Picking up the carbon signature pen, Murphy moved his wrist. He also did this kind of signing activity during the period when Hollywood DVDs were super popular. It is enough to draw a few specially designed simplified letters on it, and then communicate a few words with fans in a timely manner, but it is actually a physical job.

Signing hundreds or even thousands of names in one breath is definitely uncomfortable for the wrist, and it is inevitable to feel sore and swollen.

However, Murphy has a unique skill. When signing, he can swing his bow left and right, and his hands can take turns to rest. On the one hand, he has a little bit of knowledge, and on the other hand, when he designed the signature, he tried to simplify it as much as possible. .

Like the signatures of all celebrities, Murphy's design signature is similar to ghost symbols in the words of the past.

Murphy took off the cap of the carbon ballpoint pen, looked up, and saw that the first movie fan had already walked in.

This is a girl with blond hair and short ears. The girl looks familiar. She is holding a stack of Blu-ray DVDs that are obviously newly purchased. She has a bright smile on her face. She seems very happy to be the first one to sign.

The other person looked familiar, but Murphy couldn't remember where he had seen him before. Bill Rosses, who was standing behind him, reminded him in a low voice, "This girl's name is Daisy, and she's the leader of your discussion group on the imdb board. She's very hardcore. fans."

After being reminded by Bill Rosses, Murphy immediately thought of her, the leader of a loose and huge online fan organization.

"Hello, Murphy." Daisy had already walked over. She was carrying too many Blu-ray discs. A staff member hurried over to help her put the discs on the table. The staff smiled implicitly, "Thank you."

Murphy took a disc from the stack, scratched his name on it with a pen, and nodded to the blonde girl, "Hi, Daisy."

"Uh……"

Hearing Murphy directly calling her name, Daisy was stunned for a moment, and then her mouth almost burst into laughter, "Murphy...you...do you remember me?"

"Of course." In addition to signing the disc, Murphy added the phrase 'for dear Daisy', and then said, "You are the leader of my discussion group on the imdb forum, and we have met a few times. "

"Yes! Yes!" Daisy nodded hastily, forgetting that Murphy never replied to her email.

The girl bought more than a dozen discs, and Murphy patiently signed them one by one, and at the same time had a brief exchange with her.

"Come to line up early today?" He asked.

"It'll be here at five o'clock in the morning." Daisy was not tired from waiting all morning, but was elated, "But it's worth being the first one in line."

After signing all the dozens of discs, Murphy waved to the staff next to him. The staff came over again, picked up all the discs, and prepared to send out this obviously unusual fan.

"Goodbye, Murphy."

"Goodbye, Daisy."

Satisfied, Daisy followed the staff, left the signing area, asked for her disc back, walked out of the Santa Monica Commercial Plaza, came to the parking lot, got into her car, and didn't start the car , but sat in the driver's seat and waited. I had contacted through the mobile phone before, and there were several acquaintances in the discussion group who were queuing up. They all came by tram. She was going to take them along with her.

In the Santa Monica Commercial Plaza, Murphy continued to sign, just like he did with Daisy. In addition to signing his name, he would also write a congratulatory message on the disc, "To so-and-so". Will exchange a few words with fans.

Murphy has always been very clear that in the fiercely competitive Hollywood, fans are the basis for a director like him to build such fame and status, and he will not do stupid things that destroy the cornerstone.

Ten minutes after the signing began, reporters from some large media outside were also brought in. This was originally an event to promote the follow-up film.

How can there be less media participation?

However, the reporters could only stand outside the isolation zone in the signature area, about 20 feet away from Murphy's side, and would not disturb his normal work.

The reporters from the major newspapers were also more cooperative at this time, and they knew that when the signatures were finalized, the protagonists of the event would definitely be interviewed.

Some reporters were filming Murphy's autograph and communicating with fans, and several reporters came to the queue area, ready to interview the waiting fans.

"Hello, I'm Cramer from The Hollywood Reporter..."

A young reporter wearing glasses approached a male movie fan in his twenties, "Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Of course." The male fan said cheerfully.

The young reporter put the recorder in front of the fans and asked, "How long have you been in line?"

Without even thinking about it, the male movie fan said, "It's been almost six hours, and I came here before the commercial center opened."

"Why did you come so early?" The young reporter seemed to be inexperienced, asking a somewhat formulaic question, "Is it worth it?"

"Of course it's worth it!" The male fan said forcefully, "I like Murphy's movies very much, and I like "City of Chaos". I've been looking forward to the second one, and I can't wait!"

The line was moving forward, and the fan hurriedly followed regardless of the reporters standing there, as if queuing up was far more important than being interviewed by reporters.

"Justin..."

The person in front turned around and asked, "What's going on?"

"It's okay." The man named Justin shook his head, "I met a stupid reporter."

"Then hurry up and follow." The person in front reminded him, "We are almost here."

At the signing table, Murphy's signature pen has been switched to his left hand. It is difficult to write more regular words with his left hand, but it is not difficult to draw his signature.

"Thank you for your support." Murphy handed over a signed disc to fans and said with a smile, "Please continue to support my film."

"I will!" The fans were flattered and vowed, "I will definitely."

The fan left the side of the signing table and walked outside, and the staff on the opposite side let another fan in. This was a man wearing a baseball cap who looked to be in his early twenties, with a few hairs hanging from the brim of the hat. Strand of brown hair, is a typical Caucasian.

He had a stern face, holding the "City of Chaos" disc in one hand, and suddenly reached into his pocket with the other hand, as if he was about to take out something.

The pen turning in Murphy's left hand suddenly stopped, because he saw the man take out a spherical object from his pocket.

At the same time that Murphy found out, the bodyguards also saw it. Two bodyguards took a step forward. As soon as they came to Murphy's side, the man raised his hand and threw the spherical object over.

Murphy was about to hide, and a bodyguard was already blocking the front, and then Murphy heard the sound of something breaking.

"Keep him under control!"

At the same time, the voice of Bill Rosies shouted, and the two bodyguards couldn't help explaining. One of them grabbed Murphy's arm and led him to the back. The previous bodyguard still blocked him to prevent The opponent attacked again.

Murphy didn't stop them, his own safety came first, but he took a look, and it was obvious that the bodyguard was hit by an egg, not sure if it was a rotten egg.

"You're an asshole, Murphy Stanton, you're an asshole!"

The roar of the movie fan sounded from behind, "How dare you slander Catholicism in the movie! You are slandering the Heavenly Father! You have blasphemed the gods, and you will definitely go to hell! You will definitely..."

It turned out to be a protest for Catholicism? Murphy turned his head quickly, and when he saw Bill Rosses following him, he quickly waved to him.

"What's wrong?" Bill Rosses came over and asked.

Two bodyguards surrounded Murphy, and it was inconvenient for Murphy to speak, so he said as concisely as possible, "Don't embarrass him, it's just a difference of belief."

"I know." Bill Rosses knew Murphy's plan and immediately understood, "Don't worry, go back first, I know what to do."

He said to the bodyguard, "Protect Murphy."

After speaking, Bill Rossis turned and walked back.

Although two bodyguards and a staff member subdued the egg-throwing Catholic believer, the scene was already chaotic. Fortunately, the movie fans said that most of them were aggrieved, but the media reporters were different. This kind of news was their favorite. The reporter directly broke through the isolation zone and ran to the Catholic believer to take a close-up shot. It would be better if they could interview him, while another group of reporters chased after Murphy's retreat.

"You blasphemed the gods! Heavenly Father will punish you, and every Catholic will not let you go..."

The man was still yelling and cursing, as if Murphy had violated his most sacred territory.

"Unlucky!"

Looking at the chaos ahead, Justin cursed in a low voice, "This bastard!"

After such a thing happened, even if he was just a movie fan, he could guess that the signing could not continue.

The people in front kept shaking their heads, "What a disappointment, what a fool!"

The mobile phone message notification sounded suddenly. Justin took out his mobile phone, opened it and looked at it, and found that it was Daisy, the leader of his discussion group, who sent a message to ask him if he was done. If it was done, go to the parking lot and wait for him.

"No, the signature was not obtained, and Murphy was attacked!"

"What? Someone dared to attack Murphy? Was he injured?"

"He's fine, the egg thrown by the attacker was blocked by the bodyguard, now the attacker is subdued by the security at the scene, the signing may be interrupted..."

Just as Justin was typing, there was another announcement from the organizer. As he expected, after a solemn apology, the organizer reluctantly announced that today's signing had to be canceled due to safety issues.

Although the fans were dissatisfied, they basically vented their anger on the Catholic, and there was a lot of cursing at the scene.

Afterwards, Justin received a call from Daisy and told her the specific situation, and suddenly found that the attacker was released by the security personnel and was about to leave.

"The attacker was released."

He said into the phone, the receiver was quiet for a while, and then Daisy's voice sounded again, "Follow him and see where he goes."
