In the United States, there is a poor young man, even when all his money is not enough to buy a decent suit, he still sticks to his dream wholeheartedly. He wants to be an actor, make a movie, and be a star. .

At that time, there were 500 film companies in Hollywood, and he counted them one by one, and more than once. Later, according to the route he carefully delineated and the order of the list, he brought his customized script to visit. But after the first time, none of the 500 film companies were willing to hire him.

Faced with 100% rejection, the young man was not discouraged. After coming out of the last rejected film company, he started from the first one and continued his second round of visits and self-recommendation.

In the second round of visits, 500 film companies still rejected him.

The results of the third round of visits are still the same as the second round. The young man gritted his teeth and started his fourth round of visits. After visiting the 349th, the boss of the 350th film company promised to let him leave the script and read it first.

A few days later, the young man was notified and asked him to go and discuss in detail.

During this discussion, the company decided to invest in the filming of this film and asked the young man to act as the actor in the script he wrote.

The movie is called "Rocky".

The young man's name is Sylvester Stallone. Turning to movie history now, this movie called "Rocky" and this superstar who will become popular all over the world are both on the list.

    After many years, I watched it again. Because I admire heroism, I love this kind of inspirational film.

    It doesn't matter if I lose. If I can play the whole game, when the bell thinks, I am still standing on the court. For the first time in my life, I will understand one thing: I am no longer a crappy.
