Rebirth In Hollywood

As early as 1997, then-President Bill Clinton deleted the incident from the classified archives, and the CIA completely declassified it on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary, and then there were some relevant news in the media, detailed in detail. The content has never been officially announced.

After entering October, the "Los Angeles Times" published a report on the rescue incident of that year on an important page.

"The attack on the embassy can be said to have shaken the world, and no one knows how to respond to the situation and current situation of the hostages held in custody, especially the few who escaped and went into hiding. Their problems seem to require It's more subtle tricks, because it's unlikely that they will be rescued through diplomatic channels."

"With each passing day, the risk of them being discovered increases by one point, and in the end, the burden falls on Antonio Mendez, the special agent responsible for escaping the enemy camp, to find a way to bring them back to the United States, and The former legendary agent, together with several friends in Hollywood, jointly established a production company called Sixth Studio. As a Canadian producer, he entered the crisis-ridden Tehran under the pretext of shooting a sci-fi movie... "

Although some news has been circulating before, the public is basically unknown about the incident. After the report came out, Antonio Mendez became the focus of many media attention.

The retired legendary operative enjoyed being a celebrity, and the post-9/11 CIA desperately needed a great spokesperson.

Subsequently, under the joint instigation of the CIA and Walt Disney, Antonio Mendez entered the TV station and accepted an interview with Antonia Kidman on the "Annie Talk Show" program, and shared with the public the bizarre incidents of the year. experience.

He said, "It's a rescue story that few people know about, and it represents a relatively difficult time in history -- people only know that six Americans escaped unscathed with the help of Canadians, but It was not until a few years ago that this classified document was completely unsealed, and everyone realized that it turned out that it was all behind the scenes, and through an unusually bold plan, they found a safe way for six Americans to return home. the road."

"I was good friends with a famous Hollywood makeup artist, so I learned that this is how people who make movies travel the world in order to check and evaluate different locations and choose the right one for their film. The filming location. This is obviously a very feasible idea and opportunity, so to save the compatriots who are trapped in Tehran. I think it is completely feasible to take such an escape plan that no one has thought of before.”

"It's a game with no rules, we have to take huge risks, and the biggest uncertainty here is that we have to play with a bunch of capricious Iranians, figure out a way to get past them, and then Stay away from them - we have no way of knowing what will happen to us if we are caught unfortunately,

Including those hostages. It is bound to be implicated by us. "

"I've never felt that there was anything unusual about being tied to Hollywood, because for an agent like me, sometimes a plan is implemented. It worked, even though it seemed a little weird."

This interview is not just about creating a legendary hero. It is also to promote the adapted film, and the following topic naturally turned to the film aspect, and Antonio Mendez also talked about this aspect.

"When Ryan and representatives from Disney came to me. My first reaction was... what? Is my story going to be made into a movie? Or the famous Ryan Jenkins? Maybe he wants to be in it? Me? It turned out to be even better than I imagined. Ryan not only wanted to play the role of me back then, but also named the movie after the fake movie, and even changed the name of the location of the crew's office to No. 6 studio……"

"The Sixth Studio is the film company that was established at the beginning. Although it has only existed for a few weeks, it has received scripts from many people, some of whom are still current big directors..."

After the program was broadcast, it caused a strong response from the public. The mainstream media in North America followed up on the secret rescue incident that year, setting off a wave of enthusiasm.

At the same time, many Hollywood veterans were also asked by reporters about the original situation of the Sixth Studio when they were interviewed, and many of them still have relevant memories.

In particular, Steven Spielberg, facing the camera lens of reporters, not only said that he remembered that "Vanity Fair" and "Hollywood Reporter" promoted "Argo" and its behind-the-scenes company, but also mentioned that he once told Sixth System The past when the studio delivered the script.

"Argo" has not yet officially launched, it has attracted the attention of countless people.

As a typical cultural and entertainment product, movies need massive publicity. Ryan has never spared no effort in publicity, and those propaganda methods that go astray may occasionally succeed, but they are destined to never become the mainstream of the market.

Frequently in and out of the Warners set, Ryan inevitably encounters reporters, and he also accepts interviews.

"In fact, I've been on the lookout for a great story for the past few years, and now I know I've found it, so I didn't hesitate to bring this event to the big screen."

This is to promote his film, Ryan said without hesitation, "After reading the draft of Mr. Mendez's memoir, I was really attracted, especially for Antonio Mendez. interest - what I want to know is what kind of person he is, who can, after making such a plan, carry out it."

"If I had done this script with an original concept, I think people would have said, 'No one will believe these things actually happened', but Mr Mendez has managed to convince the federal government that together they It's trying to imagine wilder imaginations than Hollywood itself."

"I know that this thing does sound very absurd, even ridiculous, but it is also an indisputable fact - but I can still understand this situation, because it all sounds so unreal, It's just too dreamy and unbelievable to have nothing to believe."

Ryan naturally understands how to be welcomed by mainstream voices. "Behind these very heroic and daring acts is actually a legend full of humanity - even if these people are in a desperate situation without any hope, they are They're not going to sit still, they're still trying to figure out how to do their best to reverse that disadvantage."

"It's also one of the proudest places in our country!"

Of course, when the reporter asked the film director, Ryan did not forget to brag a few words for George Clooney.

"George Clooney has an amazing talent for grasping the story, especially the understanding of how the camera works, which can be said to be very extreme... Besides, as a filmmaker, he The perspective and point of view that he plans to take also have a very strong presence, and I think this is the most important talent, he has his own style and perception."

Shortly after his interview was reported by the media, George Clooney, the director, was equally vigorous in publicity when he was interviewed.

"That happened when I was eighteen, and I still remember the hostage incident clearly, but it wasn't until I saw Ryan's script outline and Mr. Mendez's memoir that I realized the truth behind it was It's like this, and I think it all makes for a compelling film story - I immediately felt obligated to make it a visual representation, and Ryan clearly thinks the same way I do!"

"Yes! Such an honor! I'm so excited to be working with such a great actor and producer as Ryan, this job has been a treat for me, and I'm sure Argo will be one of the best in a fact-based film classic!"

The news about Ryan and Ryan's movies has never lacked attention, and there is almost no need to do deliberate public relations. The major media will treat it as the headline of the entertainment version, and Disney's from the Internet to the TV station to the print media. , and also constantly launch some latest reports on the crew in due course.

In particular, the makeup video of several main actors of the crew was released. Robert Downey Jr., who just got out of the drug swirl, wore a large toad mirror and had long beetle hair, typical of the United States in the 1970s. man in attire.

Most notable was Ryan, who followed the advice of Antonio Mendez, with light brown hair dyed dark brown and a thick beard attached...

On the message board below the video, in just two days, there were as many as thousands of messages, and most people expressed their expectations for "Argo".

"It's so fitting to have a legend play a legendary hero, it's a role made for Ryan!"

"Captain America became an uncle in an instant, Ryan once again challenged a difficult role..."

"This is a story that records history, and every piece of the past is worth remembering! Looking forward to reviewing this legendary past with Ryan!"

In the vigorous publicity and the expectations of the media and the public, the "Argo" crew officially started in front of the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills in mid-October, and actors including Ryan appeared in the first scene. , attracted numerous reporters to flock to. (To be continued..) ()
