Hollywood Road

The Fox TV interview program was over long ago, and the TV was turned off. No sound was heard quietly in the living room. Daisy stood motionless, her white face under her short blond hair, as cold as Antarctica's immortal for thousands of years. The ice and snow can freeze the whole house at any time.

"Traitor!" Daisy had only this thought in her head, "Murphy Stanton is a traitor!"

More than ten years ago, she was a girl who was just sixteen years old. She was crazy infatuated with his movies, and then she crazily worshipped his dark and evil ideas. He stayed with her for ten years. She also walked with him for ten years. She admired him so much, thinking that he was her belief...

Only at this moment did Daisy realize that she was wrong.

Her heart has not changed since the beginning of the decade, but Murphy, who has gone from an unknown rookie to a super director, has changed.

He is no longer mad, no longer dark, no longer evil, no longer maverick, he has become like other people in Hollywood, no thought, no soul...

If this is the case, then forget it, anyway, now she has a new faith, and she will be a passerby after a big deal, but he openly accused her on the TV show, this is not a traitor, and what is it?

He betrayed the original idea, betrayed the dark mind, betrayed the evil essence, and more importantly, he betrayed...her!

Thinking of this, Daisy's heart throbbed, the kind of spiritual pain, the kind of loss that was abandoned by her own beliefs, was more painful than broken bones, more uncomfortable, and made her crazy!

Daisy felt her body tremble inexplicably and could no longer stand. She squatted on the ground, firmly supported the floor with her hands, opened her mouth and made a retching sound. Two lines of tears flowed slowly down her white cheeks.

She squatted here, tears dripping down, and the pain in her heart flowed with the tears, and the past worship of Murphy also disappeared.

I don’t know how long it took. Daisy’s tears were almost all drained. She finally felt much better. She stood up slowly with her two hands resting on the floor, and then raised her hand to wipe the last of her eyes. With tears, the expression on his face hardened bit by bit, as if it had completely turned into a cold stone.

"I was betrayed!" she muttered to herself, "I was betrayed..."

After a few murmurs, Daisy turned and walked towards the basement, muttering to herself as she walked, "The traitor must pay! The price of life!"

She walked through the corridor to the entrance of the basement, unlocked the mechanical lock on the door, and walked down the stairs step by step, each step being unusually slow and heavy.

Entering the basement, Daisy looked up at the huge magician photo frame on the wall, "Only you will not change, you are my... faith!"

She went to a corner of the basement, rummaged through the shelves, and found a huge poster of Murphy, which she had posted in the house before.

Daisy unfolded the poster and saw Murphy Stanton with a faint smile on it, her eyes became extremely sharp in an instant.

"Traitor!" She unconsciously jumped out of her mouth, "Damn...traitor!"

Resisting the urge to tear the poster to pieces, Daisy stuck it on the basement wall, took out a bright red lipstick, and wrote a line of "traitor" on the poster.

She stood opposite the poster and looked at it for a while, then raised the hand holding the lipstick again, and painted a red "X" symbol on Murphy Stanton's head on the poster!

In this case, let that black, crazy and evil Murphy live in his own memory!

After the TV interview, despite the controversy and public opinion criticizing "Dark City", the fans of Murphy who had only fought back in the past have united. How can scattered attacks be comparable to overall combat? The Internet quickly appeared With the massive support of Murphy and "Dark City", coupled with the media under Twentieth Century Fox and News Corporation, public opinion split into two factions at a time.

Headed by some media that support Catholicism, one group frantically criticized Murphy and "The Dark City", and even Hollywood movies and its self-censorship system; the other group firmly stood on the position of Murphy and the film industry.

Especially the media related to the six major Hollywood companies, after some of the remarks of Archbishop Marquez Costello were exposed, they all faintly sided with Murphy.

To a certain extent, they share common interests with Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox, and Hollywood's film industry has developed to its current prosperous situation, and no one wants to let the power of the church come in.

Who likes to make money and is making money, when someone suddenly jumps out and puts on a pair of handcuffs that restrict freedom of movement?

Murphy also commissioned a professional investigative company to understand the public's opinion, which is the position of ordinary people to be precise.

The results of the survey were quickly fed back to Murphy. Among the more than 6,000 people that the survey company asked from the streets and alleys of major cities in the United States, nearly 85 percent of them had surprisingly consistent views-it’s my ass. thing!

In detail, after the shooting at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood and the subsequent murder in the park, as well as the media's crazy criticism of "Dark City", how to eat and drink, how to drink and how to drink. How to sleep and how to sleep, how to play or how to play, just treat these as some talk after dinner, just as a pure bystander standing aside and watching the excitement.

As for the so-called negative effects of "Dark City" or Hollywood movies? These people don't care at all.

How to think and how to do it is basically two different things. In many cases, it is not the head but the position of the buttocks that determines the position of the person. For example, the Catholic Church. Why did they hold onto this incident? It is only because the victims are Catholic Christian?

It is impossible to say that things like movies cannot affect society. Just as movies themselves are deeply affected by the social environment, hot movies will in turn affect society.

Gradually, many mainstream media quietly stood on Murphy's side.

"At any time, movies should not give up the promotion of mainstream values. These values ​​have nothing to do with ideology and have universal values. Movies should not become an aspirin that paralyzes the audience’s ignorance of reality, nor should they become the audience’s heart. Formalin kept fresh on the dark side of the dark rotting."

"The most fascinating feature of the movie is that she can create a dream world for people, temporarily forget her worries, and find her own happiness and satisfaction in the illusory world."

"Of course, this kind of happiness and satisfaction cannot be based on the suffering of other people."

"It would be too much to make movies pay for real social phenomena."

When the Archbishop Marquez Costello and the Catholic Church showed their ambitions for Hollywood, many media suddenly changed their positions, from criticizing Murphy before and becoming supporters.

Most of these media come from NBCUniversal Group, News Corporation, Walt Disney, Conscart, and even Time Warner. They have a common feature. They all have a powerful Hollywood film production and distribution company. Maybe just look at the ticket real estate. These film companies are insignificant in the huge industrial composition of these media groups, but they are the most important content providers. It is precisely with these content that media groups can derive even larger industrial groups.

For example, Walt Disney and Time Warner are among the most representative companies.

However, the controversy in the media about "Dark City" did not stop there, and some of the power behind the media did not want to stop there.

"The reason why Murphy Stanton and his works are frightening is that you can feel the tremendous inflammatory nature brought to people by the movie. It evokes everyone's sense of resistance to the existing social rules. The audience often sees the last It will begin to expect the villains to kill the positive characters. The positive characters have become the biggest obstacle to the social revolution. Instead, these villains have become heroes who destroy the state apparatus and have caused people to follow suit."

This is pretty good, and some of the comments are directed at Murphy himself.

"Only a lunatic director like Murphy Stanton in this world can create a perverted anti-social character like a magician, resulting in a crazy killer imitating the magician!"

Some so-called well-informed people revealed to the media, “Murphy Stanton also said in private that so many things have happened, and I don’t know if I should blame the murderer or myself...”

Public opinion is often the vanguard of some actions!

With the occurrence of the second phase of the murder, the situation has become more and more complicated, and even some moral organizations and religious people have appeared in front of the Fox Building in Century City and the Wave Manor in Beverly Hills one after another after the Independence Day holiday. Nearby, not only raised various slogans and flags in protest, but also suggested that the federal government force "Dark City" to be downgraded.

It is very difficult for these so-called organizations to really accomplish anything, but no one can ignore their ability to disrupt.

Especially religious organizations dominated by the Catholic Church. Even though they have little influence in central and southern California, they have many believers. They gathered hundreds or even thousands of devout believers to protest in front of Murphy’s house. Difficult.

Although the pressure is huge, Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox will never agree to their unreasonable request that "Dark City" will be downgraded in advance. This kind of thing does not need to be thought of.

And those people not only apologized to "Dark City", but Murphy publicly apologized, especially to the Catholic Church, to reflect on their own filmmaking ideas, and past practices that slandered the Catholic Church.

Faced with this complicated situation, the Stanton members who had been filming around the world rushed back to Los Angeles to support Murphy in various forms.
