2404【Will Smith】

Will Smith is known as the "Historical Emperor" in Hollywood. He starred in almost no bad movies, and many of them are famous classics in film history.

For example, "The Jedi Men", "Men in Black", "I, Robot", "Independence Day", "When Happiness Comes Knocks", "I Am a Legend", "Public Enemy", etc.

However, in the later years of his acting career, he was dragged down by his wife and baby son, which led to Will Smith losing popularity and gradually getting out of date. It was a pity.

His wife criticized the Oscar Awards Committee, believing that they had racial bias, favored white movie stars while ignoring black movie stars, and refused to attend the establishment of Oscar companions, which caused an uproar.

The Oscar Awards Committee is composed of thousands of well-known Hollywood filmmakers. Her remarks have scolded everyone, which naturally makes the judges very dissatisfied with her.

Will Smith did not apologize in time, but instead stood on his wife's side, so the couple were both turned away by Oscars. This also led to him not obtaining very good resources afterwards.

Even when he starred in a movie like "Suicide Squad", the "death shot" he played was not as popular as the clown girl. It was really a down-and-out phoenix, which was worse than a chicken.

...

Another reason why he was abandoned by Hollywood is that Will Smith always spared no effort to pave the way for his baby son, hoping to make him a big star.

But the key is that his son is really not that material. In terms of appearance, his son is not as handsome as him. Will Smith's appearance can be recognized even if he is not a black man, and he is definitely a handsome guy. Smith's appearance is hard to describe.

In terms of acting skills, Will Smith is definitely a powerful actor and has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor twice. However, Smith's acting skills are not just ordinary, they can be described as bad things.

In terms of talent, Will Smith is a three-star star, and film, television and music have made great progress.

He was a singer when he first debuted. In the late 1980s, he was already a very famous rapper and won the four Grammy Award for Best Rapper;

The American drama "The Fresh Prince's Wonderful Things" starring him also translated "Cousin of Tea" has achieved very good ratings in the United States and has been filmed for as many as six seasons. This is already a popular drama in the United States;

The movies he starred in were even more unspeakable. It is said that he is one of the black American actors with the highest cumulative box office starring the movies.

In comparison, Smith Jr. has almost nothing to praise.

Although he debuted as a child star, he has been acting with his father since he was four years old, starring in "Men in Black 2" and co-starring in "When Happiness Comes Knocking the Door" at the age of eight, his acting skills are still very poor.

But Will Smith also praised his son in particular and used the "bundled sales" strategy to promote his son. In short, "I have to ask me to film, and I have to ask my son to film."

So the father and son partnered in "Kung Fu Dream" (starring Cheng Long and Will Smith as the producer), and the father and son jointly starred in "Return to Earth"... As a result, the box office of several movies failed without exception. Will Smith won the worst male lead for the Golden Raspberry Award.

The failure of several movies not only ruined Will Smith's audience interest, but also made Hollywood film companies worried about him and dared not invite him to film. After all, there is a lesson in the past, they do not want to repeat the same mistakes.

It can be said that Will Smith was unlucky, and he was unlucky in his family.

However, Will Smith is not so unlucky now. He is in his prime and is able to achieve high box office, so Xia Tian decided to use him.

...

"Will Smith?! Yes." Long Mayer nodded when he heard Xia Tian say this.

Will Smith has been a very well-known rapper since the late 1980s and won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance in Hachino.

Unfortunately, he was fined $2.8 million by the tax bureau for suspected tax evasion. In addition, he was always spending money and had no savings, so he almost went bankrupt.

Later, in order to pay off his debts, he went to act in a soap opera, but he accidentally planted willows and successfully entered the film and television industry and opened up another world.

The American drama "Cousin of Tea" starring him is still on the air. Although the ratings are not as high as the first-rate, it cannot be compared with "The Story of the Emergency Room", "Friends", "The Beach Ranger", "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", etc., but it can be regarded as a very outstanding drama.

Will Smith's acting skills in the play also attracted the attention of Hollywood. In 1993, film companies invited him to film, and his performance was quite good. He was one of the famous black movie stars now.

It's really a good choice to have him star in "The Jedi Men" and partner with Martin Lawrence.

Moreover, Will Smith's pay is not high, and you can get it for about 500,000 US dollars. In comparison, it costs at least 10 million US dollars to hire Eddie Murphy, which is twenty times worse. With so much money, you can invest in movies to make the film production more sufficient, so that the films made will be better.

"That's it." Xia Tian nodded, "By the way, Will Smith can sign a few more film contracts, I'm optimistic about him."

"Yes, Mr. Xia, I will do it." Long Mayer nodded with a smile.

The actors discovered in summer are indeed very potential. For example, Julia Roberts was just one of the most ordinary female artists in Hollywood before filming "The Pretty Beauty".

But now, she is already a famous American sweetheart. The box office of the movies starring is higher than the other, and she is a veritable box office superstar.

For example, Bruce Willis was just a TV star back then. But now he is a well-known tough guy action star in Hollywood. The "Fate Express" series, "Ultimate Vanguard", "The Storm of the Right" and so on have achieved good box office.

Nowadays, although its popularity is not as good as that of old-fashioned first-tier movie stars such as Schwarzenegger and Stallone, it can be regarded as a powerful figure at the first-line and second-line head.

Therefore, he also admires Xia Tian's vision. Since Xia Tian said Will Smith had a great future, he naturally would not give up easily. He must take advantage of his cheapness and sign a few more film contracts.

...

"By the way, director, who did you invite?" Xia Tian asked again.

"Tony Scott." Long Mayer replied.

Xia Tian nodded, "Please invite him next time. I want to direct this drama by Michael Bay."
