Hollywood Road

Since the Middle Ages, there have been too many scandals within the Catholic Church. With the entry into a civilized society, these scandals seem to have decreased a lot, but there are still many dirty things hidden under the huge power of the church. As the media will The cloak covered above was lifted, and in the land of liberalism in the United States, a wave of public opinion critical of the Catholic Church was set off.

This wave seems to have come suddenly, but the behind-the-scenes promoters are well-prepared and powerful. They can directly intervene in many media, and their right to speak in the media is by no means comparable to that of the Catholic forces in the United States.

Any topic always has a certain timeliness. For a country like the United States, there are quite a few people who never go to the theater to watch movies, but very few people claim to have no religious beliefs.

Religion is far more topical than movies.

Naturally, discussions about whether Hollywood movies were too violent and whether Murphy's movies were responsible for the shooting incident were much quieter. From the media, the public, and even the Washington authorities, all attention was turned to a series of scandals that broke out in Catholicism.

It would be fine if these scandals happened in Europe, and the self-centered world view of Americans would not care much, but these incidents all happened in the United States, and they happened to children who are the most intolerable by the government and society. It's hard not to be attractive.

Children are the future of a country and society, not just talking about it.

At a time when the media and the public in the United States were frantically discussing the Catholic scandal, Murphy called a press conference.

The press conference was held in the lobby of the Death Star Building in Century City, and it was very brief.

At the beginning of the press conference, Kara Firth announced on behalf of Twentieth Century Fox, Fox will continue to cooperate with Stanton Studios to create a new film directed by Murphy Stanton. The new film directed by Stanton will focus on the current Social hotspot event!

After speaking, she made a gesture to the back, and the white screen behind her instantly lit up, and a few lines of large characters were unusually eye-catching.

A group of poor reporters who want to declare war on the church power, adapted from real people and real events, the real history behind Focus!

Seeing the words on the screen, many reporters felt a little dazed when they pressed the shutter of their cameras, not knowing what it meant.

Declaration of war on church power? A bunch of poor journalists?

Some older reporters gradually thought of something based on these, The current social hot issue? Focus?

He immediately recalled,

He whispered, Isn't it the news event that the Boston Globe won the Pulitzer Prize?

A young reporter next to him asked puzzledly, Mr. Bjorkman, what are you talking about?

Look at the screen. The older reporter pointed to the screen.

The young reporter looked up, only to see that the title above had disappeared, and a general description gradually appeared.

The film is based on real people and real events, and it comes from an in-depth investigative reporting experience of The Boston Globe.

A reporter named Bjorkman saw this and said, It really is like this!

In 2001, the editor-in-chief from the Miami Herald parachuted into the Boston Globe, and he was about to make a big story. He pointed out a topic for the newspaper's in-depth reporting group Focus: the local Catholic John- Father Georgen was accused of child molestation. Cardinal Bernard Law, who is in charge of the Boston Archdiocese, was revealed to have known about it for a long time, but he shelved the cover-up, which was serious dereliction of duty. With the deepening of the investigation, they were horrified to find that the alleged sexual assault priest started from 1 The number of people increased to 13, and then to an astonishing 70. This is no longer a matter of one person, but the corruption of the church system. Their investigation found that the parents were either powerless to resist, or were prevaricated by the church with extremely low hush money However, the priest involved in the case was not expelled, and the diocese was redistributed in time for reasons such as 'taking sick leave', and then new crimes were brewing, and so on...

The background information of this new film was briefly explained on the big screen.

Seeing this, Björkman felt a sense of absurdity, Did Murphy Stanton and 20th Century Fox do it on purpose?

It must have been intentional! The young reporter next to him looked at Murphy who was sitting in front of the big screen, and said, At this moment, choose this kind of subject and say that he didn't do it on purpose, do you believe it?

Bjorkman shook his head without hesitation.

Perhaps the public is not clear about it, but they, practitioners in the media industry, do not know that the criticism and pressure that Murphy-Stanton suffered before was fundamentally driven by Catholicism. Now that a large number of Catholic scandals in the United States have been exposed, Murphy - Stanton chose this time to announce that the theme of his new film is based on the news events of the Pulitzer Prize winners who exposed the Catholic corruption scandal. It is not against Catholicism, but what else can it be?

It is estimated that the Catholics instigated the attack on Murphy Stanton, the young reporter said again, Will you vomit blood when you see his new film?

Bjorkman laughed, Murphy Stanton has never been the kind of person who likes to be beaten. Since the Catholic Church has provoked him, he will definitely be slapped back by him! Maybe the Catholic scandal exposed in the media, Also related to Murphy Stanton.

Catholics may be a bit exaggerated to say that he vomited blood after reading today's press conference, but they are definitely going crazy.

Now it's time for questions. Kara Firth's voice sounded, If you have any questions, you can ask Director Stanton. You only have five minutes!

As soon as these words came out, the reporters scrambled to be the first to raise their hands high.

Today's press conference is too newsy under the current public opinion situation, and the effect of spreading it is absolutely explosive.

At the same time, in the office building in the Santa Monica Beach area, Archbishop Marquez Costello was reminded by his assistant that he had just turned on the Fox News station and saw Kara Firth announcing the start of the free questioning session.

Although he didn't watch the previous press conference, he could see the handwriting on the big screen behind Murphy Stanton through the live broadcast.

What is Murphy Stanton doing?

Of course, Archbishop Marquez Costello knew about the events in Boston that year, and this news event won the highest Pulitzer Prize in American journalism, but the influence of regional newspapers is limited after all, especially after the church. Work hard, those things are almost forgotten...

Now, Murphy Stanton is going to make it into a movie! What else could he be targeting the Catholic Church?

Archbishop Marquez Costello had a bad feeling in his heart. Although he didn't like Murphy Stanton, he couldn't deny that Murphy Stanton was already one of the most influential directors in Hollywood and even in the world. One, even a director as influential as him won't get more than one slap in the world.

How wide will the film of such a director be spread? How bad will it be to the Catholic Church? What will be the reaction from the Vatican?

As if he couldn't sit still anymore, Archbishop Marquez Costello stood up from his office chair, his eyes fixed on the TV screen, his old face was tense like a stretched rubber band, and his face was slightly raised. White.

If...if...Murphy Stanton's new film really spreads widely, it will definitely affect him!

Although the previous actions against Murphy Stanton and Hollywood were approved by the Holy See of the Vatican, they were still proposed and instigated by him after all. If the plan is successful, it will benefit him and the Holy See. If there is a negative impact, the blame must be He is the instigator.

Archbishop Márquez Costello knew very well that the Holy See would definitely use him as a scapegoat if necessary.

On the TV screen, a female reporter from The Hollywood Reporter was the first to be named by Kara Firth. She stood up and asked directly, Murphy, why did you choose such a subject?

Hearing the voice of the question, Archbishop Marquez Costello put aside all his worries for the time being, and was ready to see how Murphy Stanton would answer.

In the living room of the Death Star Building, Murphy sat calmly opposite many reporters, no different from any press conference he had attended in the past.

Some time ago, many media criticized Hollywood movies, especially my work lacking a sense of social responsibility. Murphy said solemnly, This is really worth reflecting on. As a director, you really can't forget the sense of social responsibility, so since then, I have been It was decided that the subject matter of the new film should be able to reflect social issues...

In the office building in Santa Monica, Archbishop Marquez Costello felt inexplicably ridiculed when he heard the word social responsibility. The reason he used to attack Murphy Stanton was returned by him through the media. return.

Murphy Stanton's voice still kept reaching his ears, When filming Diego Rose, I thought that ** was just a case within the Catholic Church, but after reading many reports in the media recently, I Only then did I realize that this may be a common phenomenon within the Catholic Church. Children are the objects we have been committed to protecting and our hope for the future. I am engaged and may have my own children in the near future. Who would want their own children? The child is in such a horrible environment?

Terror? Archbishop Marquez Costello wanted to fly over and sealed Murphy Stanton's mouth. When did Catholicism become scary?

I think I can do something, remind our society, remind our parents...

On the TV, the person he hated was still talking, Remind them to stay away from some crimes hidden behind Guanghua!

asshole!

Archbishop Márquez Costello slammed the table down with a loud bang, and then frowned in pain.

But the press conference was still going on, and Mo answered all kinds of questions from the reporters with ease, cleverly pushing Catholicism into the swamp.
