Rebirth In Hollywood

"The latest news from the TV station, the political thriller "Argo", written and starred by Ryan Jenkins and directed by George Clooney, has released a new poster today, featuring a close-up of Ryan's frowning face. The poster also reads— - The movie is fake, the action is real - After the film's audition was held not long ago, it was well received by the participants, and was even considered by many media as a favorite to compete for the Oscar."

After entering mid-September, the promotion of "Argo" has reached its final stage. Although the publicity budget is limited, the major media under Disney and the online media in which Ryan is a shareholder can still see this film everywhere. news and advertising.

"Based on true historical events, 'Argo' - a big lie and an incredible plan!"

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

Signage posters, entertainment lace, online advertisements, viral videos, just like past movies, Ryan has never been vague in movie promotion. The last period before the release of "Argo" is definitely the most critical stage of publicity.

Although he rarely plays in person now, George Clooney took Robert Downey Jr., Alan Arkin, John Goodman and others to and fro between various announcements, and even the prototype character Antonio Mende Z has personally entered the battle.

Ryan has fulfilled his promise to him. Just before the movie is about to be released, his memoir of the same name "Argo" was officially published, and entered both the physical and e-book markets at the same time. "The Hunger Games" and "The Da Vinci Code" are incomparable, but they also sparked a frenzy of panic buying. After all, it records many classified events that the CIA has not known to the public even after it has been declassified.

The small craze triggered by the memoir has also increased the public's expectations for the film.

The entire promotion plan of the film is in charge of the professional team. Still proceeding in an orderly manner.

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

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

"The three posters not only exposed the shapes of the three protagonists Ryan Jenkins, John Goodman, and Alan Arkin, but the three posters are more logically related."

"From 'Our purpose is just to make a movie' on the first poster, to 'The movie is just a cover' on the second poster, to 'Hollywood movies provide a storyline' on the third poster, with a The big plan'. The three giants' well-thought-out and meticulously planned rescue plans are unveiled, and a rescue operation of high-IQ hostages is ready to go.

"

The investment in the film itself is limited, and it is impossible to achieve the overwhelming publicity bombardment like the "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter" series, and all the plans are extremely targeted. Especially the trailer, which was not released until the end of September.

"Argo's first trailer, Ryan's new work focuses on CIA secrets!"

"Yahoo Entertainment News, Ryan's self-written and acted political thriller "Argo" has revealed its first trailer today. The political thriller mode is not to be mentioned, regardless of the retro character modeling, the graininess of the picture and the famous songs of the old rock band'' The music for the occasion brought us into the background of the story in the 1970s..."

After the trailer is out, either release the trailer '' above. On the message board of Ryan's personal official website, many people expressed their expectations for the film.

"A must see!"

"Extremely looking forward to it!"

"It feels like a good movie."

"Ryan's self-written and acted films have always been synonymous with quality!"

Taking advantage of the attention the trailer attracted, Disney added another fire to it, not only announcing that Antonio Mendez and a number of retired CIA dignitaries would attend the premiere. Also sent out invitations to Ken Taylor and his wife and then US President Jimmy Carter.

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

Of course, the Ken Taylors readily accepted the invitation, and Jimmy Carter did not respond.

"Countless movies are inspired by real events. This movie is about what actually happened."

Ryan also accepted an interview with his own media and talked about the film in front of the TV camera lens, "If the story of "Argo" seems to be out of reality. The audience will not buy it. But the chronological illusion is built for the audience , and for me, Argo is all about telling a story..."

He then praised the important role Canada played in the rescue incident in the interview. In any case, such a bizarre incident can only happen between the United States and Canada, although the film portrays the United States Heroes, in fact, Canadians played a more role in the incident. It is not a big deal to say a few words of praise for them, and it can also reduce some subsequent troubles.

Then, according to the prior arrangement, the reporter raised some small questions about the rescue incident, and Ryan responded accordingly.

"In 1977, the first Star Wars movie was born, and it was a sensation. Movies, books, toys, costumes, it was like a storm swept the entire United States, and internationally, it was also a big event. These mysterious sci-fi movies were at that time. Movies that people are doing with enthusiasm, and for everyone in the world, it’s like another revolution.”

"Those ardent and determined guards of the Islamic revolution will also come up with sci-fi stories and let their guard down, which is why I really fell in love with this story, Hollywood has always played an important role in our country and our lives. character, isn't it?"

Finally, the reporter asked why he still maintains such enthusiasm for acting in movies despite his wealth.

"Interests and hobbies, I like the feeling of playing different roles." The rumors about him quitting the actor's ranks have not stopped over the years, and Ryan also responded.

"Of course there has to be a story that I like. Sometimes I feel that I am too young and I don't have enough experience. After making some movies, it may be okay, but it is still fur. There are still many things I don't understand, and I have not Enough stuff to prove something, but I will wake up early in the morning and work hard all day, I don't know if I am really more talented than others, but I know I can work harder and harder.

"I've loved this business since I was sensible," he said.

After the interview about Ryan was broadcast, the public's expectations for the film were greatly increased. After all, he has brought so many wonderful works in the past.

This kind of story exudes strong positive energy and trust in the country, and sings a clear CIA anthem, showing how CIA agents set up deceptions, battle wits, and save hostages from crisis. Anyone who participated in the preview The mainstream media of the conference all sang praises to the film.

Contrary to the treatment of mainstream media and even emerging online media, Disney did not invite any professional film critics at all when it held a screening meeting, completely ignoring the industry.

Although veteran film critics who are accustomed to the past are very indignant, they have to admit that after the face-to-face rebuttal between David Dembey and Ryan, their group's influence on the film industry is like sitting on the ground. Like a roller coaster, it slides straight down.

It's not just the younger and younger mainstream audience who ignore them, but also the major Hollywood studios. The hidden benefits they used to enjoy behind the curtain are now almost completely gone. Even many media Everyone is arguing that it will not take too long, and the industry of professional film critics will gradually collapse.

Even if they are unwilling, they are powerless to change all this.

In the eyes of these people, Ryan, who has massive media resources in his hands, is the direct incentive. What they want to do most is to take advantage of the failure of a certain movie of the other party while they still have so much influence. Launch one of the most violent attacks.

So, they are waiting, waiting for this opportunity to arise.

However, film critics did not wait for Ryan's film to be released, and they first ushered in a film that shocked everyone in Hollywood, a super epic war masterpiece with a worse reputation and box office than "King Arthur".

On the first day of October, "Alexander the Great", which Warner Bros. spent $155 million to produce and threw away $60 million in promotional expenses, officially landed in North American theaters, and just held a celebration party for "Wonder Woman". Warner Bros. executives almost vomited blood this time. They fully realized the miserable feeling of Sony Columbia Pictures in "King Arthur".

On the first three days, "Alexander the Great" only got a box office of 16.78 million US dollars in 3445 North American theaters!

This is not a literary film and a cult niche film, but a super production with a total investment of more than 200 million US dollars. The ratio of such investment to the box office in the first week almost indicates that this film will definitely lose everything.

This is exactly the case. In the second week, while keeping the number of theaters unchanged, the North American box office of "Alexander the Great" dropped directly to 6.18 million US dollars. "Argo" was released, so that the number of theaters in the third week of "Alexander the Great" quickly fell to more than 2,100.

As for the box office, before the release of "Argo" on October 15th, "Alexander the Great" took a full half a month to harvest a pitiful more than 31.1 million US dollars in the North American market.

Epic war movies inevitably hit a low point. (To be continued..) ()
