Chapter 647 Hollywood Scam

Nicole didn't answer, but turned the notebook to him. Ryan couldn't help scratching his head when he saw the report from the British Guardian quoted by Yahoo Entertainment.

Iran being demonized by Hollywood? Iranian people being demonized by 'Argo'?

This is the title of the article, but the news is also not written by the Guardian, they are quoting an article from Middle East Online a few days ago.

With the popularity of Argo in North America and its appearance in overseas film markets including Qatar and Saudi Arabia, it was inevitable that the Iranian government would take notice.

Honey, I only saw the headline. Nicole was obviously interested in the news, and said with a smile, Can you read it out for me to listen to?.

no problem.

Ryan also anticipated this situation, and after reading it roughly, he said in the most concise words, The Iranian government... Well, the Iranian Minister of Culture, on behalf of the government, made a formal protest against Argo and myself.

After he drank the lipstick tea and moistened his throat, he continued, They said that 'Argo' made Iranians extremely vulnerable, irrational, crazy and cruel, while Americans were 'kind and innocent', CIA The agents are even more righteous and full of heroism, which is advertising the CIA and spreading 'Iranophobia' around the world.

Any more?. Nicole had already laughed, obviously like Ryan, she didn't care much at all.

Shrugging his shoulders, Ryan added, That's roughly the way it is. They say this film has seriously slandered Iran's national image and distorted the real situation of the Iranian hostage crisis.

What do you think about this? Nicole put away her smile and asked seriously, Do you need to respond?.

What do they do? Ryan waved his hand indifferently. Our films and products simply cannot enter the Iranian market. Even if they appear there, 99% of them are pirated. Otherwise, I would also I wouldn't choose such a movie.

Even though he said that, Ryan still took this matter in his heart and told the people below to pay attention. What he could not have imagined was that with the North American box office of Argo exceeding 100 million, more and more countries will take this matter into consideration. The film was included in the introduction plan, and the Iranian government responded strongly.

Iran's Ministry of Culture held a press conference in Tehran, and Minister Javid Shamadary took aim directly at Ryan, under the lines of Ryan Jenkins and George Clooney. Iran has been portrayed as a 'dangerous, Weird and scary' country; Iranians are also brazenly portrayed as fanatics, terrorists, uncivilized and female abusers.

Tourists who want to travel to Iran fear being killed or arrested as spies. Iran is already one of the most misrepresented and misunderstood countries in the world.

Plus, Hollywood is sure to get shot.

For more than 20 years, Hollywood has learned nothing new and is steeped in self-aggrandizement and American heroism, and its collective identity is formed when it consistently distorts the image of Iranians in its films.

Hollywood is probably the only Western institution at the forefront of the 'war on terror', and in one of the movies it throws out, it's along pretty much the same lines as the U.S. government. That is, the simple dualism of good and evil, which formulately portrays Image of Iran!

Finally, the Minister of Culture announced that in the following week. The Iranian government will hold a 'Hollywood Hoax' conference in Tehran, hoping to invite Ryan and George Clooney himself to the conference.

Neither Ryan nor George Clooney expected the Iranian government's reaction to be so drastic, but they weren't in the mood to attend the so-called 'Hollywood Scam' conference, and they didn't care much about it. Anyway, no matter how cheerful the Iranians are, there is still the federal government in front of them.

Perhaps it was because of Ryan's terrifying influence in the world, or because Argo really hit the Iranian government's sore foot. In addition, tour groups from many countries have recently cancelled their plans to travel to Tehran. The Iranian government has shown the fastest efficiency. In less than a week, the Hollywood Scam conference kicked off in Tehran.

According to a message from CNN, General Assembly Secretary Lesani claimed, The Islamic Republic of Iran intends to prosecute all those active in the anti-Iran field, including Argo director George Clooney and producer Ryan Jenkins.

At the same time, in order to fight back, the Ministry of Literature and Art Administration of Iran will cast a film called General Staff within this year to tell the hostage incident from another angle.

The Iranians didn't just protest verbally, they took substantive action, and they hired a lawyer of Middle Eastern descent from the UK to attend the convention.

The young female lawyer named Aymo Alamuddin was interviewed by a Canadian media after the meeting, saying that she took up the case in order to defend Iran's interests and would do her best, Help the world understand the true condition of Iranians.

After Aymo Alamuddin returned to the UK, she told the British Guardian who came to interview that she would file a lawsuit in the UK on behalf of the Iranian government, accusing some Hollywood directors and producers of 'distorting history' and applying the law The terms are 'persons who cause losses to others are liable'.

Later, she told AFP reporters that Iran did not ask for a ban on Argo, but only wanted Ryan and George Clooney to issue a statement acknowledging that the situation described in the film did not match the facts.

The Iranian government is obviously not stupid. It is impossible for this movie to be released in Iran and banned worldwide? Do they have this ability? Apart from Libya and several dictatorships such as Venezuela, who will answer their call?

As for making a statement, Ryan hadn't even thought about it, his head wasn't flooded yet.

However, George? Clooney has called, of course, he also does not want to make a statement.

Ryan, Aymo Alamuddin...the lawyer representing the Iranian government, sent me a lawyer's letter, wanting to interview me and my lawyer, didn't you receive it?.

Ryan also received it, but he didn't plan to go. He suddenly had a good idea and said to the phone, George, this is a good opportunity. You are responsible for getting the female lawyer, and I will do the rest.

Fix that female lawyer? The other party obviously didn't understand what he meant.

George, you are one of the most attractive men in Hollywood. Ryan said completely unreliable words, It's not easy to deal with a female lawyer with a handsome man.

After saying these jokes, Ryan hung up the phone, but seriously thought about it. This matter is no longer an entertainment event. With the announcement of one after another protest by the Iranian government, it has risen to a social and political level. Although With the federal government in front, he always had to prepare.

There seem to be many Iranians who were forced to emigrate in North America, and many of the hostages who were taken hostage back then are still alive...

He quickly dialed George's number.

Although the media in North America are reporting on this matter, the mainstream media, in addition to relaying news from the Middle East, have all responded with a sarcastic attitude towards the Iranian government. The media that boast Anglo-Saxon control are no exception, and they have a common interest in this matter.

In addition, whether online or in reality, a large number of American people expressed their support for Ryan. Even when the Iranians held the 'Hollywood Scam' conference, tens of thousands of Ryan's supporters held up various slogans. , gathered on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to protest the Iranians' smearing of the United States against Hollywood and Ryan.

Brainwashing is not only a skill that the Soviet Union and other countries are good at. The United States is no exception. After decades of shaping by the federal government and mainstream media, Iran is an out-and-out hostile and evil country in the eyes of most American people. .

Things have intensified, and Argo has become the biggest beneficiary. After the latest North American box office release, the film's weekly box office suddenly soared to more than 39.5 million US dollars, and the total weekly box office in overseas markets also surged to more than 41 million. dollars, thereby pushing the film's global box office past the $200 million mark.

This film, which is basically non-controversial in North America, has become hot due to the controversy caused by overseas.

That's good too.

Hiding in a winery in the Napa Valley, Ryan told Nicole, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, “The louder the opposition on the Iranian side, the more likely it is that Argo will be the best picture at next year’s Oscars.

Politics has never been far from movies, from Hollywood, from Oscars.

If the whole Islamic world slams you. Nicole frowned, not without worry. She didn't expect things to turn out the way they are now. It will have some impact on your reputation.

Don't worry, dear.

This is one of his closest people, Ryan won't hide it from Nicole, he paced and said, It's just a fight anyway, don't forget, we control one of the most influential media and media groups in the world. one.

He shrugged, Scott has already had a phone call with the White House, and the mainstream media will only make the same voice when it comes to matters that concern the United States, and I have asked some people to come out and they will Have a good confrontation with the Iranian government.

Let's divert the attention of the Iranians to the federal government.

Anyway, George Bush took so much blame for those big groups behind the scenes, so he let the Washington authorities and the Iranian government fight.

No one has done less than the other when the two sides splashed black water on each other. I am afraid no one can say clearly who was mainly responsible for the hostage incident back then. (To be continued...) ()
