Chapter 718

Hang up bill - rosis phone, Murphy sitting on the sofa in the living room, face abnormal serious, frown tightly, he got a bad can not be worse news - the magician killed again!

Los Angeles police received a report at noon today. A paper box suspected of explosives was found in a park between Burbank and Malibu. The police immediately sent a large number of police to block the scene, and sent out bomb disposal experts and bomb disposal robots. However, it was a false alarm. Inside the box were all colorful magic balls with black letters on them Letters - I am the agent of chaos!

There was no bomb, Los Angeles Police breathed a sigh, but the words on the magic ball made them nervous.

Subsequently, the police deployed people to conduct a carpet search of the park and its surrounding areas. As a result, a man's body was found in the pool in the northwest corner of the park. The dead man was shot through his head. There was a colorful magic ball in his pocket, which also said "I am the agent of chaos"!

Another man was killed by a magician, which is not good news for Murphy.

Even, the media may set off a storm of public opinion far beyond the present, completely drowning the city of darkness in the wave of criticism.

"Who is it?" Murphy is also very curious, "things should be so crazy!"

The police didn't get too many valuable clues this time. In the past, no one was influenced by the film and did some crazy things. However, he had never heard of such a planned person without leaving too many traces.

Is it true that the film "city of darkness" will create a real version of the crazy magician?

Although he is not a good man, the murderer committed crimes one after another. In Murphy's opinion, it can be described as insanity.

What's more, this guy doesn't have to commit a crime, but he and his movie are dragged into a huge whirlpool.

The next day, more news reached Murphy through Robert, a lawyer.

Griffin Beckman, also a Catholic, was killed. He once publicly attacked the plot about Catholicism in Murphy's "Diego Ross" in the form of real name on his twitter and Facebook. Although the number of attacks was not many, only a few of them were quite fierce.

In addition, the bullet that led to the death of Griffin Beckerman came from a Glock pistol. The magic ball on his body and the handwriting on the ball are exactly the same material as those thrown in front of the Chinese Grand Theater in Hollywood. It can be judged that the two cases are most likely committed by the same person.

In addition, the Los Angeles police are still not getting too many clues.

The occurrence of this case, but also let the police and the outside world to further determine that the killer is Murphy's fans!

But Murphy has too many fans. As a so-called native Los Angeles director, he has hundreds of thousands of diehard supporters in the city of angels.

Soon, the Los Angeles police spokesman in an interview with media reporters, released a very negative comment on Murphy and "dark city".

"Behind the shooting of China Grand Theater in Hollywood and the murder of Burbank Park, we can see the influence of the movie" dark city ". The murderer is obviously imitating the behavior of the villain magician in the movie..."

The police's comments undoubtedly pushed "dark city" to the top of the storm. Some Catholic media began to discuss how to limit the violence in Hollywood movies and how to reduce the negative impact on the audience.

Maybe the Catholic side does see a good opportunity to increase its influence in Hollywood, especially in Southern California. Some pro Catholic newspapers even fire directly at Murphy and dark city.

"If you ask me why the criminals chose to shoot the audience in front of the movie theater showing" dark city ", I can only say that it has nothing to do with the film itself."

"This is the answer given by a Los Angeles County police officer when answering the reporter's question," do you think the shooting suspect was affected by the film? ". Similar questions have been asked by some reporters since Murphy Stanton's "city of darkness" was released. At that time, some people worried that the image of the magician in the film was too real for young people to imitate

"At that time, Murphy Stanton's answer was" young people have their own judgment. "This sentence became the core of some media's severe criticism of Murphy Stanton. The grand, huge and intensive propaganda campaign he and 20th Century Fox created for" dark city "was regarded by experts and police as indirectly inducing crime."

"The propaganda of dark city is totally brainwashing and viral. It constantly exaggerates the confidence, evil and darkness of the villains in Murphy Stanton's films. Even the hero, as the representative of justice, has changed from a hero to a "loyal and treacherous man struggling in the mire of crime in New York City" I believe most fans go to the cinema to see how the villains turn New York upside down. They expect a murderer who can kill the leading actor, because the films that Murphy Stanton has made for more than ten years have made them love neuroticism, revenge and anarchism. ""This also profoundly exposes a problem of Murphy Stanton. His films never pay attention to the bright side of human nature or society. Instead, they can only see the little dark side behind the light, and enlarge the dark side infinitely with the film, so that the fans will be instilled with values more inclined to villains. This is the most terrible part of Murphy Stanton's films. He has a direct influence and influence on us It distorts the value orientation of the audience. "

"In the promotion of" dark city ", the film side has made a lot of use of viral marketing, such as publishing the wanted notices of villains on the Internet, to increase the attention of the film. This, on the other hand, deepens the dividing line between the film and reality. As early as 1999, this kind of propaganda method caused panic among the movie fans of "the witch Blair". At that time, an American TV station made a survey, and 47% of the movie fans interviewed thought that the video of "the witch Blair" was real. "

"What's more terrible is that Murphy Stanton has never been responsible for this. Instead, he is complacent about the negative impact of his films."

"It's time for us to rethink. This kind of rethinking should start from self rejection of" dark city ", rejection of Murphy Stanton's films, rejection of extreme violence scenes in Hollywood films!"

Perhaps, as Murphy guessed, while the police tried every means to track down the criminals, the Archbishop of Central South Diocese of California, Marquez Costello, saw a chance to fight back, even a golden opportunity to restore Catholicism in Hollywood. He frequently launched public opinion attacks against Murphy's city of darkness, and gradually expanded the scope of attacks At the Hollywood level.

On the other hand, Murphy has had a good time in recent years. Many people and the media really don't like him. Now they stand up and step on his feet. Anyway, it doesn't cost much.

"In the past, in the hands of Murphy Stanton, the villains in Hollywood films turned into three-dimensional and complex terrorists like magicians. They believed in anarchism. Before they became thugs, they were the victims of cruel material society, but they took the opposite path."

"This road is more in line with the choice of normal people. It's easier to degenerate than to stick to justice. Take the shooting murderer's imitation of a magician as an example. He can kill people for the sake of some free speech on the Internet, even if he kills them by mistake. Maybe he doesn't need money and power, but he plays with everyone with these two things. Maybe he's not afraid of death, and he doesn't care I'm afraid of failure. I just want to destroy our world. "

"Such a person is the most terrible. He takes crime as his ideal! And Murphy Stanton and his black movies have played an enlightening role in it

Although many media blame Murphy and "dark city", some media's analysis is more objective.

"Since the first group of filmmakers discovered the commercial and entertainment attributes of film a hundred years ago, violence has been inextricably linked with film, and gradually evolved into a kind of blood boiling art under famous directors like Quentin Tarantino and Murphy Stanton."

"Throughout more than ten years of Murphy Stanton's directing career, we can see a very obvious rule: no violence, no movies. The violent elements in the film satisfy the restless hearts dissatisfied with the reality, and make the audience's dark complex and desire for destruction get temporary satisfaction in the virtual world of the film. "

"At the same time, Murphy Stanton's black films also make the audience familiar with crime, learn crime, and even fall in love with crime. What we should admit is that the film really bears the unshirkable responsibility in the increasingly rampant social violence activities. For those who have seen the city of darkness, who are not fascinated by the magician's extremely crazy and precise plan? Who dares to say that after watching it, there is no impulse to detonate a bomb somewhere, and then walk out like a magician? "

These criticisms and well intentioned public opinions, like an appointment, pop out one after another and appear in front of Murphy and the public. It's hard for people not to pay attention to them.

Based on the information from various channels, Murphy has confirmed that Archbishop Marcos Costello, who was accused by the Vatican last time, is ready to return to his lost face and reputation with a sharp counterattack.

Of course, Murphy won't wait to die. CAA and 20th Century Fox specially prepared a TV interview for him. Although it can't recover the negative impact of the shooting case, it can't let people completely throw the responsibility on him and "dark city".
