Sitting on the sofa by the window, Father Márquez Costello and the others were a little impatient, and turned their heads to look out the window, the sky in Los Angeles was overcast, the winter sun was hiding in the thick clouds, and even the air had a cold feeling, which was not good.

Father Márquez Costello withdrew his gaze and looked inside instead.

The most striking feature of this Twentieth Century Fox reception room is the movie posters hanging on the walls, from which Father Márquez Costello can recognize famous films such as "Star Wars", "Alien", "Titanic" and "Avatar" even though he is not a movie lover.

There are a few more, which he is not very familiar with, but the director's position on the poster is all marked with Murphy Stanton, which is obviously a film directed by Murphy Stanton.

Thinking of the latest film of this young director that he had seen yesterday afternoon, Father Márquez Costello felt that Catholicism was so unbearable as he described!

Also, what happened in the eighties......

Father Márquez Costello shook his head vigorously, the name of the priest does not appear in the film, and the subtitles are only named after the Catholic Fathers, and no one knows which person he refers to.

Besides, thirty years have passed since the events of that year, and who will remember? Far away, he couldn't even remember himself, as if he was just shielding the priest, and he didn't pay attention to where he went later.

Looking at the time of the wall clock, Father Márquez Costello frowned, he had been waiting for half an hour, and the other party had not even come, when had he encountered such a cold reception?

If it is placed in the northeastern United States, the archbishop of a region like him will say who he wants to see, and the other party will obediently come to visit, where is the need to go out in person? But this is Southern California, where Catholicism doesn't have much influence......

The door to the reception room was suddenly opened from the outside, and a man and a woman walked in, and Father Márquez Costello looked up to see that the man was tall and resolute, it was none other than Murphy Stanton, who had seen him before, and the woman was wearing a professional dress and exquisite makeup, obviously a shrewd and capable person in a high position.

Father Márquez Costello sat on the couch and did not move, without the slightest intention of standing up to say hello.

"Hello, Father." Murphy greeted him politely, and introduced Kara Firth who was walking next to him as he walked, "This is Miss Carla Fez, the director of production and distribution at Twentieth Century Fox. ”

"Hello." Father Márquez Costello waited until the two men approached, then stood up, made a gesture of invitation to the two sofas next to him, and said in a noisy manner, "Sit as you like." ”

Carla Firth turned her head to look at Murphy, and the two quickly exchanged glances, and sat down on the two couches tacitly.

"Oh, Father." Murphy rambled on a topic, "I was thinking I would have time to visit you, but you called me first." ”

Father Márquez-Costello looked at Murphy, his resolute face was full of passionate smiles, and before he would have thought that this young man was polite and respectful, but now he knew that it was all hypocrisy!

"Ahem......" Father Márquez Costello clenched his fists and coughed, before he said, "Director Stanton, I'm looking for you this time......"

He looked at Carla Firth and said, "And Miss Firth represents Twentieth Century Fox, because yesterday I just watched your new film Diego Rose, and there are a lot of untruths in it, and I deeply regret it. ”

"False plot?" Murphy was puzzled, "Father, this film may have been appropriately embellished in some parts with cinematic techniques, but all the plot is based on reality, and the male protagonist of the film is my friend, which is both from his own description and from other people's corroboration. ”

Without waiting for Father Márquez-Costello to speak, Murphy added, "I made this film with the utmost seriousness, and everything was done with real scrutiny, so as not to disappoint my friends. ”

Carla Firth and Murphy immediately agreed, "Twentieth Century Fox and I can guarantee that, and we made this film with the utmost care. ”

"If there's anything wrong with this movie." Murphy added, "I'm willing to take all the responsibility. ”

"And Twentieth Century Fox!" Carla Firth answered again.

After all, Father Márquez-Costello has a wealth of experience, and he immediately understands that the other party will not admit it at all, and it seems that there is no intention of compromise.

"Director Stanton, Miss Feith......" he simply stopped going around in circles, and said very seriously, "I officially lodge a solemn protest against all the plots that denigrate Catholicism in the film 'Diego Rose'!" ”

"Slander Catholicism?" Murphy spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, Father, I've never done that. ”

"You ......" Father Márquez Costello has been in the sect for many years and has seen countless shameless companions, but none of them can compare to the young Hollywood director in front of him, and his voice turned stern, "*** Your film gives people the feeling that Catholicism leads people to evil through such a plot. ”

Murphy also changed his serious attitude, "I admit that there is a plot of a Catholic priest in the film! But never expressed the kind of intent you said. ”

Father Márquez-Costello seemed to want to say something, but Murphy preemptively said, "Father, we have met several times before, and we have had a good conversation, and you should know that although I am not a Catholic, I have always had a respectful and friendly attitude towards your sect......"

Listening to Murphy's nonsense here, Carla Firth quietly bit the inside of her lip so as not to laugh out loud, if this Father Marquez Costello just came to have a war of words, he would not be able to discuss anything with Murphy tomorrow.

"Director Stanton!" Father Márquez Costello couldn't help but raise his voice, interrupted Murphy's words, and said righteously, "I demand that all false plots involving ** and Catholic cover-ups in Diego Rose must be removed, otherwise it will ......"

"Wait!" Murphy said in the same righteous words, "Father, are these plots really false? Do you dare to swear to Heavenly Father that Catholicism in the United States, in California, really has no pastor molesting children? Is there really no shelter within the Catholic Church? ”

"Uh......" Father Márquez Costello was dumbfounded.

Murphy stood up, raised his right hand and said, "I swear to the Father, God, Christ, Buddha, and Muhammad that every story I tell in the film is based on real events!" ”

He looked at Father Márquez Costello, "Father, what about you?" ”

Father Márquez Costello was choked by Murphy's words, and he only felt the waves rolling in his chest, but he couldn't say anything.

He slowly stood up, gave Murphy a deep look, and said, "Director Stanton, I represent Catholicism!" ”

This seems to be very plain, Murphy would not have heard the meaning contained in it, if it had been released by a regional archbishop twenty years ago, even the top directors of Hollywood would have thought about it.

Murphy smiled and said calmly, "If the priest thinks that I have damaged the reputation of your sect with a fictional plot and story, I can only say that I am very sorry, because all of this is based on facts, and I cannot meet your request. ”

Father Márquez Costello looked at Murphy calmly, but did not say a word.

"Father." Murphy said generously, "If you have any objections, you can go to court, I believe that American law is fair." ”

Seeing that the matter could not be resolved smoothly, Father Márquez-Costello's calm eyes gradually became sharper, "I will protest your disturbance of Catholic religious freedom to your government, and at the same time report it to the Vatican!" ”

"That's your power and freedom!" Carla Firth stood up, "Hollywood has the freedom to make films!" Twentieth Century Fox will not make any changes to the film "Diego Rose"! ”

Freedom is the birthright of man, as if man wants to breathe, without any proof at all, and this American idea, although very and unrealistic, has a profound impact in Hollywood, and is even regarded as a golden rule by many people who work in film.

To a certain extent, violating Hollywood's freedom to make films has touched the sensitive nerves of many people in this circle.

At this point, the two sides were destined to part unhappily, and Father Márquez Costello walked out of the reception room seemingly calmly.

"Will he give up?" Carla Firth looked at the closed door and asked, "It's not wise to use religious power to interfere in Hollywood." ”

"Someone else might." Murphy turned to look out the window, "I have a lot of information about Father Márquez Costello, a very tough archbishop who advocates strict protection of Catholic interests, and he sheltered so many disgusting people back then. ”

He looked at Kara Firth with a smile, "Since he came forward, he definitely won't give up halfway." ”

Carla Firth shook her head and suddenly asked, "The plot of the movie is all true?" ”

Murphy said seriously, "When I was in prison, Diego Firth told me personally. ”

"How's Bill's side?" Carla Firth asked again.

"It's almost set up." Murphy didn't hide it from her, "My two black fan organizations have been launched, you pay attention to public opinion on the Internet." ”

Carla Firth glanced at his watch, "Don't worry, word-of-mouth marketing isn't the first time we've done it. (To be continued.) )
