Chapter 642 Rescue is imperative

On October 15th, the premiere of "Argo" kicked off on time. Such a movie with a strong political color will naturally not be selected in Los Angeles, but will be placed in Washington, DC, the political center of the United States... Read the latest and most complete novels

Similarly, it was not only the media and Hollywood insiders who attended the premiere, but also many celebrities from politics. As Ryan had said before, politics has never been far away from movies.

The premiere was basically the same routine, red carpet, interviews, media photos, etc., but when Antonio Mendez and his retired wife of Cia agents, walked on the red carpet with Canadian ambassador Ken Taylor, who participated in the incident, tonight's premiere showed a unique side.

No matter what Antonio Mendez thinks himself, he has been portrayed as a hero by Disney and the CIA.

On this land, hero stories are often the most attractive works.

As soon as he entered the theater, a large number of people were surrounded by Ryan. These politicians, who were familiar or unfamiliar, greeted him warmly. In their eyes, Ryan, the owner of a large media group and one of the top richest people in North America, is naturally the goal they strive for.

Ryan cleverly dealt with it and would never make 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, Xiaopang had publicly expressed remarks in support of Kerry.

After dealing with these flies-like politicians, Ryan couldn't help but rub his forehead and walked towards the screening hall.

"Hi, Ryan."

"Hi, Tony."

Looking at Antonio Mendez who followed from behind, Ryan hugged him gently, "How does the red carpet feel?"

“I haven’t enjoyed such a warm applause in the past thirty years.”

After entering the screening room, Antonio Mendez gesturing and said, "Since you have increased the publicity, my peaceful life has been completely broken, do you know? Ryan, last weekend, a total of 600 people visited my house, and in just twenty minutes they ate all the food we prepared for the weekend."

"Enjoy it all, Tony!" Ryan patted his arm and walked towards the front row.

Since the release of the memoir of "Argo", the Mendez family's peaceful life has been completely broken. Disney's limousine has repeatedly brought the couple to Hollywood and New York, and the promotion of the film has pushed them into the public eye. Perhaps this is a completely unfamiliar field for these two former agents, but it is a great opportunity to become famous.

Most importantly, as an unknown person who has worked on the secret front for a long time, Antonio Mendez enjoys these "sweet worries" now.

Rain did not sit in the middle of the crew, but sat with some senior executives of the film company that attended the premiere. He had just sat down and heard the sound of Warner Bros. Gerald talking to people.

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

After a few chats between the two parties, Gerald mentioned "Alexander the Great", which is still being released and actually has a box office of more than 100,000 US dollars a day. "But I didn't expect the market response to this poorly. This is one of the most failed works in Warner Bros.'s history."

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

"There is no need to talk about why the movie is so bad. There is no coherence script, no spectacular scenes, and photography does not contribute beautiful pictures. Most importantly, the characters don't really show any characteristics, as ridiculous as puppets on the painting board."

This is a review by Ryan from the Internet a few days ago, which undoubtedly represents the views of most viewers on this video.

In any case, most North American audiences directly classified "Alexander the Great" as bad movies.

The impact of this film is huge. Many Hollywood film companies have canceled their epic film plans, and even Twentieth Century Fox is worried about the unfinished "Dynasty of Heaven".

After experiencing an unprecedented wave of war epics, this theme inevitably encountered a trough.

The theater lights went out one after another, and the big screen was illuminated by the picture. After the classic Disney opening flashed, the buzzing voice disappeared without a trace, and "Argo" opened the curtain.

"This is the Persian Empire, known today as Iran. Starting 2,500 years ago, kings ruled the land one by one, and the king was called Shah. In 1950, the Iranian people elected Mohamed Moshadha - a non-religious democrat - as prime minister, who nationalized Iranian oil controlled by Britain and the United States, and returned Iranian oil to the Iranian people..."

"But in 1953, Britain and the United States arranged a coup, ousting Moshadha and arranging Reza Pahlavi to become Shah. The young Shah spent money like a dirt, his wife was soaked in milk, and his lunch was airlifted from Paris by Concorde, and the Iranian people were starving. Shah maintained his power with cruel internal police, and an era that marked torture and horror began."

"Then he promoted the westernization of Iran and angered those religious conservatives. In 1979, the Iranian people overthrew Shah, and the exiled clergy Ayatollah Sayed Rukhola Khomeini returned to rule Iran. Then the country went through purge, death squads, fell into chaos, and Shah, who was about to take his life by cancer, found political asylum in the United States. The Iranian people marched outside the embassy and demanded that the United States hand over Shah, and they wanted to judge him and hang him."

With illustrations and video materials, the video quickly and concisely introduces the background of the story in a narration way.

The fanatical Iranians launched a huge demonstration in front of the US Embassy. The activities for many consecutive days and the condolences behind the scenes of some people finally took place a jaw-dropping scene in the history of international diplomacy.

Those Khomeini believers rushed into the US Embassy.

The scene at the beginning was not involved. George Clooney, as he said at the beginning, was full of the texture of the 1970s and 1980s. He specially selected an old 35mm film camera to shoot the entire scene. Even when shooting the parade crowd, he found an old super 8mm camera used for the news and video recordings of the 1970s. Using this antique-level equipment that has rarely been popular, he completed the shooting of most of the close-up parts of the characters.

The Iranians rushed into the embassy, ​​but the Americans could not wait for any support from the Iranian government. In desperation, they could only make the worst plans and start destroying the secret information in the embassy.

Just like the embassies of all countries in the world, there are always something shameful in these places.

For the sake of life safety, a limited number of American soldiers did not fire a gun and fired a limited amount of tear gas. The US State Department and the embassy were ongoing. However, they could not help this situation, and many American embassy staff could only become hostages in the hands of Iranians.

At this time of crisis, the six Americans in charge of the visa hall were lucky enough to escape from the back door of the embassy. The movie also showed a little about the great Americanism, such as asking the Iranians waiting for the visa to escape first, and they were in the back...

Although some people were taken in by embassies from other countries during the escape, the theme of the movie was not in this regard. At this time, they were simplified and they escaped into the Canadian Embassy and were taken in by Ken Taylor, then Canadian ambassador.

Ryan's script does not mention the issues in the UK and New Zealand, and they are both members of the five gay friends in the English-speaking area. There is no need to slander the other party in such a vague incident, and in the future, they will attract protests from the UK and New Zealand.

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 evil sources of the world in the minds of most Americans.

Therefore, the movie shows almost the fanatical country where everyone is a terrorist.

When Tony Mendez enters such a dangerous country alone, he just borrows this atmosphere to show his heroic temperament.

After the incident, the US State Department and the Washington authorities also came up with a series of measures, but there was no good solution. 69 days later, yellow ribbons and blessing slogans could be seen everywhere on the streets of Washington, but the hostage rescue incident did not make any progress.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to release Shah to exchange hostages. The United States has built more than this one of the puppets around the world. If he is given up on him, what will those little brothers think?

Compared to those who were caught as hostages in the embassy, ​​the six people who escaped were the real headache for the US government. Once they were caught, they were most likely facing the Iranian gallows.

Since it is a standard main theme movie, it must be that the US government will never give up on these six people. It will try every means to rescue them from Iran and return to China. The hero is also at the moment when it is time to appear.

Ryan plays Tony Mendez, a typical American outfit in the 1970s.

On his way to the CIA headquarters, whether it was the yellow ribbons flying on the roadside, the shouts of indignant people on the radio, or the slogans commemorating those who sacrificed their lives for the country in the lobby of CIA headquarters, they all promoted the theme of patriotism.

Rescue fell on the heads of the State Council and the CIA, and they faced huge difficulties.

Canada believed that the risk was too high and notified the US authorities to quickly pick up the six people. Khomeini's Islamic Guard summoned a large number of child laborers to splice images of American embassy personnel crushed by paper shredders...

Everything shows that rescue is imperative.

At a joint meeting attended by officials from the State Council and the Central Intelligence Agency, one fantasy rescue plan was ruthlessly broken by Tony, the rescue expert, with reality. All the pig teammates set off the protagonist's image, but Tony couldn't find a suitable solution for the time being.

Like all American heroes, Tony also faces some family problems. Although this is vulgar, it is a favorite plot for North American audiences.

On the phone call with his son, Tony got a prompt and saw the TV station's "The Battle of the Apes"... (To be continued...)
