Chapter 631: Applying Pressure
"Murphy Stanton was attacked by Catholic believers at a book signing because of the plot of the new film involving Catholicism......"
Back at home, Daisy turned on her computer and found that Murphy's attack on Santa Monica Commercial Plaza had been spread all over social networks, and there were even footage taken at the scene. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
She thought about it for a moment and wrote on her Twitter, "Thanks Murphy! Yesterday I had some trouble and was arrested and taken to the police station, and after Murphy heard about it, he asked his lawyer to do bail for me, thank you Murphy for everything! ”
As soon as this tweet was sent out by Daisy, someone left a message asking "What's going on?" ”
"Don't mention it!" Daisy had already received Grace's signal before, and she didn't care about it at all, and replied directly, "I led someone to stop the bastard who attacked Murphy and taught him a lesson, I don't know who called the police and arrested us, Murphy's lawyer just fished us out." ”
Another person left a message, "Well played! This kind of person owes a beating! ”
The following comments kept appearing one after another.
"Murphy had you fished out, Daisy, you're so happy!"
"I've never seen a director who cares about his fans like Murphy!"
"If what you're saying is true, we should support Murphy!"
Daisy wrote under this one, "Of course it's true! There are three other fans along with them! ”
Then, she @ Justin, who was probably also online, immediately turned to this side and left a message, "I prove it's true!" I also kicked that bastard a few times! ”
"You go ahead, I'll send it to the discussion section of IMDB."
After writing this, Daisy went to IMDB to write relevant messages, and then went on Facebook, this kind of news spread very quickly among fans, that is, in five or six minutes, her social accounts were successively called by the heads of several fan organizations in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Louisiana to ask about related matters.
Daisy told them what had happened, and it was clear that the matter would spread to all of Murphy's fan groups at a rapid pace.
Thinking about the trouble she might get into, and thinking about what Murphy did for her, Daisy felt like she wanted more fans to know how good Murphy was!
Returning to her Twitter, I looked at the message I had just posted, and found that there were more replies below, but Daisy found a questioning voice in it at a glance.
It was obviously a somewhat unfamiliar account, "You hit the guy who attacked Murphy Stanton?" Bragging rights! ”
Daisy was just about to refute, when she suddenly saw a new message below.
"Look at this, these can prove that Daisy is not lying, what she wrote is the truth!"
Behind this message is the address of a website, Daisy immediately thought of what Grace said, quickly clicked on it, and found that it was an online version of a media, and on the webpage was a relatively clear video, and the content of the video was the scene where she and Justin stood on the beach and beat up the bastard!
On the afternoon of Murphy's rejection of Hannum Williams, a video of Murphy's movie fans beating up Catholics appeared on the Internet, and the related comments pointed directly at Murphy himself.
"Murphy Stanton's brutal approach to Catholicism in the film directly affected his fans......"
"The wanton attack on Catholicism in the film 'Diego Rose' was the trigger for this conflict!"
"Who is responsible for the conflict between fans and believers? Murphy Stanton might have thought about it......"
For a time, Murphy and the film "Diego Rose" became the target of media crusades, as if he had done a heinous thing, and the first thing he was attacked by Catholics was deliberately forgotten by them.
The media are like that, they don't hesitate to do what to get the most out of the news, and they don't have any cooperative relationship with Murphy.
As night fell, the lights were bright in a small building in Santa Monica, Archbishop Márquez Costello was sitting in front of the computer, wearing disc glasses, dragging the mouse to look at the news on the Internet, he had previously received the following report, Murphy Stanton's fans attacked a Catholic believer, and immediately let people understand the cause and effect, and then carefully reviewed the relevant video and found that this was a good opportunity.
It was an online version of a social news media that almost all of the news they sent out were on the opposite side of Murphy Stanton, and there was even an article that borrowed the mouth of an insider to say that Murphy Stanton instructed his fans to attack the Catholic believer because of the previous attack, and he was mainly responsible for the beating.
After reading the news, Archbishop Márquez Costello thought quietly for a while, then said outside, "Call our PR chief." ”
Within minutes, the head of public relations entered the office of Archbishop Márquez Costello, a staff member of the Catholic Church in the Los Angeles area who maintains very close ties with many social news outlets.
In this day and age, even Archbishop Márquez Costello knows that proper PR is important!
He is ready to put some pressure on Murphy Stanton through media opinion!
By the next day, news about Murphy's fans beating up Catholics had been joined by many print media, especially some of the media that focused on social news, which were more concerned and active than traditional entertainment media, as if this was what they had always been good at.
This wave of public opinion is menacing, and it seems to be much bigger than Murphy expected.
"Bill just called."
In the living room of Wave Manor, Gal Gadot looked at Murphy who came out of the study and said, "He has received definite information, the regional archbishop has contacted many media that tend to be Catholic, and the media that attack us are also dominated by them. ”
"It seems that they want to use public opinion to put pressure on me." Murphy walked to the window of the villa and looked out through the glass window, and could vaguely see a number of figures flickering near the gate of the manor, "but they seriously underestimated my ability to withstand stress." ”
Others may not understand, but Gal Gadot knows very well that Murphy's character is the toughest one she has seen so far.
If the Archbishop of Márquez-Costello thought that this would allow him to compromise, he was dreaming!
"Do you want to compromise us in this way?" Gal Gadot came to Murphy's side and also looked out the window, "Public opinion is indeed a good weapon, but he thinks of us too simply. ”
The related news that appeared on the Internet yesterday is probably made by the media that Hannam Williams worked with him, but the incident fermented so quickly and spread so widely, it was only one night, not only the entertainment media, but also quite a lot of social media began to pay attention, it can only be said that Archbishop Márquez Costello has been staring at them, looking for suitable opportunities.
"That Archbishop Márquez-Costello is not necessarily for us to compromise."
This morning, Murphy expected that the media might react, but he didn't expect so many reporters to come to the gate of the manor, many of whom were not entertaining paparazzi, but people who specialized in running social news, and now Bill Rothes confirmed through many inquiries that Archbishop Márquez Costello must have made a move.
He thought for a moment, and then said to Gal Gadot, "It is best for us to compromise under the pressure of public opinion, so that the film "Diego Rose" can be deleted from the sensitive plot when it has not yet been expanded, and if not, in this way, the contradiction between me and Catholicism can be used to cover up the problems reflected in the film......"
Gal Gadot walked to the back and brought Murphy a glass of water, Murphy took a sip and continued, "It even gives people the feeling that there are contradictions and conflicts between me and the Catholic Church, and for these reasons, I secretly manipulated my fans to fight against Catholic believers, so is there still credibility in the plot related to Catholicism in the movie I filmed?" ”
Retrieving the empty cup from Murphy's hand, Gal Gadot placed it on the windowsill and said with a frown, "The Catholic Church can't influence all the media either. ”
"No, I don't." Murphy said that it was all conjecture, and from the perspective of empathy, "If it were me, it would only be enough to cause controversy, and there would be quite a few people who doubt my position, especially Catholics and those who are inclined to Catholicism, which is what Archbishop Márquez-Costello cares about." ”
Although I don't know if Murphy's guess is correct, Gal Gadot has also been in contact with the Archbishop of Márquez Costello, and the other party is not a simple person, and ordinary people cannot climb to the position of regional archbishop.
Gal Gadot picked up the cup, returned to the couch, sat down behind the coffee table stacked with newspapers, and asked, "Are we going to wait?" ”
"Well, keep waiting." Murphy also walked back, "Bill and Carla have helped contact the Writers Guild and Directors Guild, as well as the Producers' Union, and they are also unhappy with the filming in the religious intervention circle......
In every industry, there is no internal preference for laymen to come over and shout in protest while pointing fingers at the industry.
Murphy sat next to Gal Gadot and said, "I'm afraid that Archbishop Márquez Costello won't just leave it at that, let's wait and see if he has any other moves next." ”
From several contacts, Murphy can clearly feel that Archbishop Márquez Costello is a person with a strong work style, this kind of person is a bit like him in some aspects, he will not give up easily when he does things, and he will definitely continue to take action when he gets the opportunity.
Since Murphy left Studio Stanton yesterday, he has been in contact with Bill Rothes around preparing for what might happen.
