1946 On July 6th, Sylvester Stallone was born in a slum in New York, USA. Speaking of Stallone, everyone knows that he is a world-class movie star, but his life experience is more sad and enlightening.
Stallone was born into a violent family of "drinking and gambling". He lost gambling, his father took it out on him and his mother, he was drunk, and his mother took it out on him. He is often black and blue. After graduating from high school, Stallone dropped out of school and became a street thug. Until the age of 20, an accident stung his heart. "Can't go on like this, or you will become a social garbage like your parents, scum of mankind! I must succeed! " Stallone began to think about planning his life: in politics, the possibility is almost zero; Entering a big company, without academic diploma and experience; In business, a poor man ... didn't have a job suitable for him. He thought of being an actor, without capital and fame. Although being an actor requires conditions and talents, he just decided to be an actor!
So Stallone came to Hollywood, looking for stars, directors and producers, looking for anyone who might make him an actor, pleading everywhere: "Give me a chance and I will succeed!" " But all he got was repeated rejections. "Nothing is impossible in the world! I must succeed! " Stallone is still crazy. Two years later, he has been rejected 1000 times. When his money ran out, he worked in Hollywood and did some heavy odd jobs to support himself.
"I'm really not an actor's material? Can gamblers' children only be drunks and gamblers? No, I must succeed! " Stallone secretly wept and burst into tears. "Since I can't be an actor directly, can I change it?" Stallone began to re-plan his life path and began to write plays. After more than two years of hearing and unable to find a job, Stallone is not what he used to be. A year later, the script was written, and he visited the director everywhere with the script. "Let me be the protagonist, I will do it!" ""the script is good. Being a hero is a big joke! "He was rejected again and again." Maybe next time! I will succeed! "Disappointed again and again, I hope to support him again and again!
"I don't know if you can play well, but your spirit has touched me again and again. I can give you a chance, but I want to change your script into a series. At the same time, just shoot an episode first, let you be the protagonist and see the effect. If the effect is not good, you will break the idea! " One day after he was rejected 1855 times, a director who rejected him more than 20 times finally gave him a glimmer of hope.
After more than three years of preparation, I can finally show my skills. Stallone dare not slack off and devote himself wholeheartedly. The first TV series set the highest viewing record in the United States at that time-Stallone succeeded!
Feeling: This is the difference between ordinary people and successful people. Ordinary people just want and think about the result, but they will give up if they can't get it. Winners are "necessary", not just thinking, but also having determination and perseverance to achieve it.
Stallone's inspirational story of fame 2 Once, Stallone fell in love with movies and fitness after watching a movie "Mr. World" starring Steve Reeves.
So he began to work as a coolie, cleaning the lion cage in the animal farm and taking it in the theater.
After working for five years, his vision has broadened, and he is determined to become a movie star. Although he knew that he stuttered, was uneducated and was not particularly beautiful, once he had an idea and determination, he began to act. He found a catalogue of Hollywood film companies and began to recommend himself one by one.
"How can you be a movie actor like this?" "Forget it, we don't want you." "Go away, this is not where you dream!" ..... sarcasm, sarcasm, ridicule, contempt. Everything, rejected him one by one.
The more so, the more Stallone felt: "I must become a movie star in the lottery house."
He kept telling himself that "the past is not equal to the future" and "I didn't fail, I just stopped succeeding temporarily." He got up the courage to re-sell himself, but the result was still the same, and 500 film companies rejected him.
"You are dead." "Don't come again, you are not welcome in our company." 1000 rejection didn't stop Stallone from realizing his dream and determination to become a movie star.
With the lesson that 1000 actions were all rejected, Stallone wrote a script called "Rocky" based on his actual experience and re-entered the film company.
"Why are you here again?"
"This time is different. I brought the script. " If someone turns it over, give it back to him immediately. Others not only didn't read it, but even blew it out. Anyway, no one promised him. Fortunately, he didn't lose heart or stop acting. He still told himself: "The past is not equal to the future." "I didn't fail, because I was acting, and I just temporarily stopped succeeding."
What an inspiring language! Many things happen. By the time 1600 times, someone was finally willing to pay for his script. At this time, he only had 40 yuan's cash on him, and he needed money very much. But when he heard that the film company didn't agree to his starring role, he was anxious: "No! No! " He refused others for the first time.
Until the1855th time, Stallone finally got his wish.
He starred in the movie Loki, which made him a superstar.
Stallone's salary broke the new record of lottery house, reaching $25 million.
Stallone's later fitness coach commented on him like this: "Everything he did was 100% input".
Stallone was born in July 1946 in a charity hospital in Manhattan, new york. Unfortunately, he was pinched by medical tweezers and injured the facial nerve, resulting in partial muscle paralysis on his left cheek, drooping left eyelid and left lip, which greatly affected his language ability.
When he was a child, he lived with a nanny and only saw his parents on weekends. Because of his appearance, everyone dislikes him and doesn't want to play with him. He is very eager for friendship, love, appreciation and respect from others, but people always refuse him.
1 1 years old, his parents parted ways in constant quarrels, and the only' mother' who made him feel warm left him. The days with my father are not as warm and beautiful as I thought. His father is very strict with him, almost to the point of being harsh. If he is not careful, he will be scolded and abused. Father often yells at him, "Why can't you be smarter?" ? Why can't it be stronger? "During that time, he felt that he was nothing.
/kloc-When he was 0/5 years old, he came to Philadelphia to live with his mother and stepfather. His academic performance is a mess, and he is regarded as a model to lead other students astray. As soon as I change to 12 different schools, I am often expelled from the school for no reason after a short stay.
After a hard childhood and adolescence, he gradually grew up and showed great talent in sports. He wants to be a football player or a football star, but no sports institute is willing to admit him. He wants to join the navy, but he is not old enough. In desperation, he had to come to Switzerland, taking drama classes and giving physical education class to female students. By chance, when rehearsing arthur miller's famous play Death of a Salesman, he finally found his ideal and pursuit-to become an actor.
Soon, he returned to the United States with confidence and entered the University of Miami to formally study the performing arts. But his tutor disliked him very much, thinking that he was not cut out for acting and would never have a future, and advised him to drop out of school as soon as possible. Although he didn't believe in fate and didn't want to give up, he was rejected by the University of Miami by three points.
Later, he came to new york. Mother, who is obsessed with astrology, asserted that he would become a star, but not an actor, but a writer. So he listened to his mother's advice, temporarily gave up his dream of becoming an actor and concentrated on studying script writing. He thinks people always turn me down at auditions-because my eyelids droop and my voice is too low. Since I can't change my external image, I always have the ability to modify and polish my script!
1974, he had a sudden inspiration and wrote a play called Loki. At that time, many producers were very optimistic about the script, but all the producers refused because he insisted on playing the leading role. Unwilling, he visited more than 500 American film companies with the script. Finally, after being rejected 1850 times, a film company was moved by his sincerity and agreed to his request. The film was completed in a month at a very low cost, but no one expected that it would become a dark horse in the history of Hollywood movies.
From 65438 to 0976, the box office of this film exceeded 2. 2.5 billion dollars, won the Oscar for best film and best director, and was nominated for best actor and best screenwriter. Frank Coppola, a famous director and producer, sincerely praised: "I really hope this film was made by me."
Overnight, he became a hot figure in the world. He is a super idol in the eyes of the audience, with a reward of more than $20 million, Hollywood martial arts superstar Stallone.
Looking back, Stallone was filled with emotion. If he hadn't experienced so many setbacks, he might not have achieved today at all. It was the rejection of others that inspired his fighting spirit, honed his will and baptized his soul, thus changing his life. In Stallone's own words, "I have to do something to win a little self-esteem and confidence for myself."
Stallone is famous. His father is a gambler and his mother is an alcoholic. Father lost the bet and beat his wife to beat him; Mother took it out on him when she was drunk. He grew up in domestic violence, with fists and fists, and his eyes were often black and bruised all over. Therefore, his face is not good-looking, and his study is not good. After dropping out of high school, he became a hooligan in the street. Until he was 20 years old, an accident stimulated him and made him awake and reflect:
"No, you can't do that. If this goes on, won't it be just like your parents? Being a social garbage, the scum of mankind, bringing it to others and leaving it to myself is pain-no, I must succeed! "
He is determined to take a completely different road from his parents and lead a personal life, but what should he do? So, he came to Hollywood, looking for stars, directors and producers ... looking for anyone who might make him an actor, begging everywhere: "Give me a chance, I want to be an actor, and I will succeed!" "
Obviously, he was rejected again and again. But he was not discouraged. He knew there must be a reason for failure. Every time you are rejected, you should seriously reflect, review and learn. I must succeed, I must be infatuated, I must find someone else ... Unfortunately, two years passed quickly and my money ran out, so I worked in Hollywood and did some heavy odd jobs. In the past two years, he has suffered more than 1000 rejections.
A year later, when the script was written, he took it and visited all the directors. "How about this script? Let me be a hero! " The general reaction is that the script is ok, but making him the leading actor is a big joke. He was rejected again.
He kept saying to himself, "I must succeed, maybe next time, next time, next time ..."
One day after he was rejected 1300 times, a director who was rejected for more than 20 times said to him, "I don't know if you can play well, but your spirit touched me." I can give you a chance, but I want to change your script into a TV series. At the same time, just shoot an episode first, let you be the protagonist and see the effect. If it doesn't work, you can cut off the idea from now on. ! "For this moment, he has prepared for more than three years, and finally he can try his hand. The opportunity is hard-won, and he dare not slack off and devote himself wholeheartedly.
The first episode of the TV series set the highest viewing record in the United States at that time-he succeeded! Now, this man is the top movie star in the world. He is the Stallone we are familiar with. If Stallone just "wanted" to succeed, if he dreamed of becoming an after-dinner star, he wouldn't be here today. Because in that case, he won't pay or work hard.
