The interview program of Fox TV has ended long ago and the TV has been turned off. There is no sound in the living room quietly. Daisy stood there motionlessly, her white face under her short golden hair, as cold as the ice and snow that has not melted for thousands of years in Antarctica, could freeze the entire house at any time.

"Traitor!" Daisy had only this thought in her mind, "Murphy Stanton is a traitor!"

More than ten years ago, she was a girl who was just sixteen years old, and she was crazy about his movies, and then she was crazy about his dark and evil thoughts. He spent ten years with her, and she also accompanied him for ten years. She admired him so much, thinking that he was his own belief...

It was not until this moment that Daisy realized that she was wrong.

Her original intention has remained unchanged for ten years, but Murphy, who has gone from an unknown newcomer to a super director, has changed.

He is no longer crazy, no longer dark, no longer evil, no longer maverick, he becomes like other people in Hollywood, without thoughts and souls...

If that's all, then that's fine. Anyway, now she has a new belief, and at worst she can be a passerby in the future, but he actually blatantly accused her on a TV show. Isn't this a traitor, what's that?

He betrayed his original ideas, his dark thoughts, his evil nature, and more importantly, he betrayed...she!

Thinking of this, Daisy's heart thrust. That kind of spiritual pain, the loss of being abandoned by her own beliefs, was even more painful and uncomfortable than cutting her bones and flesh, and even more crazy!

Daisy felt her body tremble inexplicably and could no longer stand. She squatted on the ground, supported the floor with both hands, opened her mouth and made a dry retching sound. Two lines of tears slowly flowed down her white cheeks.

She squatted here, tears fell, the pain in her heart flowed out with the tears, and the past worship of Murphy also scattered.

I don't know how long it took, but Daisy's tears almost dried up. She finally felt much better. Her hands, who were standing on the floor, slowly stood up, then raised her hand to wipe off the last tears at the corner of her eyes, and the expression on her face became harder, as if she had completely turned into a cold stone.

"I've been betrayed!" she murmured to herself, "I've been betrayed..."

After muttering for a few words, Daisy turned around and walked towards the basement, while walking, talking to herself, "The traitor must pay the price! The price of life!"

She walked through the corridor and came to the entrance of the basement, opened the mechanical lock on the door, and walked down the stairs step by step. Each step was extremely slow and extremely heavy.

Entering the basement, Daisy looked up at the huge magician photo frame on the wall, "Only you can't change, you are my...faith!"

She walked into a corner of the basement, flipped through the shelves, and found a huge poster of Murphy, which she had posted at home before.

Daisy unfolded the poster and saw Murphy Stanton with a faint smile on it, her eyes instantly became extremely sharp.

"Traitor!" She unconsciously said, "Damn...Traitor!"

Resisting the urge to tear the poster apart, Daisy put it on the basement wall, took out a bright red lipstick, and wrote a line of letters "Traitor" on the poster.

She stood across the poster and looked for a while, then raised her hand holding the lipstick again, and drew a red "x" symbol of the project on Murphy Stanton's head on the poster!

In this case, let the black, crazy and evil Murphy live in his memory!

After the TV interview, although the controversy and criticism of "Dark City" were still loud, the fans of Murphy who had only fought back sporadically before were united. How could the scattered attacks be comparable to the overall battle? A large number of voices supporting Murphy and "Dark City" quickly appeared on the Internet. With the media under 20th Century Fox and News Corporation, public opinion was divided into two factions for a time.

Leading with some media that support Catholicism, one group is crazy about Murphy and "The City of Darkness", and even Hollywood movies and their self-censorship system; the other group is firmly on the stance of Murphy and the film industry.

Especially the media related to the six major Hollywood companies, after some of Archbishop Marquez Costello's remarks were exposed, they all stood on Murphy's side.

To a certain extent, they share common interests with Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox, and the Hollywood film industry has developed to its current prosperity, and no one wants the power of the church to come in and get involved.

Does anyone like when someone is making money happily, suddenly someone jumps out and puts a pair of handcuffs that restrict freedom of movement on themselves?

Murphy also commissioned a professional survey company to understand the public's views, to be precise, the position of ordinary people.

The survey results were quickly fed back to Murphy. Among the more than 6,000 people that the survey company immediately asked about the streets and alleys of major cities across the United States, nearly 85% of the people had surprisingly unanimous views and nothing to do with me!

To put it more specifically, after the Hollywood Chinese Theater shooting and subsequent murders in the park, and when the media frantically criticized "Dark City", these people should eat, drink, sleep, play or play, just treat these as some topics of conversation after dinner, just stand aside as pure bystanders to watch the fun.

As for the so-called negative impacts of "Dark City" or Hollywood movies? These people don't care at all.

How to think and do it are all different things. Often times, what determines people's position is not the head, but the position where the butt is sitting. For example, the Catholic Church, why do they keep holding on to this incident? Is there just because there are Catholics among the victims?

It is impossible to say that movies cannot affect society. Just as the movie itself is deeply affected by the social environment, popular movies will in turn affect society.

Gradually, many mainstream media stood quietly on Murphy's side.

"At any time, movies should not give up the propaganda of mainstream values. These values ​​are ideologies and have universal values. Movies should not become aspirin that paralyzes the audience's ignorance of reality, nor should they become formalin that keeps the dark and rotten dark side of the audience's heart fresh."

"The most fascinating feature of the movie is that she can create a dreamy world for people, temporarily forget her own worries, and find her own happiness and satisfaction in the illusory world."

"Of course, this happiness and satisfaction cannot be built on the pain of others."

"It's too much to make movies pay for real social phenomena."

When Archbishop Marquez Costello and the Catholic Church showed their ambitions for Hollywood, many media suddenly changed their positions and changed from being criticized by Murphy to becoming a supporter.

Most of these media come from NBC Global Group, News Group, Walt Disney, Conscart and even Time Warner. They have a common feature. They all have a powerful Hollywood film production and distribution company. Perhaps only by looking at box office output, these film companies are insignificant in the huge industrial composition of these media groups, but they are the most important content providers. It is precisely with these content that media groups have derived a larger industrial group.

For example, Walt Disney and Time Warner are the most representative companies.

However, the controversy over "Dark City" in media opinions has not been interrupted, and the power behind some media does not want to be interrupted.

"The reason why Murphy Stanton and his works are frightening is that you can feel the huge incitement brought by the movie. It arouses everyone's awareness of resistance to existing social rules. Audiences often start to expect villains to kill positive characters at the end. Positive characters have become the biggest obstacle to block social revolution. These villains have become heroes who destroy the state machine, causing people to follow suit."

This is pretty good, and some of the remarks are directed at Murphy himself.

"Only a mad director like Murphy Stanton in this world can create an perverted antisocial character like a magician, thus creating a crazy killer who imitates the magician!"

Some so-called well-informed people revealed to the media, "Murphy Stanton is also saying in private that there have been so many things, I don't know if I should blame the murderer or myself..."

Public opinion is often the vanguard of some actions!

With the second murder, the situation became more and more complicated. Some moral organizations and religious figures even appeared in front of the Fox Building in Century City and near the Wave Manor in Beverly Hills after the Independence Day holiday. Not only did they hold up various slogans and flags to protest, but they also suggested that the federal government force the "Dark City" to be removed from the market.

It is very difficult for these so-called organizations to actually do something, but no one can ignore their ability to destroy.

Especially religious organizations mainly composed of the Catholic Church, even though they have little influence in southern central California, they still have many believers. It is not difficult to summon hundreds or even thousands of devout believers to run to Murphy's house to protest.

Although the pressure is huge, Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox would not agree with their unreasonable request to let "Dark City" be removed in advance, and there is no need to think about it.

Moreover, those people not only demanded that Murphy publicly apologize to "The City of Darkness", especially to apologize to the Catholic Church, reflect on their own filmmaking philosophy, and past actions of slandering the Catholic Church.
