"You three, go and drink ......"

Murphy waved his hand to the James Franco trio, then shouted to David Robbie, the gaffer on the other side who was chatting with Paul Wilson, "David, come here, come here." ”

"Here we are." David Robbie hurried over.

"David," Carey Mulligan said first, "when we were just talking about vacation, you talked about your hometown, and Murphy and I were going on vacation. ”

"Are you going to Australia?" David Robbie stuffed his cup to Jonah Hill, who was walking away from this side, and said, "Australia is not the best season to visit. ”

Carey Mulligan didn't care at all, instead saying, "I don't like places where it's hot, so I might as well stay in Los Angeles." ”

Murphy knew that David Robbie was Australian, but he didn't know where his hometown was, after all, Australia was so big.

"David," he asked, "where is your hometown?" Sydney? ”

"Oh, no," David Robbie said, shaking his somewhat dizzy head, and when he was a little more sober, "in a small city in Queensland, near the Gold Coast." ”

The Gold Coast is a tourist destination in Australia, and Murphy has heard of it.

David Robbie added, "My home is in the country, and my grandparents have inherited a large farm where hares and wild deer are rampant, and now is the best hunting season. ”

With that, he looked at Carey Mulligan, who in turn looked at Murphy, "I've never hunted." ”

Her bright eyes looked at Murphy expectantly, and Murphy thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

It's not bad to go hunting in Australia, but after living on both sides of the Pacific for so long, I've never fired a gun.

The celebration lasted until the early hours of the morning, and when it dispersed, Murphy found that the paparazzi were following behind the car, thinking that he had stalked others to ask for a living, but now he has become the target of others to ask for a life, and he is still a little emotional in his heart.

The world is always changing so fast.

Although it is said that it is going to Australia for a vacation, it cannot be said that it will go, "Chainsaw" has not yet been removed from North America, there is still a series of work to deal with between Stanton Studio and Fox Searchlight, and the time is gradually approaching September 11, Murphy is also a little resistant to flying, and the safest thing now is to stay on the ground in Los Angeles.

In the last few days, Murphy has been on the phone with friends when he has nothing to do, discussing his drawing and stealing talents with James Franco, talking to Jonah Hill about how to make humor and jokes just right, and Tonseth Rogan talking about the use of a fat man in a film......

There is also Carla Firth, although she did not go out for coffee together because she was very busy with each other's work, but the two kept in touch on the phone, and according to Carla Fez, she is about to be promoted again and may enter the Fox TV branch in Los Angeles in an extremely important position.

In short, she was so busy that it was impossible for her to leave Los Angeles.

And then there's Rose, although the relationship between the two is estranged after taking different paths, Murphy hasn't forgotten him, and Rose seems to be in some trouble lately, and he won't leave the City of Angels.

As for Carey Mulligan, Murphy doesn't have to worry at all, she maintains a two-point line between acting school and Stanton Studios, and rarely goes anywhere else except for the occasional shopping out with Elizabeth Banks.

All the people who are close to him will not appear in the wrong place during that special time period.

Even if Uncle Lantern's side may change due to the butterfly effect, it is unlikely that he will choose the City of Angels, which lacks tall buildings, as a target.

On an ordinary Tuesday morning, Murphy sent Carey Mulligan to acting school, returned to the Stanton studio, and explained that the telephone operator Rosa Rodriguez had nothing important to bother him, went to the bedroom on the second floor, turned on the TV, and began to switch frequently between the major news stations, wanting to see the relevant news as soon as possible.

He vaguely remembered that the attack seemed to have happened around nine o'clock, when a television station happened to be doing a program nearby, and it turned into a live broadcast.

CNN, Fox News, CBS, NBC, NBC, ...... The clock had crossed nine o'clock, and Murphy had searched all the major news stations, but there was not a single report related to the terrorist attack.

After waiting for another half an hour, the previous qiē still didn't happen.

Could it be that because of the appearance of this insignificant little butterfly, the world will change so dramatically?

Murphy frowned, would his influence really be so big?

It's not that he underestimates himself, but after he came to this world, he really didn't do much, and even if it changed, it would be the fate of a few people at best, and it was limited to Los Angeles and even Hollywood.

Waiting until ten o'clock, Murphy got up and walked to the window to the south, and looked up into the distance, where the sun gradually turned to this side, and the bright sunlight shone down, with a heat peculiar to Southern California.

Southern california? California? Thinking of this, Murphy couldn't help but pat himself on the forehead hard, after coming here for so long, he was still used to using a time for the whole country, instead of distinguishing between western time and eastern time.

911 happened in New York, which is the east coast of the United States, and where I am located is Southern California, which is located on the west coast, and the two places are jet lagged!

He came here except for going out for a spin to promote "Chainsaw", and stayed in Los Angeles the rest of the time, ignoring the jet lag at all, but misleading himself by his habits.

Thinking about this, Murphy went out for a spin, and when he came back, he made a cup of coffee, sat in front of the TV and waited patiently.

As he had seen, when it was close to nine o'clock EST, a passenger plane crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center, and these were all reports from the side, and the impact on people was not very strong, and then another plane flew over the TV screen and hit the south tower of the Twin Towers, and the raging flames and thick smoke immediately rose from the place where it was hit, and the TV screen was panicked from the host to the people on the street to the rescuers.

Not many people know what happened, and even less what kind of impact this will have on the world as a whole.

About ten minutes later, Murphy's cell phone rang, and Kerry Mulligan's slightly panicked voice came from inside, "Did you watch the news?" It looks like New York has been attacked by missiles! It's horrible! ”

"I watched." Murphy comforted, "God will bless New York, my dear." ”

He then advised, "You stay in school, don't go anywhere." ”

Over there, Carey Mulligan had just hung up when Murphy's phone rang again, this time with James Franco.

"Hey, Murphy!" He asked aloud, "Did you watch the news?" Do you know what's going on in New York? ”

Murphy replied as calmly as possible, "It seems to be a terrorist attack, and there is no definite news right now." ”

Like this small group centered on Murphy, the event quickly became the focus of discussion across the United States, from traditional television programs to new online media, forums and blogs.

Murphy confirmed only one thing, none of the friends he had made here were in New York, and none of them were at the World Trade Tower.

That's enough for him.

Subsequently, everything that should have happened happened, the Pentagon was slammed, the twin towers of the World Trade Center collapsed one after another, and the US airspace banned any civilian aircraft from taking to the air, and George W. Bush stood up to speak, confirming that it was a terrorist attack......

There is no doubt that this is the heaviest blow to the United States itself, and the fairy tale of peace that the United States can stay out of the world has been completely shattered, and another social change is about to begin.

Seeing the qiē that happened on the TV screen, Murphy couldn't help but think of Fahrenheit 911, if this documentary was produced, it would definitely become famous overnight, and even his own name could spread all over the United States and even the world.

But is it worth it?

After thinking for only two seconds, Murphy shook his head.

No matter how many times Washington authorities are hacked in the film, there is no doubt about the power of the White House, and in such an emergency, it is a fool to stand on the opposite side of the government.

That's right, Fahrenheit 911 was once very popular and caused a lot of controversy, but it has never become the mainstream voice in the United States, and even in Hollywood, which has always liked the black federal government, it has been infinitely marginalized.

Even if Fahrenheit 911 is real, so what? The George W. Bush family has a close relationship with the **** family, and the entire 911 incident is a conspiracy, what does it matter to you?

In these matters, Murphy's consciousness has always been very high, and the United States does not give him a good impression, and he is more than 108,000 miles away from the rumored heaven, but this does not mean that he wants to be a pioneer in exposing the so-called truth.

The world has changed dramatically, Hollywood has changed, and the film industry has been hit the hardest.

The whole country is immersed in an atmosphere of grief, not many people go to the theaters, and those films that can be associated with terrorist attacks or brutal killings are not cared for, and the public's psychological tolerance for movies has even dropped to the lowest point since the advent of Hollywood.

In September, the traditional horror film release season in North America was destined to become the Waterloo of many horror films.

The reality caused by 911 is too cruel, and few people are willing to accept the impact and torture of horror movies in the theater, not only horror films, but almost all types of films have been affected by the severe zhòng, and there has been a rare desertion in the theater for more than ten years.

Films of the genre like "Chainsaw" were the most affected, and after the 911 terrorist attacks, there were originally less than 200 theaters left, and they also removed the film.

However, the film's final box office results were amazing enough. (To be continued.) )
