Driving the SUV, Daisy followed the man into downtown Los Angeles, turned a few corners in a row, and saw him parked outside an apartment building, and quickly got out of the car and carried a bag into the apartment building, which seemed to live here. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Daisy waited for nearly an hour before seeing the man change his clothes, come out of it with a black garbage bag, turn to the alley behind the house, throw the garbage bag into the trash can, and then turn back and enter the apartment building.

"Looks like that," Daisy nodded in conviction, "that's where I live." ”

She looked at the car's navigation, reached out and clicked on the LCD screen a few times, made a sign, and started the car and left here.

"Bastard, I won't let you go!"

Driving the car, Daisy kept saying to herself, "You will definitely pay for what you have done!" ”

When she got home, she immediately found her drawing board, drew a baseball cap on it, and then modeled an even more bright red 'X' on it, imitating the way magicians spread terror in Dark City!

In the past, Murphy was her faith, but now magicians have become her faith!

Daisy believes that if she plans carefully, she can cause chaos in Los Angeles like a magician!

Therefore, the first step is very crucial, she is not prepared to act as secretly as the previous violent beating on the beach, it is impossible to bring chaos.

She needs an explosive effect, and choosing a suitable place to do it is very crucial!

Having just commanded a resounding battle on IMDB, Daisy is confident that she can do it.

Placing her easel in the center of the living room, Daisy walked over to the background wall behind the couch, on which was a huge poster of a magician.

She raised her hand and slowly brushed it over the magician, "Since you can't come out, let me realize the chaos in your place." ”

In the following days, Daisy went to the apartment where the red baseball cap lived almost every day, gradually figuring out some of the other party's activities, and she also noticed that the criticism of Murphy's slander of Catholicism that had been stopped on the Internet for a while began to appear again, and it seemed that the red baseball cap was inseparable.

However, Daisy has been planning and not doing it, knowing that she is a woman who wants to cause chaos and needs to be more fit, so she goes to gun clubs and health clubs more often, and even adds some fitness equipment to her home.

As May rolls into the end of the month, "Dark City" is about to begin its fifth weekend of North American screenings and is taking on the challenge of Sony-Columbia Pictures' production and distribution of "Shocking Crisis," a $150 million super-commercial blockbuster directed by Roland Emmerich, who is loyal to the destruction of the planet, and is still quite attractive to fans.

In any case, with the huge success of films such as "Independence Day", "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012", Roland Emmerich can be classified as a first-line commercial director in Hollywood.

Roland Emmerich is an avid White House destroyer, having aliens destroy the building in 1997's "Independence Day" and the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy in "2012" passing through it, this time preparing to turn a group of terrorists into demolition teams.

Frankly, the theme of the destruction of the White House does attract a lot of viewers.

Murphy had heard that Sony Columbia Pictures paid $3 million to buy the screenplay for the film from James Vanderbilt, a deal that The Hollywood Reporter called "the most expensive script deal in recent times."

Once upon a time, Murphy had seen this action blockbuster that used the White House as a battlefield, and although "Shocking" would not score much for originality, seriousness and subtlety, it was indeed very interesting, and I have to admit that Roland Emmerich was an amazing on-screen presenter who knew how to bring large-scale chaos to the stage.

For audiences who like pure popcorn movies, "Shocking Crisis" still has a certain appeal.

On the weekend of Memorial Day, this commercial masterpiece of Sony Columbia Pictures earned more than $21 million in three days, ranking second in the North American box office list with a gap of $3 million!

At the top of the list is still "Dark City", Murphy's film achieved five consecutive box office titles in North America, and continued to lead the North American box office charts with $24 million in the weekend of its fifth week of release.

Combined with the $16 million earned in the previous four working days, "Dark City" took $30 million from the North American theatrical market in seven days of the week, bringing the total North American box office to $662.1 million.

In this way, "Dark City" also successfully surpassed the $658.67 million of "Titanic" and ranked second in the North American box office list!

Murphy broke James Cameron's monopoly on the top two box office in North America, and also made countless American media sing praises again.

The new issue of Time magazine directly listed Murphy as the cover character.

"As one of Hollywood's top directors, Murphy Stanton has the qualities of a god or an empire builder, and he is both a pop culture expert and the most in-demand director in Hollywood's increasingly homogeneous film industry!"

The touting of other media outlets is no weaker than that of Time Magazine.

"Murphy Stanton is God's favorite!"

"In front of Murphy Stanton, except for James Cameron, only he is left!"

"Since the birth of the film industry, no director has built a commercial appeal far more powerful than that of a Hollywood superstar like Murphy Stanton."

Even, many media in North America can't wait to issue such a headline: In the case of James Cameron's scarcity, Murphy Stanton is the real king of commercial films!

It is no exaggeration to say that the craze caused by "Dark City" in North America has long exceeded the scope of movies and has become a social and cultural phenomenon.

Murphy himself knows very well that the North American box office of "Dark City" will not be a problem, and the most important thing now is the global box office, and only by making efforts in overseas markets can the global box office of "Dark City" be pushed past the $2 billion mark as soon as possible.

North America has a limited population, the United States and Canada combined, the total population is only more than 350 million, counting the foreign population and the smugglers who will buy tickets for the movie, the market is at most 400 million people, and the box office of 700 million US dollars has almost reached the ceiling, after all, it is impossible for everyone in North America to like Murphy and "The Dark City", and no film can do this.

Fortunately, the overseas performance of "Dark City" is not bad at all.

In the past, the North American box office of Murphy's films was basically better than the overseas box office, and even if the overseas box office figures were higher than those in North America, they were not much higher, which did not coincide with the current trend of Hollywood blockbuster development.

This can be said to be a result of the genre and personal style of the film.

However, after Murphy's years of hard work, he has stood at the top of the Hollywood director circle, and the appeal of a top Hollywood director is huge in the global market, and "Dark City" has also gotten rid of the previous situation, and the response overseas is quite enthusiastic.

Outside of North America, from Latin America to Europe, from the Middle East to the Far East, from Australia to Russia, there are many countries in the mainstream media that can be found everywhere about "Dark City".

"The Dark City and its director, Murphy Stanton, are pushing the record for the record, which has topped the box office charts in every country where it was released, and has gradually developed a unique phenomenon where parents bring their children to see it, and juniors bring their elders to see it, which is a cross-age experience sharing. It broke the barriers of language, culture and religion, and set off a movie-watching boom all over the world, and this trend continues unabated......"

"If you sit on the subway, you can hear people around you talking about the film, talking about Chris Dane, talking about the madness of magic, discussing the philosophical issues of chaos, law and human rights that Murphy Stanton wants to show through this film......"

Even overseas, the influence of "Dark City" has gone beyond the scope of movies and has become a cultural or social phenomenon.

Although the directors in Europe, who are full of envy, jealousy and hatred, do their best to constantly criticize "The Dark City" as no art at all, except for the showy IMAX panorama and the bloody plot for the sake of sensationalism, it cannot stop the progress of the film in the slightest.

Their views don't affect mainstream audiences at all, what movies do most people like? This is the kind of question that can be answered without asking.

Even the mainstream media in Europe, seeing the longer and longer queues for ticket purchases, can only give praise in the face of increasingly frightening box office figures.

"Murphy Stanton is becoming a world trend leader!"

"Even though 2013 is only half a year old, we can confirm that no one can be more influential than Murphy Stanton, who is simply the center and center of the world! Any of his words and actions can easily attract the public's attention and make headlines on the front pages of major media. ”

In the overseas praise, the overseas box office of "Dark City" has reached a total of 1.2 billion US dollars, and the global box office is as high as 1.8628 billion US dollars!

It's far from over, the film has only been in theaters for five weeks, and while the weekday box office may drop below $2 million from the start of the new week, there's still a long way to go in North America and around the world.

This new Monday, Memorial Day, a public holiday in North America, Archbishop Márquez-Costello held a press conference.
