Lead: Sylvester Stallone, actor, painter, director and producer, 1946 was born in the United States. 1970 enters the entertainment circle. 1977 was nominated for best actor and best screenwriter in the 49th Oscar and the 34th Golden Globe Awards, and 1992 won the first prize. I share Stallone's efforts and inspirational stories.
Voltaire, the inspirational story of Stallone's hard struggle, put it well: "If you want to succeed in this world, you must stick to it-you can't leave your sword until you die." The following American story is a true portrayal of success from "inevitability" to "inevitability"-
Stallone's 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. Stallone grew up in a domestic violence with fists and feet, and he was often black and blue.
Therefore, Stallone's face is not beautiful and he doesn't study well. After dropping out of high school, he became a street thug.
Until he was 20 years old, an accident stimulated him to wake up and reflect: "No, you can't do this. If this goes on, won't it be just like your parents? Become social garbage, scum of mankind, bring pain to others, and keep it for yourself-no, I must succeed! "
He made up his mind to take a completely different road from his parents and lead a personal life.
But what should we do? He pondered for a long time. Politically, the possibility is almost zero; To develop in large enterprises, academic qualifications and diplomas are insurmountable mountains at present; Doing business, there is no capital ... He thought of being an actor-an actor doesn't need past fame, diploma or capital, but once he succeeds, he can gain both fame and fortune. But he obviously doesn't have the qualifications to be an actor, so his appearance is hard to make people confident. He has no professional training, no experience and no sign of "talent".
But the driving force of "be sure to succeed" made him think that this was the only chance in his life and the last possibility of success. Never give up, be sure to succeed!
So, he came to Hollywood, looking for stars, directors, producers ... looking for everyone 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.
You must succeed, you must persist, and you must find someone else. ...
Unfortunately, two years passed quickly and my money was spent, so I worked in Hollywood and did some heavy odd jobs.
In the past two years, he has suffered more than 1000 rejections.
He cried secretly and burst into tears. Is there really no hope?
Can the son of a gambler or an alcoholic only be a gambler or an alcoholic?
No, I must succeed!
He thought, since you can't succeed directly, can you change the method?
He came up with a circuitous idea: write the script first, and then ask to be an actor after the script is seen by the director. Fortunately, he is no longer a layman when he first came here.
For more than two years, every rejection is a word of mouth, a study and a progress.
So he already has the basic knowledge of writing movie scripts.
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 do it 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 the effect is not good, you can cut off this idea from now on! "
He has been preparing for this moment 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.
Dr. Columbus, Stallone's fitness coach, commented on him like this: "Everything Stallone does for him is 100%. His will, perseverance and endurance are amazing. He is a doer. He never sits still, but takes the initiative to make things happen. "
If Stallone just "wanted" to succeed and had a dream of becoming a star after a meal, he would never be here today. Because in that case, he won't pay or work hard.
This story illustrates a truth: there is nothing impossible in the world, only people who can't do it.
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, 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."
