"The latest news on abc TV station, the political thriller "Argo" written and starred by Ryan Jenkins and directed by George Clooney, was exposed today. The theme is the close-up of Ryan's frown face. The poster also reads - the movie is fake and the action is real - After the film held a test session recently, it received unanimous praise from the participants, and was even considered by many media to be a popular competing for Oscars."

After mid-September, the promotion of "Argo" reached its final stage of efforts. Although the publicity budget was limited, major media under Disney and online media where Ryan had a stake in the video could still be seen everywhere.

"Adapted from real historical events, "Argo" - a lie and incredible plan!"

"A great rescue, an incredible journey, "Argo" will be grandly released on October 15th!"

Signage posters, entertainment lace, online advertising, viral videos, like past movies, Ryan never is vague in film promotion. The last period before "Argo" was released was definitely the most critical stage of publicity.

Although he rarely goes on the battle in person now, George Clooney brought Robert Downey Jr., Allen Akin, John Goodman and others to various announcements, and even the prototype Antonio Mendez personally took the battle.

Ryan fulfilled his promise to him. Just before the movie was about to be released, his memoir of the same name, "Argo", was officially released, and entered the physical and electronic books markets. Although the sales volume is incomparable to the super popular "The Hunger Games" and "The Da Vinci Code" this year, it also triggered a surge in buying. After all, it records many confidential incidents that the CIA is still not known to the public even after declassifying it.

The small boom caused by memoirs has also increased the public's expectations for movies.

The entire promotional plan of the video is under the responsibility of a professional team and is still carried out in an orderly manner.

"Argo" reveals the role poster again, and the three giants cross the ocean to save hostages."

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

"The three posters not only expose the looks of the three protagonists Ryan Jenkins, John Goodman and Allen Akin, but the three posters have internal logical connections."

"From the first poster 'our purpose is just to make a movie', to the second poster 'the movie is just a cover', to the third poster 'Hollywood movies provide a storyline with a big plan'. The rescue plan that the three giants have been deliberately planned and carefully planned is revealed layer by layer, and a high-IQ hostage rescue operation is ready to go."

The investment in this movie itself is limited, and it is impossible to achieve overwhelming publicity bombing like the Spider-Man and Harry Potter series. All plans are extremely targeted. In particular, the trailer was not released until the end of September.

"The first trailer of "Argo" was released, and Ryan's new work focuses on the confidential events of the CIA!"

"Yahoo Entertainment News, the first trailer of the political thriller "Argo" written and acted by Ryan today was revealed. There is no need to mention the political thriller mode. Whether from the retro character style, the grainy picture, and the appropriate music of the old rock band "Aeros Fans" have brought us into the story background of the 1970s..."

After the trailer was released, many people expressed their expectations for the video, whether it was the "Tube" that released the trailer or the message section of Ryan's personal official website.

"A must-see!"

"Looking forward!"

"It should feel like a good movie."

"The movies written and acted by Ryan have always been synonymous with fine works!"

Taking advantage of the attention the trailer attracted, Disney added another fire on it, not only announcing that Antonio Mendez and several retired CIA members would attend the premiere. It also sent invitations to Ken Taylor and his wife and US President Jimmy Carter.

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

Of course, the Ken Taylors and his wife happily accepted the invitation, and Jimmy Carter did not respond.

"Countless movies are inspired by real events. But this movie is what really happens."

Ryan also accepted an interview with his own media and talked about the movie in front of the camera lens of ABC TV. "If the story of "Argo" looks out of reality, the audience will not buy it. But the illusion of the times is built for the audience, and for me, everything about "Argo" is only about how to tell a story..."

He then praised Canada's important role in the rescue incident in the interview. No matter what, such an incredible incident may only happen between the United States and Canada. Although the movie creates American heroes, Canadians actually play a more role in the incident. It is not a big deal to say a few words of praise to 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 gave a corresponding answer.

"The first Star Wars movie was born in 1977, and it was a sensation. Movies, books, toys, and costumes were like a storm sweeping across the United States. Internationally, this was also a big event. These mysterious science fiction movies were movies that everyone was making at that time, and for everyone in the world, it was like another revolution."

"Those passionate and determined Islamic revolutionary guards will also have a lot of thoughts about science fiction stories and let them go. This is why I really fell in love with this story. Hollywood has always played an important role in our country and life, isn't it?"

Finally, the reporter asked why he was so enthusiastic about starring in movies while having such a rich fortune.

"Interests and hobbies, I like the feeling of playing different roles." The rumors about him quitting the ranks of actors have never stopped over the years, and Ryan also responded.

"Of course there must be stories I like. Sometimes I feel that I am too young and have not had enough experience. I made some movies and it may be pretty good, but it's still superficial. I still have a lot of things I don't understand, and I don't have enough things to prove, but I 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 harder.

"Since I've been sensible, I've loved this profession," he said.

After the interview about Ryan was aired, the public's expectations for this movie were greatly increased, after all, he has brought too many wonderful works in the past.

Such stories exudes strong positive energy and trust in the country, and sing a distinct CIA hymn, showing how CIA agents skillfully set up scams, fight wits and courage, and save hostages from crisis. All mainstream media participating in the preview sing praises to the movie.

In contrast to the treatment of mainstream media and even emerging online media, Disney did not invite any professional film critics at all when holding test sessions, completely ignoring the industry.

Although the veteran film critics who are used to the past are very indignant about this, they have to admit that after the debate face to face between David Dembie and Ryan, their group's influence on the film industry was like a roller coaster ride, falling sharply.

What they are ignored is not only the increasingly younger mainstream audiences, but also the major Hollywood studios. The invisible benefits they could enjoy hidden behind the curtains have now almost completely disappeared. Even many media are deciding that it will not take too long for the professional film critic industry to gradually collapse.

Even if they are unwilling to accept it, they are unable to change all this.

In the eyes of these people, Ryan, who holds a large amount of media resources, is the direct incentive. What they want to do most is to take advantage of the failure of a movie on the other party when they still have some influence and attack him the most fiercely.

So, they are waiting for this opportunity to appear.

However, before the film critics waited for Ryan's movie to be released, they first welcomed a movie that surprised everyone in Hollywood, a super epic war masterpiece with a more miserable reputation and box office than "King Arthur".

On the first day of October, "Alexander the Great" spent $155 million on production and threw away $60 million in publicity costs, officially landed in North American theaters. Warner executives who had just held a celebration party for "Wonder Woman" almost vomited blood this time. They fully realized the miserable feelings of Sony Columbia Pictures on "King Arthur".

On the first three days of the week, "Alexander the Great" only won a box office of US$16.78 million in 3,445 North American theaters!

This is not a literary film or a cult niche film, but a super big production with a total investment of more than $200 million. Such investment and the first week's box office ratio almost indicates that the movie will definitely lose all its money.

This is true. In the second week, while keeping the number of theaters unchanged, the North American box office of "Alexander the Great" fell directly to US$6.18 million. Many theater vendors withdrew from the ranks of screenings and chose the upcoming "Argo", so that the number of theaters in "Alexander the Great" quickly dropped to more than 2,100 in the third week.

As for box office, as of October 15, "Alexander the Great" spent a full half month to earn a pitiful $31.1 million in the North American market.
