Among them, Arnold Schwarzenegger was born in an ordinary family in post-war Austria. When he was a child, he was very interested in physical fitness and bodybuilding. When he started to work out, he collected and read a lot of bodybuilding magazines to learn training methods and nutrition guidance. In 1968, Schwarzenegger immigrated to the United States and received a bachelor's degree from Wisconsin State University.
Schwarzenegger has muscles in his body, so he can easily win awards in this area. For example, in 1963, in Graz, Austria, the 16-year-old Schwarzenegger participated in the national bodybuilding competition for the first time. In 1966, at the European Bodybuilding Championships in Germany, 19-year-old Arnold won the title of "Mr. Europe". At the age of 20, Schwarzenegger won the title of "Mr. Globe". In 1969, he participated in the "Mr. Olympia" contest for the first time. In the second year, he defeated the Cuban player Oliva and won the title of Mr. Olympia. After that, he was on the throne of Mr. Olympia seven times in a row.
However, his acting career was not smooth. When he first tried to be an actor, because of his thick Germanic English, he could only play a role as a runner.
In 1970, his first film was "Hercules in New York", but the film reflected that it was generally not appreciated by the public.
In 1977, he starred in the documentary "Iron King Kong", which earned him some popularity. However, it was not until 1982, "Sword of the King", "Destroy the World", "Conan the Barbarian", and in 1984, a series of films highlighting the mighty heroes of "Conan the Destroyer", that he gradually emerged.
Of course, his most outstanding is in the 1984 sci-fi action film "Terminator". In this film, Schwarzenegger plays a super killer with a human face and a robot, from the future world to the modern world to hunt down the rebels. The leader's mother is a villain with a very prominent image.
In other words, although Schwarzenegger has already begun to enter the show business circle, he is still a second-rate actor, but in contrast, Michael Sylvester Enzio Stallone is already a winner.
He was born in New York, USA on July 6, 1946. He is an American painter, actor, screenwriter, director and producer.
At the same time, he entered the showbiz in 1970. In 1976, he wrote and acted the first film in the "Rocky" series. In the second year, with the movie "Rocky", he was nominated for Best Actor and Best Screenplay at the 49th Oscar and 34th Golden Globe Awards.
The response to the "Rocky" movie is quite good, and with his reputation, it will definitely be of great benefit if you shoot the first blood.
However, the price is that well-known actors demand very high pay.
Therefore, after a few people discussed it, they decided to go to Stallone first. If Stallone refused to cooperate, or if the asking price was too high, then he could only go to Schwarzenegger.
Tony is not particularly satisfied with Schwarzenegger. In Tony's eyes, Schwarzenegger's appearance is more suitable for the image of a villain.
The next day, early in the morning, a few people rushed to Stallone's residence.
"I'm sorry, I don't have time now." As an already successful actor and screenwriter, Stallone is quite busy now. He was able to meet a few people because of the contributions of High Aspiration Lingyun. After all, High Aspiration Lingyun was too successful, and Stallone also Have seen it many times.
This brawny man, who is nearly 1.8 meters tall, weighs only 80 kilograms, but every muscle is so conspicuous. At this time, Stallone, wearing only a vest, can see the muscles constantly bulging.
What you want is this effect!
Tony looked at his muscles and liked it very much. After putting it on the screen, it would definitely become a selling point. That's right, muscle men are popular now.
"Everyone, we can have breakfast together. After breakfast, I will go to the studio." Stallone said.
Nathan suddenly remembered something, people must still be working on "Rocky 2" right now? The success of "Rocky" made Stallone more confident, so he started filming the second part.
This is a movie about the boxing champion, an amateur player named Rocky, who became famous due to chance against the world boxing champion.
There was also Stallone's own shadow, after all, his muscles were exercised.
However, if you continue to engage in these boxing champions, there is actually no future. Looking at the later "Rocky 2" and "Rocky 3", the box office is actually not as high as the first one.
Stallone is very enthusiastic and invites them to have breakfast together. At the same time, this is also an opportunity.
Nathan will not let go of this opportunity.
"Mr. Stallone, your current movie is describing the king of fighters. Do you want to describe a larger conflict, such as some big military scenes, scenes with armed helicopters, for example, you are holding a gun and shooting at the armed helicopter? , Aimed and knocked out the driver inside, what do you think?"
Nathan asked.
Stallone's eyes suddenly lit up. This scene seems to be more attractive
"What's the background?" Stallone asked.
"Vietnam war veteran." Nathan said: "I am here. I have written a new script. Director Tony is also very satisfied. If you agree, I hope you can be invited to be the leading actor."
The Vietnam War veterans is a heavy subject. When the Vietnam War ended in a few years, almost no one touched on this subject. It was too heavy and no one cared about the existence of this group.
Domestically, they are also disgusted with them. Until now, it has been slowly changed, especially the recent Hokkaido War. Everyone once again thinks of the Vietnam War. It is no longer so disgusting. If the army is not strong, it will Being bullied.
And the Vietnam War veterans, this special group, has slowly begun to surface. If you play a movie with this theme, it will definitely attract attention. In contrast, the current boxing champion movie, the circle is It's too small and there are few things to watch.
"Okay, let me see the script." Just at the breakfast table, Stallone picked up the script that Nathan had handed him, and began to look seriously, page after page.
Always saw the end.
This scene is so similar. It was the same when I first went to find a major director. After reading the script, the other party put forward suggestions for amendments, and finally shot them apart.
And now, what request will the other party make after reading it
Both of them are waiting.
Finally, Stallone saw the last page. He put down the script and said to several people: "This script is great, it is tailor-made for me, I am willing to take this film." (End of this chapter)
