Chapter 782: A Stupid Pig from Texas
The tall plastic mannequin was propped up in a dark men's dress, Charlize looked at it carefully, pulled her down-hanging blonde hair behind her head, took a bow tie and tried it out, shook her head, and pulled another tie.
"Confirm that the Iranian government did it?" She asked without looking back.
"I can confirm it."
Standing behind Charlize, Ryan clasped his hands on his chest and watched her carefully arrange her dress for herself, "The source of funds in the accounts of the three hackers all points to Iran, but it is a civil organization. Honey, you know ......"
Charlize turned around, kissed him, and walked to the place where the bow tie hung in the studio, Ryan looked at her beautiful back, and continued, "The Iranian government is not stupid, and it will certainly not admit that it is an official action, and the excuse of civil society is enough for them to explain to the international community." â
"But so their international reputation ......"
While speaking, Charlize shook his head and walked back, "I forgot about it, I was hit by your public opinion twice in a row, Iran has long lost its international image, and they don't care about the national image in the eyes of Western society." â
"Hey, dear." Ryan stretched out his hands to her, "It's a spontaneous act of the national media, and it has nothing to do with me." â
"Okay, okay." Charlize shrugged his shoulders and deliberately pinched Ryan's chin as he passed by, "My boyfriend is a nice guy who is innocent and kind......"
Before she could finish speaking, she couldn't help but laugh.
"I just went with the flow and gave it a little bit of a push."
When Charlize moved on to the plastic model, Ryan slapped her upturned buttocks, "The real culprit for discrediting Iran is the federal government, not us." â
"The federal government is the nation's biggest scapegoat." Charlize muttered, then looked at his watch, "George? Isn't Bush going to speak? It's almost time. â
Gesturing to Charlize for a moment, Ryan walked over to the rest table and retrieved the remote. Turn on the LCD TV placed on the wall and tune in to CNN, and the White House press conference is about to begin.
After the FBI released a series of evidence that hacked accounts were linked to Iran's domestic zĂ i, the anti-Iran campaign was launched across the United States. In New York, Los Angeles and Washington, there have been large-scale demonstrations in support of freedom of speech and against terrorist threats, and the media has even criticized the Iranian government, further inciting anti-Iranian sentiment among the people.
Fortunately, the throes of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are just around the corner, and the voices for war against Iran are not strong.
Ryan would never admit that he was using the media to stir up public hostility toward Iran across the United States.
Before the hackers were caught, the biggest victim was Miramax. And he and Nicole, as major shareholders, have lost as much as 200 million US dollars in the stock market and future film projects, and no one who controls capital will turn a blind eye to this figure, and those who damage the interests of capital will have to pay the corresponding price, which is the simplest reason.
Iran is far away in the Middle East, and Ryan can't directly damage a country, so further promoting the hostility of the Western public towards Iran is the best way to fight back, which can also arouse many people's interest in "I grew up in Iran" and "A Farewell". Thus recovering some of the losses.
Of course, it is also a common practice to unite with other groups with important interests in the Middle East to push the federal government to launch a new round of sanctions against Iran.
"The government still supports and endorses the release of films like 'I Grew Up in Iran' and 'A Farewell.'"
TV picture. George? Bush personally expressed the views of the Washington authorities on the Miramax incident into the microphone, saying: "The United States strongly supports these filmmakers and film production companies, as well as the belief in freedom they express." We believe. This form of artistic expression is commendable and should not be surrendered to intimidation and threats just because it touches on the views and ideas of certain people. â
The president who was dubbed the pig's head. Directly elevating the Miramax incident to a serious national security issue, "Iran attacks U.S. companies with the intent to cause a destructive impact, and threatens U.S. artists and other individuals with the intent to restrict their right to free expression, and the U.S. side 'takes a very serious matter' and will impose sanctions on individuals and entities associated with the Iranian government." â
In addition, the federal government will push allies to join the sanctions, and even push for trade sanctions and arms embargoes at the United Nations and the Security Council.
Perhaps Iran will not be reduced to the level of Iraq it was back then, but it will definitely not be easy in the future.
As a powder keg that exploded at one point, the Iranian government has previously issued a corresponding statement - George? Bush is a stupid pig from Texas!
"Looks like there's nothing to do with us now."
Turning off the TV, Ryan walked over to the rest table, poured Charlize a cup of tea, brought it back and handed it to her, and said, "We can watch the federal government and the Iranian government spray each other." â
"There's no real war, is it?" Charlize took a sip of tea and asked with some concern.
"It's hard to say."
Iran has completely jumped out of the trajectory of its previous life, and now a considerable number of people in the United States are extremely hostile to Iran provoked by it and the Jewish forces that control the discourse of the media, and those arms and energy complexes have long regarded Iran as a thorn in the flesh, and it is difficult to say that nothing will happen in the next few years.
The trigger for World War III? It doesn't seem to be so strict.
While Ryan was thinking, Charlize said with some concern, "Isn't this a little unfair to the Iranians?" â
"Honey."
Reaching out and pinching Charlize's tall nose, Ryan smiled, "If war really breaks out, let's set up a relief foundation." â
Sighing, Charlize didn't say anything anymore, she knew very well that it seemed to be nothing on the surface, in fact, Ryan had been on fire in his heart, and this huge loss would not be generous to anyone.
She didn't even suspect that, if it were possible, Ryan would throw all of Iran's top conservative officials into the ocean floor to feed the fish.
Packing up Ryan's gown, Charlize found her own, a little dark dress from CT Nature's Treasure, and of course she was going to the premiere.
"You're going too?" Ryan frowned.
To be honest, he was still a little worried, who knows if the Iranians would do something like a dog jumping off the wall, he could take risks, but he didn't want to watch them take risks.
"Of course." Charlize didn't give him a chance to refute at all, "I'll talk to them on the phone, and we'll go." â
"You guys?" Ryan's brow furrowed even tighter.
"Don't forget......" Charlize turned around and concentrated on arranging his dress, "we are in the same agency, and we can exchange news sometimes." â
Iran has now become a topic that cannot be jumped over.
Several successive conflicts of public opinion, Ryan has no doubt that he is on the blacklist of the Iranian government, unlike the previous times, this time the Iranian government has caused him a certain loss, the hostile relationship between the two sides can no longer be changed, unless the Iranians are willing to open the market to Walt Disney, otherwise he will unswervingly continue to promote the smear action.
But it is obviously impossible to expect Iran to open up its cultural market.
On October 11, the nation's attention was on Nokia Plaza in Los Angeles, where tens of thousands of American citizens holding high the banner of freedom spontaneously gathered in and around the square to take the most practical actions in support of the sacrosanct freedom of speech in their hearts.
Although "I Grew Up in Iran" was only a $10 million production, although many people declined the premiere invitation because of safety concerns, and despite the Iranian government's ongoing protests, it was difficult to stop the enthusiasm of Hollywood and the American public for the premiere.
Harrison? Ford, George? Lucas, Stephen? Soderbergh and Stephen? Spielberg and a large number of other Jews all appeared at the premiere, which was a big gathering of Jewish Americans in Hollywood.
Even the Coen brothers, who are not very closely associated with Hollywood, walked the red carpet.
In addition, Jewish executives from major Hollywood studios and distribution companies, as well as senior Jewish members of the Academy, also appeared at the premiere.
To put it mildly, if the Iranians succeed in launching a terrorist attack and destroying the Nokia Theater, they will surely eliminate more than half of Hollywood's Jewish power.
Security for the premiere was a top priority, with a dedicated security company on the perimeter, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security guarding the inner ring, and the nearby buildings were staffed.
"I told you, you don't have to come."
Walking into the theater, after socializing, Ryan deliberately walked into a circle surrounded by several women, "You shouldn't take any risks. â
"It's my choice." Nicole threw down only that.
"You're going to be out of luck."
Scarlett, who was standing beside Taylor, winked her eyes at him, "If it weren't for me and Alison, they would have quarreled." â
"Really?" Ryan looked at Taylor.
"It's just the same." Taylor pouted, "I'm here, don't worry." â
After a few words, Ryan began to greet the people who came over, whether they were here because of their ethnicity or not, to be here was to support him.
Compared with Nicole and Charlize, Natalie is like a fish in water among these people by virtue of her own advantages, and some people even faintly said that she will be given priority in the future Oscar selection, and there are a few people who can have something to do with her grandmother Portman's family, and the words also reveal the meaning of helping her lobby the judges.
The world is so unfair, even in a Vanity Fair like Hollywood, where there are people who are born with more resources.
Ryan knew this, and what Natalie needed was a great work, and then, with the support of his PR and Jewish forces in Hollywood, it would come to fruition.
In her previous life, she won the Golden Man for the first time when she was nominated for Best Actress, which illustrates this.
And there are too many such examples in Hollywood, the most typical one is Adrian in his previous life? Brody, who was not favored by everyone and had the disadvantage of becoming famous and being nominated for the first time, broke one of the biggest upsets in Oscar history, which has a lot to do with his ethnicity.
