In downtown Los Angeles, a large number of media reporters gathered outside a church that looked very ordinary. They were isolated outside the iron gate. However, looking inside from the open church gate, you can see that there were many candles lit in the church. The candlelight swaying in the breeze. More than candles were large groups of believers in formal costumes. The believers filled the entire church and looked at the front piously.

Under the cross of the church, an old man in a pastor's costume seemed to be saying something, but unfortunately it was too far apart and the reporters couldn't hear it at all.

"Guess." A reporter wearing eyes asked the red-haired female reporter next to him, "What did the Archbishop Marquez Costello say?"

The red-haired female reporter shook her head, "I can't guess, I guess it's commemorating the dead Catholic believer."

"His archbishop of Central and Southern California, personally summoned a dispersal..." The middle-aged reporter diagonally opposite him had a particularly keen sense of smell, "The purpose should not be as simple as commemoration."

"Well, it makes sense!" The reporter wearing eyes nodded, "not only did he arrange a dispersion, but he also specifically disclosed the news to the media, which obviously had a purpose."

"Do you think it will be targeted at Murphy Stanton?" said the red-haired female reporter.

Others nodded, "It's possible."

The Diocese of Central and Southern California and even the Catholic Church, because the film "Diego Ross" is extremely dissatisfied with Murphy Stanton, it has long been no longer news.

"I have had several contacts with that Archbishop Marquez Costello."

A short reporter came over at this time and said, "He is a tough guy, and I believe he will not miss this opportunity."

The youngest middle-aged journalist nodded and echoed, "A Murphy Stanton fan, who imitated the magician in "Dark City", shot a Catholic believer in public. If I were in the position of the Archbishop, I would not miss this opportunity."

The red-haired female reporter raised her hand and looked at her watch, "The Mass is coming to an end. Let's see what the Archbishop said later."

After the mass in the church, Archbishop Marquez Costello, accompanied by two church pastors, slowly walked out of the church and came to the courtyard in the eyes of the believers.

"Let them come in." Archbishop Marquez Costello said to a pastor.

The pastor gestured to the door, and the staff guarding the door opened a small door on the iron door, allowing only one reporter to pass each time, and carefully checked the reporter's ID.

The shooting at the Hollywood Chinese Grand Theater has only not long been long, and many people suspect that the gunmen are targeting Catholics. Whether it is this dispersion or subsequent interviews, the safety level is quite high, and the police even set up special staff nearby.

Archbishop Marquez Costello turned to look at the other priest and asked in a low voice, "How is the contact?"

"It went smoothly." The priest was not loud. "The media was already criticizing the violence caused by "Dark City". Such incidents will definitely not be in the position of the murderer and Murphy Stanton."

Hearing this, Archbishop Marquez Costello nodded with satisfaction.

The pastor continued while the reporter had not come, "Don't look at the media singing praises to Murphy Stanton and "Dark City" before, they are the least determined people. If this happens, there are many people who are willing to see Murphy Stanton's unlucky."

Archbishop Marquez Costello saw a reporter coming over, but did not speak, but instead showed a kind smile.

With the support of church staff and the church here, the reporters have somewhat restrained their order, and the order of this temporary press conference is very good.

"His Excellency Archbishop."

I don’t know if there was any communication in advance, but the questions asked by several reporters at the beginning were very sympathetic to Archbishop Marquez Costello’s appetite. “What do you think of a devout believer being brutally killed in order to maintain the reputation of the church?”

"The Church strongly condemns this anti-human behavior." Archbishop Marquez-Costello said righteously, "So, we hold a mass here today to commemorate this parish."

Another reporter came forward and asked, "Do you think this matter is necessary to connect with Murphy Stanton's movie?"

Archbishop Marquez Costello still looked solemn, "The police have announced the preliminary investigation results, and it seems like this at present."

The previous questions seemed to be practiced in advance. With each question and answer, they not only highlighted the Catholicism, but also pointed the finger of the entire shooting at Murphy and his videos.

"Does it be time for us to play?"

The red female reporter whispered to the glasses and middle-aged reporter next to her, "The news conference should not last too long."

Several of them are from Fox's media, so they naturally have their own purposes here.

The middle-aged reporter seemed to be the leader, so he nodded slightly.

When asked the question later, the red-haired female reporter raised her hand. Since the questions were almost the same, the press officer clicked her and a staff member handed over the microphone.

"Dear Archbishop."

To give full play to the advantages of women, a charming smile appeared on the face of the red-haired reporter. "As we all know, the film directed by Murphy Stanton is famous for its darkness, depression and cruelty. "Dark City" almost brings these characteristics to the extreme. The murderer is obviously a fan of this film or Murphy Stanton. Do you think the murderer's actions are influenced by "Dark City"?"

Speaking of this, she added, "I don't know if you have watched "Dark City"?"

"I've seen it!" Archbishop Marquez Costello seemed very sad. "The movie should be a form of cultural entertainment that brings people positive, but for some people, it has become so cruel and cold in the hands of some people. Some directors only see the dark side of people and society, but never pay attention to the shining side. As public figures, especially those with a large number of supporters, such behavior undoubtedly sends out a very bad signal."

The red-haired female reporter was still watching Archbishop Marquez Costello.

"The murderer was clamoring for him to be the agent of chaos," Archbishop Marquez Costello said seriously. "I think Murphy Stanton and his films should be responsible for it."

"Thank you." The red-haired female reporter said with a smile.

The next round of questions began soon, and the reporter wearing glasses took the microphone, "His Excellency Archbishop, I don't know if you have noticed it. The violent scenes in Hollywood movies in the past have led to many unexpected tragedies."

Archbishop Marquez Costello seemed very knowledgeable, "I've heard of it."

The reporter held his glasses and asked, "Just like the shooting at the Hollywood Grand Theater, the parties involved in those cases have also been influenced by Hollywood movies. Now there are more and more violent factors in Hollywood movies. Do you think this is a good thing?"

"No!" Archbishop Marquez Costello was angry when he mentioned Hollywood movies. "Hollywood must limit violence and other transitional content in the movies!"

Seeing the opportunity was good, the reporter wearing glasses asked again, "Should Hollywood movies be responsible for this?"

Archbishop Marquez Costello nodded slowly, "Just like the case that happened in front of the theater this time, Hollywood movies should be mainly responsible!"

Then, the middle-aged reporter got the microphone and asked, "Now the scale of Hollywood movies is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more violent and pornographic content. Do you think there is something wrong with Hollywood's self-censorship?"

“Hollywood self-censorship is more like a show for people.”

Archbishop Marquez Costello accused without hesitation, "Why is Murphy Stanton's "Dark City" PG-13, not R-level? I think it is not enough to rely solely on Hollywood self-censorship to eliminate the disadvantages in the movie and let more healthy movies appear in front of the audience."

These reporters had known about the Archbishop before coming. Archbishop Marquez Costello was tough and since he seized the opportunity, he would definitely not let it go easily.

The middle-aged reporter then asked, "In the last century, the church had formulated the ethical standards of Hollywood movies. In Hollywood movies of that period, there were not as many violent shots as they are now. If possible, do you think this is an effective measure?"

If Hollywood movies can be classified into the influence of the church as in the last century, his promotion to Cardinal Cardinal Archbishop will definitely not be a problem. The thought in the mind of the Archbishop Marquez Costello flashed, saying, "I think this is a very effective measure! If Hollywood itself cannot regulate the production of movies, then the government and the church can assist! Movies, as a widely spread cultural entertainment, must be regulated and restricted!"

It seemed that Archbishop Marquez Costello was a little excited and said, "Only in this way can the tragedy caused by the negative impact of Hollywood movies be reduced and eliminated!"

Several senior journalists got the desired results and stopped asking questions, and the news would end soon.

"Has it been recorded?"

Leaving the church compound and coming to the car on the side of the road, the middle-aged reporter asked a reporter carrying a camera, "Didn't you miss something?"

The cameraman put away the camera and gestured a "ok" gesture, "Don't worry if I do things!"

The red-haired female reporter and the reporter wearing eyes also came over one after another.

The former pointed to his watch, "Go back quickly, I want to get the manuscript!"
