In the face of reporters' questions, Murphy always appeared calm and calm. Even if the other party raised some questions that were not agreed upon, he could calmly deal with them. The last time he was attacked, "Diego Ross" brought about a relationship between him and the Catholic Church. This is the main content of the interview.

"All the content of the film "Diego Ross" I shot is based on the truth." Murphy shook his head at the reporter, "I can't just protest the film with a few casual protests. Make major revisions or deletions, then the director will have no meaning to exist, how should all Hollywood movies based on real events be made in the future?"

"Other people protested?" Kelly Mallrat immediately caught the point of Murphy's words and asked, "Has anyone protested to you? Except for the people who attacked you at the signing party?"

Murphy saw that the female reporter was very polite, and said directly, "Yes, Father Marquez Costello, the chief archbishop of the Catholic Diocese in Southern California, once approached me and thought that the content I filmed blasphemed the Catholic Church. Let me delete the relevant content."

Kelly Mallrat immediately got into high spirits. This kind of religious force directly interferes with Hollywood filming and production. Looking at the entire history of Hollywood in recent decades, it is very rare.

"You declined?" she asked.

"I refuse!" Murphy put on an unusually serious tone, "I cannot bear the severe accusations made by Archbishop Marquez Costello. If my film blasphemes the Catholic Church, then a victim like Diego Ross How do the victims count? How do they make up for the harm they have suffered? Who can they appeal to?"

"Hmm..." Kelly Mallrat quickly wrote down in her notebook without stopping, "What do you think of his protest?"

"Some scandals have been done, but those who discover them are not made public, and they still try to cover up and suppress them. Is this still a democratic and free America?" Murphy looked extremely angry, "I respect religious freedom, but should others also Respect the freedom of Hollywood? As a director, I think that as long as the truth is respected, Hollywood has the freedom to source materials and shoot!"

"A great religion that we trust so much and counts countless believers as their souls..." Murphy certainly knew what to say. "There are some people inside that don't face up to the cancer that exists. I deeply regret this."

Having said that, he shook his head again with a sad face.

Kelly Mallrat asked, "Is Catholicism putting a lot of pressure on you?"

"Very big!" Murphy nodded, "The other party directly warned me that he represented the Catholic Church! And not only did he put pressure on me directly, but he also tried to give "Diego Ross" a lot of money through various channels. create obstacles to the screening of this film."

"Do you know what there are?" Kelly Mallrat found that the interview was very easy, and she didn't need to dig deep at all. She only needed to follow the words of the great director and get enough shocking information, " Can you tell me?"

"I have definite news that His Excellency, Archbishop Marquez Costello, has put pressure on the screenwriters' union, directors' union and producers' union." What Murphy said was all facts, basically without false information, "I want to pass Union organization, let me modify the video."

Kelly Mallrat looked at Murphy. "They pressured you?"

"No!" Murphy praised, "The trade unions protect the interests of us practitioners, and they know the importance of democracy and freedom to the film industry. As far as I know, the representatives of these trade unions have sternly The unreasonable demands of His Excellency Archbishop Márquez Costello have been rejected."

He smiled, "I would like to thank them for their respect and support. It took us decades to establish the freedom of filming in Hollywood. It is necessary for every practitioner to maintain this."

Murphy didn't know whether the loud slogans of freedom in the circle were useful, but he knew that most people cared about this very much.

The freedom of film materials is also directly related to the freedom of speech in Hollywood. Only with a sufficient environment of free speech, these Hollywood celebrities including him can make themselves stand out and become a very special existence in this world.

If Hollywood hadn't held the banner of so-called 'freedom' firmly on its shoulders, and wouldn't let go for a moment, once upon a time, Meryl Streep would have lashed out at the upcoming White House occupant at the Golden Globe Awards Donald Trump, even swearing outright? Will all the Hollywood celebrities in the audience applaud collectively? Will there be so many celebrities who will jump out to support or oppose it on social networking sites?

After staying in Hollywood for so many years, Murphy has basically figured out the psychology of most celebrities in this circle. After all, they think that they are different, and Hollywood should enjoy far more power and freedom than ordinary people. !

The interview ended smoothly. Kelly Mallrat asked her assistant to pack up her things. After walking out of the press room, she immediately called a few reporters with good relations with the newspaper, and briefly recounted the information that Murphy had revealed, and asked them to go as quickly as possible. Go to screenwriters, directors' union and producers' union to interview relevant people and get first-hand information in order to make a whole special series.

She has already thought of the title of this series of reports, which is called 'The Catholic Church is reaching out to Hollywood film shooting and production! '

Not to mention anything else, this will definitely arouse great attention from movie fans and inside Hollywood!

In the press room, just as Murphy took off Mike from his clothes, Bill Rosses walked over and said, "This reporter is more cooperative than expected."

"Because we proactively released enough information." Murphy shrugged and asked, "Is there any problem with the union?"

He wasn't underestimating himself. With the trade union, a single person's influence was really limited, not to mention that he had quit the director's work.

"Don't worry." Bill Rossis was full of confidence. "The Archbishop Marquez Costello doesn't know enough about Hollywood. He has touched one of the most sensitive nerves in this industry."

There was a creaking sound, and the glass door of the press room was pushed open from the outside. The female reporter Kelly Mallrat, who had previously interviewed Murphy, walked in. She returned to Murphy and stretched out a hand, showing enthusiasm. With a smile, "Thank you, Director Stanton, for a very pleasant cooperation."

"Thank you." Murphy has always had a good attitude towards smiling people, "You are also the most outstanding female reporter I have ever seen."

Bill Rosses' cell phone rang, and he left here. Kelly Mallrat looked around, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Director Stanton, if you need..."

She handed over a business card and gestured for a phone call.

Murphy subconsciously took the photo. Apart from the name of 'Kelly Mallrat', there was only a string of numbers on the photo, which was obviously the female reporter's personal phone number.

"What's going on?" Murphy was puzzled, still wondering in his heart, "When did the senior reporter of The Hollywood Reporter also serve as ****?"

Besides, even if she wanted to do it, it was still a question of whether anyone would look for it? How horny and stupid do Hollywood stars have to be to find a female reporter to mess around with?

"Director Stanton..." Kelly Mallrat probably noticed something from Murphy's strange expression, and explained, "If you need some biased reports, you can call me."

"That's it." Murphy put away his business card and said casually, "If necessary, I will."

Kelly Mallrat then added, "If you have any novel inside information, you can discuss it with me."

Murphy put away the expression just now, and glanced at Kelly Mallrat. There really is no free lunch in this world, and a big pie will not suddenly fall.

It happened that Bill Rosses came back with his mobile phone at this time, and Murphy just found an excuse to discuss something with Bill Rosses and left here.

If he had just entered the industry, he might have needed the praise or praise of a senior reporter from The Hollywood Reporter, but let’s forget it now, there are many media channels available, and there is no need to take certain risks Work with a reporter, especially an entertainment reporter.

It is impossible for people like them to get too close to entertainment reporters. No one knows whether these guys will sell you in order to make news?

Not to mention reporters, editor-in-chiefs of some entertainment magazines are also unreliable.

For example, Tina Brown, the editor-in-chief of "Vanity Fair", was a close friend with Princess Diana in the early 1990s, and got a lot of inside information about her, but when the time was right, she immediately published a The little-known Princess Diana series has earned countless eyeballs, and her experience with Diana was later published as a book...

These are lessons for Murphy.

Murphy followed Bill Rosses out of the press room and went to Bill Rosses' office.

After entering the office, Bill Rosses said, "My friend at The Hollywood Reporter just called. Their reporters have gone to the major trade unions to interview, and I believe there will be relevant news in the newspapers tomorrow."

"Yeah." Murphy pulled out a chair and sat down, "If they don't make a sound, we will force them to make a sound."

If you want to make a difference in this year's Oscars, it is not enough to rely on the film itself.

Things went relatively smoothly. On the newly published "Hollywood Reporter" the next day, the cover of the magazine was a picture of Murphy sitting in the press room. The first part of the actual content on the cover was related to Catholicism.

This magazine quickly reached the hands of various readers through various sales outlets. At noon, Archbishop Marquez Costello also saw a copy specially sent by his subordinates.
