Hollywood Road

"Daisy, it's me, Justin."

In the living room of an independent apartment, Daisy held her mobile phone to her ear, and a familiar voice came from the receiver, "There is an interview with Murphy tonight, do you see it?"

"I know." Daisy said with a smile, "I have turned on the TV now, waiting for the interview to begin."

After chatting with Justin for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Daisy hung up, made herself a cup of coffee, then sat on the sofa in front of the TV, switched to Fox News, and waited for the start of the TV interview.

As the leader of the IMDB discussion group, Daisy had the exact news before. Murphy will specifically respond to the shooting in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood and the series of controversies afterwards in an exclusive interview tonight. It was also the main reason that attracted her to sit here and watch.

Although she is now a believer in magicians, as a fan of the once crazy Murphy Stanton, she still wants to know what her former idol thinks of this series of events.

Daisy watched the TV. The show hadn't started yet, she picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

"Murphy has always been that perverted, dark and crazy director, and these are directly reflected in his movies." Daisy is full of some thoughts about Murphy, "From the very beginning "Fruit Hard Candy" And "Saw Fright", to the final "Dark City" which reached the top, all proved these!"

I believe he will understand what he is doing. Daisy feels that this is a TV interview. Murphy shouldn’t say anything to support him. He is a smart director, but they are the same kind of people, and Murphy would not. Like the stupid media, say something against her.

Daisy is very confident of this, because she always believes that she and Murphy Stanton are exactly the same kind of person, the only difference is that Murphy Stanton created those theories and put them in the film, and she Is responsible for turning these theories into reality!

"It's a pity..." Daisy sighed, "If I could join Murphy, Los Angeles must be in panic now."

She feels quite regretful. After all, after doing so much, Los Angeles is still in order and will inevitably be disappointed.

As soon as the time came, the Fox News TV interview began immediately. Murphy and the host appeared in a well-decorated small hall and began to express some of his opinions.

At the beginning, Daisy didn't feel much about it, but as the interview progressed, her brows became tighter. What Murphy said and her position seemed to be different from what she thought.

"Mr. Michael Werner, a criminal psychology expert from the FBI, once wrote in the media."

Watching Murphy at the TV Festival at ease, Daisy listened to what he said without missing a word, "Throughout a series of major shootings in the United States before, the murderer can basically be identified as one type of person, that is, hate society, Suffer from high-level delusions."

Who is he talking about? Daisy frowned with a pimple, who hates society? Who suffers from high delusions? Is it me? I just want to make society look like ideals!

Her eager gaze gradually faded, and she continued to watch Murphy in the TV show eloquently, "These people all hope to make an impact by killing. The assailant in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood is a typical example. There is not much to do with any film."

Daisy's eyes widened. How could he be so irresponsible? How can you say that? How can one deny the great idea of ​​creation? Isn't the magician born in your script and lens?

How could Murphy say that, do this?

Also, the assailant? Murphy called himself the perpetrator? Why does he say that? I just put his ideas and ideas into practice!

This is completely different from what Daisy thought before. Murphy didn't admit that this matter had anything to do with him, and pushed it all down.

In Daisy's eyes, the words Murphy said on the TV were shirking responsibility.

"Jeffrey Swanson, a professor at Brown University who studies violence and mental illness, thinks..." He seems to have found many experts as proof. Men, who tend to be autistic, often imitate certain movies, but the problem is that there are tens of thousands of people who meet this standard, but they have never done anything like this."

Daisy's eyes turned cold when she watched the TV, and her hot heart towards Murphy was also getting cold bit by bit.

But on the TV, her idol and most admired person has never stopped. "The American Threat Assessment Professional Association expert Steve Albrecht also recently expressed his views on these incidents, thinking that the murderer may be a series of The loser of the incident tried to solve the problem with the help of killings. He speculated that the police's efforts to find the motive of the murderer might be useless. It is better to focus more on preventing such criminal cases in advance."

What is a loser? What is an attempt to solve the problem with the help of killing? Daisy's heart became colder and colder, and she muttered to herself, "Am I a loser? Am I trying to solve the problem with the help of killing?"

On the TV, although Murphy did not directly say that her behavior has nothing to do with the movie "Dark City", those remarks undoubtedly put the blame on her, as if these theories were not created by him.

Regarding the involvement and relationship between film and violence, I said that it was not clear in the last year. Whether it is CAA or 20th Century Fox, the strategies developed by the professional public relations teams of the two parties are surprisingly consistent, and Murphy firmly denies that it is. His films directly led to these cases.

Murphy is not stupid. Of course he will not admit the media hype, nor will he agree with the view that the so-called murderer was born out of movies. This is the United States. He is a Hollywood director. Movies are only one of all commodities. Just like the knives and guns sold in shopping malls, they can kill people, but you can't attribute the responsibility to the legal manufacturers and sellers, right?

Only fools will admit that their films lead to violent crimes.

During the show, Murphy continued according to a pre-determined strategy, “North America is a very mature film market. Hollywood has a complete self-censorship. There are very limited violent scenes of films that can be released in North America. "City" is a PG-13-level movie. In essence, it is still a family movie, and there are many children to watch it."

He naturally said, "If you say that movies are related to violence, and literature also has violence, you can't make any confusion. In fact, the core issue of this incident is the issue of gun control in the United States."

This kind of thing not only shirks the responsibility, but also finds a more suitable person to blame, in a country like the United States, who else can find a more suitable culprit than the federal government and the US system?

At the same time as the show, Murphy’s black fan organization and some **** fan organizations also posted posts and created topics on the Internet, especially on social platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, which have a huge number of users. They are particularly active. .

"Just ask the audience friends who have watched "Dark City", any of you have not been fascinated by the magician's extremely crazy and sophisticated plan? Who dares to say that after watching it, there is nothing that you want to detonate somewhere. A bomb, and then the urge to walk out like a magician? But did you do that?"

"No! Because you are sensible, you can distinguish between fantasy and reality."

"But for some people, they have been living in fantasy or forced to live in fantasy all the time. Perhaps the murderer, like the magician, has a shocking psychological scar. Criminal psychology also believes that The occurrence of criminal behavior is inseparable from the experience of childhood. The real world’s influence on a person’s psychology is the root of criminal behavior!"

To say that movies can't affect the real world at all, Murphy himself doesn't believe it, but this kind of thing is just a matter of thinking, and it is definitely not suitable to say.

Sitting in front of the TV, Daisy was motionless, her eyes calm as water, and her heart cold as ice.

"Why? Why is this?" She wanted to shout loudly, but couldn't say a word, "Why did he say that? Why on earth?"

TV shows are always on, and Murphy’s voice is heard again, "In fact, there is a saying that is very good-people actually know the truth. The world is very simple and cruel. There is no miracle and no magic. , But some people just can't accept these..."

"Director Stanton, one last question." On the TV, the host asked questions. "The murderer may be your fan. If he is sitting in front of the TV, what do you want to say to him?"

Daisy concentrated instantly, staring at the TV, her ears were pricked up, she wanted to see what Murphy had to say!

"I hope he can surrender to the police soon..."

Hearing the first words Murphy uttered on TV, Daisy stood up quickly, her eyes sharpened like swords.

"I don’t know if you can watch this show, but what I want to say is, please think about it anyway. It’s completely wrong to do so. There are still many beautiful things to pursue in this world. Don’t continue. Go down the wrong path..."

"Damn it!" Daisy picked up the remote control and turned off the TV directly, "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it..."

She said it several times in a row, and the voice was louder than again. Finally, she lifted her foot and kicked it fiercely on the sofa, which made her depressed heart feel better.

After a long time, Daisy gradually calmed down, but her eyes were cold and scary.

"Traitor!" She looked grim, and slowly squeezed a word from her mouth, "Murphy Stanton, you are a traitor!"
