Since the beginning of the Middle Ages, there have been too many scandals within the Catholic Church, and with the entry into civilized society, these scandals seem to be much less, but under the huge power of the Church, there are still many shady things that cannot be seen.

This wave seems to have come very suddenly, but the promoters behind the scenes are well-prepared and powerful, and can directly intervene in many media, and the right to speak in the media is by no means comparable to the Catholic forces in the United States.

There is always a certain timeliness for any topic, and for a country like the United States, there are quite a few people who never go to the theater to watch a movie, but very few people who claim to be religious.

Religion is far more topical than the movie.

Naturally, there was much less discussion about the overly violent Hollywood films and whether Murphy's films were to blame for the shootings, and the attention of the media, the public, and even the Washington authorities turned to the series of scandals that broke out in the Catholic Church.

If these scandals happened in Europe, they would not care much about the self-centered worldview of the Americans, but all of these incidents happened in the United States, and they happened to the most intolerable children in the government and society, and it is difficult not to attract people.

Children are the future of a country and society, and there is more to it than just words.

At a time when the Catholic scandal was being discussed frantically across the United States, from the media to the public, Murphy convened a press conference.

The press conference was held in the lobby of the Death Star Tower in Century City and was very brief.

At the beginning of the press conference, Carla Firth announced on behalf of Twentieth Century Fox, "Fox will continue to work with Stanton Studios to create a new film directed by Murphy Stanton, and the new film directed by Stanton will focus on current social hot events!" ”

After speaking, she made a gesture to the back, and the white screen behind her instantly lit up, and a few lines of large characters were unusually eye-catching.

"A bunch of poor journalists who want to declare war on the forces of the church, adapted from real people and real stories, the real history behind "Focus"!"

Seeing the words on the screen, many reporters were still a little stunned when they pressed the camera shutter, and they couldn't figure out what this meant.

"Declaring war on the forces of the Church? A bunch of poor journalists? ”

Some older reporters gradually remembered what according to these, "The current social hot events? "Spotlight"? ”

He immediately recalled and whispered, "Could it be the news event where the Boston Globe won the Pulitzer Prize?" ”

A young reporter next to him asked puzzledly, "Mr. Björkman, what are you talking about?" ”

"Look at the screen." The older reporter pointed to the screen.

The young reporter looked up and saw that the headline had disappeared, and a general description gradually appeared.

"The film is based on a real story and comes from an in-depth investigative reporting experience in the Boston Globe."

When a reporter named Björkman saw this, he said, "That's really the case!" ”

In 2001, the editor-in-chief of the Miami Herald parachuted into the Boston Globe to make big news, pointing out a topic for the paper's in-depth reporting team, Focus: Father John Jorgen, a local Catholic priest, was accused of child molestation, and Cardinal Bernard Law, who is in charge of the Boston Archdiocese, was revealed to have long been aware of it, but shelved it for cover-up, which was a serious dereliction of duty. As the investigation deepened, they were shocked to find that the number of people suspected of sexually assaulting priests increased from 1 to 13 and then to an eye-popping 70. This is no longer a matter of one person, but the festering of the church system, and they found that the parents were either powerless to resist, or were prevaricated by the church with very low hush money, the priest involved was not disfellowship, and the diocese was reassigned for time on the grounds of 'sick leave', etc., and then a new evil was brewing, and so on, and so ......on."

On the big screen, the background information of this new film is briefly explained.

Seeing this, Björkman rose up with a sense of absurdity, "Murphy Stanton and Twentieth Century Fox did it on purpose, right?" ”

"It must have been on purpose!" The young reporter next to him looked at Murphy, who was sitting in front of the big screen, and said, "At this time, choose this kind of subject and say that he didn't mean it, do you believe it?" ”

Björkman shook his head without hesitation.

Maybe the public doesn't know very well, but where do they, the practitioners of the media industry, not know that the criticism and pressure that Murphy Stanton was subjected to before was fundamentally driven by Catholicism, and now that a large number of scandals in the United States have been exposed, Murphy Stanton chose this time to announce that the theme of his new film is based on the news events of the Pulitzer Prize winners who exposed the Catholic ** scandal, not for Catholicism, to fight back against Catholicism, what else can it be?

"I guess the Catholic instigators of the attack on Murphy Stanton," the young reporter added, "will be so angry that they will vomit blood when they see his new film, right?" ”

Björkman laughed, "Murphy Stanton has never been the kind of person who likes to be beaten, and since Catholicism has provoked him, he will definitely be slapped back by him!" Perhaps the scandal of Catholicism exposed in the media is also related to Murphy Stanton. ”

It may be an exaggeration for Catholics to say that they vomit blood when they see today's press conference, but they are crazy.

"It's question time." Carla Firth's voice rang out, "If you have questions, you can ask Director Stanton a question, there are only five minutes to go!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the reporters scrambled to raise their hands high.

Today's press conference is simply too newsy in the current public opinion situation, and the effect of spreading it is absolutely explosive.

Meanwhile, inside that office building in the Santa Monica Beach area, Archbishop Márquez Costello had just turned on Fox News after being alerted by his aides to see Carla Firth announce the start of the free questioning session.

Although he didn't watch the press conference in front of him, he could see the handwriting on the big screen behind Murphy Stanton through the live broadcast screen, and the more he looked at it, the bigger his eyes became, and the more he watched, the more frightened he became.

Murphy Stanton: What is this going to do?

Archbishop Márquez-Costello naturally knew about those events in Boston back then, and this news event also won the Pulitzer Prize, the highest in American journalism, but the influence of regional newspapers was limited after all, especially through the efforts of the church, and those things were almost forgotten......

Now, Murphy Stanton is going to be adapted into a movie! He is not directed against Catholicism, what else can it be?

Archbishop Márquez Costello has a very bad feeling rising in his heart, although he does not like Murphy Stanton, he cannot deny that Murphy Stanton is already one of the most influential directors in Hollywood and even the world, and even a director with a huge influence like him will not be more than a slap in the face in the world.

How widely will the film of such a director be disseminated? How much of a bad influence will it have on Catholicism? What will be the reaction of the Vatican?

As if unable to sit still any longer, Archbishop Márquez-Costello stood up from his office chair, his eyes glued to the television screen, his old face tense like a stretched band, slightly white.

If...... If...... Murphy Stanton's new film is really going viral, and it's bound to affect him!

The previous action against Murphy Stanton and Hollywood, although it was approved by the Vatican Holy See, was finally proposed and instigated by him, if the plan succeeded, it would benefit him and the Holy See, and if it had a negative impact, he must be the initiator.

Archbishop Márquez-Costello is well aware that the Holy See will certainly scapegoat him if necessary.

On the TV screen, a female reporter for The Hollywood Reporter was the first to be called by Carla Firth, and she stood up and asked directly, "Murphy, why did you choose such a subject?" ”

Hearing the voice of the question, Archbishop Márquez Costello put aside all his worries for a moment and prepared to see how Murphy Stanton answered.

In the living room of the Death Star Building, Murphy sat calmly across from the many reporters, no different from any press conference he had attended in the past.

"Some time ago, a lot of media criticized Hollywood films, especially my work for lacking a sense of social responsibility." Murphy said seriously, "This is really worth reflecting on, as a director, I really can't forget the sense of social responsibility, so from then on, I decided that the theme of the new film should be able to reflect social issues......"

In Santa Monica's office building, hearing the word social responsibility, Archbishop Márquez Costello only felt inexplicably ridiculed, and the reason he used to attack Murphy Stanton was actually returned by him through the media.

Murphy Stanton's voice was still reaching his ears, "When filming "Diego Rose", I thought ** was just a case within the Catholic Church, but recently after reading many reports in the media, I realized that this may be a common phenomenon within the Catholic Church, children are the objects we have been committed to protecting, our hope for the future, I am already engaged, and I may have my own children in the near future, who wants to put their children in such a horrible environment?" ”

"Horror?" Archbishop Márquez Costello was eager to fly over and shut Murphy Stanton's mouth, "When did Catholicism terror?" ”

"I think there's something I can do to remind our society of the ...... of our parents"

Inside the TV, the man who disgusted him was still talking, "Remind them to stay away from some of the sins hidden behind the brilliance!" ”

"Bastard!"

Archbishop Márquez-Costello slammed the table with a loud thud, then frowned in pain.

But the press conference continued, and Mo answered all kinds of questions from reporters with ease, and very cleverly pushed Catholicism into the swamp.
