If you want to say who is the "king of bad movies" in Hollywood, you who like Hollywood movies will definitely think of him at the first time, yes, It is Nicholas Cage.
Some people may ask, this is a Hollywood superstar, is the person who holds the Oscar for best actor, how did he fall to the point of making a bad movie?
Nicholas was indeed blessed by the god of luck at the beginning, and at that time, he shot a big hit at the box office. I remember walking into the DVD store at that time, as long as nicholas's face was printed on the cover, it would look very good to choose any disc, because at that time his face was guaranteed.
He is a chemistry expert in Daredevil Island
The drunkard of "Leaving Las Vegas"
The terrorist in "Face Change"
Unfortunately, by 2009, Nicholas's fate had changed dramatically.
He went bankrupt, in order to pay off the debt, as long as he gave money to any bad film, his film remuneration was as high as 20 million US dollars when he was most popular, and later the film remuneration fell to 1 million US dollars.
Other people's film remuneration is rising, but he has lowered his own film remuneration and directly fell from the top of Hollywood to the 18th line.
He was once rich enough to be an enemy of the country, but he squandered it to the point of declaring bankruptcy...
As a man, he definitely has a good pair of skin bags, a pair of melancholy and deep eyes, a high nose, thin lips, excellent figure, charming temperament, and especially resistant to aging, he is young and handsome in his youth, and he is also a charming uncle in middle age.
Nicholas was born into an acting family, his father was a professor of literature, his mother was a dancer, his uncle was the famous director Francis Coppola, the director of the movie "The Godfather", who won 6 times. The aunt is an actress, and the cousin Sophia Coppola is also a famous director.
At the age of 17, Nicholas decided to enter the show business, the first thing was to change his name, the young and vigorous he did not want to touch the light of his uncle, so he changed Coppola to Nicolas Cage.
Without the aura of the family, he can only play some small roles, and has run through the dragon set in many movies. His uncle didn't want him to be too tired, so he let him play against Matt Dillon in "Fighting Fish".
Slowly, Nicholas also gained some fame in the show business circle.
The opportunity is left to those who are prepared, and he finally becomes the male protagonist in "Birdman", a "soldier" who retired from the battlefield.
Nicholas was only 20 years old at the time, such a role was extremely challenging for him, he had not experienced war, the pain of veterans could not be felt, in order to play this role, he also fought, without anesthesia, he was stunned to pull out two teeth, and the result was also infected.
In order to capture the essence, his head is wrapped in bandages inside and outside the play, and when he is free, he stays alone in the corner to maintain the mood of the characters.
Filming "Vampire's Kiss", in order to make his expression more in place, he directly swallowed a live cockroach, knowing that cockroaches are the creatures he is most afraid of.
The staff thought he was too deep into the play, which was crazy.
After filming this shot, he was nauseated by cockroaches in his stomach and had not eaten for several days.
When filming "Leaving Las Vegas", in order to act more realistically, he set up the video recorder in advance and repeatedly drunk himself. Then seriously ponder the state of drunkenness.
The drunkard in the film is the down-and-out drunkard we see around us, with decadent eyes, a fragile and desperate look, stumbling, holding a bottle in one hand and drinking a strong gulp of liquor with his neck.
When he was filming "Bad Lieutenant", in order to find the feeling of drug use, he went to the store to buy a bottle of talk powder, and before filming, he hid in the corner and pretended to be powdered with talk powder, and then performed his own state of being bored.
Director Herzog saw Nicholas in the corner, and thought he was really talking, so he ran straight over and scolded: Are you crazy?
Nicholas, who was interrupted, was completely helpless: I had just entered the role to find the feeling, and your voice directly pulled me out.
Whether it is appearance or talent, whether it is family resources or acquired efforts, he is invincible.
The invincible Nicholas fell from heaven to hell overnight.
In 2009, he was charged with owing $6.2 million in taxes.
How could Nicholas, who was mining so much money, owe taxes?
After the court intervened, he was surprised to find that his finances had exploded red and that he could not pay a penny in taxes.
No one would believe that Nicolas Cage was one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood at the time. In 2009 alone, he made $40 million a year.
Since his debut, the income before and after, the value of the body is as high as 150 million US dollars, which is a real rich man.
Where did the money go? People were puzzled, or Nicholas's agent stepped forward to reveal the answer.
He is a complete loser, with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, which he has long been bought, bought, bought, and built.
See what he bought all those years?
The famous haunted house of the castle in Bavaria, Germany, the Lalaurie Mansion. (He even flaunts that he is a person with ghost property rights)
The Bahamas bought two desert islands and a variety of limited edition luxury cars.
According to statistics, he bought 15 castle mansions, 2 small islands, more than 50 luxury cars, more than 30 motorcycles, 1 private jet, 4 luxury yachts...
If real estate is for appreciation, then ghost houses, desert islands... Well, forgive me, it was poverty that limited my imagination, and it was for what it was for to collect a bunch of inexplicable things.
For example, I bought two cobras with albinism at a high price
Later, he was reported by a neighbor, and he sent the cobra to the zoo for free.
For example, the auction of tyrannosaur bone fossils at that time there was a small plum at the auction site, seemed to be very interested in this skull, the two people did not want to keep holding up the card, and finally Nicholas spent 270,000 US dollars to carry home.
Within a few years, someone discovered that the fossil of the tyrannosaur skull was actually a smuggled product, and Nicholas had to donate it to the government free of charge.
Nicholas seems to be particularly fond of "small animals", he has bought saltwater sharks, crocodiles, and an octopus for $150,000, which is said to be dancing and can improve his acting skills...
Nicholas also bought himself a pyramidal cemetery in advance.
In short, he has bought so many things that he himself has forgotten what he bought in the first place, basically they are expensive and do not have the preservation of value and will not appreciate.
The agent advised him more than once: You spend more money than you make. I hope that he spends money to count the points, patronizes spending money when he buys it, and does not consider whether this pile of things will retain its value.
Instead of listening, he intensified his efforts and bought 15 houses in one go, and everyone around him thought the child was crazy.
In this way, all his money was squandered in 2009. Become dispossessed, even in debt.
He finally knew that he was afraid, and quickly tried to find a way to find an erasure, and put the real estate, luxury cars, yachts, and collections under his name all auctioned off.
Unfortunately, these "treasures" of his are not rare to others, and they have been hanging on to no one, and finally they can only sell at a low price.
The collection is difficult to liquidate for a while, and there is still a foreign debt behind the ass, what to do?
As the saying goes, a penny is not a hero, not to mention the amount of money owed. Struggling, he finally made one of the most wrong decisions that nearly ruined his career.
In order to repay the money, he still frantically took over the play, no matter who the director is, who the actor is, what the script is, these are not in the scope of consideration, as long as the money is given, the person who comes does not refuse.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to be dragged down by all kinds of bad films, from Mr. Box Office to the king of bad movies. The more reliable directors did not dare to look for him, and once the vicious circle began, it was difficult to return to normal, and he could only take on worse quality scripts.
In the past ten years, his acting skills have not improved, and he has even been nominated for the Golden Plum Award for 9 consecutive times. With the release of his new film, fans are no longer scrambling to go to the theater, but are bitter and disappointed.
Fans hate iron and steel, persistent fans want to wake him up, wait until the film emperor returns, but Nicholas is like being entangled in water and grass and falling into the swamp, still with the lowest salary to shoot the worst film.
He can't come back...
What? Can't pick up a blockbuster? It doesn't matter, small productions can also be made, just when the small profit is sold...
What? Not paid much? It doesn't matter, just give, don't default...
Perhaps Nicholas should be given a "Best Model Worker" award, who has always been conscientious and does not dare to stop for a moment.
Douban Movie searched nicholas's works, do not look at it, do not know, there are 152 movies with his name.
Good guys, this is contracted, the quantity is amazing, the quality is also amazingly poor, only less than 30% of the films are above 7 points.
Under each of Nicholas' films, fans ask: Have you paid off your debts? Can you still shoot well?
After all, the fans did not wait for his return to the front line of good news, but waited for the bad news of his bankruptcy.
Nicholas Cage filed for bankruptcy and a scandal was exposed.
He was photographed in a bar in Las Vegas drunk, unconscious, emaciated, almost out of shape, bearded, and his shoes did not know where to kick.
He kept shouting in the bar, and finally the security guard came out and put him out of the bar.
Nicholas once successfully played out what a drunken drunkard who does not leave the bottle in his hand in "Leaving Las Vegas".
Who would have thought that after 26 years, he would revisit his hometown in Las Vegas and overlap with the characters in the film.
In fact, this is not the first time he has drunk and caused trouble in public.
In 2011, he got into a heated argument with his wife on the side of the road while he was drunk, grabbed his wife's hand and slammed the car window, and the surrounding crowd called the police, and he was invited into the police station by the police.
Friends around him advised him to quit drinking, and he laughed and didn't think so.
Holding the Oscar in his hand, he shouted to the world with great spirit: I love acting, and I look forward to better interpretation in the future.
The former Nicholas Cage has long since disappeared from the sight of fans, replaced by the king of bad movies who are bankrupt, with constant negative news and crazy acting.
Nicolas Cage, after all, has become a person in the play, inside and outside the play, the bottle does not leave the hand, relying on alcohol to constantly paralyze themselves.
Sink!
Sink!
Until I can't turn over anymore...
