Hollywood Road

The sharp scissors shone with a cold light. As Daisy's fingers slowly opened, the frightening blade was revealed. The blade was smooth and flat. Under the light, Daisy's skin was extremely white. The skin can also see the root blood vessels above.

The opened scissors were getting closer and closer to Daisy's neck, and the hairs on several blood vessels seemed to sense danger, and immediately stood up!

Finally, the sharp scissors stopped near the main artery in the neck!

Daisy pressed her fingers hard, and the scissors opened to the limit, and then cut it down quickly. There was a clear and recognizable friction sound, and the two sharp blades were kneaded together again, followed by the sound of something breaking.

The scissors opened again, Daisy raised her left hand, and pushed a strand of golden hair between the blades. With the sound of 'click', another strand of golden hair fell to the ground, covering the hair that fell to the ground before. .

This young girl seemed to be going crazy, the scissors in her hands kept opening and closing, and her beautiful long golden hair kept falling, strands of hair fluttering in the air, like countless golden raindrops falling from the sky, slowly falling On the ground, the ground of the dressing room is embellished with golden light.

Perhaps it was due to the frequent grooming of her own hair, Daisy only took a few minutes to cut off the long golden hair that had been carefully groomed before, and spent more than half an hour with the cooperation of scissors, comb and hairspray. Next, the remaining hair is arranged into the meticulous hairstyle of the magician in "Dark City".

"It's about the same!" Daisy smiled with satisfaction, grabbed a colored magic ball and threw it to catch it, "It seems that something is still missing."

She was a woman after all, and she couldn't be as crazy as James Franco just because of her looks.

The appearance and temperament are not enough, so I can get the equipment together. Daisy walked out of the dressing room, went to the storage room, opened the entrance of the underground storage room, and slowly entered the basement.

This basement is not big, usually Daisy often comes down, whether it is the stairs or the walls, she has cleaned everything, almost spotless.

The basement was very empty, but there was a huge metal cabinet directly facing the entrance. Daisy walked over and opened it directly. The inventory in the cabinet revealed its true appearance. It was an old-fashioned AR-15 rifle, and there were two other Take a Glock, and a few grenades.

Daisy took off the rifle, unloaded the magazine with some bluntness, and looked at the barrel again, confirming that it does not need maintenance yet.

Because the movies she likes to watch are black violent movies by Murphy Stanton, and there are always a lot of violent scenes such as gun battles in the movies, Daisy joined a gun club very early to learn some skills of shooting and firearms. However, she is far more interested in movies than firearms, and she has only been to the club a few times, and she is not particularly familiar with firearms.

The guns in the basement were all ordered by her through black channels on the Internet. In the United States, it is very troublesome to hold a gun without a license, but it is not too difficult to buy a gun.

After taking two guns and looking at them side by side, Daisy closed the storage cabinet, turned around and left the basement, and went to the dressing room to take off the magician costume, but seeing her hairstyle in the mirror, all His mind was once again occupied by the magician, so he simply left the house and drove to the gun club he joined.

The gun club was not far away, and Daisy walked into the gate of the club about half an hour later.

"Welcome!" The security guard at the door looked at the membership card she handed over, and said respectfully, "The Colt Club will provide you with the best service."

Daisy nodded, wearing this super cool hairstyle, walked into the club, found the coach who taught her before, and started shooting practice again.

She didn't leave until it got dark, and when she got into the car again, she shook her head again and again, obviously very dissatisfied with her shooting level.

"If I had known earlier, I would have practiced more.

Daisy patted the steering wheel angrily,

"Shooting a gun is not as easy as I thought!"

She started the car and made a decision. In the past two days, in addition to going to the theater to watch "Dark City" and The Magician several times, she must come to the club to practice guns, especially the AR-15 rifle!

The long Saturday was spent in the dark night, and the sun had just risen on Sunday when His Excellency Archbishop Marquez Costello arrived at his office in Santa Monica.

He sat behind the desk and found that there were no documents on the desk, and asked, "Is there any urgent business today?"

The assistant who came in together quickly replied, "No."

Archbishop Marquez Costello waved his hand at him, and the assistant was about to go out when he was stopped again, "Do you know which newspaper has box office statistics for Hollywood movies?"

"Uh..." the assistant didn't understand what he was going to do, but said, "It should be on the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times."

"Bring me a copy." Archbishop Marquez Costello ordered.

Last night, he attended a high-end party, like this kind of party in the Los Angeles area, it is inevitable that there will be Hollywood figures, those people and some guys who are interested in the film industry, discussing a movie all night——Murphy - Dark City by Stanton!

"Murphy Stanton is about to become a god!"

"After this film, he can stand shoulder to shoulder with James Cameron!"

These are all heard by Archbishop Marquez Costello. He still knows who James Cameron is.

Hearing that this bastard who slandered and deceived Catholicism is still climbing to a higher place, he felt very uncomfortable.

Although Murphy-Stanton was listed as extremely unfriendly to Catholicism from the Vatican to North America to the South Central Diocese of California, there was no suitable point of counterattack.

Now I can only endure it temporarily, but Archbishop Marquez Costello also knows that if he wants to find a chance to fight back, he must pay attention to the opponent's dynamics in time, and his film works are certainly no exception.

The assistant quickly brought a copy of the "Los Angeles Times", and when it was placed on the desk in front of Archbishop Marquez Costello, the newspaper had already turned to the entertainment page, and the headline on the front page of the page was related to "Dark City" !

Obviously, this assistant is also a caring person.

Archbishop Marquez Costello temporarily put aside those messy thoughts, quickly scanned the headlines on the front page, and felt the urge to curse. This bastard named Murphy Stanton is so lucky. It even created a new record in North American film history.

That bastard should make a lot of money, right? Archbishop Márquez Costello was somewhat envious, despite being angry.

And all because that number is staggering.

According to the report of the "Los Angeles Times", "Dark City" received 75.5 million US dollars from North America on Saturday, that is, yesterday, and stepped on all the previous Saturday box office sales figures in North America, creating a new one. North American Saturday single-day box office record!

Even though he only has a simple understanding of the film industry, Archbishop Marquez Costello knows very well that such a single-day box office data cannot be described as 'horrific'.

After reading the report, he sat quietly and thought for a while, and Archbishop Marquez Costello called his assistant.

"Let people keep an eye on Murphy Stanton." He said directly, "The news about him will be sorted out every three days and sent to me."

The assistant nodded, "Yes!"

With the advent of Sunday, the popularity of "Dark City" continued to decline. It is impossible for any film to maintain a single-day output of more than 100 million US dollars for too long. A gentle decline in itself is a normal reaction of the market.

"City of Darkness" has become the most mentioned entertainment topic in North America. This film attracts not only fans of Murphy and the fans of "City of Chaos" before, but also more passers-by audiences because of the overwhelming audience. Word-of-mouth and constant topics, also bought tickets to enter the theater.

Two days after the film was released, the unwilling media even began to speculate that James Franco's performance was fully qualified to be nominated for an Oscar and took away an Oscar for acting in order to gain attention and attention.

Of course, the shadows of Stanton Studios and Twentieth Century Fox are indispensable behind these hypes.

However, in addition to a series of good news, there is not no bad news. For example, the vast market across the Pacific Ocean, because the theme of the film and some plots involve relations with Hong Kong, has not yet been approved. Twentieth Century Fox is still in the market. Working hard on public relations, whether "Dark City" will be released in theaters in that market is still unknown.

In addition, the theme of the film is too heavy, and the magician is too crazy in the film. As a result, although "Dark City" is rated PG-13, it has triggered discussions in some media that it should be classified as R-rated, and even the entire U.S. The Association of Teachers and Parents also publicly recommends that children under the age of 16 watch this film under the supervision of their parents.

These troubles are not big, but they must be dealt with in a timely manner. Fortunately, as a distributor, 20th Century Fox has sufficient capabilities and experience. After all, every blockbuster movie in Hollywood is produced, and there are always quite a lot of troubles accompanying it. thing.

The release time of the film is still short, and Murphy and Kara Firth have already made preparations. The two of them are very sure that a certain screenwriter or unknown writer will definitely jump out in the future and clamor that "Dark City" has stolen their work. Creativity, copyright infringement, etc...

These have even become the conditions that every Hollywood blockbuster movie must face.

On Sunday, Murphy split the crew into two, and Gal Gadot led the actors headed by Margot Robbie and Henry Cavill to overseas regions, while he joined forces with James Franco and Christopher- Waltz ran circulars throughout North America.
