Chapter 648: To smear them, we must start with teenagers
"Ryan? Jenkins, George? Shouldn't Clooney, and Hollywood apologize? ”
Ahmadinejad, the mayor of Tehran and one of Iran's new presidential candidates, in a joint interview with Iranian state television and Al Jazeera, issued a strong protest, "In addition to Argo, there are many other Hollywood films aimed at insulting and blaming the great country of Iran and its rich culture. ”
Seizing the favorable moment to build momentum for oneself, politicians in any country or region are very good at this.
The representative of Iran's religious conservatives also declared that if he were elected president, he would push for legislation that would make Hollywood movies a national ban, and that Ryan and George? Clooney is the least popular in Iran and has banned them from entering Iran.
As if to cite evidence, he published a long list of Hollywood films and American literature that slandered Iran.
In addition to Argo, he highlighted another Hollywood film, the Hollywood film "Wild Race", based on the autobiographical novel of the same name.
The film tells the story of an American woman who returns to her hometown with her young daughter with her Iranian husband, but in Iran, the husband undergoes a 'strange transformation', from an educated modern man to a conservative and sadistic madman. The heroine was told that according to Islamic law, she could divorce her husband, but the daughter must remain in Tehran. After 18 months of hard time, the heroine finally escaped to the US Embassy in Turkey with her daughter.
Ahmadinejad claimed that the film, like "Argo," was "smearing" Iran, criticizing the film as a "stereotyped" Iranian — discriminatory against women, abusive wives, fanatical blind believers.
In his literary work, he highlighted the graphic novel The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta, which was once popular in the United States, arguing that it portrayed the Persians, the ancestors of the Iranians, as full of lewdness. Lustful, vain, wicked and savage primitives.
"What they have done is to tell people all over the world that Iran has been the source of evil since ancient times!" Ahmadinejad used extremely harsh words: "This is a culture war waged by Hollywood and even the United States against Iran." They want to subvert a great country! ”
The fierce map cannon appeared, and this event was no longer limited to a movie, but also beyond the scope of Hollywood, and completely rose to the level of geography and country.
After Ahmadinejad's televised address, Ryan returned to Los Angeles from the Napa Valley, and it was no longer an individual event for him, or even Hollywood, but for the whole country.
Having just returned to Los Angeles, Pearson, the current president of the Academy, convened a pie in the name of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The participants were all Hollywood celebrities, and the purpose was to make the necessary response to the Iranian side's speech.
In Hollywood's style, no matter how fierce the international protests are, they will still shoot whatever they should shoot, but this time it is different, the representatives of the Iranian government have actually raised the relationship with Hollywood to the level of war, and even announced the list of indictments. It contains many members of the Academy......
They quickly agreed that since Ahmadinejad had mentioned "The Three Hundred Spartans," it was better to adapt it into a movie and promote it around the world. The Persians inside...... Well, try to be ugly.
The day after Pieduì, Nicole's Kidman Studios held a press conference with Disney, Paramount, Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox, among others. Announcing the official launch of the film version of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", Ryan himself served as the producer, and the several companies will work together to create an epic feat of the Battle of Thermopylae, which reflects the resistance to the Persian invasion.
Thereinto. Several concept drawings were also released, and the image of Xerxes I the Great of Persia was not mentioned.
CNN, ABC TV, NBC TV, and many other mainstream media outlets in the United States participated in the press conference, and published the news at important times and on the layout, Xerxes I's conceptual setting map must be the focus, anyway, the other side has already fired the map cannon, and they don't mind using the most fierce public opinion to fight back.
Of course, Nicole had already bought the rights to the adaptation of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", and several major companies only made symbolic contributions, and the vast majority of the investment came from her studio.
With the help of Ahmadinejad, this work has become the focus of attention of the American public before filming has even begun.
The United States and Iran are already full of contradictions, and they have been on the verge of using force several times in recent years, but now they are undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, and the battle on the screen has completely turned under the screen, and the real struggle between the federal government and the Iranian government is more turbulent than in the movie.
As Ryan expected, the battle began to turn into map cannons on both sides, and it became more intense.
"George, have you found those people?"
Through the encrypted phone, Ryan asked about what he told him some time ago, and George's answer came from the phone, "I found a lot, but ......"
"Ryan, they've been approached by the federal government, and I don't think we need to come forward."
Amid a series of protests in Iran, the federal government looks ready for a new smear campaign.
Subsequently, Ryan called the heads of ABC TV and many other Disney-owned media, telling them to follow up on the follow-up development of the incident, and even Disney TV Children's Channel did not let go.
As a representative of Iran's conservative and anti-American faction, Ahmadinejad, Iran's presidential candidate, is certainly the focus of attacks by major media in the United States.
ABC TV was the first to shake out a historical photo of the Associated Press, and identified the bearded young man in the photo who was escorting a blindfolded American hostage as Ahmadinejad, who was one of the murderers of the hostage crisis that year!
Then, the American hostages who were imprisoned at the time of the hostage crisis and some Iranians who are now living in the United States jumped out one after another.
FORMER HOSTAGE SCOTT'S INTERVIEW VIDEO APPEARED ON THE FRONT PAGE OF YOUTUBE - EVEN IF AHMADINEJAD SHAVED OFF HIS BEARD AND CHANGED HIS CLOTHES, HE WOULD DEFINITELY RECOGNIZE HIM!
"In the summer of 1980, when I was detained in Erwin Prison on the northern outskirts of Tehran, the jailer sometimes had a conscience and allowed me to go out of my cell to let off steam, but when Ahmadinejad, who was still a low-level official at the time, saw this scene, he immediately became furious and violently reprimanded the jailer: 'They are all worse than pigs and dogs, and they don't deserve to be let off the hook at all.'" ”
Another former hostage, Lord told Disney Kids Channel reporters that during the interrogation, Ahmadinejad had threatened to go to the United States to kidnap his son, then tear him to pieces and send his toes and fingers to his wife one by one.
The news was quickly picked up by major Western media, and the Iranian side was quick to respond.
They claimed that the hostage crisis was a spontaneous act by Iranian students and had nothing to do with Ahmadinejad and the Iranian government......
How many people would believe such a statement? Would this absurdity have happened without the implication of some people and the connivance of the Iranian government?
The confrontation between the two sides in public opinion has no intention of stopping at all.
In an online survey of more than 1.5 million people, 75 percent of people believe that Iran is one of the world's evils, and 17 percent of the remaining people admitted that they had no interest in Iran as a country.
After Ryan saw it, he had to secretly admire the subtle and silent propaganda methods of these Western countries, which were much more powerful than some stereotypical and coercive propaganda.
Take the people close to him, Natalie is a standard Jew, and naturally has little affection for Iran, which has repeatedly claimed to destroy Israel; Nicole and Charlize also privately believe that what the federal government is doing to Iran is actually not a big deal.
The battle of public opinion against Iran, led by Hollywood and major media outlets in the United States, supported by the federal government, became the theme of November around the world.
Of course, in a world where Western values are the universal standard, Iran has naturally received more criticism and less support.
In order to break this situation, the Iranian government approved the state-owned film company to spend a huge amount of money to shoot a film featuring Iranian female racing driver Lale? The purpose of the film, which is based on Seid, is to break the West's stereotypes about Iran.
"In the eyes of Westerners, Iran is backward, women are understated, and Hollywood movies are trying to create a negative image of Iran, and this film will change that." An official from the film's organizers, Iran Documentary and Real Yàn Film Center, said on Iranian state television.
But god-like opponents are not as good as pig-like teammates.
The conservatives, who dominate the country in Iran, immediately lashed out at the decision, saying that 'the presence of women in the film is in itself an insult to Iranian culture!' ''The plot of the movie is simply a ridiculous interpretation of Iranian Muslim women! ''Why make such a film that caters to the tastes of the United States and its allies and promotes Western values?'' Wait.
The Iranian government's plan to connect the world was forced to abort before it could be implemented......
ABC TV immediately seized the opportunity and brought a number of Iranian artists in exile to the forefront.
Pioneering artist Shi Lin from Iran? Neysha, who participated in ABC's ace show Anne talk show.
Neysha said she sees herself as a voice for her compatriots.
"I was forced to live far from my homeland and in a strange country, because the West has enough respect for my identity as a woman, and here I don't have to cover my face on the streets, and I don't have to worry about some inexplicable pressure that we shouldn't be undergoing."
"And in Iran? Let's take artistic creation as an example, either do some simple works, and do not touch social and any practical problems, so that you can stay in the motherland; Either do what you really want to do, but you may never go home. (To be continued......)
