"ABC TV Update, by Ryan? Jenkins wrote and acted in George? Clooney's political thriller "Argo" today revealed a new poster, with Ryan's frowning face close-up as the theme, the poster also reads - the movie is fake, the action is real - the film was held not long ago after the trial meeting, received unanimous praise from the participants, and was even considered by many media to be a favorite to compete for the Oscar. ”

After entering mid-September, the promotion of "Argo" has reached the final stage, although due to the limited publicity budget, the major media under Disney and the online media in which Ryan participates can still see the news and advertisements of this film everywhere.

"Based on real historical events, Argo - a huge lie and an incredible plan!"

"A great salvation, an incredible journey, Argo will be released on October 15!"

Signage posters, entertainment lace, online advertisements, viral videos, just like past movies, Ryan has never been ambiguous in terms of film promotion, and the last period before the release of "Argo" must be the most critical stage of publicity.

Although he rarely plays in person these days, George? Clooney with Robert Jr.? Downey, Allen? Akin, John? Goodman and others tossed and turned between various announcements, even the archetypal character Antonio? Mendez was on his own.

Ryan made good on his promise, and just before the film's release, his eponymous memoir "Argo" was officially published, entering both the physical and e-book markets, and although sales were not comparable to this year's super hits "The Hunger Games" and "The Da Vinci Code", it also triggered a rush to buy, after all, it recorded many classified events that the CIA declassified but still unknown to the general public.

The small craze triggered by the memoir also increased the public's expectations for the movie.

The entire promotional plan of the film is carried out by a professional team. It's still going on in an orderly manner.

"Argo" re-exposed the character poster, and the three giants crossed the ocean to save the hostages."

"Los Angeles Times, Ryan's new film "Argo" exposed three character posters today.

"The three posters not only expose the three protagonists Ryan? Jenkins, John? Goodman, Allen? Ah Jin's shape, the three posters are more logically related. ”

"From the first poster, 'Our purpose is just to make a movie,' to the second one, 'The movie is just a façade,' to the third poster, 'Hollywood movies provide a storyline with a big plan,' on the third poster. The deliberate and meticulously planned rescue plans of the three giants are unveiled layer by layer, and a high-intelligence hostage rescue operation is ready to start. ”

The film itself has limited investment, and it is impossible to achieve the overwhelming publicity bombardment of the "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter" series, all of which are extremely targeted. In particular, the trailer was not released until the end of September.

"The trailer of "Argo" is first revealed, and Ryan's new work focuses on classified CIA incidents!"

"Yahoo Entertainment News, Ryan's self-written and self-starred political thriller "Argo" today exposed the first trailer, not to mention the political thriller mode, and no matter from the retro character modeling, the grain of the picture and the music of the old rock band 'Aerosmith''s famous song "Dream.On", we have entered the story background of the 70s of the last century......"

AFTER THE TRAILER IS RELEASED, BOTH THE TRAILER WILL BE RELEASED ON 'YOUTUBE'. or on the comment board of Ryan's personal official website, many people have expressed their expectations for the film.

"A must-see!"

"I'm looking forward to it!"

"It feels like it's going to be a pretty good movie."

"Ryan's self-written and self-starred movies have always been synonymous with quality!"

Taking advantage of the attention aroused by the trailer, Disney added another fire to it, not only announcing Antonio? Mendez and a number of retired CIA dignitaries will attend the premiere. Still to Ken? Mr. and Mrs. Taylor and the President of the United States at the time, Jimmy? Carter sent out an invitation.

The former is the Canadian ambassador who took in six US embassy personnel, while the latter's re-election failure is inseparable from the Iranian hostage incident.

Of course, Ken? Mr. and Mrs. Taylor gladly accepted the invitation, Jimmy? Carter did not respond.

"Countless films are inspired by real events. And this movie is what really happened. ”

Ryan was also interviewed by his own media, speaking to the camera lens of ABC TV about the film, "If the story of 'Argo' seems to be out of reality." The audience won't buy it. But the illusion of age is built for the audience, and for me, Argo is all about how to tell a story......"

He then praised the important role that Canada played in the rescue incident in the interview, anyway, such an unbelievable event, I am afraid it can only happen between the United States and Canada, although the movie portrays American heroes, in fact, Canadians play a more important role in the incident, and it is not a big deal to say a few words of praise for them, and it can also reduce some subsequent troubles.

Subsequently, according to the prior arrangement, the reporter raised some small questions about the rescue incident, and Ryan answered accordingly.

"The first Star Wars movie was born in 1977, and it was a sensation, and the movies, the books, the toys, the costumes, it was like a storm that swept across the United States, and internationally, it was also a big event, and these mysterious science fiction movies were the movies that everyone was excited to do at that time, and for everyone in the world, it was like another revolution."

"The passionate and determined Islamic revolutionary guards also let their guard down on science fiction, and that's why I really fell in love with this story, because Hollywood has always played an important role in our country and in our lives, hasn't it?"

Finally, the reporter asked him why he maintained such enthusiasm for starring in movies when he had such a rich net worth.

"Interests and hobbies, I love the feeling of playing different roles." Over the years, rumors about his retirement from the ranks of actors have not stopped, and Ryan has also responded to this.

"Of course there have to be stories that I like, and sometimes I feel like I'm too young to have enough experience. I made some movies, maybe it was okay, but after all, it was still scratching the surface, I still didn't understand a lot of things, and I didn't have enough to prove anything, but I would wake up early in the morning and work hard all day, I don't know if I really have more talent than others, but I know I can work hard.

"I've loved this line of work since I was sensible." He said.

After the interview about Ryan aired, Cheng Cheng increased the public's expectations for the film, after all, he has brought too many wonderful works in the past.

The story exudes a powerful positive energy and trust in the country, and sings a stark CIA hymn to the CIA, showing how CIA agents devised a deception, battled wits and courage, and saved the hostages from crisis.

Contrary to the treatment of mainstream media and even emerging online media, Disney held a trial film without inviting any professional film critics at all, completely ignoring the industry.

Although the veteran film critics, who are accustomed to calling for wind and rain in the past, are very indignant about this, they have to admit that from David? After the face-to-face argument between Denby and Ryan, the group's influence on the film industry plummeted like a rollercoaster.

It's not just the younger and younger mainstream audience that ignores them, but also the major Hollywood studios, and the invisible benefits that they could enjoy behind the curtain in the past are now almost completely gone, and even many media outlets are arguing that it won't be long before the professional film critic industry will gradually disintegrate.

Even if they are unwilling, they are powerless to change this qiē.

In the eyes of these people, Ryan, who has a huge amount of media resources in his hands, is the direct inducement, and what they want to do most is to take advantage of the failure of a certain movie to launch the most violent attack on him while they still have a little influence.

So, they're waiting, waiting for this opportunity to arise.

However, critics didn't wait for Ryan's movie to be released, and first ushered in a movie that surprised everyone in Hollywood, a super epic war masterpiece that was even more miserable than the word-of-mouth and box office of "King Arthur".

On the first day of October, Warner Bros. spent $155 million on "Alexander the Great" and threw away $60 million in publicity to officially land in North American theaters.

In the first three days, "Alexander the Great" only got $16.78 million at the box office in 3,445 North American theaters!

This is not a literary film and a cult niche film, but a super blockbuster with a total investment of more than 200 million US dollars, and the ratio of such investment to the box office in the first week almost indicates that the film will definitely lose all its money.

In fact, in the second week, while keeping the number of theaters unchanged, the North American box office of "Alexander the Great" fell directly to $6.18 million, and many theater companies withdrew from the screening in favor of the upcoming "Argo", so that the number of theaters in the third week of "Alexander the Great" quickly fell to more than 2,100.

As for the box office, as of the release of "Argo" on October 15, "Alexander the Great" took half a month to harvest a pitiful more than $31.1 million in the North American market.

Epic war films will inevitably fall into a trough. (To be continued......)
