Around 2000, Jessica Alba was almost everywhere, breaking through with the sci-fi TV series Angel of the Last Days and the romantic comedy "A Kiss to the Country", and then consolidating her position again in the "Fantastic Four" series and "Sin City", after which Alba chose horror movies and independent feature films, from Hollywood's announcement of the birth of the superstar in 2000 to her eventual disappearance from the public, there are always people who want to know what the truth is
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Hollywood doesn't know what to do with Jessica Alba</h1>
In the past few years, Hollywood has only begun to strive to achieve the diversity of actors, both representing many races and cultures on the screen, but also allowing people of color to play the main roles in history that only white actors have played, Jessica Alba was the first to emerge in the film industry in the late 1990s, except for the lightest-skinned performers at the time, it is difficult for anyone to play an important role in large films, Alba's blood is partly European and partly Mexican, This makes her difficult to shape in the eyes of filmmakers
Alba said: "They don't know my race, they say, your Latin ancestry is not enough to play Latino, your white blood is not enough to play the heroine, so you have to play the exotic one." 」
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Jessica Alba is bound by Hollywood</h1>
Alba is inextricably linked to Hollywood, where the film industry and the media as a whole imposed Alba on the public as a sexy symbol in the early to mid-200s, a young girl in her early 20s, innocent, who made frequent appearances in major films and received a lot of support from male audiences of that era, like Maxim Mulvica, who after thirty years old, she can no longer play the roles that make her famous, and Hollywood does not know what to do with her. Fortunately, her image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of millions of male audiences
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > her films almost all failed</h1>
In the early 2000s, Alba had several opportunities to appear on the big screen, but only two of the more famous films, Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four 2: Silver Shadow Man Appeared, and Alba has also played small roles in popular films such as Meet Your Father-in-Law 3 and Valentine's Day, but none of these can be counted as Alba's films, but through these roles, she has been given one opportunity after another, and unfortunately, these films have not brought good results, to name a few, the 2003 dance film "The Dance Film" Sweetheart Dance grossed $30 million, Lucky Chuck in 2007 grossed $35 million, Machete in 2010 grossed $26 million, and Escape from Earth in 2013 grossed $57 million
After so many years of making films, producers are reluctant to give them millions of dollars to Alba if their investment doesn't pay off well
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > her films were slammed by critics</h1>
Hollywood uses two criteria to measure an actor's success, box office receipts, and critical acclaim, but if an actor can make money on a film that critics deny, or star in a film that has a reputation, award-winning but low-grossing film, their careers will be long, and for Alba, she has never been a commercial attractor, and the films she starred in, critics were not satisfied, "My Invisible Symbol" is one of the few unrated films, and "Lucky Chuck", "Love Mentor" and "Meet Bill" failed to get 20% The failure of these films may not be Alba's fault, but as the film's lead actor, she bore the brunt of the negative attention
More negative reviews may have left filmmakers reluctant to choose Alba, who has been nominated for several Golden Plum Awards and won the Worst Supporting Actress Award in 2011
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > she fell from the ranks of A-list actors</h1>
Alba's workload has slowed down, she does not want to fill her life with a variety of performances, so she made a sober decision, quit the acting career, in 2017, Alba said in an interview: "I am willing to return to show business, this is my enthusiasm and original intention, I did not withdraw from the performance, but I did not take it as the focus", for Alba, early retirement from Hollywood, to pursue other opportunities and life is a bold move, which may make her lose the motivation of her career, And that motivation can be hard to regain
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > her to become a very wealthy entrepreneur</h1>
Alba has gained a lot of satisfaction both financially and personally, in 2008, Alba started a company, she hired children's writer Christopher Gavigen as a consultant, and in 2012 and Brian Lee formed The Host Company, in the first year, Alba sold 17 products worth $10 million, and by 2015, reached more than 130 products, which were sold in more than 4400 stores. Alba's company made $150 million that year, while also achieving a market capitalization of $1.7 billion
Truth be told, when it comes to becoming a hands-on leader and owner of a billion-dollar empire, who has the time or interest to shoot film roles for months in and out
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > her comeback on TV was unsuccessful</h1>
In 2019, Alba gave up her film career and began to star in TV series, which was her first starring role since 2002's "End of the Angel", during which Alba took a break to readjust her state and made two movies, but there was not much repercussions, and the series that came back again was produced and debuted by the best companies in Los Angeles, with a professional streaming platform, and a stable cable customer, but the response was still very small, the rating on the Internet was as low as 24%, and the number of viewers was not much It's not hard to see that the show didn't help Alba much about her prospects
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > how Jessica Alba turned things around</h1>
Alba's company is so successful that she doesn't necessarily have to be a Hollywood celebrity, and if she wants to start her career over again, she can continue to play supporting roles in movies, taking advantage of the good relationships she's built with audiences over the past 20 years, and Alba's most popular is her name rather than those unpopular films, in other words, Alba still has a place in Hollywood
