Chapter 726

"Archbishop, can you tell us whether the scandal of Catholicism reported in the newspaper recently is true?"

"What do you think of the investigation report released by the United Nations Committee on the rights of the child?"

"Sir, have you ever sheltered a Catholic priest who abused children?"

As soon as the sun climbed into the sky in the early morning, countless reporters blocked Archbishop Marcus Costello's car in front of the office building and asked the Archbishop crazy questions.

Several young priests and church staff closely surrounded Archbishop Marcos Costello in the middle, isolating all the reporters from the outside, but this could not stop the reporters from asking questions, let alone the sharp voice of asking questions.

"Your Highness, you have always kept your mouth shut, have you acquiesced?"

Journalists don't care about the status of Archbishop Marcos Costello. What they want is news. They want to make news without news!

"Are you guilty of what you did?"

These words reached the Archbishop of Marquez Costello, who was extremely harsh, and his face was even more livid.

"Your eminence!"

Stan Murphy has been criticizing his most basic sense of social responsibility before the movie, "do you have a more piercing voice?"

Hearing these words, Archbishop Marcos Costello unconsciously stopped his slow pace, forbeared his anger and took a look there.

It was a blonde journalist who didn't seem to be afraid of his eyes and asked, "is that what you call a moral code to treat yourself and others with double standards?"

Archbishop Marcos Costello stopped completely and looked around. Perhaps it was the pressure of the Archbishop's identity, and the messy reporters around him unconsciously calmed down.

When the office building was completely quiet, Archbishop Marcos Costello said slowly, "the newspaper reports about Catholicism are untrue, absurd and lack of evidence."

"What about the investigation of the United Nations Committee on the rights of the child?" A male reporter asked aloud.

"They may have been hoodwinked, and I regret the UN report." Archbishop Marcos Costello gradually controlled his emotions. "The United Nations is suspected of interfering in the internal affairs of the church without authorization. The Catholic Church and the Vatican have been committed to protecting the rights and interests of children."

With these words, Archbishop Marcos Costello, escorted by people around him, entered the office building.

Then, like every day before, he would first read the newspaper to pay attention to the latest changes in current events.

Archbishop Marcos Costello opened the newspaper and saw almost all the news related to the Catholic scandal.

"Uncover why Catholicism has repeatedly exploded scandal!"

"The Vatican can no longer evade the scandal of Catholicism!"

"The Catholic Church in the United States has recognized that there are more than 5000 clergy in the United States. Similar news shows that Archbishop Marcos Costello's head has become two big heads. Three days ago, the media were still heaping accusations against Murphy Stanton and Hollywood movies, but now they have joined the ranks of exposing Catholic scandals.

These motherfuckers! He swore in his heart.

Archbishop Marcos Costello sat in his chair with a sad look on his face. Although he strongly denied it before, he knew that the media reports might be exaggerated, but they were basically true.

Why did it burst out all of a sudden? The Archbishop of Marquez Costello didn't understand. Originally, there were some scattered news like this, such as when "Diego rose" was released. However, with the film winning the best film Oscar, the relevant news quickly subsided. In the past two years, no similar news has been widely reported.

This time, there is no sign of a large-scale outbreak

Archbishop Marcos Costello thought for a few minutes, and then came to think of a man - Murphy Stanton!

He couldn't think of anyone who would do it except Murphy Stanton. After all, it was a conflict with the Catholic Church!

Thinking of this, Archbishop Marquez Costello suddenly understood that in the face of the strong pressure from his own side, Murphy Stanton did not give too many responses in the film, but chose to attack the weakest part of Catholicism

This was completely unexpected and caught the whole parish of Central South California off guard.

In the next few days, all kinds of news against Catholicism, especially the Archbishop of Marquez Costello himself, were constantly exposed by the media. The Diocese of central and Southern California was very busy fighting fires and dealing with the media everywhere. It completely reversed the situation of Murphy and had no energy to plan for Murphy and Hollywood movies.

Even the Vatican is paying close attention. Benedict XVI personally called the Archbishop of Marcos Costello, and no longer heard the laughter and cheers when he was pressing for Hollywood movies. The cold rebuke made the Archbishop of Marcos Costello sweat.To be exact, the Vatican is very annoyed by the large-scale concentrated coverage of Catholic scandals in the US media.

On the one hand, the media reports did not simply expose and criticize the Catholic clergy's sexual assault on children, but pointed to the Vatican's handling of these scandals, accusing the Vatican of shielding the clergy; on the other hand, all kinds of adverse news further targeted the Catholic position on sexual orientation, reproductive health and gender equality, and criticized them The Catholic Church criticized the specific policies on homosexuality, contraception and abortion, such as the existence of gender related stereotypes in the textbooks of Catholic schools, and put pressure on the Vatican!

In the past, there were fragmentary reports of this kind all over the United States, but this time Hollywood's joint action has connected these fragmentary reports, like blowing up the roof of Catholicism.

Without the power of Catholicism behind it, the North American entertainment film market, which has been storming since the end of June, has gradually returned to quiet. In particular, the focus of the entertainment media is more and more on the star gossip and its works.

In particular, Murphy's fans, no matter what kind of social responsibility attacks and reports, always support their favorite directors.

On the Internet, they support Murphy in various ways. A fan organization in Los Angeles spontaneously launched an activity through the social platform - Murphy Stanton's 12 years in the film industry, to express our film time together.

This activity has aroused strong repercussions from Murphy's supporters, and countless fans have left messages on this activity through social platforms.

"What does Murphy's movie mean to your life? If someone asks me this question, my answer is that I don't know why I love Murphy's movies, but I just like them! "

This is an ordinary fan from Texas. He is a typical fan that I can't say what's good, but I like.

There are also fans in Los Angeles who wrote, "Murphy's movies are my life partner. They remember the past life and show the future time. I live with them in the present. I love Murphy Stanton! I love his black movies! I love the movie

There are also crazy fans of Murphy on the east coast of the United States. A fan in New York left a message: "every time Murphy's movie is shown in the cinema, when I walk into the cinema and sit in my seat, I can feel that I have entered a new world; when the lights on the screen are on, I know that it's a journey for me and Murphy Stanton. There, I can forget the depression and trouble in reality, explore freely, laugh heartlessly, and feel only excitement and happiness

Murphy's fans live in this world in various forms, and only when they meet Murphy's movies can they show their true bodies. "I remember history, faith, attitude, desire and dream in one thing, that is Murphy Stanton's black movies. I thank his movies for appearing in my life and bringing more value to my shallow life."

"A person's life is short, so there are many regrets. The charm of Murphy's movies is to let you experience a different life in this short time and make up for the beauty lost in your heart."

With the efforts of these fans, "city of darkness" continues to be shown in cinemas in North America. Even though it has dropped to less than 1000 cinemas, it still stubbornly appears all over the United States.

For Murphy, a popular director, the support of fans is the greatest comfort.

By the middle of August, the film had been shown in North American Theaters for nearly four months, and the North American box office was still rising slowly with the support of fans, reaching a total of $728.51 million, continuing to advance towards the North American box office record of "Avatar"!

Overseas, more than 140 countries and regions have shown "city of darkness" in cinemas, and the overseas box office is more than twice that of North America.

The global box office of "city of darkness" reached $231687 million!

"There won't be much change in the box office."

In the office of the Death Star building, Murphy bil rosis said, "our focus can be shifted."

When the film is shown, the number of tickets in North America will increase by another $10 million to $20 million, and the overseas box office will increase by another $120 million to $150 million.

Bill rossis understood what Murphy meant, "is it the awards season?"

"Well." Murphy nodded. "This awards season is very competitive, and the situation is not good for us."

"These disadvantages are also favorable conditions in some ways."

Bill rosis and Murphy smile tacitly and ask, "which awards are you going to apply for?"
