Chapter 675

In the beach area of Santa Monica, people come and go at the door of a small building with a cross on its head. However, an office in the building is very quiet and no one will disturb it easily. Archbishop Marquez Costello is sitting in front of his computer, looking at the most forwarded messages on Facebook today.

These news basically have nothing to do with Catholicism. After so many years of development, Archbishop Marcos Costello has to admit that the influence of Catholicism in North America is not as good as it used to be, not to mention California, even in the northeast of the United States, the number of devout Catholics is decreasing.

Glancing over the messages one by one, Archbishop Marcos Costello saw a very familiar name, and then stopped the rolling mouse.

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

At the sight of the name, Archbishop Marquez Costello immediately frowned.

In the first half of this year, Pope Benedict XVI personally called him to inquire about the clerical work of the Central South diocese in California. His dissatisfaction with him was obvious, especially for his failure to suppress the film "Diego Ross" in time.

He then submitted a related investigation report, which put a series of problems on Murphy Stanton and the negative influence brought by the film, claiming that it was the deliberate smear of the Hollywood super director that caused the negative spread of Catholicism in south central California.

Although this kind of words is a bit exaggerated, it can also reflect some facts. Both he and the Vatican are very clear that the influence of a Hollywood super director is absolutely huge with the development of the film industry. In some ways, those actors and stars can't be compared at all. With their excellent works and word-of-mouth, they have won the crazy support of countless fans It's not too much to hold, even to say, some fans' faith and God.

Murphy Stanton is such a director!

Although it failed to prevent the release of "Diego Ross" and the victory of Murphy Stanton at the Oscars, the Catholic Church still has several loyal supporters in Hollywood. According to them, after Murphy Stanton won the best director Oscar, he is definitely one of the top five super directors in the Hollywood industry.

Some people even told him that today, when Spielberg and Martin Scorsese are getting old, Radley Scott is getting better and worse, and David finch's business performance is mediocre, only James Cameron and Murphy Stanton are Hollywood's most influential super directors in the world!

After turning off the computer and sitting quietly for a while, Archbishop Marcos Costello remembered Pope Benedict's advice that we must eliminate the negative effects of Murphy Stanton and "Diego Ross" as soon as possible, and restore the credibility of Catholicism in central and Southern California diocese!

This kind of thing is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do in the Hollywood base area!

"What should we do?"

This is a question that Archbishop Marcos Costello must consider.

In December, Murphy announced a series of brand-new posters with James Franco as the main target.

"There's a new poster?"

When she opens her twitter and enters Murphy's account, Daisy immediately sees several brand-new posters, "it's like a series of posters about magicians..."

She swipes her mobile phone to watch one by one. The first one to appear is James Franco, who is wearing a cheap black magician costume. He stands in front of a glass window with a strange look and writes a line of letters on the glass with a blood red pen - "I'm the.agent.of . chaos! "

" I am the agent of chaos! " Daisy looked at her cell phone and murmured, "I'm the agent of chaos! I am the agent of chaos... "

This words penetrated through the layers of obstacles, like a divine light, directly into the deepest soul of daisy, and made her suddenly realize that what she thought in the past, frankly speaking, was not chaos?

Chaos is also needed to get those bastards who attack Murphy the punishment they deserve, isn't it?

Daisy's fingers slide unconsciously, and the posters appear one by one. The most eye-catching ones on them are evil magicians. He uses a blood red pen to draw a big red fork on the heads of Chris Dann, Jay Rachel and detective Lynch in front of them, which looks like the blood of these people.

"I see..." Daisy seemed to get a hint. "I know what to do!"

she put her mobile phone away and ran into the bedroom for a good search. Finally, in the corner of the makeup cabinet, she found a bright red lipstick bought many years ago. She opened it and looked at it. She put it in her handbag and grabbed a baseball hat with a big hat on her back and went out.

On the red Chevy car parked at the roadside, Daisy quickly came to a Catholic Church nearest to her home. Because it was not a Sunday, there was no one outside the church, which was quite cold.Daisy parked her car in a secluded place in the distance, put on her baseball cap and changed into a very common coat. She got out of the car and walked towards the church. As she walked, she watched. Seeing that there was no one around her, she speeded up and came to the church gate.

Standing here, looking up at the cross on the top of the church building, Daisy opened her handbag, took out the bright red lipstick, and drew a big red fork on the stone on the left side of the gate.

As if this was not enough, she twisted the lipstick and wrote under the red fork: "I'm the.agent.of . chaos! "

the bright red lipstick marks on the blue slate are very conspicuous, like the blood of Christ

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

"What a pity..."

Driving a red Chevy, Daisy still sighs, "up to now, I haven't found the man who attacked Murphy. Otherwise, I can directly carve a red fork on his face with a knife. That's the real bright red!"

In the past few months, she's been searching Catholic churches in the Los Angeles area, but hasn't found the person she beat up.

But Daisy knows that Los Angeles has a large population. It's not easy to find someone. She won't give up easily. If some people do bad things, they have to pay the price!

In the fox building where 20th century fox is located, Murphy is still busy with the post production of "dark city". After entering the middle of December, a new award season of North American film circle begins, and countless actors flock to Los Angeles. For example, Margot Robbie and James Franco, who went overseas to shoot other films, have also returned to the city of angels.

Murphy called them to his studio to complete their own post recording.

The use rate of live sound in "dark city" is about 45%, which is a normal proportion for commercial films.

In today's prosperous era of commercial films, the production cycle, including shooting scenes and scheduling, is becoming more and more complex. Especially for the city centered drama like "dark city", the sound conditions will be greatly affected, so the sound quality of the same period can not be guaranteed, and Murphy can not help it. This is an objective fact.

In the early stage of preparation, Murphy asked James Franco and Henry Carvel to record part of the recording, but that is more to complete the role of reference sound, so that in the later dubbing, the crew can know what the actor is talking about and hear his emotions clearly. If possible, the recording of dialogue ensures the best quality.

In addition, a large number of sound materials will be recorded in the same period, such as miscellaneous sound, sound related to a specific prop, and some things on the scene, which are difficult to find in the later stage. Including environmental sound recording, recording a lot of sound back, will bring great convenience to post production.

Of course, whether an actor's voice is good or not depends not only on the performance of the actor himself, but also on the mixing and voice dialogue behind him.

The first step Murphy asked the sound department to do was to edit the sound at the same time.

He will put all the simultaneous sounds together, the one that can't be used. Technically speaking, it is necessary to dub. As the director of the film, this part of the work is more completed by the professional dubbing director. The dubbing director will guide the actors how to say words, so that the voice can be authentic.

Most of the time, the actor's voice will have his own improvisation, which is very happy, and even adds icing on the cake to the whole dialogue.

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

These are based on the sound of the same period. In fact, in the later 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 this case, Murphy will choose dubbing. James as like as two peas, when he dubbed

, he will first let James Franco try to imitate the same period sound, preferably to say exactly the same thing, and find out the smallest things in it, and let him adjust step by step.

On the one hand, dubbing requires emotion, on the other hand, it requires technology, such as the signal-to-noise ratio and timbre of the sound. Murphy sometimes asks James Franco to play out his voice as much as possible in some emotions, and the tone should be high or low, which can be regarded as some adjustments in timbre, about this.

"How are you doing?"

When the work is finished and the break is over, Murphy finds James Franco and asks with concern, "are you feeling better?"
