Hollywood Road - Chapter 674

Driving the SUV, Daisy followed the man into downtown Los Angeles. After turning a few consecutive turns, he saw him parked outside an apartment building. He quickly got out of the car and entered the apartment building with a bag. live here.

Daisy waited for another hour, and saw that the man changed his clothes, came out of it with a black trash bag, went to the alley behind the house, threw the trash bag into the trash can, and then turned back. , And entered the apartment building again.

“It looks like,” Daisy nodded confidently, “I just live here.”

She looked at the car’s navigation, reached out and tapped a few times on the LCD screen, made a sign, and started the car and left here.

“Asshole, I won’t let you go!”

Driving the car, Daisy kept talking to herself, “You will definitely pay for what you do!”

Back home, she immediately found the drawing board, drew a baseball cap on the drawing board, and then imitated the magician’s way of spreading horror in “Dark City”, laying a brighter red’X’ on it!

In the past, Murphy was her belief, now the magician has become her belief!

Daisy believes that as long as she plans carefully, she can definitely cause chaos in Los Angeles like a magician!

Therefore, the first step is very important. She is not prepared to act as sneaky as the violence on the beach before, and it is impossible to bring chaos.

She needs explosive effects, and choosing a suitable place to do it is very important!

Just before commanding a winning battle on IMDB, Daisy is confident and confident that she can do this.

Putting the easel in the center of the living room, Daisy walked to the background wall behind the sofa, on which was a huge poster of the magician.

She raised her hand and slowly brushed it from the magician, “Since you can’t come out, let me realize the chaos for you.”

In the next few days, Daisy went to the apartment where the Red Baseball Cap lived almost every day, and gradually figured out some of the other party’s activities, and she also noticed that there had been a period of time on the Internet that attacked Murphy and slandered Catholicism. , Began to appear again, it seems that it has nothing to do with this red baseball cap.

However, Daisy has been planning and did not do it. She knows that she is a woman. She wants to cause confusion and needs a stronger body. Therefore, she goes to gun clubs and fitness clubs more frequently, and even adds some fitness equipment at home. .

May has come to the end of the month, and “Dark City” is about to begin its fifth weekend of North American screenings, and it faces the challenge of “Shocking Crisis” produced and released by Sony Columbia Pictures. The production cost of this film is as high as 150 million. The US dollar super-commercial giant is directed by Roland Emmerich, who is loyal to destroying the earth, and is still quite attractive to movie fans.

In any case, with the great success of films such as “Independence Day”, “The Day After” and “2012”, Roland Emmerich can be included in the ranks of Hollywood’s first-line commercial directors.

Roland Emmerich can be described as a fanatical destroyer of the White House. He once let aliens destroy the building in “Independence Day” released in 1997, and let the aircraft carrier “John F-Kennedy” in “2012” Passing through it, this time prepare a group of terrorists to transform into a demolition team.

Frankly speaking, the theme of destroying the White House can indeed attract many viewers.

Murphy had heard that it took Sony Columbia Pictures three million dollars to buy the script for the film from James Van der Bilt. This deal was also called by The Hollywood Reporter: ” The most expensive script sale in recent times”.

At one time, Murphy saw this action blockbuster with the White House as a battlefield. Although “Shocking Crisis” won’t get many points for originality, seriousness and sophistication, it is indeed very interesting. I have to admit, Roland -Emmerich is an amazing screen presenter, he knows how to put a large-scale chaotic scene on the stage.

For audiences who like pure popcorn movies, “Shocking Crisis” still has a certain appeal.

On the coming weekend of Memorial Day, this commercial masterpiece by Sony Columbia Pictures earned more than 21 million US dollars in three days. With a gap of 3 million US dollars, it ranked second in the North American box office rankings!

The first place is still “Dark City.” Murphy’s film achieved five consecutive North American box office titles. It received $24 million on the weekend of the fifth week of its release and continued to lead the North American box office rankings.

In addition to the 16 million US dollars in the previous four working days, “Dark City” took 30 million US dollars from the North American theater market in seven days this week, and the North American box office totaled US$662.1 million.

Since then, “Dark City” has also successfully surpassed “Titanic”‘s $658.67 million and ranked second in the North American box office list!

Murphy broke James Cameron’s monopoly on the top two of the North American box office, and made countless American media sing praises again.

In the new issue of Time magazine, Murphy is directly listed as the cover character.

“As a top Hollywood director, Murphy Stanton has the qualities of a **** or an empire builder. He is not only an expert in popular culture, but also the director most needed in the increasingly homogenized Hollywood movie circle!”

The touts of other media are no weaker than Time Magazine.

“Murphy Stanton is God’s darling!”

“In front of Murphy Stanton, apart from James Cameron, he is the only one left!”

“Since the birth of the film industry, no director has been able to build a commercial appeal far more powerful than a Hollywood superstar like Murphy Stanton.”

Even many media in North America can’t wait to issue such a title: With James Cameron’s sparse production, Murphy Stanton is the real king of commercial movies!

It is no exaggeration to say that the upsurge caused by “Dark City” in North America has long surpassed the scope of movies and has become a social and cultural phenomenon.

Murphy himself knows very well that the North American box office of “Dark City” will not be a problem. The most important thing now is the global box office. Only overseas markets can push the global box office of “Dark City” to more than 2 billion as soon as possible. The dollar mark.

The population of North America is limited. The combined population of the United States and Canada is only more than 350 million. Including the foreign population and the smugglers who buy tickets for movies, the market for 400 million people at most, 700 million U.S. dollars The box office has almost reached the ceiling. After all, it is impossible for everyone in North America to like Murphy and “Dark City”, and no film can do this.

Fortunately, the overseas performance of “Dark City” is not bad at all.

In the past, the North American box office of Murphy’s films was basically better than the overseas box office. Even if the overseas box office number is higher than that of North America, it is not much higher, which is not in line with the current trend of Hollywood blockbusters.

This can be said to be a result of the type of film and personal style.

However, after many years of efforts by Murphy, he has stood among the top ranks of Hollywood director circles. The appeal of a top Hollywood director is huge in the global market, and “Dark City” has also gotten rid of the previous The response from overseas has been quite enthusiastic.

Outside of North America, from Latin America to Europe, from the Middle East to the Far East, from Australia to Russia, the mainstream media of many countries can see information related to “Dark City” everywhere.

“The Dark City” and its director Murphy Stanton are making an impact on the record. This film has won the box office rankings in all the countries of distribution, and has gradually formed a unique phenomenon. Parents bring Children go to watch, and younger generations take elders to watch. This is a cross-age experience sharing. It breaks the barriers of language, culture, and religion, and has set off a movie-watching boom all over the world. This trend continues…”

“Just sitting on the subway, you can hear people around you talking about this movie, talking about Chris Dann, talking about the madness of the magician, talking about the chaos Murphy Stanton wants to express through this film, Philosophical issues such as law and human rights…”

Even in overseas regions, the influence of “Dark City” is beyond the scope of movies and has become a cultural or social phenomenon.

Although European directors full of envy, jealousy and hatred have tried their best to criticize the “Dark City” for its lack of artistry, except for the showy IMAX panorama, which is just for the sensational and sensational **** plot, they can’t stop this in the slightest. The forward trend of this movie.

Their views do not affect mainstream audiences at all. What movie do most people like? This kind of question can be answered without asking.

Even the mainstream media in Europe, seeing the longer and longer queues of ticket purchases, face the increasingly feared box office numbers, they can only give compliments.

“Murphy Stanton is becoming the leader of the world’s trend and culture!”

“Although 2013 has only just begun for half a year, we can confirm that no one can be more influential than Murphy Stanton. His place is simply the focus and center of the world! Any word of his , Any action can easily attract the attention of the public and get on the headlines of major media.”

In the praise of overseas, the overseas box office of “Dark City” has reached 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, and the global box office reached 1.862.8 billion U.S. dollars!

All this is far from the end when the film has only been shown for five weeks. Although from the beginning of the new week, the film’s working day box office may drop below 2 million US dollars, but in North America and the world, There is still a long show time.

This new Monday is Memorial Day and a public holiday in North America, but Archbishop Marquez Costello held a press conference.
