Chapter 604

"Nice to see you again, father Costello."

In the reception room of the villa, Murphy saw the religious figure he had met at the wedding of James Franco and Lily Collins.

Gail gado also politely said hello to the father of Marquez Costello, and then asked for tea.

Father Marcus Costello sat on the sofa next to Murphy and said with a smile, "I came to Beverly Hills this morning to meet an old friend. I didn't expect that he had something to do. He happened to pass by your house. He thought of the pleasant meeting on the Caribbean Sea, so he came to see you."

"It's our pleasure." Murphy exchanged a look with Gail gado without any trace.

This kind of nonsense may be believed by devout people, but they just listen to it. The father of Marquez Costello is a Catholic Archbishop in Southern California. He is busy with religious affairs. It is said that as soon as his term of office arrives, he is likely to return to the Vatican to be promoted to Cardinal. How can he have leisure to pass by wave manor?

"I came all the way from the gate of the manor..." Father Marcus Costello always showed a warm smile, "did not see any signs related to religion."

"Ah?" Murphy thought for a moment and said, "the manor was decorated by foreign companies. Maybe they ignored it."

In fact, the decoration of wave manor was done according to Gail gado's idea. Gail gado believed in Judaism, but she knew that Murphy didn't believe in religion and other illusory things at all, so she didn't set up any facilities or decorations related to Judaism in the manor.

Father Marquez Costello raised his mouth slightly and said, "Mr. Stanton, if this house can be bathed in the Lord's..."

"Cough!" Gail gado coughed and said, "I'm sorry, I may have caught a cold recently."

Murphy quietly looked at the cup on the coffee table next to father malx Costello's sofa and made a gesture of invitation, "father, this is the best Longjing tea imported from the other side of the Pacific Ocean. It is said that the annual output is not even ten pounds. I entrusted a lot of relationships to buy it."

Listen to Murphy say so, Marquez - Costello God father had to take a cup of tea, drink, and then nodded his approval, "it's really good tea."

"It's a pity there's too little to buy." Murphy deliberately said, "if the priest is interested, he can take some back to drink slowly."

Father Marcus Costello quickly raised his hand and shook it. "I'm still more used to drinking black tea."

As he spoke, his brow slightly wrinkled. Just like the previous meeting, the director opposite obviously had no interest in talking about religious belief, and he didn't seem to be very interested in believing in Catholicism.

But he didn't come here for religious reasons.

After another sip of tea, father Marquez Costello asked tentatively, "I hear Mr. Stanton's new film is coming soon?"

"Yes." Murphy immediately increased vigilance, "starting next month will be in Los Angeles and New York in a few cinemas point."

Father Marcus Costello nodded. "I heard a few friends in Hollywood mention recently that there is something about Catholicism in your film?"

Although the film has not been fully produced and no one has seen it, it is impossible to keep it completely secret. Besides, at that time, the crew filmed the location in an abandoned Catholic Church.

Murphy believes that father Marcus Costello may have got some uncertain or shadowy news and want to come to the front station, otherwise he would not be so polite.

"There's a part of Catholicism in downtown Los Angeles in the 1980s." Murphy is really telling the truth, "the content is not much, and the theme of the film is not religion, but crime."

Hearing these words, father Marcus Costello took a look at Murphy and thought that what Murphy said should be the truth, with a more genial smile. "Mr. Stanton, if you shoot Catholic related subjects in the future, you can say hello to the church, and we will do our best to help you."

"Oh?" Murphy didn't seem to believe it.

"Father Marcus Costello added," we're happy to work with big directors like you. "

Murphy nodded. "If I shoot any more related subjects, I'll inform the priest."

"I will do my best." Father Marcus Costello put down his heart and stood up to say goodbye. "

Oh, I'll visit my old friend again. He should come back."

"Then I won't stay." Murphy didn't say anything hypocritical.

He also stood up and walked out of the villa with Gail gado and father Marcus Costello. Anyway, it was all guests, and they both had the basic etiquette.

As for what father Marcus Costello said to say hello to the Catholic Church, he naturally threw it aside. Even if he was photographing about this kind of religion, he would not trouble these people to say hello to them. Didn't he add a pair of scissors to his head?At the door of the villa, the driver of father Marcus Costello had driven the car. He walked out of the villa and was getting ready to get on the bus. Suddenly, he stopped.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing father Marcus Costello stop, Gail gado, who is behind Murphy, comes up to him, stops, frowns slightly, and says in a low voice, "is there anything else he needs?"

Murphy shook his head. "Who knows."

After all, father Marcus Costello is the Archbishop of the district. If he doesn't leave, Murphy, as the master, can't throw him out, can he?

"Mr. Stanton." Father Marcus Costello turned to Murphy and asked, "do you believe in heaven?"

Despite not knowing what father Marcus Costello had in mind when he asked, Murphy said, "I don't believe in heaven."

Father Marquez Costello was stunned for a moment and asked, "why?"

"Because my life is a hundred times better than heaven." Murphy looked aside. "For me, where Gail is, it's heaven."

He spread out his hand, "I am living in a real heaven now. Why should I believe in a nothingness heaven again?"

Gail gado quietly reaches out his right hand and holds Murphy's left hand firmly.

His eyes moved a little. Father Marcus Costello took a look at Gail gado. He couldn't believe that a Hollywood director would be so infatuated with a woman.

Father Marquez Costello pauses and asks, "do you believe in God?"

"It's no use believing in God or not..." Murphy said, "because God never believed us."

After listening to Murphy's words, father Marcus Costello gradually understood something, and knew that it would be very unlikely for him to develop this Hollywood director into a Catholic.

This is a typical atheist.

Father Marcos Costello no longer stops. He turns to get on the bus. Under the eyes of Murphy and Gail gado, the car bypasses the fountain and drives out of the wave manor along the road directly opposite the villa.

"He seems to have heard something." Gail gado looked back and said, "it's just not clear what it is."

"Don't worry about him." Murphy knows that after the film is released, it will certainly attract a lot of criticism, just like the original "child abuse doubt", and the criticism and Catholic Church's voice may be stronger. After all, his reputation and status are much bigger than that of John Patrick Stanley. He took the lead to return to the villa and said to Gail gado, "Hollywood has the freedom to film, which is the most important thing in the circle The basic rule is that if the Catholic Church is too loud, it's good for me

Are there few controversial films ever made in Hollywood? If Catholicism really criticizes him, he will definitely become the object of support of the whole Hollywood circle.

It's the United States, it's California, it's not the northeastern United States, it's Italy and other European countries.

After returning to the room and changing clothes, Murphy and Gail gado take a bus to Fox building and Stanton studio respectively. Murphy has entrusted Gail gado with the daily affairs of Stanton studio, so that he can devote most of his energy to the shooting and production of the film.

If a director is involved in too many things, it will definitely affect the quality of his works.

Murphy mainly deals with the work of dubbing and compositing. After all the dialogues and selected music are finished, let the sound effects editor match the film with different sound effects. So far, all the factors in the sound part of "Diego Ross" have been prepared, and there is another process that is to add the front and back subtitles to the film.

After that, Murphy made two copies of the final edited version of the film. One is a digital copy, which is used for later DVD suppression, network platform on-demand download, TV station broadcast, and so on; the other is a film copy, which is sent to 20th Century Fox for printing in the cinema.

By Sunday night, all the post production of "Diego Ross" had been completed, and Murphy had finished the planned work on time. Although the middle process was a little hasty and the pressure was heavy, he didn't miss the screening in December.

Before the screening, the film had to be sent to MPAA for rating. There was no problem that the film was rated as R. in the 20th century, fox itself had enough influence within MPAA. Moreover, the overall scale of the film was not particularly large, which was not comparable to Murphy's previous film Wall Street Wolf.

In this way, the rest of Murphy's work is to coordinate with 20th century fox to promote the film, and then wait for it to start shooting before Christmas.

The weekend before Thanksgiving is over, and doomsday has a good answer. (to be continued). )
