When Gal Gadot finished speaking, the living room became quiet, Gal Gadot was just eighteen years old, Murphy chased her into his hands, the two have been together for almost ten years, and they know each other very well, and some things do not need to be said explicitly, and they can guess each other's intentions. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, Murphy has always been very clear that his fiancée has always had opinions on Diego Rose's affairs, but he didn't go too far, so he never said it.

After all, Gal Gadot studied law and is more cautious in doing things.

But with their status and status, caution is not a bad thing.

"I see." Murphy cupped Gal Gadot's face and kissed her on the forehead, "Thank you, dear. ”

Gal Gadot smiled and didn't say anything, and Murphy clearly understood what she meant.

Murphy, of course, knew that this was not a lawless primitive society.

It's a society where rules exist, and breaking them is likely to result in punishment, and he once walked around the very edge of the rules, knowing the risks involved, and never taking the risk of not being able to, and since that time, he has never done anything so risky.

Some people may think that he is cowardly, but this kind of thing really has nothing to do with cowardice, but with the mind.

When you have nothing, you can naturally fight for everything; When there is capital, the so-called fight must be limited to the scope of the rules.

This is the simplest truth.

The reporters who surrounded the gate of the Wave Manor did not disperse because the owner did not show up, and there was a momentum that Murphy would never give up if he could not interview him.

After two days of fermentation in the shooting at the Chinese Grand Theater in Hollywood, more and more media began to lean on the identity and motive of the murderer to "Dark City", affected by the shooting, the film's North American box office also briefly had a big shock, and on the second day of the shooting, it only got less than $2 million in a single day, creating a new low since its release.

In the following two days, the single-day North American box office of "Dark City" has been hovering at a figure of a little more than $1 million, and it seems that the emergence of the shooting incident at the Chinese Grand Theater in Hollywood has overdrawn all the energy of "Dark City" in advance.

In addition, society and the media condemned the gunman and sympathized with the injured.

Three days after the shooting, the Los Angeles police convened their first press conference on the facts of the case, officially revealing numerous facts and updates on the case.

Murphy has been following the shooting at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, and has also watched the police press conference through the live broadcast of CNN News.

The information leaked by the police at the press conference was almost the same as what he had obtained before.

After three days of investigation, the Los Angeles police confirmed that the red baseball cap was the key to the case, and determined that the red baseball cap was dissatisfied with Murphy's "Diego Rose" because of his identity as a Catholic, and spread unfavorable news about Murphy everywhere, which may have triggered the gunman's murder.

On the other hand, they confirmed that the gunslinger was most likely Murphy or an avid fan of Dark City, as evidenced by the Painted Balls and "I'm a Proxy for Chaos" left behind at the scene.

In terms of the most important pursuit of the murderer, the police have not yet caught anyone, but they have announced to the media the possible identity of the gunman, a white man with short and medium black hair, about 5 feet 11 inches tall, and a relatively bloated body!

As the Los Angeles police held a public press conference to confirm some of the facts of the case, Murphy ended his brief retreat at the manor, and Twentieth Century Fox had a meeting for him to attend.

But Murphy didn't want to be disturbed by reporters, so he simply rented a helicopter, picked him up on the tarmac in the manor, and flew directly to the Fox Building, which also has an apron on the top floor of the building, so that he could easily get rid of the reporters.

"It seems that we need to buy a helicopter as well."

As soon as the helicopter took off, Murphy said to Gal Gadot, "It's a lot cleaner for your ears." ”

"Is it really pure?" Gal Gadot pointed outside, the engine roaring, "It's a bit loud." ”

At the door of the Wave Manor, many reporters watched a helicopter land behind the white villa, and the noise of the plane's engine could be faintly heard.

"Who is this?" A reporter asked curiously, "Come and visit Murphy Stanton at this time?" Or did you come by helicopter? ”

Another reporter's eyes widened, "Oh no, he's going to run!" ”

It dawned on the others that it didn't take long for them to see the helicopter take off and fly towards Century City.

"It's nice to be rich." A reporter couldn't help but envy, "You can make a helicopter when you go to a place so close to Century City!" ”

Century City and Wave Manor are in Beverly Hills, not far apart.

The reporter next to him raised his eyes, "Murphy Stanton, this is avoiding us!" ”

"What can we do to hide from us?" Another reporter said, "Can you fly up?" Can you catch up? ”

The first reporter directly raised the middle finger of the helicopter that had not disappeared, "Isn't it great to have money?" There's a lot of stinky money, so showy......"

No matter what the reporter said, they could only watch Murphy leave, and some of them were smart people, guessing that Murphy was going to Century City, either the Fox Building or the Death Star Building where CAA was located, and hurriedly chased after him.

By the time they reached Century City, Murphy was already sitting in the Twentieth Century Fox conference room.

"The current situation is not good for us, and a lot of media has planted this on Dark City."

In the conference room, Kara Firth looked serious, ""The Dark City" was too smooth before, don't look at those media who were singing praises before the incident, but there are a lot of people who hope that we are unlucky, and I am afraid that many people will jump out and step on us at this time." ”

"There are already quite a few media outlets doing this." Bill Rothes picked up the topic and said, "There are multiple newspapers attacking Dark City and Murphy for their unlimited cinematic violence that is the root cause of the shootings. ”

Although Murphy didn't say much, he knew very well that this kind of case under the banner of a magician was not reminiscent of "Dark City" as a strange thing, and the current public opinion can be said to be a very normal situation.

"The shooting at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood has affected the box office trend of "Dark City"!" Carla Firth continued, "The North American single-day box office has continued to decline in the last three days, and audiences have clearly been negatively affected by public opinion and events. ”

The culprit in the shooting may be an admirer of the magician, and the case also happened before the screening of "Dark City", which will inevitably affect the viewing choices of some fans.

If this kind of thing happens, it won't affect the film, it's impossible.

This was clear to everyone present, including Murphy.

Carla Firth added, "I have already said hello to the company, and the media under the Fox umbrella will fully cooperate with us and guide public opinion appropriately." ”

Murphy nodded, "I think we can guide this shooting to personal behavior." ”

"Yes." Carla Firth agrees, "Not every parody of a movie's violence comes from the movie, it's the individual who goes wrong!" ”

This kind of blind-eyed nonsense is not difficult for the news media and their people at all.

Since Carla Firth went to the Wave Manor that night to meet Murphy, Twentieth Century Fox developed a publicity and public relations strategy and began crisis public relations.

"One more point." Bill Rothes reminded, "Regardless of the killer's chance, the shooting happened in front of the theater where 'The Dark City' was about to be shown, and among the dead and wounded were those who were going to the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood to see 'The Dark City,' and we need to do something about it, especially for the dead and wounded." ”

"These things ......," Murphy took the initiative, "and leave it to me." ”

He, the director or the other leading actors of the film, is the best person to visit and comfort the injured.

"Let a couple of lead actors accompany you." Kara Firth suggested.

Murphy thought for a moment, "At this time, it's best for James not to show up for a while. ”

James Franco is now under more pressure than he is a film director.

"That's ......," Murphy said to his agent, "Bill, you say hello to Maggie and ask her to go to the hospital with me and Gadot, and Henry Cavill." ”

"Maggie, no problem." Bill Rothes is also Margot Robbie's agent, and he thought about it, "Henry Cavill is filming in Africa, and it is estimated that he will not come back." ”

"Alright, I'll go with Gadot and Maggie." Murphy made a decision immediately, "You communicate with the police and the hospital as soon as possible, and join forces with our media partners to see when it is convenient for us to come over." ”

Bill Rothes nodded, "No problem. ”

Now that things have come to this point, dodging is not a way at all, only to resolve as much as possible, and shootings are not a big deal in this country, there are always some happens every year.

The meeting quickly dispersed, everyone prepared their own work, and Murphy got on the helicopter again, knowing full well that the North American box office, which had been in good shape, would inevitably be dragged down.

Meanwhile, in a small office building in the Santa Monica Beach district, Archbishop Márquez Costello, who had just returned from the Vatican, was watching video of a Los Angeles police press conference on the shooting at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

He didn't expect that after a trip to the Vatican, there would be such a favorable situation in Los Angeles.

"Have you investigated?" Archbishop Márquez-Costello turned off the television and asked the assistant standing on the side, "Be sure that person is a devout Catholic." ”

The assistant said categorically, "I'm very sure!" Not only did he go to church every week, but he also defended the church on the Internet several times, attacking Murphy Stanton. ”

Archbishop Márquez Costello stood up and paced a few steps around his office, "This is a good opportunity to fight back!" ”
