The story of selling dogs to make movies is one of the most inspiring in Hollywood In the film industry, it is not difficult to come across stories related to screenwriters, directors or actors “surpassing themselves” by the desire to shine and assert their position.
However, there is still a story that many people consider to be the most inspiring in the Hollywood film world, which is the life developments of Sylvester Stallone and his dog Butkus.
In the past, Sylvester Stallone was a mediocre actor and was often rejected from acting in movies too many times to count because his face did not meet “standards”.
At that time, he was so poor that he did not have a house to live in and had to sell his wife’s jewelry to make ends meet.
It could be said that Sylvester Stallone’s career failed before it even began. When he was extremely depressed, he accidentally watched a boxing match of Muhammad Ali.
The events of the match were so intense that he realized he could build a perfect movie script.
Stallon threw himself into writing the script for the movie Rocky even though he didn’t have any money in his pocket at the time.
His only asset at that time was his dog named Butkus and he sold it to the pub for $100. But when he left, Stallon only had $50 in his hand and tears in his eyes. He once shared: “That was the worst moment of my life.”
He threw himself into writing the script for Rocky day and night and luck once fell into his hands.
After only a week, Rocky’s script was sold for $30,000, and he also received an agreement to star in his own work.
Although 30,000 USD for a movie script is not big, it was enough for him to do the first important thing, which was to redeem his dog at the exorbitant price of 15,000 USD.
Then he was able to live happily with Butkus until his last days. Rocky also became a resounding success with a revenue of up to 225 million USD, surpassing Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver to own the prestigious Oscar gold statue.
Sylvester Stallone also received his own golden statue for the Best Actor category, making him a famous star.
The story of Stallon and his uncle Butkus is still told many years later as a precious example of friendship, loyalty and the message of never giving up on your dreams.
