Chapter 634 Force them to speak out

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

When facing reporters' questions, Murphy always seemed calm and calm. Even if the other party raised some questions other than the agreement, he could still deal with them calmly. The last attack, the conflict with the Catholic Church brought by Diego Ross, was the main content of the interview.

"All the content of my film "Diego Ross" is based on reality." Murphy shook his head at the reporter, "I can't just protest a few words and make large-scale modifications or deletions to the film, so that the director has no meaning. How should all Hollywood films adapted based on real events be filmed in the future?"

"Others protest?" Kelly Marlat immediately caught the point of Murphy's words and asked, "Has anyone ever protested to you? Apart from the people who attacked you at the signing meeting?"

When Murphy saw the female reporter, he said directly, "Yes, Father Marquez Costello, the chief Archbishop of the Catholic diocese in Southern California, once found me and thought that the content I took was a blasphemy for the Catholic Church and asked me to delete the relevant content strictly."

Kelly Marlat immediately became very energetic. This religious force directly interfered in Hollywood filming and production. Looking at the history of Hollywood in recent decades, it is very rare.

"You refused?" she asked.

"I refuse!" Murphy changed into an extremely serious tone. "I can't bear the severe accusations of Archbishop Marquez Costello. If my video desecrated the Catholic Church, how do you calculate victims like Diego Ross? How do you make up for the harm they suffered? Who should I ask for?"

"Well..." Kelly Marlat quickly recorded in his notebook, without stopping, "What do you think of his protest?"

"Some ugly things have been done but the people who discover them are not allowed to be made public. They also have to try to cover up and suppress them. Is this still the America of democracy and freedom?" Murphy seemed extremely angry. "I respect religious freedom, but should others respect Hollywood's freedom? As a director, I think that as long as you respect the truth, Hollywood has the freedom to draw materials and shoot!"

"A great religion that we trust extremely and countless believers regard as souls..." Murphy certainly knew what to say, "But some people inside do not face the existence of the cancer, and I feel deeply regretful."

Speaking of this, he shook his head again with a heartache.

Kelly Marlat asked again, "Did the Catholic Church put a lot of pressure on you?"

"Very big!" Murphy nodded, "The other party directly warned me that he represents Catholicism! And not only put pressure on me directly, he also wanted to create obstacles to the screening of the film "Diego Ross" through various channels."

"Do you know what?" Kelly Marlat found that this interview was easy. He didn't need to dig deeper. He just needed to follow the words of the big director and could get enough information. "Can you tell me?"

"I have exact news. His Excellency Archbishop Marquez Costello has put pressure on the screenwriters' union, director's union and producers' union." Murphy said all the facts, basically no false information was mixed. "I want to let me modify the video through the union organization."

Kelly Marlat looked at Murphy, "Did they put pressure on you?"

"No!" Murphy praised, "the union organizations guarantee the interests of us practitioners, and they are well aware of the importance of democracy and freedom to the film industry. As far as I know, the representatives of these unions have harshly rejected the unreasonable demands of His Excellency Archbishop Marquez Costello."

He smiled, "I want to thank them for their respect and support for me. We spent decades of time building Hollywood film freedom, and it is necessary for every practitioner to maintain this."

Murphy doesn't know whether the slogan of freedom that is shouted in the circle is useful, but he knows that most people care very much about this. The freedom of film material is also directly related to Hollywood's freedom of speech. Only a sufficient environment of freedom of speech, including these Hollywood celebrities, can make themselves look outstanding and become a very special existence in this world.

If Hollywood hadn't resisted the so-called "freedom" banner firmly on its shoulders, it would never let go. In the past, would Meryl Streep angrily criticize the White House owner Donald Trump at the Golden Globes, and even swear words? Will a group of Hollywood celebrities in the audience applaud? Will there be such stars 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 they are unique and Hollywood should enjoy far more power and freedom than ordinary people!

The interview ended successfully. Kelly Marlat asked his assistant to pack up his things. He walked out of the news hall and immediately called several reporters with good relationships in the newspaper. He briefly repeated the information Murphy revealed, so that they could go to the screenwriter work as quickly as possible. The Directors Union and the Producers Alliance interviewed relevant people and obtained first-hand information to create a whole special series.

She had thought about the topic of this series, called 'Catholics are reaching out to film and production in Hollywood!'

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

In the news room, Bill Roses came over after Murphy took off his clothes and said, "This reporter cooperated more than expected."

"Because we have released enough materials on our own initiative." Murphy shrugged and asked, "Is there any problem with the union?"

He is not underestimating himself. In the union, the influence of a single person is really limited, not to mention that he has quit the directorial work.

"Don't worry." Bill Roses was full of confidence. "The Archbishop Marquez Costello, who has not known Hollywood enough, has touched one of the most sensitive nerves in this industry."

A creaking sound rang out, and the glass door of the press room was pushed open from outside. Kelly Marlat, a female reporter who had previously interviewed Murphy, walked in. She returned to Murphy, stretched out a hand and showed a warm smile, "Thank you, Director Stanton, very pleasant collaboration."

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

Bill Rossis's cell phone rang, he left here, Kelly Marlat looked around, suddenly lowered his voice, "Director Stanton, if you need it..."

She handed over a business card and made a phone call.

Murphy subconsciously took the photo. In addition to the name of "Kelly Marlat" in the photo, it was a string of numbers, which was obviously the private phone call of the female reporter.

"What are you doing?" Murphy was confused and wondered, "When did the senior reporter of The Hollywood Reporter serve as a member of the ****?"

Besides, even if she wants to do it, is it still a question if anyone is willing to find it? How lustful and stupid are Hollywood celebrities to be, so they will find a female reporter to mess with it?

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

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

Kelly Marlat then added, "If you have any new insider information, you can also discuss it with me."

Murphy put away his expression just now and glanced at Kelly Marlat. There was indeed no free lunch in this world, and a big pie wouldn't suddenly fall.

Just then Bill Roses walked back with his cell phone. Murphy found an excuse to discuss something with Bill Roses and left here.

If he had just entered the industry, he might need the praise or praise of a senior reporter from the Hollywood Reporter, but forget it now. There are many media channels that can be used, and there is no need to take certain risks to cooperate with a reporter, especially an entertainment reporter.

People like them cannot get too close to entertainment reporters. No one knows whether these guys will sell you in order to create news?

Not to mention journalists, some editors of entertainment magazines are also unreliable.

For example, Tina Brown, the editor-in-chief of "Vanity Fair", was a close friend to Princess Diana in the early 1990s. She learned a lot of unknown internal news about her. As a result, when the time was right, she immediately launched an unknown Princess Diana series in the magazine, which attracted countless attention. Later, she also published her experience of getting along with Diana into a book...

These are the lessons of the past for Murphy.

Murphy followed Bill Roses to Bill Roses's office.

After entering the office, Bill Roses said, "My friend at the Hollywood Reporter just called. Their reporters have already gone to interviews with major unions. I believe there will be relevant news tomorrow."

"Yeah." Murphy pulled a chair and sat down, "If they didn't make a sound, we would force them to speak."

It is far from enough to make a difference in this Oscar.

Things went smoothly. On the newly published "Hollywood Reporter" the next day, the cover of the magazine was a picture of Murphy sitting in the news hall. The actual content of the first part of the cover was Catholic-related content.
