In Santa Monica's beach area, the entrance of a small building with a cross on its head is bustling with people, but one of the offices in the building is so quiet that no one can easily come and disturb him, and Archbishop Márquez Costello is sitting in front of his computer, looking at the most retweeted messages on Facebook today.

After so many years of development, Archbishop Márquez-Costello has to admit that the influence of Catholicism in North America is not as good as before, not to mention regions like California, and even in the northeastern region of the United States, the number of devout Catholics is decreasing.

Sweeping his gaze over the messages, Archbishop Márquez-Costello saw an extremely familiar name, and then stopped scrolling.

"Murphy Stanton's new film "Dark City" is officially scheduled for next summer, and will be released simultaneously in North America and many countries and regions around the world from May 3rd!"

At the sight of the name, Archbishop Márquez-Costello immediately frowned.

In the first half of this year, His Excellency Pope Benedict XVI personally called him to inquire about the teaching work of the Diocese of South-Central California, and his dissatisfaction with him was already somewhat obvious, especially for his failure to suppress the film "Diego Rose" in time.

He then filed an investigative report that blamed Murphy Stanton and the film's negative influence, claiming that it was the Hollywood superdirector's deliberate smear that caused the spread of Catholicism in south-central California.

Although this kind of statement is a bit exaggerated, it can also reflect part of the facts, whether it is him, or the Vatican, it is very clear that the film industry has developed to the present, and the influence of a Hollywood super director is absolutely huge, in some ways, those actors and stars cannot be compared at all, they have won the crazy support of countless fans with their excellent works and reputation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the faith and God of some fans.

Murphy Stanton is just such a director!

Although it failed to prevent the release of "Diego Rose" and Murphy Stanton's big victory at the Oscars, the Catholic Church still has a few loyal fans in Hollywood, according to them, after Murphy Stanton won the Oscar for Best Director, he is definitely one of the top five superstars in the Hollywood industry.

Some people even told him that in today's era when Spielberg and Martin Scorsese and others are old, Ridley Scott is good and bad, and David Fincher has mediocre commercial results, the only super directors with the most global influence in Hollywood are James Cameron and Murphy Stanton!

After turning off the computer and sitting quietly for a while, Archbishop Márquez Costello remembered Pope Benedict XVI's exhortation to eliminate the negative impact of Murphy Stanton and Diego Rose as soon as possible and restore the credibility of the Catholic Diocese in south-central California!

It's easy to say, but it's hard to do in Hollywood's home base!

"How, exactly?"

This is a question that Archbishop Márquez-Costello necessarily has to consider.

The crew's post-production work continued, and the equally busy publicity and marketing promotion did not relax, and when December arrived, Murphy unveiled a series of new posters with James Franco as the main target.

"There's a new poster again?"

When she opened her Twitter account and entered the account of Murphy who she followed, Daisy immediately saw several brand new posters, "It seems to be a series of posters about magicians......"

She swiped her phone to look at them one by one, and the first thing that appeared was James Franco, who was wearing a cheap looking black ** sorcerer costume, standing in front of a glass window with a strange expression, and wrote a line of letters on the glass with a blood-red pen - "I'm.the.agent.of.chaos!"

"I'm an agent of chaos!" Daisy looked at her phone and muttered, "I'm the agent of chaos!" I'm a surrogate of chaos......"

These words penetrated through layers of obstacles, like a divine light, and directly entered the deepest part of Daisy's soul, making her suddenly realize: What she thought about in the past, to put it bluntly, isn't it chaos?

Chaos is needed to get those bastards who attacked Murphy to get the punishment they deserve, right?

Daisy's fingers slid unconsciously, and the posters behind her appeared one by one, the most eye-catching on them were evil magicians, and I saw him use a blood-red pen to draw a big red cross on the heads of Chris Dane, Jay Rachel and Inspector Lynch in front of him, which was bright red like the blood of these people.

"I see......," Daisy said, as if prompted, "I know what to do!" ”

She put away her phone, ran into the bedroom and rummaged through it, and finally found a bright red lipstick that she had bought many years ago in the corner of the makeup cabinet, unscrewed it and looked at it, put it in her handbag, grabbed a baseball cap with a large brim and went out of the house.

Getting into the red Chevrolet car parked on the side of the road, Daisy soon arrived at the nearest Catholic church, which seemed to be deserted because it was not a Sunday.

Daisy parked the car in a more private place in the distance, put on a baseball cap, changed into a very common coat, got out of the car and walked towards the church, she observed as she walked, and after seeing that there was no one around, she quickly quickened her pace and came to the gate of the church.

Standing here and looking up at the cross on the roof of the church inside, Daisy opened her handbag, took out the bright red lipstick, and drew a large red cross on the stone to the left of the door.

As if this was still not relieved, she twisted the lipstick out again, and wrote under the red cross: "I'm.the.agent.of.chaos!"

The bright red lipstick mark on the cyan stone slab stands out, like the blood of Christ......

After a satisfied look, Daisy quickly turned around and left, went around and returned to her car, got into the car, and quickly left here.

"It's a pity......"

Driving a red Chevrolet, Daisy was still sighing, "Until now, I haven't found the person who attacked Murphy, otherwise, you can directly carve a red cross on his face with a knife, then it will be really bright red!" ”

In the past few months, she has searched all the Catholic churches in the Los Angeles area, but she has not found the person who beat her up in the first place.

But Daisy knows that the Los Angeles area has a large population, and it is not easy to find someone, she will not give up easily, and some people have to pay for bad things!

In the Fox Building, where Twentieth Century Fox is located, Murphy is still busy with the post-production of "The Dark City", and in mid-December, a new awards season for the North American film industry kicks off, and countless actors flock to Los Angeles, such as Margot Robbie and James Franco, who had previously gone overseas to shoot other films, also returned to the City of Angels.

Murphy summoned them to his studio to complete their respective post-recordings.

The simultaneous sound usage rate of "Dark City" using live shooting sound is about 45 percent, which is a normal ratio for commercial films.

In today's era of relatively prosperous commercial films, the production cycle, including shooting scenes, shooting scheduling, is becoming more and more complex in all aspects, especially in dramas like "Dark City", which revolve around the city, the sound conditions will be greatly affected, so the sound quality of the same period is not guaranteed, and Murphy can't do it, which is an objective fact.

In the early preparation stage, Murphy asked James Franco and Henry Cavill to record part of the recording, but that was more to complete the role of the reference voice, so that in the post-dubbing, the crew could know what the actor was talking about, hear his emotions very clearly, and if possible, ensure the best quality of the dialogue.

In addition, a large number of sound materials must be recorded in the same period, such as group noise, the sound of a specific prop, and some scene things, which are difficult to find in the later stage. Including the recording of ambient sounds, recording a large number of sounds back will bring great convenience to post-production.

Of course, whether the actor's dubbing is good or not depends not only on the actor's own performance, but also directly related to the mixing and voice dialogue in the back.

The first step that Murphy asked the sound department to do was to edit the simultaneous sound.

As the director of the film, this part of the work is more left to a professional dubbing director, and the dubbing director will instruct the actors how to say the words, so that the voice can be real and credible.

Many times the actor's dubbing will have his own improvisation, which is very comic, and even adds to the whole dialogue.

Different characters have different ways of dubbing, and James Franco's voice is divided into two parts, one is a magician who seems to be normal, and the other is an extremely crazy magician.

These are first of all based on simultaneous sound, in fact, the post-dubbing of the film, either the sound quality does not meet the requirements of use, or Murphy or the sound designer has other ideas, in such a situation, Murphy will choose dubbing.

When dubbing, first of all, James Franco will try to imitate the simultaneous sound as much as possible, preferably to say exactly the same, to find the most subtle things in it, let him adjust it step by step.

Dubbing requires emotion on the one hand, and technology on the other, such as the signal-to-noise ratio and timbre of the voice, and Murphy sometimes asks James Franco to try to release his voice as much as possible in certain moods, and the pitch should be high or low, which is considered some adjustment in timbre, probably so.

"How's it going?"

When the work was done and the break was over, Murphy approached James Franco and asked with concern, "Have you recovered your emotions?" ”
