Chapter 720: It's my
The interview program on Fox TV had long since ended, the TV had been turned off, and no sound could be heard in the living room, and Daisy stood motionless, her white face under her short blond hair, as cold as the ice and snow that had not melted in Antarctica, and could freeze the whole house at any time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Traitor!" Daisy had only one thought in her head, "Murphy Stanton is a traitor!" ”
More than ten years ago, when she was just a sixteen-year-old girl, she was madly obsessed with his movies, and then madly admired his dark and evil thoughts, he spent ten years with her, and she also accompanied him for ten years, she admired him so much, thinking that he was her own faith......
It wasn't until this moment that Daisy realized she was wrong.
Her original intention has remained the same for ten years, but Murphy, who has gone from an unknown newcomer to a super director, has changed.
He is no longer crazy, no longer dark, no longer evil, no longer maverick, he has become like everyone else in Hollywood, without a mind, without a soul......
If that's all it takes, then forget it, anyway, now that she has a new faith, it's a big deal to be a passerby in the future, but he openly accused her on the TV show, this is not a traitor, what is it?
He betrayed the original idea, betrayed the dark mind, betrayed the evil nature, and more importantly, betrayed the ...... She!
Thinking of this, Daisy's heart throbbed, that kind of spiritual pain, that kind of loss abandoned by her own beliefs, it was more painful than breaking bones and cutting flesh, it was even more uncomfortable, and it made her crazy!
Daisy felt her body tremble inexplicably, she couldn't stand anymore, squatted on the ground, her hands were supporting the floor, she opened her mouth to make a retching sound, and two lines of tears slowly flowed down her white cheeks.
She crouched here, tears dripping down, the pain in her heart flowing with tears, and the worship of Murphy in the past also flowed.
I don't know how long it took, Daisy's tears were almost all gone, she finally felt a lot better, the two hands that were propped up on the floor with a little force, slowly stood up, and then raised her hand to wipe the last teardrops from the corners of her eyes, and the expression on her face hardened little by little, as if she had completely turned into a cold stone.
"I have been betrayed!" She muttered to herself, "I've been betrayed ......"
Muttering a few words, Daisy turned and walked towards the basement, muttering to herself as she went, "Traitors must pay!" The cost of life! ”
She walked through the hallway to the entrance to the basement, unlocked the mechanical lock on the door, and walked down the stairs, one step at a time, each unusually slow and heavy.
Entering the basement, Daisy glanced up at the huge magician's picture frame on the wall, "Only you don't change, you're mine...... Faith! ”
She went to a corner of the basement and rummaged through the shelves to find a huge poster of Murphy that she had pasted to her home.
Daisy unfolded the poster and saw Murphy Stanton with a faint smile on it, and her eyes instantly became extremely sharp.
"Traitor!" A sentence unconsciously popped out of her mouth, "Damn...... Traitor! ”
Resisting the urge to shred the poster, Daisy taped it to the basement wall, pulled out a bright red lipstick, and wrote the words "traitor" on the poster.
She stood across from the poster and looked at it for a moment, then raised the hand holding the lipstick again, and painted a red "X" symbol on Murphy Stanton's head on the poster!
In this case, let that black, crazy and evil Murphy live in his memory!
After the TV interview, although the controversy and criticism of "Dark City" are still loud, but Murphy's fans, who only fought back sporadically before, have united, how can scattered attacks compare to the overall battle, a large number of voices supporting Murphy and "Dark City" quickly appeared on the Internet, plus the media under Twentieth Century Fox and News Corporation, public opinion was divided into two factions for a while.
Led by some pro-Catholic media, a faction frantically criticized Murphy and "The Dark City", and even Hollywood movies and their self-censorship; The other faction is firmly on the side of Murphy and the film industry.
In particular, the media, which is linked to the big six companies in Hollywood, is faintly on Murphy's side after some of Archbishop Márquez-Costello's remarks came to light.
To a certain extent, they shared interests with Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox, and with the Hollywood film industry developing to its current boom, no one wanted to let the church get involved.
Who likes to make money and be making money when someone suddenly jumps out and puts a pair of handcuffs on him that restricts his freedom of movement?
Murphy also commissioned a professional research firm to find out the public's opinion, to be more precise, the position of ordinary people.
The results of the survey were quickly fed back to Murphy, and of the more than 6,000 people the survey company immediately asked from the streets and alleys of major cities across the United States, nearly 85 percent of them were surprisingly unanimous in their opinion - it's my business!
To be more detailed, after the shooting at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood and the subsequent murder in the park, as well as when the media frantically criticized "Dark City", how to eat, how to drink, how to sleep, how to play or how to play, these are just some after-dinner conversations, and they are just standing aside as pure bystanders to watch the excitement.
As for "Dark City" or the so-called negative effects of Hollywood movies? These people don't care at all.
How to think and how to do it are fundamentally different things, many times it is not the head that determines a person's position, but the position where the butt sits, such as the Catholic Church, why did they hold on to this incident, just because there were Catholics among the victims?
It is impossible to say that things like movies can't affect society, just as movies themselves are deeply affected by the social environment, and popular movies will in turn affect society.
Gradually, many mainstream media quietly sided with Murphy.
"At no time should cinema abandon the promotion of mainstream values, which have nothing to do with ideology and have universal values, and cinema should not become an aspirin that paralyzes the audience to ignore reality, nor should it become a formalin that keeps the dark and rotten dark side of the audience's hearts fresh."
"The most fascinating quality of the film is that she can create a dream world for people, forget their troubles for a while, and find their own happiness and satisfaction in the unreal world."
"Of course, this joy and satisfaction cannot be built on the pain of others."
"It's too much to make movies pay for real social phenomena."
When Archbishop Márquez-Costello and the Catholic Church revealed their Hollywood ambitions, many media outlets suddenly shifted their stance from their previous bashing of Murphy to supporters.
Most of these media outlets come from NBCUniversal, News Corp., Walt Disney, Kongscart and even Time Warner, and they all have a common characteristic: they all have a powerful Hollywood film production and distribution company, and perhaps if you look at the box office alone, these studios are insignificant in the huge industrial composition of these media groups, but they are the most important content providers, and it is with these contents that the media groups will spawn a larger industrial group.
For example, Walt Disney and Time Warner are the most representative companies.
But the controversy over "Dark City" has not stopped, and some of the forces behind the media do not want to stop there.
"What is scary about Murphy Stanton and his work is that you can feel the great incendiary nature of the film, it arouses everyone's sense of rebellion against the established social rules, and the audience often sees that at the end they will start to expect the villain to kill the positive characters, and the positive characters have become the biggest obstacle to the social revolution, and these villains have become the heroes who smash the state apparatus, causing people to follow suit."
That's pretty good, and some of the remarks are directed at Murphy himself.
"Only a crazy director like Murphy Stanton in this world can create a perverted antisocial type character like Magician, and thus produce a crazy killer who imitates Magician!"
There are also some so-called well-informed people who revealed to the media, "Murphy Stanton is also saying in private that so many things have happened, and I don't know whether to blame the murderer or myself......"
Public opinion is often the vanguard of some actions!
With the second phase of murder, the situation became more and more complicated, and even some moral organizations and religious people appeared in front of the Fox Building in Century City and near the Wave Manor in Beverly Hills after the Independence Day holiday, not only holding various slogans and flags to protest, but also suggesting that the federal government force "The Dark City" to be taken down.
It's very difficult for these so-called organizations to really do anything, but no one can ignore their ability to wreak havoc.
In particular, religious organizations dominated by the Catholic Church, even though they have little influence in south-central California, have a large number of believers, and it is not difficult to gather hundreds or even thousands of devout followers to run in front of Murphy's house to protest.
Despite the pressure, Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox would not agree to their unreasonable request to get "Dark City" out of the game early, and they didn't even think about it.
And those people are not only for "The Dark City", but also for Murphy to apologize publicly, especially to the Catholic Church, to reflect on his own filmmaking philosophy and what he has done in the past to slander Catholicism.
Faced with this complicated situation, the Stanton party, who had been filming all over the world, rushed back to Los Angeles to support Murphy in various forms.
