Chapter 719 Traitor

"Daisy, it's me, Justin."

In the living room of an independent apartment, Daisy held her mobile phone to her ear, and a familiar voice came from the receiver, "There is an exclusive interview with Murphy tonight, do you want to watch it?"

"I know." Daisy said with a smile, "I've turned on the TV now, and I'm waiting for the interview to start."

After chatting with Justin for a while, seeing that it was almost time, Daisy hung up the phone, made herself a cup of coffee, then sat on the sofa in front of the TV, switched to Fox News, and waited for the TV interview to start.

As the group leader of the IMDB discussion group, Daisy had definite news before that Murphy will specifically respond to the shooting incident in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood and the series of turmoil caused by it in tonight's exclusive interview. It is also the main reason that attracts her to sit here and watch.

Although she is now a believer in the magician, as a fan of the once crazy Murphy Stanton, she still wants to know what her former idol thinks of this series of events.

Daisy watched the TV, but the program hadn't started yet, so she picked up the coffee cup and took a sip slowly.

"Murphy has always been that perverted, dark and crazy director, and these are directly reflected in his movies." Daisy's mind is full of some thoughts about Murphy, "From the very beginning of "Hard Candy" And "Saw", and "Dark City", which finally reached its peak, have proved this!"

I believe that he will understand what he is doing. Daisy feels that this is a TV interview, and Murphy should not say anything to support him. He is a smart director, but they are the same kind of people, and neither will Murphy. Like those stupid media, say what to say against her.

Daisy is very confident about this, because she has always believed that she and Murphy Stanton are exactly the same kind of person, the only difference is that Murphy Stanton created those theories and put them in the film, while she is responsible for turning these theories into reality!

"It's a pity..." Daisy sighed, "If I could join forces with Murphy, Los Angeles must be in panic now."

She felt rather regretful, after all she had done so much, Los Angeles was still in order, so she would inevitably be disappointed.

As soon as the time came, the Fox News TV interview began immediately. Murphy and the host appeared in a small hall with exquisite decoration and began to express some of his views.

At the beginning, Daisy didn't feel much, but as the interview went on, her frown became tighter. What Murphy said, as well as her position, seemed to be different from what she thought.

"Mr. Michael Werner, a criminal psychologist from the FBI, has written in the media.

"

Looking at the relaxed Murphy at the TV festival, Daisy listened to what he said verbatim, "Looking at the previous series of mass shootings in the United States, the perpetrators can basically be identified as one type of people, that is, hate society, Highly delusional."

Who is he talking about? Daisy frowned, who hated society? Who suffers from hyperdelusional disorder? Am I right? I just want to make society what I want it to be!

Her original eager eyes gradually became dull, and she continued to watch Murphy on the TV show, "These people all hope to make an impact by killing, and the assailant in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood is a typical example. It doesn't have much to do with any film."

Daisy's eyes widened, how could he be so irresponsible? How can you say that? How can one deny the great idea of ​​creation? Isn't the magician born in your scripts and shots?

How could Murphy say and do this?

Also, the perpetrator? Murphy called himself the perpetrator? Why did he say that? I just put his ideas and ideas into practice!

This was completely different from what Daisy had thought before. Murphy didn't admit that this matter had anything to do with him at all, and even pushed it away.

In Daisy's eyes, what Murphy said on the TV was all about shirking responsibility.

"Geoffrey Swanson, a professor of violence and mental illness at Brown University, believes that ..." he seems to have found many experts as evidence, "should not prematurely draw conclusions about the motives of the killer. Although mass shootings are generally young Men, who are autistic, often imitate certain movies, but the problem is that there are thousands of people who fit the criteria and never do anything like that."

Daisy's eyes on the TV turned cold, and the fiery heart she had treated Murphy before was also cooling down little by little.

But on TV, her former idol and the person she most admired never stopped,” Steve Albrecht, an expert from the American Threat Assessment Professional Association, also recently expressed his views on these incidents, thinking that the murderer may be a series of The loser of the incident, who tried to solve the problem by killing, speculated that the police's efforts to find the motive of the murderer's crime may be futile, and they should focus more on preventing such criminal cases in advance."

What is a loser? What does it mean to try to solve a problem by killing? Daisy's heart became colder and she thought to herself, "Am I a loser? Am I someone who tries to solve problems by killing?"

On the TV, although Murphy did not directly say that her actions had nothing to do with the movie "Dark City", those remarks undoubtedly put the blame on her, as if these theories were not created by him.

Regarding the involvement and relationship between movies and violence, I couldn't say clearly last year. Whether it is CAA or 20th Century Fox, the strategies formulated by the professional public relations teams of the two sides are surprisingly consistent, and Murphy firmly denies that it is His films lead directly to these cases.

Murphy is not stupid, of course he will not admit the hype of the media, let alone agree with the so-called murderer who was created by the movie. This is America, he is a Hollywood director, and movies are just one of the commodities. Just like the knives and guns sold in the mall, they can kill people, but the responsibility cannot be attributed to the people who legally manufacture and sell them, right?

Only a fool would admit that his films lead to violent crime.

At the show, Murphy continued according to the strategy formulated in advance, "North America is a very mature film market. Hollywood has perfect self-censorship. There are very limited violent scenes in films that can be released in North America. "City" is a PG-13 movie, and it's essentially a family movie, and a lot of kids are going to see it."

He said naturally, "If you say that movies are related to violence, and literary works also have violence, you should not think about it randomly. In fact, the core issue of this incident is the issue of gun control in the United States."

This kind of thing is not only to shirk responsibility, but also to find a more suitable person to take the blame. In a country like the United States, who else can find a more suitable person to take the blame than the federal government and the American system?

While the show was going on, Murphy's black fan organization and some hardcore movie fan organizations also posted posts and created topics on the Internet, especially on social platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, which have a large number of users, they were extremely active .

"I would like to ask the audience friends who have watched "Dark City", who among you has not been fascinated by the magician's extreme madness and sophisticated planning? Who dares to say that after watching it, there is no desire to detonate somewhere The urge to drop a bomb and walk out like a magician? But did you do that?"

"No! Because you are rational, you can tell what is fantasy and what is reality."

"But for some people, they have been living in fantasy, or are forced to live in fantasy, maybe the murderer, like the magician, has a shocking psychological scar, and criminal psychology also believes that , The occurrence of criminal behavior is inseparable from childhood experience, and the influence of the real world on a person's psychology is the root of criminal behavior!"

Murphy himself would not believe that movies could not affect the real society at all, but it was just a matter of thinking about it, and it was definitely not suitable to say it.

Sitting in front of the TV, Daisy remained motionless, her eyes were as calm as water, and her heart was as cold as ice.

"Why? Why is this happening?" She wanted to shout, but she couldn't say a word, "Why did he say that? Why?"

The TV program was always on, and Murphy's voice came again, "In fact, there is a saying that describes it well-people actually know the truth. This world is very simple and cruel. There are no miracles and no magic. , but some people just can't accept these..."

"Director Stanton, one last question." The host's voice sounded from the TV, "The murderer may be your fan. If he is sitting in front of the TV, what do you want to say to him?"

Daisy concentrated instantly, stared at the TV tightly, and even pricked up her ears, she wanted to see what Murphy had to say!

"I hope he can surrender himself to the police soon..."

After hearing the first words Murphy uttered on TV, Daisy stood up abruptly, her gaze became as sharp as a sharp sword.

"I don't know if you can watch this show, but what I want to say is, please think about it anyway, it is completely wrong to do this, there are still many beautiful things to pursue in this world, don't continue to be in going down the wrong path..."

"Damn!" Daisy picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, "Damn! Damn! Damn..."

She said it several times in a row, her voice getting higher and higher, and finally she lifted her foot and kicked the sofa hard, only then did she feel better in her suppressed heart.

After a long time, Daisy gradually calmed down, but her eyes were frighteningly cold.

"Traitor!" With a ferocious expression on her face, she slowly squeezed out a sentence, "Murphy Stanton, you are a traitor!"
