Catholicism in the United States is mainly concentrated in some states in the northeast, and it is not flourishing in the southwest, and in places like Southern California, religious forces are diverse, such as Christianity, Catholicism, Judaism, Scientology, Islam, and even Orthodox Christianity. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
And in general, Christianity has the largest number of believers.
But born and raised in Israel, Gal Gadot is well aware of the power of religion, especially in previous years, when "Child Abuse Suspicions" provoked a strong reaction from the Vatican......
"Honey!" Gal Gadot suppressed his dissatisfaction with Murphy these days in order to clear his mind enough, "Rose has helped you a lot, without him there would be no you, and there would be no us now, I can't stop you from making this biographical film for him." But don't get Catholicism involved, okay? β
Murphy knew what Gal Gadot was worried about, put his hands on her shoulders, and said, "This is the beginning of a transformation in Rose's life, and without this, Rose might have taken a completely different path." β
Gal Gadot stared at Murphy, "But that would cause a huge backlash from Catholicism!" β
Murphy was silent, and with his knowledge of Catholicism, it was true, and the other party might exert great pressure on him through various channels.
"Have you thought about it?" Gal Gadot continued, "This could plunge us into a vortex that we can't pull out, it could ruin our lives, and the religious forces are not as simple as you think, and they are even crazier than you think. β
"I know...... Murphy let go of his hand and walked back and forth, "they can't do anything to us." β
Gal Gadot turned his head angrily, as if he didn't want to look at Murphy, but still said, "Honey, when did you become so naΓ―ve!" β
Murphy knows very well that Gal Gadot is very worried about himself, and he also knows that she is telling the truth, with his current fame and appeal, if such a plot really appears in the next movie, it will definitely cause an uproar and cause a strong backlash from Catholicism.
Some time ago, he received detailed information from Robert, and went to the California State Penitentiary to meet with Diego Rose, and also confirmed something, and the finger was pointed at a regional archbishop......
"My dear ......" Murphy walked over and hugged Gal Gadot from behind, "when did I rush into battle without being prepared?" β
Gal Gadot turned his head and looked at him puzzled.
Murphy gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead before saying, "Believe me, no matter how much pressure Catholicism puts on me, I can withstand it, and I will pay it back tenfold and make them shut up eventually!" β
"You ......," Gal Gadot frowned, "what are you going to do?" β
"It's been a long time." Murphy stretched and pulled Gal Gadot up, "Let's go take a walk around the garden." β
With that, he pulled Gal Gadot out of the study, "Let's talk as we walk." β
In the early afternoon, the midday sun shone from the sky and fell on a country vacation home in Massachusetts, the blazing sun dispelling the haze of days on end, leaving the room sparkling and smelling of the sun.
The gray-haired Walter Robinson was just about to take a nap when the doorbell suddenly rang outside.
"Who is it?" He walked out of the door, through the courtyard, towards the gate, "Who will find me on vacation?" β
Near the gate, Walter Robinson looked out through the cat's eye, and there was a middle-aged man in a crisp suit, not very tall, with a briefcase in his pocket, looking extremely capable.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"Is that Mr. Walter Robinson, please?" The middle-aged man smiled warmly at the cat's eyes, "I was introduced by Mr. Daniel Black of The New York Times. β
Walter Robinson immediately remembered his fellow friend, who had been on the phone some time ago.
The middle-aged man continued, "I'm Bill Rothes, an innovative talent agency from Los Angeles. β
"Wait a minute."
As he spoke, Walter Robinson opened the door and reached out his hand, "Hello, Mr. Rossi, Daniel mentioned you to me. β
"Hello, Mr. Robinson." Bill Rothes shook his hand, "It's an honor to meet a Pulitzer Prize winner. β
"That's a collective honor."
That being said, Walter Robinson was in a pretty good mood and made a gesture of please, "Let's go in and talk." β
Led Bill Rothes into the living room, and the two sides sat on two adjacent couches, Walter Robinson said straight to the point, "Mr. Rothes......"
"Call me Bill......" Bill Rothes said with a laugh.
Walter Robinson nodded and asked, "You came to Massachusetts from Los Angeles specifically for something important, right?" β
Although he is engaged in the news media industry, he has never dealt with innovative talent management companies, and has little to do with the entertainment industry.
"I'm here on behalf of CAA and one of my clients."
There's no need to beat around the bush at this point, Bill Rothes said directly, "We're very interested in your Pulitzer Prize-winning news events." β
Walter Robinson immediately understood the purpose of his visit, "You're late, the newspaper is negotiating with Open Road Pictures." β
"I know...... "Bill Rothes had done it before he came, "so, I'm coming specifically to enlist your support." β
Empty words certainly don't impress, and Bill Rothes is well aware of this, so he continues, "Open Circuit Pictures is just a third-rate production company, and the person CAA is ready to work with is Twentieth Century Fox. β
The huge gap between the two studios is like a chasm that cannot be bridged.
Walter Robinson frowned slightly, recalling some information about the two companies.
If Bill Rothes wants to impress Walter Robinson and get him to help him, he has to give good enough terms.
"And ......," he added, "no one can guarantee what kind of director Open Roads Pictures will find when it gets the license, and the director is very important for a film." β
Walter Robinson nodded slightly, knowing it even if he didn't know much about the film industry.
"I'm here to reassure you on behalf of CAA and Twentieth Century Fox that this film will be shot in the future." Bill Rothes said very seriously, "The director will be Murphy Stanton!" β
Hearing this name, Walter Robinson was immediately moved, if a big Hollywood director directed, he would undoubtedly make the journalism he participated in have a higher chance of becoming a successful or classic film!
Bill Rothes struck while the iron was hot, "CAA and Twentieth Century Fox, as well as Murphy himself, are all Oscars!" β
"Really?" Walter Robinson still has doubts.
"Yes!" "If we can work with you, this can be written into the contract." β
He continued, "Walter and Murphy have always had a very good reputation for their films, and they have also been nominated for Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director. More than 65 percent of the Oscar winners of the last decade have been CAA clients, and if this film wins an Oscar, your story will surely spread all over the world and become a model and benchmark for the global press! β
"This ......," Walter Robinson's attitude has changed, and he thinks for a moment and says, "I'm going to think about it." β
Bill Rothes exchanged a few more polite words with him, stood up and left, while pulling out his business card and handing it over, "If you have any questions, you can always call me." β
Walter Robinson took the business card and put it away.
Walter Robinson was already thinking about it when he sent Bill Rothes out of the gate and towards the door of the villa, Murphy Stanton's fame in the film industry, he had heard, and Twentieth Century Fox was also one of the world's leading production and distribution companies, compared to these two men, it was obviously far behind the newspaper Pioneer Pictures, which was fighting for licensing......
If this news event is to be adapted into a movie, it seems that a powerful director and company are a better choice?
Thinking of this, Walter Robinson took a few quick steps, returned to the villa and picked up the phone, kept dialing, contacted his acquaintances in Hollywood, and got to know Murphy Stanton and Bill Rothes from the side.
I called several people in a row, and all of them praised Murphy Stanton's reputation, almost unanimously saying that he had the best reputation and had never been afraid to try some dark subjects.
As if Murphy Stanton is really a good fit? Walter Robinson is in no hurry to make a decision, and the newspaper's negotiations with Pathway Pictures have not progressed, so it is entirely possible to wait and see.
Leaving the country house, Bill Rothes got into the rental car, told the driver to go to Boston, opened his briefcase, and pulled out a document with a detailed description of another person, the journalist Mike Rezerenders, a former colleague and right-hand man of Walter Robinson.
Then, he flipped back to the material, and inside was the profile of a journalist, Sacha Pever, Marty Baron, Marlon Bradley......
Bill Rothes knew that Trail Pictures had a time advantage, and if he wanted to complete the work assigned by Murphy, he would have to find another shortcut, so while getting people to contact the Boston Globe, he was privately prepared to talk to the parties, as long as he could win their support, coupled with the alliance of CAA, Twentieth Century Fox and Murphy Stanton, Pioneer Pictures had to lose.
