Chapter eight hundred and seventieth film bears the main responsibility

"May God be with you.¥f,"

Duke and Scarlett Johnson, who walked into the University of California Medical School, shook hands or greeted each injured person with a serious face, and did not refuse the request for taking photos of some people. Some young movie fans seemed to be not concerned about the injuries they suffered. Not only did they come to take photos with Duke, they also posted them on the Internet through instant sharing or Twitter as soon as possible.

Nearly half a morning later, Duke and Scarlett Johnson walked out of the University of California Medical School and were surrounded by countless reporters at the door.

"Duke, what do you think about this?"

"The murderer is said to be imitating the clown, is that right?"

"Don't you think the video you're shooting has to take some responsibility?"

"Did you show up here because you feel guilty?"

Some journalists and paparazzi have also been quite rude, "You are here this time, are you PR for Warner Bros."

"I represent myself, not any company, and I hope no one will maliciously speculate that this is a PR event in the video."

Of course Duke would deny it, and then said sadly, "The language can no longer express the shock I feel. I think we may not be able to truly understand the pain of the victims and their families, but my heart will accompany them."

The Christian Bell couple who came out then attracted a large number of reporters. Duke, under the protection of his bodyguard, took a car to leave the University of California Medical School.

He wouldn't say anything casually until the official police report was released, and the previous words were carefully drafted by Pani Kellis.

The shooting had a huge impact, and even the Washington authorities and the White House expressed concern, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department held a formal press conference at noon.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Pace released a formal investigation report at this media briefing, saying that in the past 60 days, James Holmes purchased two "Glock" brand 40-caliber pistols, a 12-caliber shotgun and an A-15 semi-automatic rifle from a local gun store.

During the same period, James Holmes purchased more than 3,000 rifle bullets, 3,000 pistol bullets and 300 shotgun bullets through the Internet.

“Similarly through the internet, he bought multiple automatic rifle magazines, including a 100-round magazine we found at the crime scene,” Li Pace said in the face of the media footage. “Experts told me that with this magazine, James Holmes could shoot 50 to 60 rounds in a minute. As far as I know, in that kind of theater, it was very fast firepower.”

However, Li Pace also confirmed that all James Holmes' weapons, magazines and bullets were legally purchased.

Next, Los Angeles police released the latest statistics, and the number of deaths has been confirmed to be 12. The number of injuries has been reduced from 59 previously reported to 58.

Most of the dead and injured were shot, and only a few were injured in other circumstances.

Not only that, Li Peisi also talked about the latest progress in the case. After James Holmes was arrested, he admitted to installing explosive devices in his residence and setting up a "department" to trigger, which forced the police to urgently evacuate the personnel in five buildings in the community where James Holmes is located.

In the early morning, the police joined forces with the Bureau of Wine, Tobacco and Firearms and FBI agents to block the scene. They used a vehicle lifting platform to approach a third-floor apartment in a red brick building, and used an axe to break the window. They reached into a 20-foot pole and used a camera on the pole to visit the situation inside the house.

He described the apartment being covered with wires and cans on the floor, which were connected to "chemicals and combustion devices".

"What we saw was an extremely complicated situation," the police chief's eyes were red. He obviously didn't sleep well last night. "It could take hours, or days to crack it, and we didn't know what to do...I've never seen such a scene."

Los Angeles police have temporarily abandoned their efforts to dismantle explosive devices and waited for federal government experts to arrive at the scene.

The police did not determine James Holmes' motive for the crime, nor did they find any signs of the incident being associated with terrorism.

However, the media has long exposed the media for saying that James Holmes claims to be a "clown".

As soon as the press conference ended, some experts couldn't wait to jump out for an interview with the media, saying that this was a typical imitation crime and that imitation movies should bear the main responsibility.

At the same time, Duke and Warner Bros. also issued public statements respectively.

Warner Bros. issued a statement saying, "After learning about this shocking tragic event, Warner Bros. Films are deeply saddened. We extend our most sincere condolences to the victims and families of the victims in the tragedy."

Warner also announced that it would cancel the red carpet premiere originally scheduled for Paris, France, Mexico, Tokyo and other places, and will not publicly announce the first weekend box office of "The Dark Knight Rises", and will delete the footage and remarks involving guns, explosions in the preview trailer of "The Dark Knight Rises".

"The shooting was a disaster and I express my deep condolences to the innocent audiences who were victimized in the incident."

Duke made a statement on behalf of the crew of the Dark Knight Rises, "I believe that movies are a great art form in the United States. Watching stories in front of the big screen and sharing movie experiences with everyone is a very important and pleasant way of entertainment. The cinema is my home, and seeing someone commits violent destruction in the cinema in such a barbaric way is a disaster for me. For the innocent victims in this shooting, no matter how many words can express our grief, I just want to say that our hearts are with them and their families."

The incident caused a huge response at the social level, especially O'Hei Tan, who has always advocated banning guns, almost immediately stood up.

After learning about the latest progress of the shooting, O'Hei Tan expressed "shock and sadness" and expressed condolences to the victims in the shooting. He also ordered the national flag to be lowered for 6 days to mourn the victims. Including the White House, embassies, consulates, all public agencies, military posts, naval base commands, naval ships and other places, the flag was lowered for 6 days to mourn the serious accident of death and injury.

“Michelle and I are very shocked and saddened by this horrific shooting. My administration will do our best to support families injured by the shooting and face this extremely difficult time with them. We are in a time of darkness and challenges, and we must unite and become an American family.”

In this public statement, O'Heicang said, "The federal government will put suspects under fair sanctions and try its best to protect the safety of the American people. The actions of the gunman are evil and meaningless. We will never understand what causes the gunman to take other people's lives. This makes us feel that life is fragile and time is precious."

The New York City Government and the Los Angeles City Government have also issued public statements, especially in response to the safety of theaters. "The police force will be added to major theaters in the city to strictly investigate the audience to prevent any shootings imitating the Santa Monica Commercial Plaza Cinema."

Two of North America's largest theater companies, Emperor Entertainment and Am, issued a statement saying that it will prohibit movie fans from wearing "costumes" or wearing masks that will make other viewers feel uncomfortable, and bring fake weapons to the theater.

The incident is fermenting rapidly. Whether subjective or considerable, "The Rise of the Dark Knight" cannot escape this incident.

Generally speaking, Hollywood producers publish box office revenues as soon as the weekend passes. However, this convention will be broken by a shooting tragedy.

Major Hollywood producers, including Warner Bros., Sony Columbia, Twentieth Century Fox, Walt Disney, Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures, announced on the same day that they did not intend to release weekend box office revenue on Monday, and Rentak, an agency dedicated to tracking box office, also did not intend to disclose weekend box office.

Affected by the shooting, Warner Bros. canceled the French premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises" originally scheduled to be held in Paris, and decided to cancel the publicity activities originally scheduled to be held in Mexico City, Mexico and Tokyo, the capital of Japan.

Not only these, the incident also affected the stock market. Affected by the shootings, stocks in the American screening industry fell to varying degrees that day. Ima's stock price fell by nearly 6%, and Amg and Emperor Entertainment's stock prices fell by more than 9%.

Many countries have improved security measures for cinemas. In the UK and Germany, many cinemas prohibit viewers from entering the venue wearing costumes of characters in osplay films, and additional security personnel are sent to the theater lobby to monitor all movements in the lobby without blind spots to ensure the personal safety of the audience.

It will take a certain amount of time for any incident to ferment. On Friday, the impact of the shooting was still expanding. "The Rise of the Dark Knight" was affected to a certain extent, but the impact was not particularly large. Although the box office in North America on the first day of its release did not meet the 100 million US dollars expected by Warner Bros., it also received as much as $91.48 million!

Moreover, there have been many unfavorable remarks on the Internet and media, and there are also rumors that Warner Bros. will delete shots and remarks involving guns in "The Dark Knight Rises".

"Actually, I'm talking about another movie from Warner, a gangster film from the 1930s and 1940s. It's completely different from "The Dark Knight Rises" and has nothing to do with it."

Warner Bros. Jamie Johnson also stood up in time to refute the rumors, "The Dark Knight Rises has another movie trailer before the screening. It is actually a trailer about a movie about a gangster-themed American movie was deleted in the United States. Besides, "The Dark Knight Rises" has been released in the United States, so how to delete it? Superhero films and police and gangster films both have shots. In fact, "The Dark Knight Rises" has nothing to do with violence."

Although Warner Bros. is trying hard to refute the rumors, they and Duke are very clear that many people in Hollywood are taking action. Starting Saturday, there will inevitably be a big battle in the media. (To be continued.)
