Rebirth In Hollywood

It is generally consistent with the mainstream society and safeguarding the interests of the interests of the class. This is what almost all the rich people in the United States do. Ryan is no exception. With his current position, Iran is the enemy, not to mention that by smearing Iran, he can still Get huge benefits.

In the denunciation of Iran in North America, the Jenkins Film Foundation under his name announced that it would invest in two Iranian-themed films, directed by the Iranian female cartoonist and illustrator Maja Shatabi who is now living in Paris. "I grew up in Iran" and "A Parting" by Asghar Farhadi, the Iranian director who was expelled by the Iranian government.

As for the subject matter of the film, it must be closely related to the reality of Iranian society.

The former, through the eyes of a precocious and outspoken girl, reveals that during the Islamic Revolution in Iran, when fundamentalists took power, Iranians' hopes were dashed, women were forced to wear the veil, tens of thousands of people were thrown into prison, she He was eventually forced to leave his hometown for France to pursue an optimistic and bright future.

The latter will show the entanglement of contemporary Iranians in family and religious life, insinuating and criticizing the status quo of Iran's hierarchical religious society, especially focusing on the situation of Iranian women.

In addition to the Jenkins Film Foundation, Warner Bros., Disney Studios and Paramount Pictures will all be involved in the investment, production and distribution of the film, and the federal government will also apply for a special sponsorship to cover part of the cost of the two films buy order.

As early as the mid-1990s, Ryan had chosen his position, and would continue to insist on discrediting Iranian propaganda even for the benefit of him and the entire group represented by him.

As a famous Iranian director who was first imprisoned and then deported, Asghar Farhadi was even pushed by the forces behind him on Oprah's talk show, telling the world about the dangers of insisting on creating in Iran .

"Mr. Farhadi, after you finished filming "About Ellie", you were banned from filming by the Iranian government, and you were thrown into prison for a time, and finally forced to leave your hometown. You should know very well which film genres are not allowed to touch in Iran. of?"

"There are many subjects that are not allowed, such as dissent on culture, politics, violence or sex scenes. This is why it is difficult for Iranian films to develop. Iranian filmmakers are always looking for suitable expressions. .We have no way to defeat the censorship system, we can only insist on creating in the cracks.”

"When you were in Iran, would you rather risk being put in jail to have the freedom to make a movie?"

"I'm not a hero, I'm not a politician, I'm just a filmmaker. I just want to be able to say it through film when I have something to say. If I had to choose, I'd rather be free to create without taking risks. . . But in Iran, that's clearly not possible."

same.

Maja Shatabi has also been interviewed by many Western media, and one of them was repeatedly hyped by the North American media.

"I just want to pass this work so that people don't forget those Iranians who lost their lives in prison, tortured under various tyranny, or forced to leave their loved ones and their homeland defending their freedom in Iran!"

For the Western media, the other words of the two Iranian art workers living abroad are not important. Just these two paragraphs are enough for them to prove to the Western people what a terrible country Iran is now.

Although the conversation sparked by the movie has turned to current affairs and politics, "Three Hundred Spartans", like "Argo," is sure to be one of the biggest winners of this storm.

by the end of August. The film still maintains a weekly box office revenue of nearly 15 million US dollars, the North American box office is gradually approaching 250 million US dollars, and the global box office is infinitely approaching 450 million US dollars, with such a development momentum. The final North American box office is expected to hit 300 million US dollars, and it is almost certain that the global box office will exceed 500 million US dollars.

In the words of the media, as an investor, Nicole Kidman can lie on the floor full of dollars and count the bills.

When the North American theatrical line's first $50 million split came to fruition, Nicole set up a trust for Sandy. She clearly told Ryan that she hoped her daughter could grow up and live happily in the future, not like her father. Often troubled by the entanglement of interests.

In this regard, Ryan did not express an opinion. She has to choose her own future path for her daughter.

Similarly, he also set up a trust fund for Sandy, and transferred the shares and future dividends of several it companies such as Apple and Microsoft, which are only in the name of another foundation, into this trust fund. .

The international situation is turbulent, the powder keg in the Middle East has a tendency to detonate again, and Iran faces sanctions from the international community. These are almost the themes of August.

Maybe it was sanctions from the international community, maybe it was the increasingly loud domestic opposition, or maybe it really wanted to change the country’s image. After entering September, the Iranian government gradually calmed down. There are rumors that Iranian diplomats in the United States veiled to the federal government that Ahmadinejad would like to make an official visit to the United States next year to ease the cultural and ideological conflict between the two countries.

When the truth of these rumors was not known, the Iranian Ministry of Culture suddenly issued a statement, hoping to invite representatives of the American Film Institute and Hollywood celebrities including Ryan, Spielberg, George Clooney and other Hollywood celebrities to visit Iran and let them see through their own eyes , to observe a real Iran.

"You wouldn't really want to accept the Iranian government's invitation, would you?"

Charlize Theron, who just came back from South Africa yesterday, put down the fashion magazine in his hand, and looked worriedly at Ryan who was holding an invitation, "Middle East...Ryan, you'd better not go."

"I didn't say I wanted to go."

Putting down the invitation letter forwarded by the Motion Picture Association of America, Ryan lay on his back in the rocking chair, looking at the stars above the terrace, and said, "The Motion Picture Association wants to organize a delegation, and Disney can just send a few representatives."

"I can rest assured that."

Taking a strawberry from the fruit bowl on the table, Charlize threw it to Ryan, "What the real Iran is like, it has nothing to do with us."

"Bingo~"

Ryan snapped his fingers, stuffed the strawberry into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Iran is now a dictatorship or a democratic society, which has no meaning to Hollywood. What Hollywood movies want to show will always be one that meets the needs of Hollywood's interests. Iran."

"Is it possible for this situation to change?" Charlize simply dragged the rattan chair and sat beside him. "Judging from the current rumors, the Iranian government seems to be making some changes."

"Let's put it this way." Ryan took Charlize's hand and gently drew a circle on her palm, "If the Iranian market is open to Hollywood films, it can bring in more than $500 million at the box office every year. Iran's image in China will improve immediately."

"But then," he added, "Iran would not be the Iran it is now."

"If I open a CT store to Iran..."

Charlize pulled the fruit plate closer, took a strawberry, bit off half of it, and stuffed the other half into Ryan's mouth, "Honey, can our fashion products have a foothold in Tehran?"

"Charlie, don't forget, your brand is mainly aimed at women." Ryan raised a finger and shook it, "It is not during the Pahlavi regime, it is impossible for Iranian women to appear on the street in fashion, Even if you buy it back, you can only wear it secretly at home."

"Well, I'm just thinking about it." She shrugged. "After the Islamic Revolution, Iran has become more insistent on Persian traditions."

"No, no, dear." Ryan shook his head slowly, "Conservative has nothing to do with the tradition of the Persians. Now Iran is extremely conservative. This is not the tradition of the Persians in the records."

Seeing the South African diamond showing a very interested appearance, Ryan continued, "Pahlavi is indeed a jerk, and he is not a qualified ruler, but when he was in power, Iran's traditional cultural characteristics were stronger, such as not adopting Instead of the red cross or red crescent, the traditional Persian red lion is used and recognized by the international community.”

"The puppet ruler even wanted to restore the glorious culture of ancient Persia, and made a lot of attempts at secularization, Persianization and de-Arabization in this regard, and once achieved some results. Although Iran's domestic conflicts were sharp at that time, there were still some cultural differences. Build a tree."

"It is said that the status of women was greatly improved at that time."

Hearing Charlize's words, Ryan nodded, "Unfortunately, Pahlavi is a puppet supported by the federal government. He has too many problems and is easily overthrown."

"What about Iran now?"

"Iran today, apart from the Arabicized Persian language, doesn't actually have much connection with Persia."

He opened his mouth and bit the strawberry that Charlize had put in, and Ryan said while chewing, "Also, from different positions, there will be different views. From the point of view of our interests, the Iranian government is promoting terrorism. autarchic government."

As for the truth, how many people in America would care?

"So..." Charlize's eyes rolled a few times quickly, "The Three Hundred Spartans will make a sequel?"

"Not for now." Ryan shook his head. "Zach Snyder and Frank Miller accepted the invitation from Warner Bros. to make Watchmen."

These two people can be said to be one of the people who benefited the most from "The Three Hundred Spartans". Zach Snyder showed his directorial talents to the whole Hollywood, and Frank Miller's cartoons became the attention of various film companies. selection of film adaptations.

"Dear, it's getting late." Ryan stood up and hugged Charlize directly, "It's time for us to rest."

"Aren't you crazy enough this afternoon?" Charlize took the initiative to kiss. (To be continued..) ()
