Chapter 642: Rescue is Imperative

On October 15, the screening of "Argo" kicked off on time, and the screening of such a film with strong political colors was naturally not chosen in Los Angeles, but in Washington, D.C., the political center of the United States...... Read the latest and most complete novels

Similarly, it is not only the media and Hollywood insiders who come to the screening, but also many celebrities in the political circles, as Ryan said before, politics has never been far from movies.

The screening is basically that routine, red carpet, interviews, media group photos, etc., just when Antonio? Mendez and his fellow retired wife of a CIA agent, Ken Anderson, were the same as the Canadian ambassador who was involved in the incident. When Mr. and Mrs. Taylor walked the red carpet one after another, tonight's screening showed a different side.

Regardless of Antonio? Mendez himself has been portrayed as a hero by Disney and the CIA.

In this land, the stories of heroes are often the most fascinating works.

As soon as he entered the theater, Ryan was surrounded by a large number of people, these politicians who knew or did not know, greeted him warmly, and in their eyes, Ryan, the owner of a large media group and one of the top richest people in North America, was naturally the target to strive for.

Ryan skillfully maneuvered with it, never making any promises or promises.

Speaking of which, the people around him are more inclined to the Democratic Party, such as Scarlett? Johnson, a few days ago, Chubby Chick publicly expressed her support for Kerry's remarks.

After dealing with these fly-like politicians, Ryan rubbed his forehead and walked towards the screening hall.

"Hi, Ryan."

"Hi, Tony."

Looking at Antonio coming up from behind? Mendez, Ryan gave him a gentle hug, "How does it feel on the red carpet?" ”

"I haven't enjoyed such applause in the last 30 years."

After walking into the screening room, Antonio? Mendez gestured. "Since you have increased your publicity, my peaceful life has been completely shattered, you know? Ryan, last weekend, a total of 6oo people visited my house, and it only took twenty minutes for them to eat all the food we were going to use for the weekend. ”

"Enjoy this qiΔ“, Tony!" Ryan tapped his arm and walked to the front row.

Since the release of the memoir "Argo", the quiet life of the Mendez family has been completely shattered. Disney's limousines have taken the couple to Hollywood and New York several times, and the promotion of the film has propelled them into the public eye, perhaps a completely unfamiliar territory for the two former agents, but a great opportunity to make a name for themselves.

And most importantly, as an unknown man who has been working on the hidden front for a long time, Antonio? Mendez is enjoying these 'sweet worries' very much.

Ryan didn't sit in the middle of the crew, but with some of the top executives of the film company who attended the screening, and he had just sat down. I heard the voice of Warner Bros. CEO Gerald talking to someone.

"Although we thought of some problems with the movie......"

After chatting a few words, Gerald mentioned "Alexander the Great", which is still in theaters and actually only grosses more than $100,000 a day, "but I didn't expect the market response to be so bad." This is one of the most failed productions in Warner Bros. history. ”

Indeed, "Batman and Robin" was miserable enough, while "Alexander the Great" had a higher investment, but the box office and word of mouth were even worse.

"There's no need to talk about why movies are so bad. There is no coherent script, no spectacular scenes, and no cinematography contributes to beautiful images. On top of that, the characters don't really show any character, and they are ridiculous like puppets on a drawing board. ”

This is a comment from a fan that Ryan saw on the Internet a few days ago, which undoubtedly represents the opinion of most viewers on this film.

In any case, the vast majority of North American audiences directly classify "Alexander the Great" as a bad movie.

The impact of this film is huge, many Hollywood studios have canceled their epic film plans, and even Twentieth Century Fox is worried about the unfinished "Heavenly Dynasty" in his hands.

After an unprecedented boom in war epics, the genre inevitably hit a low point.

Row after row of lights in the theater went out, the big screen was illuminated, and after the classic Disney opening credits, the humming voices disappeared without a trace, and "Argo" kicked off.

"This is the Persian Empire, known today as Iran, which began 25oo years ago, with one king after another ruling the land, and the kings were called the Shah. In 195o the Iranian people elected Mohammed? Moshad Deha, a secular democrat, became prime minister, and he nationalized Anglo-American-controlled Iranian oil and returned Iranian oil to the Iranian people......"

"But in 1953 Britain and the United States arranged a coup d'Γ©tat, deposed Moshad Deha, and arranged Reza? Pahlavi became the Shah. The young Shah was squandering, his wife was bathed in milk, and his lunch was flown in from Paris by Concorde, while the Iranian people were starving. The Shah maintained his power with a brutal internal policeman, and an era marked the beginning of torture and terror. ”

Then he preached the Westernization of Iran, which angered those who were religious conservatives, and in 1979 the Iranian people overthrew the Shah, the exiled cleric Ayatollah Said? Ruhora? Khomeini returned to rule Iran. Then the country went through purges, death squads, and chaos, and the Shah, who was about to die of cancer, found political asylum in the United States, and the Iranian people marched outside the embassy to demand that the United States hand over the Shah, and that they would try him and hang him. ”

With illustrations and video materials, the film introduces the background of the storyteller quickly and concisely in the form of narration.

The fanatical Iranians staged a huge demonstration in front of the US Embassy, and the continuous activities for many days, as well as the connivance and hints of some people behind the scenes, finally gave birth to a jaw-dropping scene in the history of international diplomacy.

Those Khomeini believers, stormed the US embassy.

The opening scene didn't involve Ryan, George? As he said at the beginning, Clooney shot with a sense of the seventies and eighties, and he deliberately chose an old-fashioned 35mm film camera to shoot the whole scene, and even used an old-fashioned 8mm camera used in the '70s for news footage to shoot the marching crowd. With this kind of antique-level equipment, which has long been rarely noticed, most of the close-up parts of the characters were filmed.

The Iranians stormed the embassy, but the Americans could not wait for any support from the Iranian government, so they had no choice but to plan for the worst and began to destroy the secret materials in the embassy.

Like all embassies in the world, there is always something shady about these places.

For the sake of their lives, a limited number of American GIs did not shoot resist, but only fired a limited amount of tear gas, and the phone call between the US State Department and the embassy was going on. But there was nothing they could do about the situation, and many of the U.S. embassy personnel had to become hostages in the hands of the Iranians.

In this moment of crisis, the six Americans in charge of the visa hall were lucky enough to escape through the back door of the embassy, and the movie also showed a little bit of Greater Americanism, such as letting the Iranians waiting for visas flee first, and they pressed the ......

Although some people were taken in by embassies of other countries during the escape, the subject of the film is not in this regard. At this time, they were all simplified, and they fled to the Canadian Embassy, where they were killed by Ken? Taylor took in.

Ryan's script doesn't mention the British and New Zealand aspects, both of whom are members of the English-speaking Five. There is no need to smear the other side in the face of such an ambiguous incident, and the province will later provoke protests from the British and New Zealand sides.

As for the Iranians, who cares about them.

In other words. They are the ones who are black, after all, Iran is one of the sources of evil in the world in the minds of the vast majority of Americans.

Therefore, what is shown in the movie is almost a fanatical country where everyone is a terrorist.

When Tony? When Mendez single-handedly entered such a dangerous country. Just borrowed this atmosphere to show his heroic temperament.

After the incident, the U.S. State Department and the Washington authorities also came up with a series of measures, but there was no good way, and 69 days later, yellow ribbons and greeting signs were everywhere on the streets of Washington, but there was no progress in the hostage rescue.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to release the Shah to exchange hostages, and the puppet that the United States has planted all over the world is not only this one, if he is abandoned, what will those little brothers think?

Compared to those who were captured as hostages in the embassy, the six people who escaped were a real headache for the U.S. government, and if they were caught, they would most likely face the gallows of the Iranians.

Since it is a standard main theme movie, it must show that the US government will never give up on these six people, and will try every way to rescue them from Iran, and the hero should also appear at the moment.

Tony played by Ryan? Mendez, the quintessential seventies American dress.

On his way to the CIA headquarters, whether it was the yellow ribbons fluttering on the side of the road, the shouts of the indignant people on the radio, or the slogans in the lobby of the CIA headquarters commemorating those who died for their country, the theme of patriotism was all promoted.

Rescue fell on the heads of the State Department and the CIA, who faced huge puzzles.

The Canadians, believing that the risk was too high, told the US authorities to pick up the six men as soon as possible, while Khomeini's Islamic Guard Corps summoned a large number of child laborers to stitch together images of US embassy personnel who had been shredded by paper shredders......

All of them show that rescue is imperative.

At a joint meeting attended by officials from the State Department and the CIA, a rescue plan full of fantasy was ruthlessly shattered by Tony, a rescue expert, with reality, and all the pig teammates were setting off the image of the protagonist, but Tony couldn't find a suitable plan for the time being.

Like all American heroes, Tony also faces some family problems, which are vulgar but the most popular plot for North American audiences.

It was on the phone with his son that Tony got a hint and saw the TV broadcast of "Battle for the Planet of the Apes...... (To be continued......)
