Hollywood Road

Driving the SUV, Daisy followed the man into downtown Los Angeles, turned several turns in a row, and saw him parked outside an apartment building, quickly got out of the car and entered the apartment building with a bag, as if live here.

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

"It seems," Daisy nodded confidently, "that's where I live."

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

"Asshole, I won't let you go!"

Driving the car, Daisy kept saying to herself, "You will definitely pay for what you did!"

When she got home, she immediately found the drawing board, drew a baseball cap on it, and imitated the way the magician in "Dark City" spread terror, and made more bright red 'X's on it!

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

Daisy believes that as long as she plans carefully, she will definitely be able to cause chaos in Los Angeles like a magician!

Therefore, the first step is very critical. If she is not going to act sneakily like the violent beating on the beach before, it is impossible to cause chaos.

She needs an explosive effect, so choosing a suitable place to do it is very important!

Daisy had just commanded a complete victory on IMDB before, and Daisy was full of confidence that she could do it.

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 a magician.

She raised her hand and brushed slowly over the magician, "Since you can't come out, let me create chaos instead of 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's activities, and she also noticed that the attacks on Murphy and slandering Catholicism had stopped for a while on the Internet. , began to appear again, and it seems that it has something to do with the red baseball cap.

However, Daisy had been planning and didn't do it. She knew that she was a woman and wanted to cause chaos and needed a stronger body, so she went to the gun club and fitness club more frequently.

Even added some gym equipment to the home.

May has come to the end of the month, and "Dark City" is about to start its fifth weekend of North American screenings, and it is facing the challenge of "Shocking Crisis" produced and distributed by Sony Columbia Pictures. This production cost 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 it is still quite attractive to movie fans.

In any case, with the great success of films such as "Independence Day", "The Day After Tomorrow" 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" Walk through it, this time ready to turn a group of terrorists into a demolition squad.

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

Murphy has heard that Sony Columbia Pictures paid three million dollars to buy the script of the film from James Van der Bilt. This deal was also called by the "Hollywood Reporter": " Most Expensive Script Buy in Recent Time".

Once upon a time, Murphy watched this action movie with the White House as a battlefield. Although "Shocking Crisis" will not get many points for originality, seriousness and subtlety, it is indeed very interesting. I have to admit, Roland - Emmerich is a terrific screen presenter who knows how to bring chaos on a grand scale to the stage.

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

In the upcoming weekend of Memorial Day, this commercial masterpiece of Sony Columbia Pictures earned more than 21 million US dollars in three days, ranking second on the North American box office list with a gap of 3 million US dollars!

The No. 1 movie is still "Dark City". Murphy's film has won the North American box office for five consecutive times, and it closed at $24 million in its fifth week of release, continuing to lead the North American box office rankings.

Including the 16 million US dollars earned in the previous four working days, "Dark City" took 30 million US dollars from the North American theater market during the seven days of this week, and the North American box office has accumulated 662.1 million US dollars.

Since then, "Dark City" has also successfully surpassed "Titanic"'s US$658.67 million, ranking second on the North American box office list!

Murphy broke James Cameron's monopoly of the top two in the North American box office list, and made countless American media sing their praises again.

The new issue of "Time" magazine directly listed Murphy as the cover character.

"As a top director in Hollywood, Murphy Stanton has the qualities of a god or an empire builder. He is not only a pop culture expert, but also the most needed director in the increasingly homogeneous Hollywood film industry!"

The praise of other media is no weaker than that of Time Magazine.

"Murphy Stanton is God's favorite!"

"In front of Murphy Stanton, apart from James Cameron, only himself is left!"

"Since the birth of the film industry, there has never been a director who has established 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 headlines: In the case of James Cameron's scarce production, Murphy Stanton is the real king of commercial movies!

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

Murphy himself is very clear that the North American box office of "City of Darkness" will not be a problem. The most important thing now is the global box office. Only with the efforts of overseas markets can the global box office of "City of Darkness" exceed 2 billion as soon as possible Dollar mark.

North America has a limited population. The United States and Canada together have a total population of just over 350 million. Counting the immigrant population and stowaways who buy tickets for movies, the market is at most 400 million people, worth 700 million US dollars. Its 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 figure was higher than the North American box office, it was not much higher, which did not coincide with the current development trend of Hollywood blockbusters.

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

However, after years of hard work, Murphy has already stood among the top ranks of the Hollywood director circle. The appeal of a top Hollywood director is huge in the global market, and "Dark City" has also broken away from the previous one. The kind of situation in the overseas response is quite enthusiastic.

In regions other than North America, from Latin America to Europe, from the Middle East to the Far East, from Australia to Russia, information related to "Dark City" can be seen everywhere on the mainstream media of many countries.

"Dark City and its director, Murphy Stanton, are hitting the record books. The film has topped the box office charts in every country it was released in, and has gradually become a unique phenomenon where parents bring Children go to see it, and the younger generation takes the elders to watch it. This is a cross-age experience sharing. It breaks the barriers of language, culture, and religion, and sets off a movie-watching craze all over the world, and this trend continues..."

"Sitting on the subway, you can hear people around you talking about this movie, talking about Chris Dane, talking about the madness of magicians, talking about the chaos that Murphy Stanton wants to show through this movie, Philosophical questions of law and human rights…”

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

Although those directors in Europe who are full of envy, jealousy and hatred try their best to criticize "Dark City" as having no artistry at all, except for the IMAX panoramic screens that show off, which are just for the sake of sensational and sensational plots, they can't stop this at all. The march of cinema.

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

Even the mainstream media in Europe can only give compliments when they see the ticket queues getting longer and longer and the box office figures are getting more and more scary.

"Murphy Stanton is becoming the leader of world trend culture!"

"Even though 2013 has only started half a year, we can confirm that no one has more influence than Murphy Stanton, where he is the focus and center of the world! Any word from him , Any action can easily attract the attention of the public and make the headlines of the major media."

Among the praises overseas, the cumulative overseas box office of "Dark City" reached 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, and the global box office reached 1.8628 billion U.S. dollars!

It's far from over, with the film only five weeks into its run, and while weekday grosses may dip below $2 million from the start of the new week, in North America and globally, There are also long screen times.

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