Let's talk about the history of the richest man in Hollywood, Governor Stallone, which is a history of blood and tears

The author | Hayashi Ono

Everyone knows that Hollywood action stars are rich and spend money.

They are the pyramid tip of fame and fortune, and they are the ceiling of the film.

Compared with these big names who have pupated into butterflies, most actors can only be regarded as dry fried cocoon pupae. In the case of Schwarzenegger, for example, when Terminator 3: Robots Rise was filmed in 2003, he was already at the $30 million pay club (the exact number is $29,250,000)!

His old man once said publicly: "I am the richest person in Hollywood!" ”

However, the governor also famously said, "If I make my story into a movie, I believe no one will believe it." "In a word, the heartache behind the scenery is exhausted.

It is said that Qin Qiong sells horses, Yang Zhi sells knives, and heroes also have times when they are in distress.

Reading through the history of the gods, there is always a sense of "the girl who lost her life was tragically sold into the footwashing room".

Those Hollywood big names won't tell you that they're myths today, and once upon a time, they lived like a joke.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > Van Diesel, nightclub bouncer on the top note</h1>

Van Diesel Vin Diesel (born July 18, 1967)

In the situation of the gods of action movies, Van Diesel has emerged in recent years, thriving, and now the film remuneration is the existence of the mountain.

"Rapid Shock 7" alone has reached a personal income of $47 million! After all, it is the second co-producer, who has been taking producer fees as early as "Rapid Shock 4".

Many Fans of Quick Shock accidentally discovered Van Diesel in Saving Private Ryan, and were pleasantly surprised — "Wow! He finally turned around gorgeously."

Saving Private Ryan (1998)

In fact, as a 31-year-old actor who has survived N years in Hollywood, this is a pitiful gift.

The $70 million blockbuster only paid Van Diesel 100,000!

However, that was enough to make Van Diesel grateful to Dade, although he played Capazzo's role was too small to play, and he was the first person in the squad to hang up!

Van Diesel was born on July 18, 1967 in Alameda County, California, a small place that requires a magnifying glass to find on a map.

He and his twin brother Paul Diesel have not seen their biological father since birth. Diesel, who had always been secretive about his origins, was pressed by the media, and he only swallowed and said: "The only thing I can be sure of about my father is that he is a man of color." ”

After graduating from high school, he worked as a bodyguard for a long time, working for nine years in front of and behind the famous new York nightclub Tunnel (closed) and Mars! Finally, one day, he quit the job that scared his mother and ran to be a promising businessman - selling light bulbs! Hundreds of phone calls a day are made to New York housewives.

At the age of 26, Van Diesel ran to Hollywood, but after more than a year of wandering around, eating countless closed-door soups and making no progress, except for spending all the money saved from selling light bulbs, he was no different from his previous self, so he lost his soul and ran back to New York.

At this time, his mother comforted him and said, you can send a selfie.

Van Diesel really started to write the script, strung together the closed-door soup he had eaten in Hollywood into a running account, the film was called "Multi-Facial", started filming, and finally won the invitation to the Cannes Film Festival, where he shined and was universally acclaimed.

Multi-Facial (1995)

After all, this documentary is tough on the angle of the film — about how African Americans will be attacked when they audition in Hollywood?

"The Man with a Thousand Faces" is the debut of 28-year-old Van Diesel, and he did not receive a penny of film remuneration. Because the producer is himself, he invested $3,000 and sold light bulbs to earn.

Van Diesel's true debut was Saving Private Ryan, a turning point in his life.

At that time, Van Diesel sent three letters to director Stephen Spielberg, in which he emotionally expressed his admiration for Schindler's List.

Spielberg later recalled that he basically did not feel the content of the letter, mainly because this guy was too well-written and well-written, and it was no pity.

Really, the technology is not pressed ah~

After all, no one had seen the letter with his own eyes, and we don't know how Van Diesel wrote it, we only know that since then, he has never had to sell light bulbs.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > Nicolas Cage's screen debut</h1>

Nicolas Cage (born January 7, 1964 in Long Beach, California)

I often think that if Nicolas Cage died after acting in "Far Away from Las Vegas," I would use him as a god for the rest of my life.

Of course, this is a very irrational idea.

The rational idea should be that he can't always get 240,000 pieces for a lifetime, right?!

Don't you need money to get married so many times?

Leaving Las Vegas (1995)

Yes, that's right, "Far Away from Las Vegas", bringing him the first masterpiece of his life, only took 240,000 films!

No way, the total investment of the entire film is only $3.5 million, even if the use of shabby 16mm film to buy film money is not enough.

After that, "Brave Island" really turned around gorgeously - a total of 4 million US dollars! Get rich overnight! Sure enough, the action superstar is better than the literary and artistic small freshness.

Until "Change of Face" Nicholas has gone farther and farther down the road of action movies, eight horses can not be pulled back, and the salary has risen to $6 million!

Face/Off (1997)

In 2004, "National Treasure" began, Nicolas Cage officially entered the 20 million film pay club, all the way to the top, and later gave "Crazy Primitive Man" a tone, can get 1 million rewards.

However, even such a stylish emperor superstar who is enough to be called the face of Hollywood, the debut work that entered the film industry that year is also quite concave, and it is estimated that this is a still that Nicolas Cage most wants to burn -

Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)

In 1982, "Open American Schools" was probably the prototype of the later "American Pie". Fortunately, this movie is a good position, the male protagonist is Sean Pan, and the female protagonist is the beautiful and lovely Phoebe Cates! And Uncle Martin of Mars!

It's just that the beautiful heroine has nothing to do with Nicolas Cage, after all, he is only ranked 18th in the cast list, really 18th, and there is no implication of the 18th line.

Nicholas Cage's real lead role was followed by 1983's Valley Girl, which paid $5,000.

Yes, you read that right, not 50 million! That's 5,000 pieces.

Although the film had a good input-output ratio, it cost $350,000 and grossed $17.34 million!

Valley Girl (1983)

1983 was already very astrological

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > was happily being a bartender when he was dragged to make a movie</h1>

Bruce Willis (born March 19, 1955)

Many Chinese viewers have always thought that "Die Hard" is Bruce Willis's debut novel, because they have been watching his TV series "Blue Moonlight Detective Agency" before, and in fact many American viewers think so. This is not the case.

Moonlighting (1985-1989)

Lao Boo's debut is a movie, and Cast is good, starring Frank Sinatra, Fay Donnevi, david Dukes (Phoebe Cates' dad in Angels on Earth).

The film is called Headless Blood and was shot in 1980.

The First Deadly Sin (1980)

Lao Bu was working as a bartender in a bar at the time, and because of his outgoing and lively personality, he made many friends in the film and television circle, so he was pulled to be a passerby, and ranked 40th in the credits, or the last.

At that time, the old cloth still had hair, but the crew gave him a large top hat, which almost covered half of his face. No one notices that he appears in the film. Many years later, some of his character profiles stated that "when Delaney left, a man walked into the restaurant (unconfirmed)".

The note is "unconfirmed" because the hapless company officially went out of business after making this hapless movie.

And the boss and starring is Lao Bu's idol - the famous singer/movie star Frank Sinatra!

Frank Sinatra's slashing and unreliability are well known in Hollywood.

The most widely circulated passage is that in 1952, to celebrate the first wedding anniversary, he publicly presented his wife, Ava Gardner, with a diamond ring at a party, and within a week, Ava received a bill for the diamond ring.

In this movie, Lao Bu did not get a penny of remuneration, and he ran from afar to play soy sauce, just to see the idol style.

But with Bruce Willis's brilliance, he revived the opportunity. Since then, he has been auditioning non-stop, and soon became the male protagonist of "Blue Moonlight", from an unknown bartender to a superstar of great attention, which took only four years!

Die Hard (1988)

In 1988, Lao Bu, who had already gained fame in the American drama industry, received a contract from 21st Century Fox's "Die Hard 1", and the boss Murdoch happily wrote a $5 million check!

But strictly speaking, this is not a reward for the debut of the old cloth.

Jiangshan generation has talents out! The back wave beats to death before the wave is the right way in the world!

It is said that there is a person who has never made a movie, but he got a sky-high price of 5 million US dollars, and the record has not been broken so far!

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > the record set for the highest debut film in film history</h1>

Dawn Johnson Dwayne Johnson (born May 2, 1972)

To tell you a cold knowledge, who was the highest-paid male movie star in the global Forbes list last year?

Dawn Johnson, of course – $87.5 million!

Johnson is said to be quite popular in the United States because he is unique and difficult to replicate his frank smile.

The year before Johnson did a dazzling thing, he gave his bodyguard and stunt and distant cousin Tanoé Reed a Ford F150 as a birthday gift, which moved the other party to tears.

Cousins

Netizens have mixed feelings after reading it, many people run to acid Jackie Chan "you look at people", which is not too addictive, and then run to acid Jet Li.

In fact, the rich man Johnson has done a lot of things to sprinkle money everywhere, as early as 2014, he gave his nanny a Ford, "thank her for ten years to take care of the vacant mansion." ”

In my opinion, my cousin's big Ford should have been given long ago, Tanoé Reed has broken bones and strained ligaments several times in more than a decade, and since 2001's "The Mummy Returns", he has been in the group, and the movie cousin has made $5 million!

Johnson is an outlier in the action movie superstar, he is a lucky boy, before entering the film wrestling career, he is a bodyguard nanny before and after hugging, very pompous.

The reason why his debut film can get such a high salary is because he has a bunch of wrestling qualifications.

However, there is another peer who also has a qualification certificate, which is far from being so lucky.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > Shange Winton's debut is breakdancing! </h1>

Jean-Claude Van Damme (born 8 October 1960)

The 16-year-old belgian karate champion found himself far from the Raptors when he arrived in Hollywood.

Basically the tiger you have to lie down, the dragon you have to coil.

Before entering the film industry, he worked as a carpet cleaner, pizza delivery man, limousine driver, club bodyguard, etc., and worked hard to learn English between jobs.

One day, as he was walking down the street, he bumped into the owner of cannon films, shangge Winton stepped forward to stop him, and before the other party could return to him, the stunned Qing had already moved to perform a set of punches and kicks in front of him.

The boss rolled his eyes and said to him, "We are missing a star, tomorrow I will come over to my office." ”

So Shange Winton got his first role in his life—

Breakin' (1984)

In the 7 minutes and 22 seconds of beach dance in "Break Dance", we can now see that Shange Yunton still cherishes this opportunity, and works hard to perform, and every frame must be grained.

Many years later, according to his own recollection, he still tried to turn over a few heels on the spot that day, but unfortunately it was later cut by the director.

How much "Break dance" paid Shanger Winton did not disclose, we can see some clues from his next film, "Blood Game" directed by Yuan Kui - the film salary of $250!

No Retreat, No Surrender by Yuan Kui (1986)

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > let's talk about the richest man in Hollywood, the governor</h1>

Arnold Schwarzenegger (born July 30, 1947)

The governor is probably my favorite action movie star to show off.

After the filming of Terminator 2 in 1991, the governor, who had just turned over and sang, couldn't wait to get his hands on the first civilian Hummer H1 in the United States, and painted the words "TERMINATOR" on both ends of the body.

And every time you appear in the camera, you will have a big gold wrench to drive a cigar, and the shape will be pinched to death.

Probably the governor's debut film salary is not enough for him to pay for a box of cigarettes today.

Compared with the above juniors, the governor's experience from the film is slightly earlier - 1969 "Hercules in New York".

Hercules in New York (1969)

Looking back now we see the trailer for this movie, which is hilarious, biu ~ after a blu-ray flash, the governor appears, and the voice-over tells us that this is a promising young man who won the title of Austrian Bodybuilder as early as the age of 19!

The storyline of the movie is roughly an American version of "Heavenly Immortals", the son of Zeus of the gods, Hercules, tired of his father's discipline, secretly ran to New York to experience life, do good deeds without leaving a name, help the needy, eliminate violence and goodness, and try to turn the tide in the story of the inverted and incidental bubble girl.

Because the governor has a lot of qualifications in advance, the bodybuilding industry also has a number one, and the film remuneration is not too cold - 12,000 US dollars.

It's really not enough to pay for a box of cigarettes today [yawn] [yawn]

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > Stallone's history of his career, which is a history of blood and tears</h1>

Sylvester Stallone (born July 6, 1946)

Brother Long has not made any big moves recently, only a small film, but it has set off an uproar around the world.

No less than the sensation caused by "Rocky 1" that year.

This little film is the VCR where he sells his mansion. Clicking on the screen, a local tycoon atmosphere rolled in, and there was a sense of immediacy of the wine pool meat forest, so that I and other mortals finally saw what is called the fourth largest mansion in Los Angeles.

It is said that this mansion still treasures the "animal skin" that Stallone wore when filming "First Blood 1", but whether there is still a copy is also the object of speculation by people from all walks of life.

After the success of Rocky 1 in 1976, someone called Stallone and asked him to buy the rights to his debut film "Stud's Party" for $100,000, which he immediately refused!

Stallone later told people that although the investors behind the movie were the richest lawyers in New York, they still sent people to blackmail him, and Stallone said to them, "Oh, I'm not even willing to pay you two dollars." ”

The series of events that followed were so beautiful that they could be described as a beautiful landscape.

First of all, the movie returned to the theater release, the title was repackaged, "Stud's Party" became "Some Kind of Italian Horse", and the ticket price was hyped to an absurd $1,000 a night!

It has become a strange story in the history of American cinema!

Not only that, but the video was released at the same time, from best-selling to out-of-stock, and those decent lawyers made a lot of money to soft.

Stallone remained silent.

In fact, Stallone is not as free as he imagined, and in his long career from film, he pushed away too many classic romance films, such as "Beautiful Woman".

"First Blood 1" He broke three ribs, "Victory Run" was hit by the goal frame and broke two ribs, and Bailey grabbed the ball and broke a finger, "Rocky 4" was almost killed in the intensive care unit by Duff Longel with a heavy punch in the chest...

I'd rather crush my body and not touch the subject of love. What is called a shadow, this is called a shadow.

In 2010, someone took Longge's debut 35mm original film to the Internet for sale, shouting for 270,000 pounds. Stallone still ignored it.

Ignoring it does not mean being indifferent.

The Time Magazine reporter asked him why he made this decision in the first place. To shoot something that doesn't fit in?

Stallone finally broke the silence — "I made this film in a desperate situation when I ran out of money to pay my rent and was kicked out of my apartment, it was winter, I slept two nights at a bus stop in New York, and I was freezing." I was faced with two choices, either to make a movie or to rob. Fortunately, two days later, I got paid for the film and finally walked out of the bus station. ”

So the reporter asked, "How much is the film paid?" ”

Stallone groaned a little and let out a long breath—"$200." ”
