We don't know how hard the actor suffers before he becomes famous, because we only see the side of his success, and we know little about what he did before success. Today we will talk about the American tough man, Sylvester. The story of Stallone before he was famous

We are all very familiar with Stallone, and his image to us is always a tough guy. Rocky has brought us a very bad surprise, and we are also very familiar with the drama First Blood, which really makes us realize Stallone. The beefy male image in it impreses us deeply, but he does not have a very strong background. He is a poor family child, he was born in a charity hospital, his original name is Michael. Sylvester Stallone, whose left cheek muscles are paralyzed, the left side of his face and left lip droop and his speech is slurred after his mother had a difficult birth and doctors mistakenly used forceps to help him deliver.

In the first few years of divorce, he had been living with his father. However, as the family became more and more difficult, he followed his mother to live in the suburbs of Philadelphia and studied in the Catholic College of Notre Dame. However, his life was very unstable and he often followed his mother from place to place. Before high school, he changed schools more than a dozen times, but did not finish his studies. After dropping out of school, he was in a very bad mood, so he went to a special high school for young people with confused emotions.

In high school, he kept exercising himself and took part in discus and weightlifting. After the exercise achieved the results, he also took part in many sports competitions and won many scholarships after graduation. Stallone left New York and came to Switzerland, where he became a woman's coach. He may have been as ordinary as our lives, but working as a coach gave him a lot of exposure to the acting profession and allowed him to find his own path.

After he came to the United States, he entered the University of Miami and majored in drama. However, his efforts did not change his life. Although he studied very hard, his performance did not achieve the desired effect due to his muscle paralysis, and he was eliminated from the university. He felt that he tried very hard, but still failed, and his mother suggested that he write his own screenplay, and he got his first payment.

When he saw Muhammad Ali fight for the title, his inspiration came to him. He locked himself in his room to write, and he called the play Rocky. The script was not complicated, it was about a fighter named Rocky who became famous after fighting the champion. Asked themselves to participate in the shooting of this drama, the company think this script is very attractive, and Stallone's image is very consistent, won him, and the drama has been 225 million box office, but also won the Oscar awards, who can not think of a person for life will become a superstar, and success is always in the hands of people who work hard.

Stallone once fell in love with movies and bodybuilding after seeing a movie starring Mr. World Steve Stevens.

So. He began to work as a handyman, cleaning lion cages in the animal fields and as a usher in the theater.

After working for 5 years, his vision broadened and he decided to become a movie star. Although he knew that he had a stutter, he was not educated and he was not very beautiful, he started to act once he had the idea and determination. He got a directory of Hollywood studios and started recommending himself one by one.

"How can you be a movie actor like that?" "Come on, we won't have you." "Go away, this is not where you dream!" ... Sarcasm, sarcasm, ridicule, contempt. Everything. Turned him down one by one.

At this point, Stallone thought, "I must become a movie star in Hollywood."

He kept telling himself, "The past doesn't equal the future," and "I didn't fail, I just stopped succeeding." He worked up the courage to re-market himself, and the result was the same: 500 studios turned him down.

"You must give up your mind." "Don't come here anymore. You're not welcome in our company." 1,000 rejections did not stop Stallone from realizing his dream and determination to become a movie star.

Having learned that he had been rejected after 1,000 attempts, Stallone wrote a script based on the actual experience called Rocky and walked into the studio again.

"Why are you here again?"

"This time is different. I brought a script." Some people looked at it and returned it to him immediately. Others not only looked at it but also threw it out. Still no one answered. Fortunately, he did not lose heart and did not stop his action. He still tells himself, "The past does not equal the future." "I'm not failing because I'm acting. I'm just taking a break from success."

What motivational words! When 1600 came, someone was finally willing to pay for his script. At this time, he only had 40 yuan in cash and needed money very much. But when he heard that the film company would not approve of his starring role, he was very anxious: "No! No!" He turned someone down for the first time.

It wasn't until 1855 that Stallone finally got his wish.

He starred in the movie Rocky, which was an instant hit and made him a superstar.

Stallone's salary broke a new Hollywood record, reaching $25 million.

Stallone's later trainer said of him, "Everything he did, he put 100% into."
