Chapter 706

Driving the SUV, Daisy followed the man into downtown Los Angeles. After turning several corners, she saw him stop outside an apartment building. Soon she got out of the car and entered the apartment building with a bag. It seemed that she lived here.

Daisy waited for nearly an hour to see the man change his clothes, come out with a black garbage bag, go to the alley behind the house, throw the garbage bag into the garbage can, then turn back and enter the apartment building.

"It looks like," Daisy nodded confidently, "that's where she lives."

She looked at the car's navigation, put her hand on the LCD screen, made a sign, started the car and left here.

"Asshole, I won't let you go!"

Driving the car, Daisy kept saying to herself, "you'll pay for what you've done!"

When she got home, she immediately found out the drawing board and drew a baseball cap on it. Then she imitated the magician's way of spreading terror in "dark city" and made more scarlet "X" on it!

In the past, Murphy was her faith, now the magician has become her faith!

Daisy believes that as long as she plans carefully, she will be able to cause chaos in Los Angeles like a magician!

Therefore, the first step is very critical. She is not allowed to take such covert actions as the previous beating on the beach, which can not bring chaos.

She needs explosive effect, choose a suitable place to do it, it's very important!

Before that, she had just conducted a successful campaign on IMDB, and Daisy was confident that she could do it.

With the easel right in the middle of the living room, Daisy goes to the background wall behind the sofa, which is a huge poster of the magician.

She raised her hand and brushed slowly from the magician, "since you can't come out, let me replace you to realize chaos."

In the next few days, Daisy went to the apartment where the red baseball cap lived almost every day, and gradually found out some rules of the other party's activities. Moreover, she also noticed that the Internet had stopped for a period of time to attack Murphy's slandering of Catholicism, and began to appear again, which seemed to have something to do with the red baseball cap.

However, Daisy has been planning instead of doing it. She knows that she is a woman and needs a stronger body to cause chaos. Therefore, she goes to the gun club and fitness club more frequently, and even adds some fitness equipment to her home.

May has come to the end of the month, and "dark city" is about to start its fifth weekend of screening in North America. It is also facing the challenge of Sony Columbia Pictures' "sky shaking crisis". This super commercial blockbuster with a production cost of up to 150 million US dollars, directed by Roland Emmerich, who is loyal to destroying the earth, is still quite attractive to movie fans .

In any case, with the great success of independence day, the day after tomorrow and 2012, Roland Emmerich can be listed as a leading commercial director in Hollywood.

Roland Emmerich is a fanatical destroyer of the White House. He once let aliens destroy the building in "Independence Day" released in 1997, and let the aircraft carrier "John F. Kennedy" pass through it in "2012". This time, he is going to turn a group of terrorists into demolition teams.

Frankly speaking, the theme of destroying the White House can really attract a lot of audience.

Murphy has heard that Sony Columbia Pictures spent $3 million to buy the script from James Van der beert. The deal was also called "the most expensive script sale in recent years" by Hollywood Reporter.

Once upon a time, Murphy saw this action blockbuster with the White House as the battlefield. Although it won't get much score in originality, seriousness and subtlety, it's really very interesting. I have to admit that Roland Emmerich is a great silver screen showman. He knows how to present large-scale chaotic scenes on the stage.

For the audience who like the pure popcorn movie, "the sky shaking crisis" still has a certain attraction.

In the coming weekend of memorial day, this commercial masterpiece of Sony Columbia Pictures reaped more than $21 million in three days, ranking second in the North American box office list with a gap of $3 million!

Murphy's film still topped the North American box office five times in a row, closing at $24 million on the weekend of its fifth week, continuing to lead the North American box office list.

Plus the $16 million in the previous four working days, "dark city" took $30 million from the North American cinema market in the seven days of this week, with a total box office of $662.1 million in North America.

Since then, "dark city" has successfully surpassed the $658.67 million of "Titanic" and ranked second in the North American box office!

Murphy broke James Cameron's monopoly on the top two box office rankings in North America, and made countless American media sing praises again.

The new issue of time magazine directly lists Murphy as its cover character."As a top Hollywood director, Murphy Stanton has the qualities of God or empire builder. He is not only an expert in pop culture, but also the director most needed by Hollywood's increasingly homogenized film circle!"

The flattery of other media is no weaker than that of time.

"Murphy Stanton is God's pet!"

"In front of Murphy Stanton, except for James Cameron, he is the only one left!"

"Since the birth of the film industry, no director has been able to build a stronger commercial appeal than the Hollywood superstar like Murphy Stanton."

Even in North America, a lot of media can't wait to issue such a title: in the case of James Cameron's scarce production, Murphy Stanton is the real king of commercial films!

It is no exaggeration to say that the upsurge of "dark city" in North America has long gone beyond the scope of film and become a social and cultural phenomenon.

Murphy himself is also very clear that the North American box office of "dark city" will not be a problem. Now the most important thing is the global box office. Only by making efforts in the overseas market can we push the global box office of "dark city" over the $2 billion mark as soon as possible.

The population of North America is limited. The total population of the United States and Canada together is only 350 million. Considering the foreign population and the stowaways who will buy tickets for movies, the market of 400 million people is at most, and the box office of 700 million US dollars has almost reached the ceiling. After all, it is impossible for everyone in North America to like Murphy and "dark city" and make any movie That's not the point.

Fortunately, the overseas performance of "city of darkness" is not bad at all.

In the past, the box office of Murphy's films in North America was basically better than that in overseas. Even if the number of overseas box office was higher than that in North America, it was not much higher, which was not consistent with the development trend of Hollywood blockbusters.

This can be said to be a result of the film type and personal style.

However, after years of efforts, Murphy has been among the top Hollywood directors. The appeal of a top Hollywood director is huge in the global market. The city of darkness has also got rid of the previous situation, and the overseas response is quite enthusiastic.

In areas outside North America, from Latin America to Europe, from the Middle East to the Far East, from Australia to Russia, the mainstream media in many countries can see information related to the city of darkness everywhere.

"City of darkness and its director, Murphy Stanton, are making an impact on the record. This film has won the box office rankings in all the distribution countries, and gradually formed a unique phenomenon. Parents take their children to see it, and the younger generation takes their elders to see it. This is a cross age experience sharing. It broke the barriers of language, culture and religion, and set off an upsurge of watching movies all over the world. This trend continues to last... "

"If you sit on the subway, you can hear people around you talking about the film, Chris Dann, the madness of the magician, and the chaos, law, human rights and other philosophical issues that Murphy Stanton wants to express through the film..."

Even in overseas areas, the influence of "dark city" has gone beyond the scope of film and become a cultural or social phenomenon.

Although those European directors who are full of envy and jealousy constantly attack "the city of darkness" with all their strength, there is no artistry to speak of. Except for the IMAX panoramic pictures, which are sensational and sensational dog blood plots, they can not stop the progress of the film.

What kind of movies do most people like? This kind of question can be answered without being asked.

Even the mainstream media in Europe can only praise the growing ranks of ticket buyers and the growing fear of Box Office figures.

"Murphy Stanton is becoming the leader of world trend culture!"

"Although 2013 has just started for half a year, we can confirm that no one can be more influential than Murphy Stanton. His place is the focus and center of the world! His words and actions can easily attract the public's attention and make headlines in the major media. "

In the praise of overseas films, the overseas box office of "dark city" has reached 1.2 billion US dollars, and the global box office has reached 1.862.8 billion US dollars!

It's far from the end. The film has only been shown for five weeks. Although the box office of the film may drop to less than $2 million from the beginning of the new week, there is still a long way to go in North America and around the world.

This new Monday, memorial day, is also a public holiday in North America. However, Archbishop Marcos Costello held a news conference.
