Chapter 643： Best bad plan

Limited by the main theme of the theme, it is unavoidable to'reveal' the ending of the film in advance, but "Argo" cleverly avoids the mystery of'whether it can be rescued successfully', and instead spends its pen and ink on'how to rescue'. Success' on.

The rescue plan has naturally become the core of the entire film. The idea of ​​posing as a film crew is very entertaining. The film’s grafting politics and personal heroism are reflected in the brilliance. Here, even the fake film is also tied to life. The equal sign.

Every audience knows that this task will be completed from the beginning, but still looks forward to seeing how it is completed.

"Have you seen science fiction movies? For example, "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" movies that need to find exotic places to shoot, such as places like the desert."

Tony Mendes stood in the conference room and talked to a group of bureaucrats, "Imagine that they are a Canadian film crew to investigate the location of a sci-fi movie, we go to spread the news, and Canadian producers go too. The news was distributed that the crew was visiting Egypt and Istanbul, and then the crew went to the Iranian consulate and said,'We still want to go to Iran to investigate'..."

"I flew to Tehran, then took them, and flew back together disguised as a film crew. The mission is complete!"

Such an incredible rescue plan naturally met with strong opposition, but Tony temporarily persuaded these bureaucrats to go to Los Angeles to find his friend, John Chambers, who has a cooperative relationship with the CIA, a top Hollywood makeup artist who won an Oscar. .

Among them, the movie is also interspersed with the Iranian enthusiasm and the anxiety of six Americans to highlight the urgency of the rescue operation.

Now that I have come to Hollywood, the world's largest film industry base, according to the usual practice, it is natural for film practitioners to laugh at themselves.

For example, when Tony said that this operation was to rescue a group of people from the most terrible place in the world, John Chambers replied-Is that place a Disney studio?

As a professional, John Chambers solemnly told Tony that if this plan is to succeed, it must treat fake movies as real movies. They needed a well-known producer to run the project to create a greater sensation, so the outdated former well-known producer Liszt joined the ranks, and the rescue giants in the propaganda gathered together.

Liszt is a master of film manipulation. They not only established the sixth studio, bought the movie script of "Argo" with a lot of money, held a grand press conference at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, and also "Variety", "Vanity Fair" and "Hollywood". A large number of advertisements were posted on the media of Report.

Posters, shot illustrations... In short, everything that a movie should have, this fake movie is all in place.

No matter how you look at it, this is preparing a real movie.

In this way, the media, producers, actors, screenwriters, and even film companies all participated in this rescue operation, but 99% of the participants at the time were unaware.

I really responded to a sentence-a secret without a secret is the greatest secret.

This episode. The film uses a rhythm that is easy enough and freehand. From time to time, Liszt and John Chambers will intersperse a few words of Hollywood self-deprecating cold humor. However, the situation in Iran that often appears through the screens of TV dramas constantly reminds the audience that this time Behind the seemingly nonsense fake movie. It is about human life.

"Go to your Argo!"

After the giant toast, Tony, with the help of his boss played by George Clooney, persuaded the bureaucrats to move around in Istanbul and start implementing this ‘best bad plan’!

Canada has played an important role in this. They have provided a series of assistance such as blank Canadian passports to the CIA. This is a weird relationship. It can only happen between the United States and Canada, which are collectively referred to as North America.

Before Tony entered Iran, the Times reporter obtained a list of embassy personnel and found that six of them had escaped from the embassy and hid in the Canadian embassy. The CIA could only do its best to temporarily suppress this matter. Tony’s Rescue operations must be accelerated.

Everything. All are highlighting the urgency and urgency of Tony's rescue!

Tony finally entered Iran. From the moment he walked into Tehran Airport, the film used various plots to exaggerate the country’s current terrifying and terrifying atmosphere...

At the residence of the Canadian ambassador, Tony met the person he was trying to rescue.

After a brief opening statement, Tony introduced the rescue plan. They also handed out the business cards of the "Sixth Studio" to 6 people, which printed their "posts" in the company.

The 6 people also got “Hollywood-like” clothes, fake Canadian passports, and fabricated resumes from Tony Mendez. Tony asked them to memorize their resumes and sent them the maple leaf mark. Stick on suitcases and backpacks.

During the period, whether it was Canadian ambassador Ken Taylor’s Iranian butler who discovered the true identities of the six people, or the Canadian government’s plan to close the embassy in Iran, it was aggravating the urgency of rescue and the resulting tension.

In the face of desperation, people often explode with great potential. With the assistance of Tony, they passed some tests deliberately set by the Iranian authorities, especially the Iranian housekeeper of Ken Taylor. Faced with the inquiries of the Islamic Guard, they made a right. The Americans have a favorable answer.

Facts have also proved that treating hired servants well and improving their treatment from time to time is definitely not a bad thing.

In the following time, in addition to reciting fake resumes, the 6 people also simulated various sharp questions raised by Tony. Everyone knew that this escape plan was extremely dangerous.

"Once they are seen through, they may be cut off or dragged by a jeep." This is the best portrayal of their situation.

In order to relieve the tension, Tony Mendez tried to turn the preparation process into a game to let everyone relax and enjoy the process. Although this sounds incredible, interest is easier to divert people's attention than fear.

On the other hand, the Iranians also discovered that six people had escaped from the embassy, ​​which increased the number of people who pieced together the broken images, and continued to test Tony and his party...

In the frequent switching of the screen, Tony received very frustrated news, and the pig teammates appeared again.

The president listened to the chief of staff's suggestion and suddenly stopped the operation. The superiors asked Tony to give up the six people and leave Tehran by plane alone. He was caught in a dilemma.

However, the reason why heroes become heroes is that they make choices that ordinary people don’t dare. After some struggle, Tony informs his boss Jack O’Donnell through a secret phone call that he wants to take them out of this terrifying country. And ask the other party to help with various procedures.

Because if you don't do this, only one of those six people will die!

At this time, Liszt and John Chambers, who are stationed at the Sixth Studio, have been notified of the suspension of the plan and left the office, while Jack is busy, opening up all the joints. Fortunately, they are the most famous spies in the world. One of the intelligence organizations.

As the protagonist of the movie, Tony Mendez is like every Hollywood classic hero who walks alone into the unknown world, completing impossible tasks, even the most critical moments, and challenging the existing ones with lofty personal values. System rules, become the real savior.

At ten in the morning, Tony Mendez and his entourage took a car to Tehran Airport and took a 7 o'clock flight to Zurich, Switzerland. The reason why they chose such an early flight was because Tony believed that the customs officers at the airport were still sleepy and would not treat them. take care.

Although it took some twists and turns to take...

When it came to the ticket, Iranian customs officers also conducted an investigation, but the group responded calmly, and the customs officers eventually stamped the fake passports and visas.

Although the boarding process is relatively smooth in real history, the movie cannot behave like this. To attract the audience, it must be suspenseful and entertaining.

As a result, they were stopped by the Islamic Guard and taken to a closed office nearby.

In the face of these guys who can’t speak English, Tony has no good way. It is Robert Downey Jr. played by the embassy official who can speak Persian. He compares the storyboard of the movie and tells the vivid picture of "Argo". Science fiction story, it is this story that impressed those young people full of revolutionary enthusiasm.

The leading one received Tony’s business card and dialed the number of Studio No. 6, when the bell rang to the end, Liszt and John Burns, who rushed back to the office, picked up the call. They Passed the test smoothly.

Finally, Tony boarded the plane with six people. A very rare accident happened. The passenger plane had a mechanical failure and had to delay takeoff.

The six people were divided into two rows of seats, and their eyes fell on Tony at the same time. This unreliable plan is about to succeed but...

Flying is life, staying is death, the boundary between life and death is within easy reach,

After a brief period of chaos, the cabin became extremely quiet under the explanation of the flight attendants. The silence was even a little scary. Six people clenched their fists, or grabbed the corners of their clothes, or prayed in secret, if they looked closer. , They are trembling.

From time to time, they would look up at the electric meter at the door of the cabin. Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, and twenty minutes passed, as if a century has not been as long as it is now.

Similarly, Tony is also very nervous, and no one can remain calm at this moment, not to mention that there are still wives and children waiting for him at home!

When looking out the window, his indifferent face will reveal a slight anxiety, but when he turns around, he regained his calm and restful state.

He knows that he is the backbone of the six people. If he can't maintain stability, what will the six people do?

Under the double attack of fear and hope, some people may just collapse! ()
