Tom Cruise took a deep breath, lowered his thoughts, and slowly brewed his feelings, he was not as serious as this, since he debuted and became famous, there would always be a steady stream of commercial blockbusters coming to his door in previous years, for him to choose, but now he has to go all out to fight for the role of Leonida, of course, not because the role of Leonida makes him like it so much that he wants to play it, but because he needs the opportunity to play the leading role in such a blockbuster movie, because his current situation is really terrible.

Yes, it's terrible, although to outsiders, no, in the eyes of overseas fans, he is still the high-flying superstar, but the reality is that his popularity in North America has fallen to the bottom.

For a long time, he was one of the Hollywood stars with the least negative press, and his healthy and sunny public image was an important reason why he was loved by fans. Perhaps there are only two hidden dangers that he has been criticized for, one is the romance that often makes newspaper headlines, and the other is the controversial Scientology faith, which has been taken care of before, so there has been no problem, but when he fired the public relations manager he had worked with for many years, because there was no one to take care of his public image for a period of time, there were problems in both aspects.

05 was a nightmare year for him, this year, he met his current wife, Katie Holmes, and also filmed Steven. Spielberg's "War of the Worlds", however, it was these two seemingly very happy events that made his acting career take a sharp turn and plummet all the way.

<

First, on May 23, he recorded the "jumping couch" incident of "Oprah Talk Show", when he and actress Katie Holmes were in love, and talked about his new girlfriend on the talk show. Happiness dances and even jumps on the couch. This bizarre act that stunned the audience became the hottest entertainment gossip of the year. Countless variety shows like to make a fuss about this joke.

followed by a scolding battle with host Matt Lauer on the "Today Show" program, in which he talked about the female star Brooke. Brooke's postpartum depression, he believes that antidepressants have ruined Brooke Shield's acting career, and the use of a qiē psychotropic drug should be banned and replaced with "exercise and vitamin tablets". When Matt Lauer asked him why he publicly criticized Brooke Shields for taking antidepressants, he immediately burst into a rage accusing psychiatry of "pseudoscience" and calling the host Raul an "old fritter" because he was scolding American celebrities on the show. caused another uproar in public opinion. For a long time afterward, "He and Scientology" became the focus of public satire, including the famous series "South Park".

A series of events caused him to lose his popularity sharply, so that "Mission: Impossible 3", which was released in the summer of 06, only received $134 million at the lowest North American box office of the series and $397 million at the lowest global box office of the series with an investment of $150 million.

And this is not the end, after the release of "Mission Impossible 3", Paramount Pictures announced the end of its 14-year partnership with his Cruise Wagner company, without Paramount's contract, although he himself can take on other companies' films, but his small production company has nothing to rely on. is also because of the image crisis, he has been particularly quiet for the past year and a half.

Fortunately, his public image was restored during this period. Also to Brooke. Xiaosi apologized, and never talked about Scientology publicly, and now what he needs most is a heavyweight work to break the game, yes, to break the game, for actors, the best way to prove themselves is a good film work, the best is a good work that can sell well, obviously, "Spartan 300 Warriors" has such potential.

Under everyone's gaze, Tom. Cruise took a step forward and looked up at an area in the gym, as if there was a tidal wave of Persian troops coming up, but his face was unwavering, without any fear, but when he looked around, a flash of sadness and desolation suddenly flashed in his eyes, both because the soldiers were isolated and despaired, and because there were very few soldiers left who had gone with him in battle, and after this battle, maybe everyone would have died, and he took them away from their parents and families, But he couldn't bring them back with his own hands.

Despite this, the blood of the Spartans comes from the blood, the Spartans did not ask how many enemies there were, only where the enemies were, and then glanced at the Persian soldiers who rushed up, and then raised their fists high, as if holding a shield, and roared angrily: "Behind are our wives and children's families, we have no way out, only the Spartans who are fighting to the death, either win, or lie on it and go back, Sparta!" ”

This series of actions was done in one go, without any mud and water, Lin Yuquan was the first to applaud, and then Zack. Schneider and others also applauded.

Tom. Cruise smiled and returned to where he had been standing.

It's really good, looking at Tom who is calm and handsome. Cruise, Lin Yuquan had a satisfied expression on his face, and many people thought that Tom. Cruise has always been a commercial film star, in fact, this is not the case, most of his works before the "Mission Impossible" series were low-cost literary films or feature films, and he was once a frequent nominee for the Golden Globe and Oscar Awards for literary films, and because of his handsome appearance, he thought that he had no acting skills was also too extreme. Hoffman's brilliant rivalry, the restrained acting in "Killing with a Knife", and the image of the vampire Lestedt in "Interview with the Vampire" made the author of the novel, Anne Sterte, who was originally openly opposed. After the film's release, Lacey praised that "Tom's Lettate will be like Lawrence. Oliver's Hamlet is generally eternal", so of course Tom. Cruise mainly relies on a face to hit the world, but he also pays equal attention to appearance and acting skills, but his appearance is too dazzling, covering his acting skills, a bit like a little plum.

However, Lin Yuquan then shook his head regretfully in his heart. Cruise's handsome appearance, good acting skills, and strong box office appeal overseas make him indeed a good candidate, but it's a pity that Tom. Cruise plays the image and Zach. Schneider's desired Leonidas did not match, his appearance, height, and temperament completely limited him, and he could not fully show the demeanor of the king of Sparta, who was the leader of iron and blood. And his age and size are also a problem. I'm afraid it's just as hard to reach Zach after training. Schneider's muscle requirements.

After the regrets. When Brad. After Pete signaled his next performance, Lin Yuquan's eyes showed expectation, this is another superstar actor who has won his own sky in Hollywood mainly with his excellent appearance, Pitt's fame was first because of 1991's "Crazy Flowers on the Road", in which he played the role of a hitchhiker, sunny, sexy, but a robber, but it was this role that attracted the attention of Hollywood. Because he is so sexy, a Hollywood-style man has stormed the hearts of countless women all over the world in an instant, his handsome appearance, standard body shape is enough to win the dreams of every girl, sometimes a smile is enough.

Later, in 1994, he appeared on the cover of the magazine People for his outstanding performance in the film "Autumn", and was dubbed "the sexiest man in the world", a title that has stayed with him to this day, although there have been many people who have been crowned by people since 1985. Such as Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Ben. Affleck, Johnny. Depp, Hugh. Jackman, Matt. Damon, Adam. Levine, but when it comes to the sexiest man in the world. The first thing that comes to mind is always Pete.

and Tom. Cruise, Little Plum Leonardo. Like DiCaprio, Pete is also not a vase actor, and even pays more attention to the actor's own cultivation than his handsome appearance, clear blue eyes, hard abs, and charming smile, "The Seven Deadly Sins", "Fight Club", "Kidnapping and Robbery", "Rohan Series", "Twelve Monkeys", "Interview with the Vampire", "Death of the Sharpshooter", "Benjamin. The Curious Case of Barton", which presented superb acting skills again and again, although it missed the Oscars, it also won the Venice Best Actor last year with "Death of a Sharpshooter".

As the actor with the most global box office appeal in Hollywood, Brad has acting skills and appearance. Pitt is undoubtedly the actor's choice for investors.

Pete previously starred in "Troy" Achilles, Achilles is the most famous hero of Greece, in the Trojan War killed the Trojan general Hector, so that the Greek army turned defeat into victory, in a certain way, Achilles and Spartan king Leonidas have a very similar place, both are the heroic leaders of their respective nations, the same iron-blooded tough guy, extremely powerful, unstoppable.

In this way, it was obviously easier for him to grasp Leonidas's feelings than ordinary actors, and soon, I saw that his handsome and sunny face became cold, and he looked at the Persian army in front of him like a tide, unmoved, yes, he was the king of Sparta, the king of the most courageous people in the world, what did these Persians count, they were just a group of cowards who relied on the strength of the crowd.

However, when his gaze swept to the Spartan warriors around him who were sloppy and had no fighting spirit, the Spartan king suddenly had a trace of sadness in his eyes, isolated, 300 Spartan warriors and 3,000 servant troops were getting fewer and fewer, but the Persian attack had not decreased, according to the current situation, if the reinforcements did not come, they would be in a catastrophe, he understood everyone's feelings, but, however, his eyes looked at the direction that seemed to be the Persian army coming again, and suddenly looked excited, The Spartans had their own pride, how could they sit still, not to mention that behind them were the plains of Greece, the towns of Sparta, where there were their wives and children.

Brad. Pete's expression was very rich, his right hand waved vigorously towards the left hand he was also holding, as if he was hitting the shield with his sword, attracting everyone's attention, and then his right hand was raised high, and he shouted both sadly and resolutely: "Behind are our wives and children's families, we have no way to retreat, only the Spartans who are fighting to the death, either win, or lie on it and go back, Sparta!" ”

The last "Sparta", Brad. Pete roared with all his might, the deafening voice, the mad expression, as if Leonidas had possessed him.

It's great, Lin Yuquan applauded hard, this is better than Tom just now. Cruise was even more impressed by his performance, coupled with Brad. Pete's height of 183cm, his imposing presence in a Persian robe, his starring experience in "Troy" and his ability to do so are not inferior to Tom. Cruise's box office appeal, there is no doubt that this is the king they are looking for. (To be continued......) R1292
