In downtown Los Angeles, outside a church that looks ordinary, there are a large number of media reporters, they are isolated outside the wrought iron gate, but looking inside from the open church door, you can see a lot of candles lit inside the church, the candles are shaking in the breeze, and more than the candles are a large number of believers in formal clothes, and the believers crowd the entire church, looking at the front reverently.

Under the cross of the church, an old man dressed in a priest's costume seemed to be saying something, but unfortunately it was too far away for the reporters to hear it.

"Guess what." A reporter with eyes asked the red-haired female reporter next to her, "What does that Archbishop of Márquez-Costello say?" ”

The red-haired female reporter shook her head, "I can't guess, I guess it's to commemorate the Catholic believer who died." ”

"Your Excellency the Archbishop of South-Central California, personally convened a diffuse ......" the middle-aged reporter diagonally opposite had a particularly keen sense of smell, "the purpose should not be so simple as commemoration." ”

"Well, that makes sense!" The eyed reporter nodded, "Not only did I arrange a dispersion, but I also deliberately revealed the news to the media, which obviously had an ulterior purpose." ”

"Do you think it's going to target Murphy Stanton?" The red-haired female reporter said.

The others nodded, "Possibly." ”

Between the Diocese of South-Central California and even the Catholic Church, it has long been no news that the film "Diego Rose" is extremely dissatisfied with Murphy Stanton.

"I've had a few contacts with that Archbishop Márquez-Costello."

A short reporter approached at this time and said, "He is a person with a relatively tough style, and he will definitely not let go of this opportunity." ”

The youngest and biggest middle-aged reporter nodded in agreement, "A Murphy Stanton fan, following the example of the magician in 'Dark City', shot a Catholic in public, and replaced me with the position of the archbishop, and will not let go of this opportunity." ”

The red-haired female reporter raised her hand and looked at her watch, "The Mass is almost over, let's see what His Excellency the Archbishop has to say." ”

After the mass in the church, Archbishop Márquez-Costello, accompanied by two church priests, slowly walked out of the church and into the courtyard, under the watchful eyes of the faithful.

"Let them in." Archbishop Márquez-Costello said to a priest.

The priest gestured to the door, and the staff guarding the door opened a small door in the wrought iron door, allowing only one reporter to pass at a time, and carefully checked the reporter's credentials.

Not long after the shooting at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, many people suspected that the gunman was targeting Catholics.

Archbishop Márquez-Costello turned to look at the pastor on the other side and asked in a low voice, "How's the contact going?" ”

"It went well." The pastor's voice was also not loud, "The media is already attacking the violence caused by 'Dark City', and the media will certainly not take the side of the murderer and Murphy Stanton in this kind of incident." ”

Hearing this, Archbishop Márquez-Costello nodded in satisfaction.

The pastor took advantage of the fact that the reporter had not yet come, and continued, "Don't look at the media singing praises to Murphy Stanton and Dark City, they are the most undetermined people, and there are many people who are willing to see Murphy Stanton's bad luck when this happens. ”

Archbishop Márquez-Costello did not speak, but smiled kindly when he saw a reporter approaching.

With the maintenance of the church staff and the fact that this is a church, the reporters have somewhat restrained, and the order of this temporary press conference seems to be very good.

"Your Excellency, Archbishop."

I don't know if there was communication in advance, but the first few reporters asked questions that were very appealing to Archbishop Márquez-Costello, "What do you think of a devout believer being brutally murdered in order to maintain the prestige of the Church?" ”

"The Church strongly condemns this anti-human act." Archbishop Márquez-Costello rightly said, "That's why we are here today with a Mass in memory of this parishioner. ”

Another reporter stood up and asked, "Do you think this matter is necessarily related to Murphy Stanton's film?" ”

Archbishop Márquez-Costello remains solemn, "The police have published the results of their preliminary investigation, and so far. ”

The previous questions, which seem to have been rehearsed in advance, are between questions and answers, which not only highlight Catholicism, but also point the finger at Murphy and his film for the whole shooting.

"Isn't it time for us to play?"

The red female reporter whispered to the bespectacled reporter and the middle-aged reporter next to her, "The press conference shouldn't last long." ”

Several of them are from Fox-owned media, so they naturally come here for their own purposes.

The middle-aged reporter seemed to be the one in charge, and he nodded slightly.

When the question was ensued, the red-haired female reporter raised her hand, and since the previous question was almost the same, after the press officer clicked on her, a staff member handed over the microphone.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency."

Giving full play to the advantages of women, the red-haired female reporter's face showed a charming smile, "As we all know, the films directed by Murphy Stanton are known for being dark, depressing, and cruel, and "Dark City" almost takes these characteristics to the extreme, and the murderer is obviously a fan of this film or Murphy Stanton, do you think what the murderer did, was it influenced by "Dark City"? ”

Speaking of which, she added, "I don't know if you've watched "Dark City"? ”

"I've seen it!" Archbishop Márquez-Costello was saddened, "Cinema is supposed to be a form of cultural entertainment that brings positivity, but I don't know why, in the hands of some people, it has become so cruel and cold, some directors only see the dark side of people and society, but never pay attention to the shining side, as a public figure, especially those with a large number of supporters, such behavior undoubtedly sends a very bad signal." ”

The red-haired female journalist was still looking at Archbishop Márquez Costello.

"The murderer shouted frantically, he was an agent of chaos." Archbishop Márquez Costello said solemnly, "I think Murphy Stanton and his film are to blame for this. ”

"Thank you." The red-haired female reporter said with a smile.

The next round of questions began quickly, and the bespectacled reporter took the microphone, "Your Excellency, I don't know if you have noticed, the violent scenes in Hollywood movies in the past have led to many unexpected tragedies. ”

Archbishop Márquez-Costello appeared very erudite, "I have heard of it. ”

The reporter lifted his glasses and asked, "Just like the shooting case at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, the parties involved in those cases have also been influenced by Hollywood movies, and now there are more and more violent factors in Hollywood movies, do you think this is a good thing?" ”

"It's not!" Archbishop Márquez-Costello was angry when he mentioned Hollywood films: "Hollywood must limit the violence and other transitional content in the films!" ”

Seeing that the opportunity was good, the bespectacled reporter asked again, "Are Hollywood movies to blame for this?" ”

Archbishop Márquez-Costello nodded slowly, "Just like this case that happened in front of the theater, Hollywood movies should be primarily responsible!" ”

Then, the middle-aged reporter got the microphone and asked, "Nowadays, Hollywood movies are getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more violent and pornographic content, do you think there is something wrong with Hollywood's self-censorship?" ”

"Self-censorship in Hollywood is more like a show for people to watch."

Archbishop Márquez Costello did not hesitate to accuse, "Why is this Murphy Stanton's Dark City PG-13 and not R-rated?" I don't think it's enough to rely on Hollywood's self-censorship if you want to eliminate the downsides in movies and get more healthy movies in front of audiences. ”

These reporters knew about the archbishop before they came, and Archbishop Márquez-Costello was tough, and since he seized the opportunity, he would definitely not let it go easily.

The middle-aged reporter then asked, "In the last century, the church once set the moral standards for Hollywood movies, and there were not as many violent scenes in Hollywood movies at that time as there are now. Your Excellency, if you can, do you think this is an effective measure? ”

If Hollywood movies were to be included in the Church's sphere of influence, as in the last century, his promotion to cardinal cardinal would no longer be a problem, and the thought flashed through the mind of His Excellency Archbishop Márquez-Costello, "I think this is a very effective measure!" If Hollywood itself can't regulate the films it produces, then the government and the church can help! Movies, as a widely disseminated cultural entertainment, must be regulated and restricted! ”

It seems that Archbishop Márquez-Costello was a little emotional, and added, "Only in this way can we reduce and eliminate the tragedies caused by the negative impact of Hollywood movies!" ”

When a few veteran reporters got the results they wanted, they stopped asking questions, and the press conference was over soon.

"Did you record it?"

Leaving the church compound and coming to the car on the side of the road, the middle-aged reporter asked a reporter with a camera on his shoulder, "Didn't you miss anything?" ”

The cameraman put away the camera and made an "OK" gesture, "I'll do things, don't worry!" ”

The red-haired female reporter and the eyed reporter also came over one after another,

The former pointed to his watch, "Hurry back, I'm going to hurry!" ”

"Well...... "Well," the eyed reporter reminded, "if you go back quickly, you can catch the evening news." ”
