Sylvester Stallone Developing 'Rocky' Spinoff
This is one of the most INSPIRATIONAL stories ever told in Hollywood. His
name is Sylvestar Stallone. One of the BIGGEST and Most famous American
Movie superstars. Back in the day,Stallone was a
struggling actor in every definition. At some point,he got
so broke that he stole his wife's jewellery and sold it. Things got so
bad that he even ended up homeless. Yes,he slept at the New York bus
station for 3 days. Unable to pay rent or afford food. His lowest point
came when he tried to sell his dog at the liquor store to any
stranger. He didnt have money to feed the dog anymore. He sold it at $25 only. He says he walked away crying.
Two weeks later,he saw a boxing match between Mohammed Ali and Chuck
Wepner and that match gave him the inspiration to write the script for
the famous movie,ROCKY. He wrote the
script for 20 hours! He tried
to sell it and got an offer for $125,000 for the script. But he had just
ONE REQUEST. He wanted to STAR in
the movie. He wanted to be the MAIN ACTOR. Rocky himself. But the studio said NO. They wanted a REAL STAR.
They said he "Looked funny and talked funny". He left with his script.
Afew weeks later,the studio offered him $250,000 for the script. He
refused. They even offered $350,000. He still refused. They wanted his
movie. But NOT him. He said NO. He had to be
IN THAT MOVIE.
After a while,the studio agreed,gave him $35,000 for the script and let
him star in it! The rest is history! The movie won Best Picture,Best
Directing and Best Film Editing at the prestigious
Oscar Awards. He
was even nominated for BEST ACTOR! The Movie ROCKY was even inducted
into the American National Film Registry as one of the greatest movies
ever!
And do You know the first thing he bought with the
$35,000? THE DOG HE SOLD. Yes,Stallone LOVED HIS DOG SO MUCH that he
stood at the liquor store for 3 days waiting for the man he sold
his
dog to. And on the 3rd day,he saw the man coming with the dog. Stallone
explained why he sold the dog and begged for the dog back. The man
refused. Stallone offered him $100. The
man refused. He offered him
$500. And the guy refused. Yes,he refused even $1000. And,Believe it or
Not,Stallone had to pay $15,000 for the same,same dog he sold at $25
only! And he
finally got his dog back!
And today,the same
Stallone who slept in the streets and sold his dog JUST BECAUSE he
couldnt even feed it anymore,is one of the GREATEST Movie Stars who ever
walked the Earth!
Being broke is BAD. Really BAD. Have You
ever had a dream? A wonderful dream? But You are too broke to implement
it? Too tiny to do it? Too small to accomplish it? Damn! I've been there
too many times!
Life is tough. Opportunities will pass you by,just because you are a
NOBODY. People will want your products but NOT YOU. Its a tough
world. If you aint already famous,or rich or "connected",You will find it rough.
Doors will be shut on You. People will steal your glory and crash your
hopes.You will push and push. And yet NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.
And
then your hopes will be crashed.You will be broke. Damn broke. You will
do odd jobs for survival. You will be unable to feed yourself. And
Yes,you may end up sleeping in the streets.
It happens. Yes,it does.
BUT NEVER LET THEM CRUSH THAT DREAM. Whatever happens to
You,Keep Dreaming. Even when they crush your hopes,Keep Dreaming. Even when they turn you away,Keep Dreaming.
Even when they shut you down,Keep Dreaming.
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF EXCEPT YOURSELF! People will judge You by HOW you look. And by WHAT You have.
But please,Fight on! Fight for Your place in history. Fight for your glory. NEVER EVER GIVE UP!
Even if it means selling all your clothes and sleeping with the
dogs,ITS OKAY! But AS LONG AS YOU ARE STILL ALIVE,Your STORY IS NOT
OVER. TRUST ME.
Keep Up the Fight. Keep your dreams and hope alive. Go gerrit.
