Hollywood Road

"You three, go drink while..."

Murphy waved to the three of James Franco, and then shouted to David Robbie, the lighting engineer who was chatting with Paul Wilson on the other side, "David, come here, come here."

"Here we come." David Robbie hurried over.

"David," Carey Mulligan said first, "When we were talking about vacation, you mentioned your hometown. Murphy and I are going on vacation."

"Are you going to Australia?" David Robbie said, handing the cup to Jonah Hill who was walking away from here. "Australia is not the best season to travel."

Carey Mulligan didn't care at all, instead saying, "I don't like places where the temperature is high, otherwise I might as well stay in Los Angeles."

Murphy knew that David Robbie was from Australia, but he didn't know where his hometown was. After all, Australia was so big.

"David," he asked, "where is your hometown? Sydney?"

"Oh, no," David Robbie shook his slightly dizzy head, and said after he regained consciousness, "It's a small city in Queensland, near the Gold Coast."

The Gold Coast is a tourist attraction in Australia, and Murphy has heard of it.

David Robbie added, "My home is in the country. My grandparents passed down a large farm. There are hares and wild deer flooding there. Now is the best hunting season."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Carey Mulligan, and Carey Mulligan looked at Murphy, "I've never hunted before."

Her bright eyes looked at Murphy expectantly. After thinking about it, Murphy nodded slowly.

Going to Australia to hunt is also good. I have lived on both sides of the Pacific Ocean for so long, but I have never fired a gun.

The celebration party lasted until early in the morning. When they were leaving, Murphy found that the paparazzi was following behind the car. Thinking that he followed others to ask for a living, but now he has become the target of others to ask for a living, he still feels a little bit emotional.

The world is always changing so fast.

Although it is said that I am going to Australia for vacation, I can't just go there. "Saw" has not yet been released from North America. There is still a series of work to be done between Stanton Studios and Fox Searchlight, and the time is gradually approaching September. On the 11th, Murphy also had some resistance to flying,

The safest thing to do right now is to stay on the ground in Los Angeles.

In the past few days, Murphy has been on the phone with friends when he has nothing to do, discussing his drawing and stealing talents with James Franco, and communicating with Jonah Hill about how to create humor and jokes just right. -Rogen chats about the use of a fat man in filming...

There is also Kara Firth, although they did not go out to have coffee together because they were both busy with work, but the two kept in touch on the phone. According to Kara Firth, she is about to be promoted again and may enter the Fox TV station. The Los Angeles branch holds extremely important positions.

In short, she was so busy going around that it was impossible to leave Los Angeles.

Then there is Rose. Even though the relationship between the two is estranged after they took different paths, Murphy has not forgotten him. Rose seems to have encountered some troubles recently and will not leave the City of Angels.

As for Carey Mulligan, Murphy doesn't have to worry at all. She maintains a two-point line between the acting school and the Stanton studio. Except for occasional shopping with Elizabeth Banks, she basically doesn't go to other places.

All the people who are close to him will not appear in places they shouldn't be during that special time period.

Even if Uncle Lantern may change due to the butterfly effect, it is unlikely to choose the City of Angels, which lacks tall buildings, as the target.

On an ordinary Tuesday morning, Murphy first sent Carey Mulligan to the acting school, returned to the Stanton studio, and told the telephone operator Rosa Rodriguez that there was nothing important to disturb him, and then came to the second floor. In the bedroom, I turned on the TV and began to switch between major news stations frequently, wanting to see relevant news as soon as possible.

He vaguely remembered that the attack seemed to have happened around nine o'clock. At that time, a TV station happened to be doing a program nearby, and it became a live broadcast.

, Fox News, CBS, NBC... The hour hand of the wall clock has passed nine o'clock. Murphy has searched all the major news stations, but there is no report related to terrorist attacks.

After waiting for another half an hour, nothing happened.

Could it be that the world has changed so dramatically because of the appearance of this insignificant little butterfly?

Murphy frowned, would his influence really be so great?

It's not that he underestimated himself, but after he came to this world, he really didn't do much. Even if there was a change, at best, it was only the fate of a few people, and it was limited to Los Angeles and even Hollywood.

After waiting until ten o'clock, Murphy stood up and walked to the south window, looked up into the distance, the sun gradually turned to this side, and the bright sunlight fell down, bringing with it the unique heat of Southern California.

Southern California? California? Thinking of this, Murphy couldn't help but patted his forehead hard. After coming here for so long, he was still used to the same time throughout the country, instead of distinguishing between Western Time and Eastern Time.

The 911 incident happened in New York, which is on the east coast of the United States, and where I am located is in Southern California, which is located on the west coast. There is a time difference between the two places!

When he came here, he stayed in Los Angeles except for going out to promote "Chain Saw". The rest of the time, he simply ignored the jet lag. Instead, his past habits misled him.

After thinking about this, Murphy went out for a walk, made a cup of coffee when he came back, sat in front of the TV and waited patiently.

Everything was just like the reports he had seen before. At around 9 o'clock Eastern Time in the United States, a passenger plane crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. These were all reports from the side, and the impact on people It was not very strong, and then another plane flew over the TV screen and hit the south tower of the Petronas Twin Towers. Blazing flames and thick smoke immediately shot up from the place where it was hit, and the TV screen went from the host to The people on the street and the rescuers were all panicked.

Not many people know what happened, let alone how it affects the world at large.

About ten minutes later, Murphy's cell phone rang, and Carey Mulligan's slightly panicked voice came from inside, "Have you read the news? New York seems to have been attacked by a missile! It's terrifying!"

"I saw it." Murphy comforted, "Honey, God will bless New York."

He then urged, "Stay in school and don't go anywhere."

Carey Mulligan had just hung up the phone when Murphy's phone rang again, this time it was James Franco.

"Hey, Murphy!" he asked loudly. "Did you watch the news? Do you know what's going on in New York?"

Murphy replied as calmly as possible, "It seems to be a terrorist attack. There is no definite news right now."

Just like the small group centered on Murphy, this incident became the focus of discussions across the United States at the fastest speed. From traditional TV programs to emerging online media, forums and blogs, there are all related information .

Murphy only confirmed one thing. None of the friends he made here were in New York, let alone in the World Trade Center.

That's enough for him.

Afterwards, everything that should have happened happened. The Pentagon was hit, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center collapsed one after another, and the airspace of the United States prohibited any civilian aircraft from taking off. Bush Jr. stood up and spoke, confirming that this was a terrorist attack...

There is no doubt that this is the heaviest blow to the United States. The fairy tale of peace that the United States can stay out of the world has been completely shattered, and another social change is about to begin.

Seeing everything that happened on the TV screen, Murphy couldn't help but think of Fahrenheit 9/11. If this documentary is produced, it will definitely become famous overnight, and even his name can easily spread throughout the United States and even the world.

But is it worth it?

After thinking for only two seconds, Murphy shook his head.

No matter how many times the Washington authorities are hacked in the film, the power of the White House is unquestionable. In such an emergency, it is a fool to stand on the opposite side of the government.

That's right, Fahrenheit 9/11 was once very popular and caused a lot of controversy, but it never became the mainstream voice in the United States, and even marginalized infinitely in Hollywood, which has always liked the black federal government. What did the director get suppressed in the end? The degree to which it has fallen, perhaps only God knows.

So what if Fahrenheit 9/11 was true? The Bush family is closely related to the Trump family. The entire 9/11 incident was a conspiracy, so what is it none of your business?

In these matters, Murphy has always had a high awareness. The United States really gave him a bad impression. It is far from the rumored paradise, but this does not mean that he wants to be a so-called truth vanguard.

As a result, the whole world has undergone tremendous changes, and Hollywood has also changed. The film industry has been most directly impacted.

The whole of the United States is immersed in an atmosphere of grief, and not many people go to the theaters. Those films that can be related to terrorist attacks or brutal killings are even more uninterested. The public's psychological tolerance for films has even dropped to the lowest level since the emergence of Hollywood. lowest point.

In the past, September, the traditional horror film release season in North America, was destined to become the Waterloo of many horror films.

The reality caused by 911 is too cruel. Few people are willing to accept the impact and torture of horror movies in theaters. Not only horror movies, but almost all types of movies have been severely impacted. There are more than a dozen horror movies in theaters. A rare deserted situation in recent years.

Movies like "Saw" were the most affected. After the 9/11 terrorist attack, the remaining less than 200 theaters also dropped this movie.

However, the final box office results of the film were amazing enough. (To be continued.)
