6 Oscars in hand.
Her mother was a dancer, her father was a professor of literature, her aunt was an actress, and her cousin was a director.
Cage grew up in an artistic atmosphere.
At the age of 17, he decided he wanted to become an actor.
The first thing to do is to change the name.
At that time, my uncle was already famous in the film and television circle.
Cage didn't want to be ridiculed for "staining uncle's light."
He changed his family name to Coppola to Cage.
Since then, Nicolas Cage has begun to grope in the film world.
Cage filmed hard enough.
When he was filming Birdman, he actually pulled out two of his teeth.
No anesthesia.
Later, I was also infected.
During the five weeks of filming, he was bandaged inside and outside the scene.
Rest when alone in the corner.
Immerse yourself in the emotions.
At one point, the staff thought he was too deep into the play and was really crazy.
In "Vampire's Kiss," he swallowed a cockroach alive.
It was what he was most afraid of.
After the shooting, he was so sick that he couldn't eat for several days.
What made him hold the Oscar was "Leaving Las Vegas".
In the film he is an alcoholic.
In order to act more realistically, Cage repeatedly drunk himself.
Then record it and ponder the drunken gesture.
He became the drunken downcast man in the script.
The expression is empty.
The pace is staggering.
Gulp down the liquor like a dried fish drinking water.
Even next to his girlfriend, he did.
The eyes are decadent, fragile and desperate.
There is beauty, talent, family resources, and willingness to fight.
Such a Cage is simply invincible.
But overnight, he fell from the top.
In 2009, Cage was sued for tax arrears.
Nicholas Cage received a $6.2 million tax bill
When the court stepped in, people were surprised to find that —
His finances lit up with red lights.
Not even the taxes owed.
At first no one believed it.
How is this possible?
You know, Cage is one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood.
In 2009, he made $40 million.
Combined with his previous income, he is a billionaire with a net worth of up to $150 million (about 1 billion yuan).
Where did all this money go?
Just when people were wondering, Cage's agent came out and revealed the answer.
It turned out that he was a complete "loser".
1 billion worth, all bought by him to buy and buy.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="208">
What did Cage buy?
For example, the castle in Bavaria, Germany.
Famous haunted house Lalaurie Mansion.
He also boasted about it:
"I'm also a ghost property owner!"
Two deserted islands in the Bahamas.
Limited edition luxury cars of all kinds.
According to incomplete statistics, he has purchased 15 castle mansions, more than 50 luxury cars, more than 30 motorcycles, 2 small islands, 4 luxury yachts, 1 private plane...
Buying a property or a car is a normal hobby.
But Cage's collection is clearly not content with that.
Despite his dissuasion, he bought a bunch of inexplicable gadgets.
For example, the fossil bone of the tyrannosaur dragon.
At the auction site, Xiao Lizi was also interested.
They keep bidding.
In the end, Cage spent $270,000 to buy it home.
As a result, a few years later, everyone found out that this was a smuggled item.
Cage can only return to the government without compensation.
He bought two albinos at a high price.
The neighbor found out and reported it.
He was forced to give them to the zoo again.
Cage seems to be keen on hunting exotic animals.
He also bought crocodiles, saltwater sharks, and a $150,000 octopus.
This octopus is said to dance.
Cage also took into account what was behind him.
He bought himself a pyramid tomb.
Cage's shopping list is getting longer and longer.
It's a lot of expensive and non-preserving things.
The agent advised him to hang out.
"You spend more than you earn."
He doesn't listen.
The backhand bought another 15 homes.
Everyone thought he was crazy.
By 2009, his property had been squandered.
He had nothing.
Except for the debt.
Then he finally remembered to make up for it.
He was busy auctioning off his properties, luxury cars, and collections.
Unfortunately, these "babes" are either unintended or sold at low prices.
The agent said cage paid with pleasure and didn't think about investing or preserving value at all.
Collections are difficult to monetize.
The other side has debts to repay.
What to do?
Cage made a decision.
It was this decision that almost ruined his career as an actor.
He began to take on the scene like crazy.
Don't look at the director, don't read the script, don't refuse.
It didn't take long for Cage to be dragged down by the bad movie.
His value plummeted.
From box office elixir to box office poison.
Reliable directors never dared to work with him again.
He could only receive low-quality scripts.
After such a vicious circle, Cage was deeply branded with the label of "King of Bad Films".
For more than a decade, he has not grown at all.
Even 9 times nominated for the Golden Plum Award (the world's worst film award).
Every time a new film is released, fans are extremely disappointed.
The difficulty of seeing made me feel that his previous masterpieces were accidents.
In the future, all the films he starred in, don't watch.
What kind of garbage is filmed, don't you read the script?
Many fans are waiting for the return of the movie emperor.
But Cage is still mired in the mud.
Get the lowest pay.
Shoot the worst scenes.
I don't know if he ever regretted it and hastily smashed his signboard.
But he couldn't go back.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="352">
Cage's marriage is also ups and downs.
He was married five times.
The longest marriage is 12 years, and the shortest is only 4 days.
His habit of choosing a partner is similar to that of choosing a film.
Not picky.
From Americans to Asians;
From popular singers to waiters;
From sweet virtuous winds to dark cool girls.
In 1995, he married actor Patricia Aquet.
In order to chase Aquit, Cage Howe threw thousands of dollars.
He took the list and frantically bought a bunch of luxury goods for her.
The marriage lasted 6 years.
Later Arquette said: "He will only use money to please women." ”
Cage's second wife was Lisa Marie.
She is the daughter of Elvis Presley.
Michael Jackson's ex-wife.
Mary is a popular singer with a warm and uninhibited personality.
They hit it off.
But feelings that are too hot are always difficult to last.
Four months after marriage, the two divorced.
Since then, Cage's preferences seem to have changed.
The next three wives are all Asian girls.
In 2004, Cage married Alice King.
Alice is a Korean waiter.
Typical Gu Jiaxian wife.
It was Cage's longest marriage.
Exactly 12 years.
They also had a son.
Shortly after the divorce, Cage married for the fourth time.
The other party is a Japanese makeup artist.
On the wedding day, Cage was drunk.
Walking is shaky.
He also had arguments with his girlfriend from time to time.
The scene of the day
The certificate is received.
But just four days later, Cage filed for divorce.
He claimed that he had been deceived.
The fourth marriage ended like a farce.
Earlier this year, Cage ushered in his fifth marriage.
His wife, Riko Shibata, is an unknown artist of Japanese descent.
Mediocre look.
30 years younger than Cage.
A lot of people say she doesn't deserve Cage.
More people are not optimistic about the father-daughter relationship.
But Cage, as always, loved violently.
She loves black the most.
Cage prepared a black diamond ring and a black Japanese wedding dress for her.
The wedding hall was played with her favorite song, Kiroro's "Winter Song."
They look no different from ordinary little couples on a daily basis.
Ride side by side in a horse-drawn carriage in the park.
Shop for plush toys.
Always with ten fingers interlocked when playing.
Maybe they can only accompany each other.
But Cage is always alive in the moment and doesn't care.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="470">
Cage is a model in the show business world.
If you can't pick up a large piece, you will make a small profit and sell it.
Douban movie search.
Good guy, acted in 152 works.
But less than 30% of them score more than 7 points.
Under almost every movie, someone asks:
Have you paid off your debts?
Can you take the role well?
Unexpectedly, the debt was not paid off, and everyone waited for the bad news first.
At the end of last month, Cage officially filed for bankruptcy.
And it exposed the scandal.
He was photographed getting drunk at a bar.
In the video, he has a beard and is emaciated.
The shoe was kicked a meter away.
I drank until I was almost unconscious.
He also shouted from time to time.
Eventually he was forcibly invited out of the bar by the security guards.
Coincidentally, this bar is in Las Vegas.
Cage once starred in the movie "Leaving Las Vegas".
He is melancholy and haggard in the film.
The bottle is not out of hand.
Like a troubadour, wandering through the lights.
Unexpectedly, 26 years later, he revisited his hometown and overlapped with the story of the film.
He was drunk in the bar.
Like the drunkard with cloudy eyes.
And this is not the first time he has drunk and made trouble in public places.
In 2011, Cage was arrested by police on the street.
He drunkenly quarreled fiercely with his wife.
Then he grabbed his wife's arm roughly and slammed the car window hard.
The onlookers called the police when they saw the situation.
When the police came, he yelled at the police.

Cage also often gets drunk and gets out of shape in bars, fighting and fighting.
Many friends advised him to be hospitalized and quit drinking.
But he didn't think so.
The spirited young man, shouting to break out of a path on his own, had disappeared for a long time.
In 1996, the day of the Oscars.
Cage held the little golden man in his hand and said sincerely:
"I love acting and look forward to better acting in the future."
Now, however, all that surrounds him is negative news.
Bankruptcy, debt, bad movies, alcoholism, divorce...
He's still making movies like crazy.
There is also a string of movies coming soon.
But the enthusiasm and expectations of fans have run out.
How long can he last just by feelings?
Cage eventually became a person on the show.
Escape from reality.
Anesthetize yourself with alcohol.
Inside and outside the play, he picked up the bottle.
Since then, it has gradually sunk and it is no longer possible to turn over.
Sink, can no longer turn over.
