Chapter 647： Hollywood scam

Nicole did not answer, but turned the notebook to his side. Ryan looked at the report from the British "Guardian" quoted by Yahoo Entertainment, and couldn't help scratching his head.

"Iran was demonized by Hollywood? The people of Iran were demonized by "Argo"?"

This is the title of the article, but the news is also not written by the Guardian. They quoted an article from Middle East Online a few days ago.

As "Argo" was shown in North America and appeared in overseas film markets including Qatar and Saudi Arabia, it was inevitably noticed by the Iranian government.

"My dear, I only saw the headline." Nicole was obviously interested in this news, and said with a smile, "Can you read it out for me to listen to?".

"no problem."

Ryan also anticipated this situation. After browsing it roughly, he said in the most succinct words, "The Iranian government...well, the Iranian Minister of Culture made a formal protest against Argo and myself on behalf of the government."

He drank lipstick tea, moisturized his throat, and continued, "They said that "Argo" portrays Iranians extremely fragile, irrational, crazy and cruel, while the image of Americans is'kind and innocent.' The agents are even more righteous and full of heroism. This is advertising for the CIA and spreading'Iranophobia' around the world."

"Anything else?" Nicole had already laughed, obviously just like Ryan, who didn't care much at all.

Shrugging his shoulders, Ryan said again, "It's about that way. They claim that this film seriously vilified Iran's national image and distorted the true situation of the Iranian hostage crisis."

"What do you think about this?" Nicole put a smile away and asked seriously, "Need a response?".

"What are they doing?" Ryan waved his hand indifferently. "Our films and products can't enter the Iranian market at all. They appear there. Ninety-nine percent of them are pirated. Otherwise, I will too. I won't choose such a movie."

Having said that, Ryan still took the matter in his mind and ordered the people below to pay attention to it. What he did not expect is that with the box office of "Argo" exceeding 100 million in North America, more and more countries will take this The film was included in the introduction plan, and the Iranian government made a strong response.

The Iranian Ministry of Culture held a press conference in Tehran. Minister Javid Shamadari directly targeted Ryan, "Under the depiction of Ryan Jenkins and George Clooney. Iran has been portrayed as a'dangerous, dangerous, Weird and terrifying' country; Iranians are also unscrupulously portrayed as fanatics, terrorists, uncivilized people, and female abusers. Tourists who want to travel to Iran will worry about being killed or being arrested as spies. Iran has already It is one of the most distorted and misunderstood countries in the world."

In addition, Hollywood will definitely get shot.

"For more than 20 years, Hollywood has not learned anything new, and is still immersed in self-expansion and American heroism. When it consistently distorts the image of Iranians in movies, their collective identity is formed."

"Hollywood may be the only Western institution that is at the forefront of the'war on terrorism.' In a movie it throws out, it follows almost the same line as the US government. That is, the simple dualism of good and evil, formulaically depicting The image of Iran!"

Finally, the Minister of Culture announced that in the following week. The Iranian government will hold a "Hollywood Scam" conference in Tehran, hoping to invite Ryan and George Clooney to participate in this conference.

Neither Ryan nor George Clooney expected the Iranian government to react so fiercely, but they were not in the mood to attend the so-called "Hollywood Scam" conference, and they didn't care much about this kind of thing. Anyway, no matter how happy the Iranians are, there is still the federal government in front of them.

Perhaps it is because of the fear of Ryan's influence that can be called horrible in the world, or it may be that "Argo" has indeed stabbed the painful foot of the Iranian government. In addition, recently many tourist groups from many countries have cancelled their plans to travel to Tehran. The Iranian government has shown the fastest efficiency. In less than a week, the "Hollywood Scam" conference kicked off in Tehran.

According to news from cn, the secretary general of the conference Lesani stated that “The Islamic Republic of Iran intends to prosecute all those who are active in the anti-Iranian field, including the director of "Argo" George Clooney and the producer Ryan Jenkins.

At the same time, in order to fight back, the Iranian Arts and Cultural Administration will cast a film called "General Staff" within this year to tell the hostage incident from another angle.

The Iranians not only verbally protested, but also took substantive actions. They hired a lawyer of Middle Eastern descent from the UK to participate in this conference.

This young female lawyer named Aimo Alamuddin accepted an interview with a Canadian media after the meeting, saying that she took the case to "defend the interests of Iran" and would do her best. Help the world understand the real situation of Iranians.

After returning to the United Kingdom, Aimo Alamuddin told the British "Guardian" who came to interview that she would file a lawsuit in the United Kingdom on behalf of the Iranian government, accusing some Hollywood directors and producers of'distorting history' and applying the law. The clause is'individuals cause losses to others and shall be liable'.

Then she told AFP reporters that Iran does not require a ban on "Argo", but only hopes that Ryan and George Clooney will issue a statement acknowledging that the situation described in the film does not match the facts.

The Iranian government is obviously not stupid. It is impossible for this film to be released publicly in Iran and banned worldwide? Do they have this ability? Apart from Libya and Venezuela and other dictatorial countries, who will respond to their call?

As for making a statement, Ryan didn't even think about it. He hadn't got any water in his head.

However, George Clooney called, and of course he also didn't want to make a statement.

"Ryan, Aimo? Alamudin... is the attorney representing the Iranian government. He sent me a lawyer's letter and wanted to interview me and my lawyer. Didn't you receive it?".

Ryan also received it, but didn't intend to go. He suddenly remembered a good idea and said to the phone, "George, this is a good opportunity. You are responsible for the female lawyer. I will do the rest."

"Get the female lawyer?" The other party obviously didn't understand what he meant.

"George, you are one of the most attractive men in Hollywood." Ryan said completely unreliable. "It's not easy to deal with a female lawyer with a beautiful boy."

After saying these jokes, Ryan hung up the phone, but seriously thought about it. This matter is no longer an entertainment incident. With the announcement of the Iranian government’s protests one after another, it has risen to the social and political level, although With the federal government standing in front, he always has to make some preparations.

It seems that there are many Iranians who have been forced to emigrate in North America, and many of the hostages who were taken hostage are still alive...

He quickly dialed George's phone.

Although the North American media are reporting this incident, in addition to relaying news from the Middle East, the mainstream media reacted with sarcasm to the Iranian government. Even some hidden anti-Semitic media and the group of self-reported media responded with sarcasm. The media controlled by the descendants of Anglo-Saxons are no exception. In this matter, they have common interests.

In addition, both online and in reality, a large number of Americans expressed their support for Ryan. Even when the Iranians held the "Hollywood Scam" conference, tens of thousands of Ryan's supporters held up various slogans. , Gathered on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to protest the Iranian slander of Ryan against Hollywood by the United States.

Brainwashing is not only a skill that countries such as the Soviet Union are good at. The United States is no exception. After decades of shaping by the federal government and mainstream media, Iran is an outright hostile and evil country in the eyes of most Americans. .

Things intensified, and "Argo" became the biggest beneficiary. After the North American box office of the latest week was released, the weekly box office of this film suddenly soared to more than 39.5 million US dollars, and the total box office of the overseas market also soared to more than 41 million. U.S. dollars, which pushed the film’s global box office to the $200 million mark.

This movie is basically non-controversial in North America, but it has become hot because of the controversy caused overseas.

"This is also good."

Hiding in a winery in the Napa Valley, Ryan said to Nicole sitting on the sofa in the living room, “The louder the voice of opposition from Iran, the greater the possibility of "Argo" becoming the best film Oscar next year. "

Politics has never been far away from movies, away from Hollywood, and away from Oscars.

"If the whole Islamic world criticizes youNicole frowned, not without worry, she didn't expect things to become the way it is now," it will have some impact on your reputation. "

"Don't worry, honey."

This is one of his dearest people. Ryan will not hide from Nicole. He paced and said, "It's just a fight anyway. Don't forget, we control one of the most influential media and media groups in the world. One."

He shrugged, "Scott has already talked to the White House on the phone. The mainstream media will only make the same voice on matters that concern the interests of the United States, and I have also asked some people to come out. Have a good confrontation with the Iranian government."

"Let's divert the attention of the Iranians and let them point their finger at the federal government."

Anyway, George Bush carried so many scapegoats on behalf of the big groups behind the scenes, so that the Washington authorities and the Iranian government had a good fight.

The two sides splashed black water on each other, no one did less than anyone else. I am afraid that no one can tell who is the main responsibility of the hostage incident. The two sides are just arguing. Anyway, it has been so many years. (To be continued...) ()
