Dear Mr. Nicholas Cage, when will the debt you owe be paid off?

For most domestic audiences, Nicholas Cage is definitely one of the first Hollywood superstars to fall in love with.

In the era when the Internet was not fully popularized, commercial blockbusters starring him continued to flood the domestic market, successfully accumulating a huge base of movie fans.

​​has a long period of time, and the public will be very much looking forward to the movies where Cage starred.

really rarely disappoints him, all themes, any role, can do well and look extraordinary.

But this once "double guarantee" for the box office and quality of movies has now become a "box office poison" or "king of bad movies."

People have lost all confidence in him, as long as he exists, there is no doubt that the "bad film" is basically "bad".

Looking back at more than 30 movies he starred in in the past 10 years, only a handful of them barely exceed the passing line, and the highest rated is "Crazy Primitive" he participated in dubbing.

What happened to Nicholas Cage, why did he take so many bad films? The reason for

is simple, to pay off debts.

He is a famous Hollywood superstar, can he still be so poor that he is in debt?

Cage was indeed very rich in the past, and the wealth under his name is jaw-dropping. At its peak,

had at least 15 luxury homes, including a California ocean view mansion valued at 24 million U.S. dollars, a Rhode Island country house valued at 15.7 million U.S. dollars, a European luxury house valued at 10 million U.S. dollars, and Las Vegas worth 9 million U.S. dollars A mansion, and a private island worth $3 million.

not only that, he also bought no less than 20 private luxury cars, and even spent US$276,000 to bid with Xiao Lizi for a 7 million-year-old dinosaur skull fossil, which was eventually confiscated by the authorities because it was stolen. It can be seen from

that Cage was very beautiful and "prodigal".

He is not without investment considerations, and uses most of his funds to invest in real estate.

As a result, because of a subprime mortgage crisis, housing prices across the United States plummeted, and Cage lost his money and became heavily indebted.

Only the U.S. Revenue Agency, he owed a huge debt of more than 10 million US dollars.

It seems that overnight, Cage fell from heaven to hell.

​​He started to splice the film frantically, no matter the quality is good or bad, as long as the reward is sufficient.

In the beginning, he was able to get a high salary with the reputation he has accumulated over the years. However, as the box office of his works continued to "pounce on the street", his remuneration began to decline severely.

Gao Xiaosong said that Cage's current personal salary is only 4 million US dollars.

This is already the salary level of Hollywood's fourth-tier actor, Nicholas Cage has completely fallen from the camp of superstars. Cage's career as an actor can be roughly divided into three stages, the early period of literary and artistic films, the intermediate commercial film period, and the "bad film" period just mentioned.

His uncle is Hollywood "temple-level" director Francis Coppola, and his representative works include "The Godfather", "Apocalypse Now" and so on.

Although Cage deliberately changed his surname for this purpose, his starting point and connections are indeed much higher than those of his peers. It is precisely because of his strong recommendation that

allowed Johnny Depp to enter Hollywood.

​​Cage's temperament is a melancholy revealed in fatigue, very suitable for literary and artistic movies.

There are many of his early literary works, such as "Birdman", "My Heart is Wild", and "Betta" directed by Francis Coppola.

Until "Leaving Las Vegas", he won the Oscar winner with his superb performance!

This film has also become a "watershed" in Cage's career, and he has since switched to commercial films.

, because of the great success of "Brave to Death Island", declares Cage's smooth transformation, and he can also be popular in commercial films!

starring successively in "Prison in the Air", "Changing Face", "Extreme 60 Seconds" and other films, proved his extraordinary strength to carry commercial blockbusters.

Even "Snake's Eye" is a small-cost movie, Cage can come up with a long-shot close-up of more than 10 minutes, and the Oscar winner really deserves its reputation.

In short, the glory of KaiQi is the hottest first-line celebrity in Hollywood. Various major productions are coming one after another, and his box office appeal is almost unmatched!

Cage’s last work at its peak should be "The King of War", which is highly respected and loved by domestic fans.

and the quality of subsequent works gradually began to decline, until today a bunch of bad films.

It is undeniable that Nicholas Cage’s acting skills are absolutely top-notch, and more importantly, his audience popularity is also quite good.

But he also personally overturned his own "Golden Sign", making fans who like him feel sorry.

remembers that there was a superstar in Hollywood in the last century and his situation was very similar, but in the end he turned completely over with a movie.

The superstar is Marlon Brando, this movie is "The Godfather", and the director who helped him achieve his comeback is Cage's uncle Francis Coppola.

We have reason to believe that Nicholas Cage, who is just 55 years old, will one day usher in the second peak of his career like Marlon Brando.

​​But at this moment, I still have to ask: Dear Mr. Nicholas Cage, when will the debt you owe be paid off?
